Good read Adam. Lot's of good information regarding what's hot, what's not and what's to come.

 

[A D]

Looking forward to the iPhone app. Is it built for the iOS 5?

 

[Gee]

For me dnforum is the best place for political discussion and for domaining of course

memberships are paid and people do business , so everyone carefully watch his political views lest it affects his business

I receive tons of violent and threat messages in other forums while here they keep silent while reading because those ugly people are afraid to loose their reputation and their customers

There are a few small minds that conduct themselves this way.

My feelings are, So, you want me to change my convictions in order to conduct business with you?

I had been invited to be a guest columnist/blogger by a pretty high profile blogger. The caveat was I had to (on occasion) agree with him.

Needless to say, I never submitted anything to his column.

Adam,

I am very curious what the upcoming changes are that you refer to.

With parking so low, there has got to be some new things in the works? And domainers collectively have a lot of traffic, so that would give some leverage if enough band together.

There ought to be one large, professional domainer organization that could leverage scale to create parking that works ( InternetTraffic.com ? ). Anda domain sales channel that makes sense without artificial/too-frequent auctions, and various levels of development. No one has ever done it, but the need and opportunity are there.

This will be happening very shortly.

Who was it?

 

[Gerry]

Who was it?

Do you seriously want me to mention names here???

Plus, you would know the person.

And, that person would never admit it.

p.s. Plus, you never requested that I agree with you ::

For example, if you want to sell a domain for $1000:
You should list it at $1,000 at Showcasemanager.com because the commission level is 0%.
You should list it at $1,100 at Sedo because the commission is 10%
You should list it at $1,150 at Go Daddy Auctions because the commission is 15%
You should list it with Afternic at $1,200 because the commission is 20%
You should list it on Go Daddy Premium Listings for $1,300 because the commission is 30%

The calculation is slightly different than that:
$1000 at Showcasemanager.com
$1111.11 at sedo. You get $1,000 after %10 commission
$1176.47 at godaddy. You get $1000 after %15 commission
$1250 at afternic. You get $1000 after %20 commission
$1428.57 sale at godaddy premium listing leaves you with $1000 after %30 commission

But you get the idea....

I found your calculation to be 1/1000th of a penny to be off resulting in a net lose of 1/1000 of $0.01 for the seller ($999.999 net).

LOL... it's more fun when people disagree with me... actually, not more fun, but more educational.

Good read, nice to see someone taking the time and doing something rather than just talking about whats not working. Thanks

Good to see new things coming on stream well done

Adam, any hopes a dnforum app will be released for the windows phone environment? WP7 market share is growing quite fast.
