Being that I'm actively promoting a dot US name in my sig. line, I wonder who is the dork?

I do not "feel" threatened. That's "cold war" mentality. I just build. That's the 21st bid! There is a "new domain order" :laugh:

Actual value of a name-space will come through development. You'll see it first in the small biz sector, then gradually it will creep into the corporate world. This is how the dot com story played out!

btw: Are you a "minder" for Duke. You seem hell bent on attacking me because of comments I'm try to get through to him.:laugh:

So DNJournal.com is lagging? Interesting since the traffic figures prove just the opposite. Online only 3 months, but the site has already jumped into the top 30,000 websites according to Alexa's ranking for this week. That is among the upper 1% of ALL sites. I hope it keeps lagging like this.

It does not surprise me at all! DNJournal.com has made quite an impact in the domain industry considering the short time it has been up. Not only does it provide entertaining and informative articles to read, but Duke has definately shown that he gots what it takes to make it in this business. Keep up the good work my friend!

Yes you build...but as your stats show....no one comes. Anyone can throw a simple page on the web and have no visitors, so I'm not sure what it is you are taking credit for building.

I was a TV sportscaster on the CBS affiliate in Tampa for many years. When John McKay was the Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach our station did the weekly coach's show. In those days the Bucs were really terrible. In fact they finished the first season 0-16.

On the final coach's show that year, one of our other sportscasters, Andy Hardy, who was the program host, said something that irritated McKay. The coach snapped "Andy you don't know anything about football!" Andy looked at him and cooly replied "Maybe not John, but I believe I could coach the team to an 0-16 record too!"

Congratulations Izopod. You have coached your team to an 0-16 record.

As is readily apparent to everyone (except you of course - but what's new?), Domain Name Journal is not marketed just to the U.S. It is marketed worldwide as the domain community is clearly a worldwide audience. I guess that never dawned on your before.

.US would be completely senseless for a product marketed worldwide as I have said repeatedly (but then you don't read beyond the comic book level, so I'm not surprised you missed this).

When you don't walk the walk, you can't talk the talk

Oh, and if you think this is about Marketing a site in the .US you've stepped off the wrong boat.

Why - of all people - would you say that? You have never accomplished anything. Crap names, crappier sites with zero traffic, yet here you are everyday telling people how it's done. Don't you think maybe you should accomplish something yourself - anything at all, but something - before telling others how it should be done? Just wondering as it seems like common sense to me.

As for the yawning. I'm sure you do a lot of that. Your site vistors (both of them) do too. You don't walk the walk at all, yet you love to talk. You are the classic domain wannabe with insufficient skills to get it done. If you have anything at all to show me that I'm wrong let's see it.

Looks like the ship is about sunk... Certainly you could do better. That would be if you had a leg to stand on given the amount of times you were proven wrong.

btw: I wonder if CustomComputers.us (which is in your sig line) will ever do business outside the US. Given your analogy (previously)---he shouldn't have gotten the US. fyi: It does appear he DOES business outside the US... :laugh:

Oh yes...please give us the benefit of your marketing expertise too! How on earth did you manage to rocket protection.biz and canoe.biz completely off the charts (albeit in the wrong direction!)?

Where can I sign up for SignatureMarketing? You are clearly a guy who knows how to get things done! ATY.COM is only in the top 15,000 sites this week. I am dying to learn how I can quickly push our site outside the top 3.5 million as you have done. Please share your marketing secrets!

Actually please share the secret of why anyone at all would pay the least bit of attention to anything you have to say about either domain names or marketing?

Izopod - the DNF Village Idiot. CustomComputers is an affiliate site. The drop shipper does not ship outside the U.S. , so US is perfect...but you will never understand that or any other facet of this business. Do I do business outside the US? Absolutely - a lot of it - especially through MusicParadise.com.


My question to you remains unanswered? Where do you do business? ANY business at all? You asked in another thread if you should make Algebra.us a non-profit site. That's a rhetorical question. ALL of your sites are non-profit sites, even the ones that aren't supposed to be.

It's clear you have no answers to my question. What have you accomplished? Where are your successful sites? Please don't tell me you are just another BLOWHARD with no track record of success whatsoever? Just throw me a bone....anything at all....to let me see why you are an authority on this business.

right here... I'm still in beta testing.

I tell you what. If you put your money where your mouth usually is, and happen to buy Dnjournal.us I will promote it in my sig line.

Open offer...

Why would I want to buy a domain only to have you apply your "marketing magic" to it and send it into oblivion along with your own ghost town sites? If you know how to market ANYTHING, seems like the logical thing to do would be to start with your own sites instead of everyone else's. Common sense does not appear to be your strong suit.

With respect to someone's mouth - you continue to chatter a lot about how success is achieved in this business, but you have yet to show anyone EVEN ONE successful site or significant domain sale. There seems to be a fundamental disconnect here? How do you explain it?

 

[Duke]

Wait a minute! Stop the presses. I am giving Pod's offer a second thought.

------

OK. Thought about it. Now, you're saying if I reg DNJournal.US you will put it in your sig line? Are we talking about a hot link here? (You get two you know). And how long are you willing to leave it there? It would redirect to the current .com (and perhaps later I could do something else with it that I just got an idea for). Is that what we are talking about here?

Do it!!!

You will get (1) week from the date of submission. The only requirement would be that you not "redirect" Dnjournal.us towards porn once it is up. Any such violation would be met with a lawsuit. Also you would just need to have a way to track the "hits" on your end.

I'm glad you came to your senses!

Congratulations Izopod. You have coached your team to an 0-16 record.

:laugh: Great Story Duke,

Seems I have heard that somewhere else.. I have been a Packers fan since the 60's and even when the Pack went through their decade of pain..at least we could count on a win or 2 each year with TB...

I never understood kept T Dilfert so long, He was horrible in the mid 1990's. Mr Interception...
