<p><a href="http://www.BestDomainsWebsite.com">BestDomainsWebsite.com</a> was launched today as joint business venture of Howard Neu, of T.R.A.F.F.I.C., and Danny Pryor, of Rodan Media Group.</p>
<p>People or companies wishing to sell domains can set up a free account, then submit up to ten domain names per submission, to be listed for sale on the website.</p>
<p>Domain names for sale are currently categorized into 20 groups and may expand as the sales platform grows.</p>
<p>One of the unique features of this domain sales site is that buyers and sellers of domains can easily communicate with each other on a private message board for the smooth and rapid transfer of domain names, after a sale is consummated.</p>
<p>The site also allows sellers to upload screen-shot images of their domains’ sites, so investors might better see the potential of the domain name.</p>
<p>The site charges a 10% commission to the seller and handles all escrow services.</p>
<p>The site accepts credit cards and paypal for payment from buyers and will hold the funds in escrow until the buyer has control of the domain before disbursing the funds to the seller.</p>
<p>Unlike other Escrow.com which has a $5,000 credit card transaction limit, BestDomainsWebsite.com, has no such limitation, allowing buyers to better finance their purchase of domains using their credit cards.</p>
<p>The site will also act as an escrow agent for private transactions.</p>
<p>This marks the 3rd site Mr. Neu has launched since November.  <a href="http://www.thedomains.com/2009/11/20/from-a-hand-registered-domain-to-a-financial-portal-investingfunds-com-launches/">Howard launched InvestingFunds.com </a>and <a href="http://www.thedomains.com/2009/11/14/domainer-lawyer-launches-malpracticeattorneys-com/">MalpracticeAttorneys.com in November 2009. </a></p>
<p>We wish Howard and Danny the best of luck with the new venture and I for one will be submitting some names for sale on the platform in the next couple of days.</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p><a href="http://www.devhub.com">Dev Hub</a> just shared with me the results of a three month test of 50 domains chosen by the client a domain name portfolio holder.  As you can see from the chart’s below, over the three month test the domains that were previously just parked, went from making $63 a month to over $140 a month.</p>
<p>The 50 domains went from having no search traffic when they were parked to getting almost 3,000 visitors from search in the third month on Dev Hub platform.</p>
<p>So while some of the improvement in revenue can be attributed to additional traffic generated from search, Dev Hub was able to generate 58% of the revenue from sources other than parking.</p>
<p>Pretty impressive, especially when you consider the fact that only 1/2 of the domains in the test were .com’s.</p>
<p>This report comes at a time when the industry is looking for new and better ways to monetize domains.</p>
<p>It was just a little over a month ago that I was sitting on the <a href="http://www.ricklatona.com/2009/12/02/test-track-now-open-for-submissions-entrepreneurs-and-investors-unite/">TRAFFIC test track panel</a> when Mark Michael one of the co-founders of Evo Media Group, the company behind the development platform,, Dev Hub appeared before us looking for an additional $1.5 Million of investment capital.  Although I was quite impressed with Dev Hub system and Mr. Michael’s presentation, I couldn’t commit to that type of funding in the 15 minutes we had.</p>
<p>Looks like I made a bad decision.</p>
<p><a href="http://domainnamewire.com/2009/11/25/devhub-creator-snags-1-5-million-investment/">Dev Hub did in fact secure the investment they were seeking after the show</a>.</p>
<p>Here is the charts and relevant data for the case study:</p>
