Be clever about domain name pumping - Carefully consider the source of domain name sales data.
It’s no secret that money is being made with short domain names right now. It has moved beyond 2 and 3 character domains to longer domain names.

At what cost would it make clarity to sell a DNW.com domain name? - I’ve never considered it before, but perhaps I should
Three letter domain names continue to go up in value, and I receive daily offers from China for DNW.com.
For the most part, this is a non-starter for me. After all, I use the domain name for this site.
But at what price would it make sense to reconsider selling it?
I don’t actually host the site on DNW.com. I use the domain name in a few ways:
1. A type-in shortcut to send people to DomainNameWire.com.
2. As a URL shortener.
3. Word-of-mouth. ... read more ...

SnapNames is compelling an auction during NameJet for LTD.com - Co-branded auction is likely the first of many.
NameJet is currently hosting an auction for LTD.com.
This is obviously a good domain name. Not only is it three characters, but it’s also a common company ending for “Limited”. With a reserve under $50,000, it’s a no-brainer.
But the real news here is that the auction is co-branded with SnapNames and NameJet, and SnapNames is helping to promote the auction even though it is taking place at NameJet.
