5 Questions To Be Answered during Next Week’s TRAFFIC Conference - The only TRAFFIC of the year is upon us. This year TRAFFIC will host just one conference, which kicks off Sunday in Fort Lauderdale.

Having just one TRAFFIC this year means a greater concentration of domainers and a bigger focus on business. Here are five questions to be answered next week in Fort Lauderdale. 1. How will the auction ... read more ...

Rick and Howard Pulling Out All a Stops for TRAFFIC Miami - Everything’s lined up for TRAFFIC Miami. It seems that it will deliver. I’ve been a vocal critic of some of the TRAFFIC shows in recent years. They seemed to have gone a bit stale and attendance had dwindled. That will not be the case with TRAFFIC Miami, which starts Sunday evening at the South Beach Loews. Perhaps Rick Schwartz and Howard Neu had something to prove. It doesn’t hurt that this is the only event they’re planning for this year (Rick Latona ... read more ...

TRAFFIC Kicks Off in Vancouver - A TRAFFIC conference in Vancouver, eh? Yesterday afternoon I carpooled from Seattle to Vancouver for the TRAFFIC conference. As we crossed the border, the border agent was very stern. Why are you entering Canada? For a conference. What kind of conference? A domain name conference. A what? I thought we were about to get into one of “those conversations” where you try to explain the domain name industry. But we didn’t and were shortly on our way into the city. Vancouver ... read more ...

The Week Ahead: Seattle, Then Vancouver - Stay tuned to DNW for reports from TRAFFIC. I’m headed up to the Pacific Northwest this week, and the timing couldn’t be better. It’s getting hot in Austin. It’s near 100 degrees, which is hot enough that I’m asking myself why I live here. My first stop will be Seattle on Monday (high temperature 71) to visit DomainTools’ new offices. I checked out their old digs a couple years ago, and they were nice. But word is the new offices are a nice improvement. ... read more ...

Answering Five Questions about TRAFFIC Vegas - Answering last week’s questions. Last week I posed five questions that would be answered at the TRAFFIC conference in Las Vegas. We now have the answers: 1. Is Latona’s ready for primetime? Unfortunately not. Although I’m not sure why it didn’t work, I know there were internet connectivity issues with the hotel. It also appears that the web application got slammed with traffic and couldn’t handle the load. I’m sure Rick Latona will fill us in when ... read more ...

Scenes From TRAFFIC, Day Two - Scenes and highlights from day two of the Targeted Traffic conference in Las Vegas. Yesterday was certainly an interesting one at the TRAFFIC Conference.

Unfortunately, we all know now that it took a turn for the worse as Latonas.com auction system was overburdened by traffic, bringing ... read more ...

Scenes from Opening Night of TRAFFIC Conference - TRAFFIC gets underway in Las Vegas. I woke up this morning to a beautiful view of snow capped mountains from my hotel room at the Hard Rock. It’s beautiful today, but yesterday was one of those freak weather days in Las Vegas where it rained. That spelled trouble for airlines, and I ended up arriving after most of yesterday’s opening sessions at TRAFFIC. But the people who attended the networking sessions said they got a lot out of them, and it certainly jump ... read more ...

5 Domain Industry Questions to Be Answered in Next 72 Hours - This week’s TRAFFIC event will answer some questions. Well, I’m off to Vegas. I’m excited to attend the updated T.R.A.F.F.I.C. conference. But unlike Ron, I’m not stoked about having two conferences back-to-back. Perhaps it’s because I live in the middle of the country (not coming from the East coast) and have a small child. Nonetheless, business is business. OK, and a bit of fun. For the next 72 hours, it’s all about TRAFFIC. Here are five questions ... read more ...
