Pizza Vs. Porn; because did one sell for 4 times some-more than a other? - Ok so as we all know pizza.com sold for $2.6 million dollars at sedo.com today. Nice sale, except it pales in comparision to porn.com which sold for $9.5 Million several months ago. Seems strange doesn’t it?? You can advertise pizza on television. Porn you can’t. You can advertise pizza on the super bowl, porn you can’t, According to the New York Times, Pizza Hut’s annual ad budget is $75 million dollars. Domino’s Pizza is $50 million dollars. And did we tell you this is the annual budget. So ... read more ...

We Drop a Note in GoDaddy’s Suggestion Box and TDNAM Changes - A couple of weeks ago I chatted with Tess Diaz, Domain Asset Advisor with Godaddy. She called asking if we had any suggestions for improving the TDNAM auction platform for expired domains. We suggested that TDNAM should not show any expired auction domains in the “most active” category if they only had one bid. Our argument was that a domain having one bidder, does not make it “most active” Actually you need two bidders to have an auction. We thought it was unfair that those who spent the ... read more ...

“Why would any domainer sell his profitable name during a vast auction” - This was a question posed to me by Jeff Schneider, a fellow domainer and a member of Rick’s Board, the other day in response to a post I wrote. At the time I told him that was a great question deserving of a post to answer. There are of course many reasons why a domainer would sell their names at a TRAFFIC auction or a Domainfest, snapnames.com auction. These live auction which are a part of domain trade shows are very good venues to liquidate domains and turn them into cash. These venue sell ... read more ...

How Do You Feed a Fish?? - A few weeks ago, I was in Hawaii with my wife and we ate in a restaurant surrounded by a huge Koi fish pond. There were 15 tables around the water and we were all throwing food in to the water to feed the fish. Here is what I noticed, 14 of the tables just dropped the food down into the water’s edge. The vast majority of the fish collected right at the edge and fought each other for the food. We did it differently. We threw food out as far as we could, away from the edge, to feed the fish that ... read more ...
