You know it’s been a slow news day when the top headline is Mike Robertson returns to Fabulous. Nothing against Mike. Just saying when its slow in our industry it’s really slow. On another note, I think Namejet dropping the initial bid of some domains down to $39 is a great idea. There were many names that don’t get a bid because of the starting price being too high. I think it should be $15 or $20 on a expiring name. Getting $20 or $39 is better than the zero that there were going to get. And on a third note, with the reduced inventory and lack of quality names at auction the competition is getting fierce. I find myself bidding against friends. And with so few names it has come up more often this year than any other year. Here are today’s names, you have to click to see current price.

Have a name at auction and need more exposure? Send me an email. I Charge $10 per name per day. We may be able to help. If you have an auction you want to promote, email us for details.*All names chosen by me, Shane or Josh . (ie you click through and purchase a name you like) or an occasional paid listing. Everything I say is based on my own research or is opinion. Do your own due diligence. That means look it up yourself if you don’t think the stats or my opinion is correct. I hand choose my names but I am paid to make this list by the auction houses, individuals that are auctioning names, and Godaddy affiliate links. Keep that in mind and only buy names that YOU think are good
” Just saying when its slow in our industry it’s really slow.”
Shane, your blog and one or two others are a daily read for me. And I’m well aware that the commitment to posting multiple times per week is a significant effort.
But I will say that, overall, there seems to be far less compelling content created to justify the 30-60 minutes per day (…which used to be much more than that, several years back) spent reading domain blogs.
While I still love the domain name space, and will be attending NamesCon, I can only relay the fact that I now spend triple the amount of time reading about blockchain, which has become a FAR MORE exciting area – particularly ETHEREUM.
Anyway, I’d be interested in your take on this in an upcoming post.
