While nothing bugs me worse than mistyping a url and getting redirected 5 times with screen pops there has to be a comprise on this issue. I think just opening it wide up is a mistake but the internet is for everyone. If a “lost language” indigenous tribe wants to begin a network more power to them.

My most heavily trafficked sites are those with the best content. I don’t even market them.

Comment on What is a Premium Domain Name? by admin

ADvermain,

Thanks for dropping in and sharing your thoughts. The type-in domain crowd tends to think it has a monopoly on the term “premium domain”, but the sales reports at DNJournal definitely indicate otherwise. In fact, if anything, the past few years of sales reports have indicated that monetization from parking is all but dead. There may be a handful of people still making money off of it, but these days development is the only way to go for 99.5% of domains, unless of course you’re an active trader profiting from buying low and selling high.

Premium domains are those with value to a business or those that can be sold for much more than was paid for them. End of story.

The days when people didn’t know how to use search engines are long over.

“There is also a significant risk to consumers of myriad new methods of committing fraud will inevitably arise if ICANN implements a system in which no name is protected and anyone can own the rights to any name, brand or combination of words regardless of the United States and other countries’ respective trademark and copyright laws.”

I could not agree with you more on this topic, well said. A $185,000 application fee, and $25,000 annual fees for you own TLD! Just another way for them to make a ton of money. Lets see what this brings.

These are some great sales. Alot of generic domains here I remember reading about most of these. I hope to see some like these for 2012. Great post once again.

Great post! If your domain is generic and gets exact monthly keyword search volume, you have a Premium domain name. Having that generic domain without the word “THE” is much more valuable. But I still feel that is an outstanding domain name. Even with the word “THE”.

Great post on 301′s. I have always had problems with seasoned Domains. In the end I dont think it makes that much of a difference. Content is still king and if you have it and you link it you got it going.

I don’t think that the domain system overhall is going to make a quick impact, since many domain extensions aren’t going to appeal to a large group of keywords. Also, they are going to have to compete to get registries to even carry the extension. I’ve been following the growth story of existing less known extensions like .pro and they are growing steadily and still haven’t been picked up by every registrar.

Tracey,

Thank you for sharing your story. I was astounded by the indifference I encountered with law enforcement even after I had practically offered to hand-deliver them the fraudster/crook.

Well the LA times said she lost because of her extravagant spending and her inability to relate to her constituents. Maybe this domain dispute had something to do with it.
Thank you,
Patricia

I was just hit with credit card fraud, they used my credit card # at three online retailers and had it sent to 6819 NW 84Th Ave Miami FL 33166 STE JC6586.

All items were purchased and shipped to this address with my stolen account #. I was able to have one of the companies stop a shipment before it got there.

These people should do something about this!!!!

There are numerous ways to advertize a website for absolutely free in today’s cut-throat market. If you know how to advertize a web page for free, you will know that it’s actually not difficult to accomplish. Sometimes it might take only few minutes dependant upon the type of commercials and advertiser that you’ll be using. It shouldn’t be that hard to effectively advertise a web site for free and get the most website visitors to the website from it. Hunt for a handful of resources for free advertising using a basic search for “free advertising” on Google.
