Alright, so NamePros just shipped another round of updates to their landers, focused heavily on better presentation, cleaner seller branding and more flexibility for conversions. Wouldn’t say it’s “OMG, game-changing!” stuff but you don’t need game-changes to boost conversion rates 🙂 So first of all, and this is a change I took advantage of for my own domains, both the Short Description and Seller Description now support multiple lines, which makes your landers feel way…

… or the AbdulBasit Makrani approach, but with a twist: I will keep the domains at Afternic but at higher than usual prices (mostly $4,888) to make up for the somewhat extortionate commission (I agree with AbdulBasit on that front) I will have to pay for not using the Afternic landers. Portfolio size: x,xxx domains. Why now? The end user climate is quite volatile, with consumer and business confidence at sometimes pre-Great-Recession lows but accommodative…
As strange as it may sound, I believe voting for UnstoppableDomains over at NamePros a is in our best interest as domainers more so than in theirs. Sounds weird? It’s actually quite simple. After two decades in this space, I can say that a lot of times, domainers do themselves a disservice by being too selfish. Just take, take, take. But when the time comes to give back… crickets. Even when giving back is as…
I’m pleased to announce that the price hikes that are coming as of December 1 will be super mild, with $5.99 transfers and new registrations for Domainer Club members and Five Dollar Friday basically remaining Five Dollar Friday for everyone, except that prices will go from $5 to $5.99… not exactly a major change! More specifically, here’s what you can expect: Domain transfer prices for Domainer Club members will go up, but only from $5.55…
For the time being, it’s still possible to transfer up to 1,800 (!) domains at just $5.55 but as they’ve been mentioning for a couple of weeks, that deal will be going away on December 1. Understandable, given the fact that nobody has ever offered something like this for extended periods of time. Again, and I’ve been doing this for MANY years: steep discounts on transfers like this deal existing for extended periods of time…
Things have been a tad hectic over here, will keep things short and simple: a portfolio with x,xxx domains is being liquidated. Solid “bread and butter” inventory with a decent and consistent end user STR , names that actually sell to end users. But life is life and a real estate move is on the horizon, so the names are being liquidated at ultra-low prices, preferably in bulk but also individually. Not sharing them here…
Super collapse on the horizon! 1987 all over again! OMG, everyone panic! I literally tried to stay away from X all weekend because in all honesty, there’s only so much sensationalism I can stomach. It literally seemed and still seems like all pundits have everything figured out. That Monday will come with a humongous 1987-like crash (click HERE for a one minute animation about what happened in 1987), it was final: the market will come…
… or how I sold a domain to an end user less than a month after an investor passed on a $xx each 20-domain package due to him refusing to budge an extra $5 per domain. He saw the list on DadDomains.com and emailed me (deals@daddomains.com in this case) to negotiate further. Not judging, I respect the hustle. However, had he just bought instead, he would have recouped his entire investment plus profit (!) after…
All of the 90 names below have been deleted yesterday and are available for registration at the moment of writing. If you end up registering domains from this list, please send $5 per name via PayPal by clicking HERE. The link will take you to a PayPal page where you simply select the number of domains you have registered through the “Quantity” section: 1 if you bought one ($5 payment), 2 if you bought two…
It saddened me to hear that one of the domain industry’s familiar faces is battling colorectal cancer, my family has had its own battle with cancer last year and kicking its butt unfortunately involves immense pain… both physical and financial. The domain community can help him with the latter by contributing to his gofundme campaign: https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-ryans-fight-against-colorectal-cancer I wish Ryan as well as his family all the best and hope he will able to throw everything…
