Remember the go-go days of the 1990s, when dot-com domain names based on ordinary nouns and verbs were snapped up by hopeful companies?

In response to that, Google's JohnMu responded saying a few things:

(1) Buying the site made it appear as if it is a new site.

(2) Buying an established site and running similar content on it in the future does help you get a jump start.

(3) Exact match domains does not equal rankings for that keyword phrase.

Another thing to keep in mind when it comes to hand registering a brandable domain is to remember the idea is that someone (maybe even you) is going to eventually build a brand with that name. If that’s the case, I think it’s very important to also reserve the matching Twitter username. Social media is a massive part of company branding these days and this could make or break your sale. In fact, I’ve heard of sales of brandable domain names falling through because the buyer preferred a name that had the matching Twitter handle.]]> http://www.domainerss.com/blog/2011/10/acquiring-domain-names-part-i-hand-registering-domains-igoldrush-blog-igoldrush/feed/ 0 Domain Names for the Average Joe – With Page Howe http://www.domainerss.com/blog/2011/10/domain-names-for-the-average-joe-with-page-howe/ http://www.domainerss.com/blog/2011/10/domain-names-for-the-average-joe-with-page-howe/#comments Thu, 27 Oct 2011 06:48:03 +0000 (author unknown) http://www.domainerss.com/blog/?guid=4c8c091f5a4fed339aa2414a2512a211 Link To Full Story: www.domainsherpa.com

$49/month.

There are a bunch of features, but at its simplest form this is how I think most users will benefit:

1. Use filters to find high quality expiring or auctioning domains.

2. Use bid management tools to place automated bids toward the end of the auction.

Great idea.
Last weekend, I thought of a proposal that would bridge the gap and make a deal palatable for both parties. The buyer would pay his final offer price to me to buy the domain name, and his company would donate the difference between what I was asking and the sales price to a non profit organization. ]]> http://www.domainerss.com/blog/2011/10/creatively-bridging-the-gap-in-a-negotiation-elliots-blog/feed/ 0 Sedo Partners With Moniker & Afternic.com’s DLS Expands To Include Godaddy.com | The Domains http://www.domainerss.com/blog/2011/10/sedo-partners-with-moniker-afternic-com%e2%80%99s-dls-expands-to-include-godaddy-com-the-domains/ http://www.domainerss.com/blog/2011/10/sedo-partners-with-moniker-afternic-com%e2%80%99s-dls-expands-to-include-godaddy-com-the-domains/#comments Fri, 21 Oct 2011 06:50:25 +0000 (author unknown) http://www.domainerss.com/blog/?guid=e121a1750a2b38c8e09f66d57f2ab26c Link To Full Story: www.thedomains.com

When you take a look at the Traffic auction, there were some decent bids not accepted.

Prague.com received a $200,000 bid.  The asking price was $800,000.  This is not a good worldwide economy, the notion that a city of 1.3 million would sell for $300,000 more than Brazil.com, a country of 192 million plus is fantasy imo.  $200,000 was a very good bid, the seller can do whatever they like but don't blame TRAFFIC.

Dubai.com $750,000 bid received.  The asking price was $4,000,000. This is not 2007 from Time World in October of 2010,

While in college, Thomas Smale was looking for a way to earn extra cash. When he stumbled upon the concept of buying websites that needed work and reselling them for a profit, he realized he had found his niche. His first website flip returned $500 on an investment of $100; now Smale is co-owner of a business that brokers and flips websites, grossing $1 million in annual revenue.
