How about 6 new domain registrations for $3.75 total?
Yup… Pretty much less than $4 bucks for 6 new domains. Pretty good deal if you ask me. Register.com is currently offering $.50 domain registrations, and NetworkSolutions.com is offering $.75 domain registrations. The prices keep coming down at both of these registrars as I’ve been reporting the past few weeks. We’ll probably see them giving out domains for free come Christmas time There is a 3 domain limit per order, at each one of these registrars… Simply follow the links below, the discount will get auto-applied to...
read moreWhat do Frank Schilling & Kevin Ham know about Black Friday that we don’t… ?
Hrmm.. Kevin Ham owns and operates the very successful category killer website BlackFriday.com and Frank Schilling’s newest business venture called Uniregistry, wants to operate the new gTLD .blackfriday and come next season, it may very well be up and running just in time for the big day and these two will be going head to head. Funny! But I can’t help but ponder… What the heck is it that these two uber-domainers know about the whole black friday phenomenon that the rest of us don’t? Is it really that great of a...

read moreZappy’s interview @ DomainSherpa.com is a must-watch
I just finished watching the video and all I gotta say is WOW!! Michael Zapolin did a really great job on the video based interview at Domain Sherpa which covered some of the biggest domain sales/developments in the history of this business. You can extract a whole lot of information from the hour and a half long video and apply in your own business ventures. There was tons and tons of wonderful insights revealed into how multi-million dollar sales come about, with never before released details. Basically, there is no magic formula…...
read more$.75 domains available @ Register.com (com, net, org, info, biz and us)
I’ve been seeing Register.com experimenting with the 75 cent price point lately… Thought it’s worth sharing with you all. I believe this is the lowest price for new domain registrations around currently on the market. You are allowed to register a maximum of 3 domains per order and this offer is only available to people from the USA and Canada. Sorry folks from abroad, but apparently Register.com doesn’t value your business all that much. You will just have to settle for GoDaddy or whatever. Simply click...
read moreSuccess! Kevin Ham’s BlackFriday.com is kicking ass..
Looks like the now 3 year old BlackFriday.com is finally kicking some major ass. It’s holding down the #1 spot at Google.com and Yahoo.com when you search for Black Friday, and it’s #2 over at Bing. The site is also getting a lot more traffic/activity than the two previous Black Friday seasons according to Alexa. Maybe the 1.2M fans of BlackFriday.com at Facebook got something to do with it really taking off in 2012 as they are spreading the word on “social media” or it’s gotta be the recently released...
read moreWhat will $.99 get you at NetworkSolutions.com today?
Well, NetSol was once known to be one of the most expensive domain registrars and internet related services provider on the planet. Period. However that seems to be changing slowly but surely. Surprisingly nowadays it looks like 99 cents will get you lot at Network Solutions. I mean, who would of ever thought such a day would come? You can grab up-to three new .com/.net/.org/.biz/.info domains at 99 cents each. Also you can get unix based web hosting which includes 300 gb of storage, unlimited data transfer and all the other basic good stuff...

