Great available domains list
2007-11-14 04:22:00 Another day, another list. During the week I asked for your opinion on what kind of names you would like to see.

Solutions to the growing domain tasting crisis
2007-11-13 02:17:00 There has been a lot of complaining in recent times about the practice of domain tasting or kiting. It's nothing new, registrars have been doing it for years now, but domain tasting has only recently been available to the general public. Many registrars today allow you to register a domain, see if it has any traffick, and if not - delete it at not much cost. Moniker let's you do it for $1 a pop.

The future of internet marketing
2007-11-12 17:49:00 I've been thinking in recent times, about the rise in popularity of everything web based - welcome to the present some might say.

I even read a recent article where the Times and Post both experienced a strong loss of income due to dwindling sales of hardcopy.
Finding the right domain for your business
2007-11-12 04:18:00 I have always preached that there are still many quality domain names to be registered at reg fee. Now, before you start throwing stones, hear me out. Yes, the dictionary .coms are gone. And yes, most quality overture two keyword .coms are gone. However, does your business really have to have a dictionary word, or a big overture two word domain to be successful? Google, Ebay, Kazaa, Skype, and many others didn't think so.

2007-11-11 23:27:00 Recently, I was looking for a domain for a blog I want to start.

The 100 oldest .com domains
2007-11-08 10:12:00 I've recently seen a lot of speculation about the 100 oldest .com domains. It is a well known fact that SYMBOLICS.com is the oldest domain ever, created on 15 Mar 1985. I have compiled a list of the one hundred oldest domain names known. I would think each one of these names gets quite a bit of natural traffic.
Another list of great available domains
2007-11-08 02:10:00 It's that time again. After the last list, I got a lot of requests for available domains in the funny genre. That is why this list targets the fun, funny, weird, crazy etc keywords. If you would like the next list to concentrate around a specific keyword or set of keywords, feel free to leave a comment below and I will try and accomodate your request for the next list I put together. Once again, I have to emphasize that my email subscribers got this list a lot earlier then it was posted here on the blog, so if you want first dibs on the best name, make sure you are subscribed to that list. As they say, "The early bird gets the best donut"... or something like that :). Here is the list I put together this time:

Google domain registration from $10
2007-11-06 17:54:00 Google.com, the internet giant, last year entered into domain registration. They partnered with eNom and Godaddy to offer registration of the top 4 tlds .com, .net, .biz and .info. Interestingly, they have not included .org in that list. This I thought was a big move by Google, in what was maybe an attempt to counter Yahoo's ...

The latest collection of available domains
2007-11-05 19:59:00 I ran a very large batch of domains today, and ended up registering quite a few. However, physically and financially, I am not able to register all available domains that I find. Rather then let them rot in a file on my desktop, I share them with my readers. I honestly feel great if I hear that someone has registered a name I suggested and made some money or a website out of it. Some might say I am crazy, because today's batch is especially good. Some of these names will sell at $100 even in the reseller market. But hey, I am a generous guy. Anyways, if you find that the name you wanted was regged already, perhaps you should think about subscribing to my free newsletter - in the left column - it's completely FREE and more importantly SPAM FREE. I send all my lists to my subscribers first, then post them here an hour later, so if you want first dibs at the best names, make sure you sign up for the newsletter. Anyways, to cut things short, here is today's available domains list: |
