Now this doesn’t bother me particularly, but I noticed that when registering a few domains yesterday, (October 1), I paid an extra cent for them.

$7.49 using a coupon code plus $0.20 Icann fee = $7.69, Godaddy rounded it up to $7.70.  Read more …

This is an ex-blog domain of mine with PR 2 and parking revenue.  It was a blog about the now popular Eee PC by Asus, I bought it 3 or 4 months before the machine went to market and it’s popularity has grown in that time.

Go.ogle very helpfully accused me of invalid clicks, (someone else clicked, not me), so I lost my Adsense account and all the revenue to that point from the EeeLaptop.com site.  Read more …

There seem to be more domain tools appearing by the day, and I say you can’t have too many, just a personal opinion

Scott over at TrendDomaining.com has highlighted a couple from Name.com, which I personally find very timely. Read more …

I check Google Trends for most search phrases and domaining opportunities and use it as at least one data point when considering whether or not to invest. Read more …

‘Mumpreneurs’ or ‘Mumtrepreneus’ have become quite a phenomenom in the UK in the last few years.  It’s a sector of the economy that apparently contributes £4.4bn per year, ($8.8ish) and rising. Read more …

How effective is using StumbleUpon to promote a domaining blog?  I’m conducting a bit of an experiment to find out.

I’ve been using StumbleUpon for well over a year and it’s a great way to find interesting web pages, just by clicking on the Stumble button, (especially in the evening, when you’re unwinding).  It can be quite addictive. Read more …

Yep, last night, 11.15pm UK time.

I was preparing some late night snack and had the TV volume down quite low, so I didn’t hear all of it.  After some bizarre ad where a man swapped eating porridge for a 37K per year IT job, (74K in dollars), I noticed a familiar logo more commonly seen on my PC monitor. Read more …

It’s good to keep an eye on those domains which are closely related to yours, to get some idea as to whether or not the development of them will affect the value of your own domains.

If you own SportsCarHire.com, for example, how will the development of SportsCarHireUK.com affect the value of your closely related domain.  Your domain is better anyway; it will get more type-ins, it’s more generic, and has more chance of advertisers buying space on it from around the world and not just the UK.