read moreWhere else can you buy high trafficked domains?
Sedo.com. If you use the advanced search to browse around the domain inventory, you can easily find high traffick domains for sale. There is a ton of generics listed that receive traffic, as well as obvious typos/potential infringers, and of course tons of plain ol’ crappy domains pumped with likely nothing but fake/ghost traffic… But that’s just how it’s always been and how it will always be. Anyways. Below are just some of the highest trafficked domains currently listed for sale at Sedo that jumped out at me… I...
read moreElliot flips NYC apt 2x & ready to conquer MASS!
Purchased in January of 2008 for $312K and flipped for $786K in October of 2012. Not bad… Right? Congrats! So now that Elliot is back in the saddle I think all domainers need to stay on top of their game more so than ever before and beware of these latest developments. Why you ask? Well, now that Silver has a much less hectic city life, plus an unlimited FREE clean and natural fresh air supply 24/7… Oh and an extra few hundred grand sitting around in the bank account, you may just notice those low to mid 5 figure domains are going...
read moreJan Barta’s alternative type-in domain traffic monetization platform gets acquired
So it’s official. Looks like German based “Team Internet” has acquired Elephant-Traffic.com, which was one of only a handful of monetization platforms around that focused on monetizing exclusively type-in domain traffic, selling it directly to advertisers via zero-click. You know… I always wanted to give Elephant Traffic a try since it seemed like a great solution for both domainers and advertisers… But then I would constantly keep forgetting. Argh! Below is the notice/update that was posted on their...
read moreBuying traffic & revenue producing domains @ smaller marketplaces… Easy money!!
I am pretty sure that everybody knows about GoDaddy’s expired domain auctions/aftermarket, and It’s probably one of the most popular places around today to pick up expired domains that are almost guaranteed to have some sort of traffic since each for sale listing shows traffic data (if available) which is great… But GoDaddy isn’t the only one sharing traffic data. There is a few smaller marketplaces which you should be checking out as well. There is Dynadot.com and Name.com of course. They have been selling small...
read moreDomain registrations/transfers @ AIT.com only $2.99!
I came across a nice deal today which I thought is definitely worth sharing. AIT is offering new domain registrations and transfers for only $2.99. This special deal is available on .COM, .NET, .ORG, .INFO, .BIZ and .US. There are no coupons or anything else needed. Another nice perk is that domain privacy/whois protection is included for free. It comes standard with all domains at AIT. Was interesting to see that AIT only offers domain registration services in these 6 gTLD’s and non of the other over-hyped crappy extensions. You...
read moreDude! Backups are like insurance… You gotta have em.
After yesterday’s post which was a nice reality check for some, figured I’d elaborate a bit more today about backups and the overall importance of setting up even multiple backup services/options for your website’s, content, etc… It’s a must! Basically in this day and age of the cyber-world, backups are the equivalent to real-world insurance (car, health, home, etc). The only way to protect and safeguard your websites and content is to have continuous backups always running and available in multiple places, should...
read morePOOF! Just like that DotWeekly.com is gone… R.I.P :(
I was replying to some messages on my FB page last night and I came across Jamie Zoch’s update which reads “DotWeekly.com went up in a flaming fire ball and is gone for good! Pretty sad to see nearly 7 years of your work simply gone! (lost in an ISP change and no backup was saved) Just my luck lately but looking forward to sunny days.” Now DotWeekly.com hasn’t been updated in over 5 month’s now… The site just went quiet, without any explanation, and has remained pretty much dead ever since… But still,...

I’ve wrote about Mike Mann and Mike Berkens in my previous posts in this series. Now it’s time to focus on Frank Schilling, who is arguably one of the most powerful and influential domain investors/entrepreneurs today in our business. If you are wondering how exactly he got to where he is today, the answer is rather simple… His domain collection is mostly focused on a few key gTLD’s which are proven winners. Since day one. That’s right. Around 90% are .COM domains, around 9% .NET and a very small percentage falls...

Rick Schwartz yesterday put together a nice list of domaining related blogs that he recommends for everybody to checkout daily. Yours truly made the list, but that isn’t what this post is all about. I want to point out two other blogs that are some of my favorites, which you should also add to your reading list because they cover a lot of important domain industry related issues and provide fascinating insights. The two blogs I am talking about are both published by the fellas at FairWinds Partners. The first one is called...

New .ASIA domains are available for $1.90/year and .EU domains are available for $2.90/year. These prices are dirt cheap, and probably the best deal around. Period. According to EURid, there are almost 3.7M registered .EU domains as of this writing. .ASIA doesn’t have that many domains registered currently if you compare it to .EU… I...

If you’ve got a 4 letter .com domain and you’re not exactly sure how to go about marketing/selling it properly so that you can fetch top dollar… You may want to have a look at Get On The Web’s pitch which is all about 4 letter domains. It is titled “Why choose a 4 letter .COM domain name?” and of course it is aimed at end-users, but domain owners can benefit from reading the pitch as well. You can easily take bits and pieces and use them during your own negotiations with potential buyers. GOTW.com has put...
