First of all, I’d like to mention a $1.99 promotion I just saw over at GoDaddy which also has a charitable purpose, helping the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
To go to the promotion page, click HERE and if you end up taking advantage of their $1.99 + ICANN fee offer, I’d strongly recommend using the option GoDaddy gives you before paying, the option of rounding up and paying a little extra to help a good cause.

Lots of people are following Twitter’s IPO and wondering whether or not we’re dealing with the second Internet bubble. My answer is a clear “NO”, for the simple reason that we can no longer simply refer to “the Internet” in a way which encompasses everything.
Some Internet companies are insanely profitable and more than justify their valuation, other companies… not so much 🙂

When an end user contacts you, playing hard to get makes sense because it lets that person know you’re not eager to sell. But doing it when you are actively selling a domain (in other words, when you are pitching it to someone as opposed to being contacted by that person) doesn’t make as much sense.

Yesterday, I explained that while great LLLL dot coms such as CVCVs are doing remarkably well, domainers should stay away from the lowest quality LLLLs (also known as “wholesale” LLLL dot coms) such as YQXZ.com.

Certain types of LLLL dot coms have done remarkably well (CVCV dot coms, for example) and therefore, lots of domainers made the mistake of thinking that all LLLL dot coms have value.
Wrong.
First of all, let’s define the term “wholesale LLLL”.

Rick Schwartz published a post earlier today and while I agree 100% that you’re leaving money on the table when flipping, I’d like to explain that in some cases, that’s not necessarily a bad idea.

Yesterday, I explained why focusing on quality as opposed to quantity is the best approach in 2013 and beyond.
I’ll take it even further and say that all domainers should watch at least an episode or two of Rick’s Restorations. It’s basically a show about a very passionate guy (Rick Dale) who restores vintage items and things like that for his customers.

One of my favorite Warren Buffett quotes, one that applies to domains as well in my opinion, is this:
“It’s far better to buy a wonderful company at a fair price than a fair company at a wonderful price”

I’ve noticed that this applies to people who earn a living online more than to other individuals. But before I start, I just want to make one thing perfectly clear: I’m not saying you shouldn’t read/learn.
I love reading.

I’m convinced there will be at least a few companies that will offer domains free of charge and at first sight, this might seem like something significant/revolutionary but in my opinion, free new gTLDs won’t be a threat at all.
The paradox is that, again in my opinion, people won’t want them precisely *because* they’re free.
