  • Sedo's New Fee Structure Explained

    A lot of people seem to be asking about Sedo's new fee structure. Specially now that they charge a flat fee if the domain is not parked with them AND not with a fixed fee. I did some digging on their new price list and though not comprehensive, here are the results.

  • ccTLDs lead from the front!

    Everyone seems to have woken up to ccTLD investments all of a sudden. The big ticket sales in 2009 - 2010 have really seem to peaked an interest in ccTLDs from all over the world. Specially since these chart breaking sales are seen in the Global contenders charts now, instead of just the ccTLD charts on DNJournal. I've been a ccTLD evangelist ever since I started domaining back in 2007. It shows in my...

I’m sure all of you must have received the updates from Bido about the latest updates that it has undergone. The whole site layout has been changed to make it easier for you to see what domains are in auction. I’ll try and explain what I understand from the updates.

The New Look Bido

Voting Credits Think the most important update is the fact that each account now has 100 voting credits for free. You can buy more – 222 for each Bido credit of $8.88 or 4c each.

You can also add upto 3 (?) votes for every domain you’re voting on. If the domain More >

… or so says the headline at the popular TheDomains blog.

Partially correct is what I would say

CNN has invested in Outside.in – a startup which provides local feeds to news organizations in the US. How much is unknown but it should be seven figures going by the info released by the company.

However, CNN didn’t invest in the domain, they invested in the company and the future of the service it provides.

That the company in question uses a .in instead of a .com to brand itself just underlines the global significance and acceptability of the .in extension because of IN also being More >

“Use Google to Make 1000s of Dollars!” or “Easy Cash with Google: You Could be Making up to $978 a Day Working from Home!” You may have seen offers like these using Google’s name or logo that sounded too good to be true.

To fight back, we’re working to stop various fraudulent “Google Money” schemes, and this week filed More >

There are essentially five domain investment strategies that work better than most others. This is not information most people would be willing to share, but I thought I’d let it out there – if it helps one person register better domains, all the better.

Investment Strategy # 1: Geo Domains

City names, state names, country names in any tld are called Geo domains. Such names might be tough to monetize without development, but resale values are usually substantial and most extensions will get traffic and thus revenues. Generally locations with population greater than 100,000 are considered worthy of owning, but high value More >
