Mini-Site in Ten Minutes
Many domainers (myself included) are seeing PPC drop down to nothing. But this post is not to complain about parking revenues. It is to (hopefully) motivate domainers to start developing mini-sites.
For me, mini-sites have been 1000% more profitable than parking, with some names. One of my favorites is SalviaFacts.com. Salvia is a new drug that [...]

I#8217;m not one to give you a link, say two sentences and move on. But this evening a domaining article made the front page of Digg, which doesn#8217;t happen very often. And the only reason I#8217;m posting about it is because it involves one of the geodomain ideas I had written about.

Re-Examining The Purpose of The Internet
OK, so it’s been over 2 months since I’ve written anything here. I guess I’ll throw this one out there to see who’s really listening.Face it, most of your domains suck. Pretty bold statement, right? Want to hear something even bolder? ALL OF MY DOMAINS SUCK. Yep, they sure do.

News Aggregation Or Stolen Content?
A couple weeks ago Jamie Zoch of DotWeekly.com posted about aggregation feeds here, and a few months earlier here. I left a brief comment with my opinion on the first one.

DomainNameNews.com is reporting that NameJet has confirmed, it will open its platform up to third party domain sellers in the near future. How soon? That remains to be seen but this was long forseen in a copy cat industry where SnapNames has been doing this very thing for a couple years.
YummyNames.com launch a bit premature?
Last week, YummyNames.com went live. It is a premium market to sell Tucows domain name holdings. (Remember those domain names they were "illegally" housing?) As it turns out, the launch may have been a bit premature.
