A few months ago I celebrated 10 years of DomainShane now DSAD.com. It’s been an amazing journey. I didn’t make a big deal about it because I have enough pride in it that I don’t need affirmation or pats on the back. I’ve gotten more out of it personally than I’ve given so in some senses I feel guilty. Some of my best friends are people I met in this industry as well as the only enemies I have in the world. By enemies I mean people that despise me and I have no feelings either way about them because I don’t really know them. I’ve made hundreds of thousands of dollars in domains over the 10 years but more importantly I’ve used this column as an emotional release. I’ve shared the raising of my daughter and her growing up and the rest of my family saga. I’ve brought my Mom to conferences. And I’ve made some good and bad jokes. But most importantly I learned and grew in this profession into someone that knows what the Hell they’re doing. I have missed less than 20 days in 3650 nights of writing. I used to do it all by myself but I know have friends like Travis, Josh, Mike, and Aaron joining me so its a piece of cake.
So thank you all for coming by each day. At some point it will end but not in the near future. I hope you all have gotten something out of it but if you didn’t I don’t really care because you only lost a little time. 🙂 On to the regular scheduled program
Quote of the Day: “Stop asking people who have never been where you’re going for directions”
Domain of the Day: SlotCity.com Sold for $56K seven years ago. Based on that somebody is getting a good price.
Namejet, Sedo, Snap, and other Names Up for Auction

CHNR.com Four great western letters with no reserve
Theirs.net No name can fail the radio test more than this one
NYFootball.com It’s a pretty good way to get around trademarks
GOS.net Could meet reserve since its under $2.5K

PrizeMonkey.com Monkey is a heavily used naming convention. Gorilla and Monkey seems to work. Other forms not as much
AgeReversal.com Count me in. Aging is a bitch
StopErosion.com More of a slogan than a brand. I deal with a few companies that could use it
Mobuy.com Godaddy says this is worth $7K. Upgrade name for quite a few companies. Some are listed on Crunchbase
NyCharities.org Big bids looking to buy the backlinks and juice that you would expect from an old dot org
HomeLux.com A ton of Lux names out there. One with this exact match. Bidders think more than this one is going to want it
Embach.com A city in Austria and a last name. That should be enough to have some brands that share the name
Growley.com A dog with this name dominates the first page of Google. So pet products
TailWagger.com Same idea here. Same mediocre name

CryptoLoan.net dot net a falling knife or a bargain?

Have a name at auction and need more exposure? Send me an email. We 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 us, Shane and Josh . (ie you click through and purchase a name you like) or an occasional paid listing. Everything we say is based on our own research or is opinion. Do your own due diligence. That means look it up yourself if you don’t think the stats or our opinion is correct. We hand choose the names but we are paid to make this list by both 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.
Congrats Shane. You are the most underappreciated contributor to the domain industry. I am always shocked when You aren’t in consideration for these industry awards.
I appreciate the work you put in and help you provide to others.
Thank you Rod. That means a lot coming from you. You don’t write as much as you used to but I always thought you were one of the most advanced thinkers I knew. Not afraid to try things and experiment
I think you might have me mixed up with someone. I lurk and read more than write.
I was on the last domain Sherpa profitable flip show Mike Cyger hosted with the Russian domain name, but I only comment occasionally on blogs and namepros.
I did have you confused but I appreciate the comment nonetheless 🙂
Maybe I misinterpreted LoL, I was thinking you were talking about the guy who used to write super long responses to everything.
Anyway , looking forward to enjoying your content for many years to come. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
Much appreciated Shane!
Thank you Chris
Congratulations! I realize it is a lot of work doing this.
So where do you see yourself 10 years from now? Still in this industry?
Michael,
Absolutely still in the industry, wherever the industry is at. Writing a post every day? We’ll see. 10 years is a long time away so I’ll just take it week by week and see what happens. And thank you for all the comments and interaction here over the years. You’ve been a big part
That sounds good. And thanks!
Thanks, Shane, Travis, Josh, Mike, and Aaron! I read your blog every day, and as a relative newbie, I’ve have gotten a hell of a lot out of it, even the jokes. Congrats!
Thanks Shane, Travis, Josh, Mike and Aaron for what you do here at DSAD, and congrats on this milestone!
Yours is the first blog post I read in the morning with my coffee, and I always look forward to seeing what’s going on in your worlds.
Thanks Mike. You’re one of those lifetime friends I mentioned in the post
🥰
Though I came late to the club (domaining) you are one of the finest in this field.
You know, body language tells a lot!
Watching you on DomainSherpa have giving me clear idea about who Shane is.
You are a nice guy Shane.
Wish you as I love to myself.
Greeting from Libya.
Such kind words Mohamed. That’s what I love about Sherpa. Michael and Drew ask no more than for you to be yourself, share your experiences, and have some fun. Glad it comes across. Again, thank you
Congrats Shane to you and the crew! Doing this daily for a decade is quite an accomplishment! Here’s to the next 10!
Cheers,
Mike
Thank you Buttercrackers. You’ve been mentioned on Sherpa like 2 or 3 times now 🙂
Thanks for the work you do Shane.
I haven’t been doing this long, but I think you’re great – don’t know why you have all these haters. Also, this is pretty much the only domain blog I check every morning. It used to be for the name ideas (before I got better with expireddomains.net) but now it’s for the commentary (but really, just to see if I missed any names) :B
Thank you Bar. The number of people that disagree with someone are a small percentage but the bigger the voice and the total, the larger in number that small percentage is. When you put your real name and face to your statements the target becomes easier. You just have to learn to not shoot back at the shadows
Congratulations Shane and team! I have enjoyed DSAD for years, I have learned a lot and I have made some purchases through your postings. For what it is worth, Shane, you have also helped out sales in the cereal business. Because you published your wife’s note a few months ago, I went and tried Special K with strawberries. I hadn’t tried it before, but after the note I thought I would give it a go. Not bad, I have been buying the strawberry and honey oat version since. So thanks for that, too!
Ha. Thanks Mark. Ironically that’s what I switched from but I like the bigger flakes 🙂 Sometimes I get more out of reading about people’s personal lifestyle likes and dislikes than the business info they are talking about
10 years…it only feels like 15 🙂
keep up the good work
Ha. That is Ategy. He’s busy being a list hero at Namepros now
Shane, 10 years writing a domain list and a personal little something every day, really is a huge accomplishment. I’ve always wanted to have a well-read domain blog myself but cannot commit the time needed daily. I can do it in spurts, but to have any type of following, consistency is key. 10 years. Wow. You have a great track record (…little double entendre for ya there w/”track record”) and that is amazing to me. Thanks to you, Josh and Travis. You have a pretty badass team. Keep up the great work. Heres to another 10.
Congrats Brother!
Thanks Shane, Travis, Josh, Mike and Aaron & congrats on 10 years of DSAD! Cheers!
