A few days ago I bought a domain at auction that used to be a pretty big local site here in our town. It was an arts and entertainment site for all things local. Our newspaper has been getting crushed financially (like most papers). It doesn’t help they had no plan to counter the effects of the internet. The local talk radio and the paper were left in a will to be run as a non profit. And boy have they done a great job. They don’t even try and make a profit. Always pinching pennies. No clue how to price or compete. They gouged the people that used their Help Wanted ads. They knew that local university and many companies by law were required to post job listings. When the law opened it up to online then everyone moved and stop using the paper. It was $20 instead of $300. They had trouble realizing the ONLY reason people read the local paper is to watch our kids sports, to see who died, see who got arrested, and interesting stories on local businesses and people. The rest we got online 12 hours ago. They made no attempt to buy the local sites that had gained traction. They could have bought them and hired the staff on the cheap. They’ve tried but recently they have decided to empty their nice radio station and condense the entire company into one floor of a 5 story building. Their staff is so small it makes sense. I got their old domain and the traffic is solid. Its a good name by itself but the traffic is great to send to my nursery website. A few couple thousand of local visitors for free each month. And free local web traffic is a good thing. Here are today’s names. Click for most recent 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
The World and technology constantly evolve. Keeping your head in the sand may land you on an empty beach when you finally pull your head out. “Where did everyone and all their business go?”
They moved on to a better beach. Happening in a lot of industries atm. 😉
