Victor Pitts Leaves Moniker For New Adventure

March 18th, 2010 Posted in General Domain News | 4 Comments »

Victor Pitts is no longer VP at Moniker.  They parted ways amicably, but we’ll miss him there.

Here’s a news release on our friend Victor’s new adventure:

Domain industry veteran Victor Pitts named as Vice President at DomainIt.com a growth-oriented domain Registrar and hosting company to target the competition with new services and advanced capabilities –

Cincinnati, OH (March 17, 2010) – Domain registration and hosting company DomainIt.com today announced the appointment of Victor Pitts as the firm’s Vice President. In his new role, Pitts will be responsible for growing market share and profits for DomainIt’s core domain registration business, as well as evaluating and overseeing new business ventures for the company. Pitts is well known in the domain industry as the former Vice President for Moniker, a division of Oversee.net.

Over the past few months, DomainIt has been gearing up to become more competitive in the marketplace and provide the kinds of services and support the industry demands. “We think there are some significant opportunities being overlooked in the current business climate,” said Paul Goldstone, CEO and Founder of DomainIt. “Bringing Victor on board was an opportunity we couldn’t pass up. He will be working on some exciting new business ventures, where his leadership experience and industry connections can benefit DomainIt tremendously. We fully expect him to hit the ground running.”

Originally founded in 1996, DomainIt is an ICANN-accredited domain registration and hosting company, providing the essential services required to run a business online. The DomainIt team boasts strong programming capabilities and the company is known for providing an extremely user-friendly interface and competitive pricing that’s up to 74% lower than the marketplace, making it a favorite resource among domainers and small business owners alike. The pioneering company developed the first ever domain search interface to determine if a particular domain is available for registration.

Before joining DomainIt, Pitts worked for Moniker.com, where domain registrations grew from 200,000 to 3 million during his tenure. Prior to joining Moniker, Pitts ran Nexlook Designs, his own web hosting and development company, and also had a successful career as a national sales executive with Motorola. “In addition to helping grow core services, I’ll be working to better understand and harness some of DomainIt’s impressive intellectual property to better serve clients,” explained Pitts. “This company has a strong foundation of providing quality services for nearly 15 years, and Paul’s vision of the future is ambitious. Together, we have an excellent opportunity to grow the business by providing better services for both domain investors and business owners.”

Goldstone no stranger to smart domain moves

Goldstone’s renewed focus on growing the services available to experienced domainers is expected to attract new interest from the close-knit domain industry. As a domain investor with more than 1,000 names in his portfolio, Goldstone knows what a professional domain investor is looking for in a Registrar. In addition to running DomainIt, he also operates DomainSearch.com and the popular domain industry directory, iGoldrush.com. In addition, Goldstone works to maintain strong relationships within the international Registrar community as a member of the ICANN Registrar Stakeholder Group, where he designs and maintains the official ICANN website for the group.

Symbolic start to new business venture

TESTING A NEW TECHNOLOGY DOMAIN WITH A DOMAINER’S BRAIN

March 9th, 2010 Posted in General Domain News | 2 Comments »

Thanks for checking out the site — it should be an interesting sales pitch.

A lot of you know that I have been buying future trend domain names for six years. An associate of mine brought up a question last night that I thought was interesting. “Do other domainers know the value of future trend domains or even what they are?”

I told him yes, because I’ve bought quite a few from domainers and seen a  lot of domains I wanted that were already registered. But what he wanted to know was whether domainers would be potential future buyers of the domains, because of these domains’ sometimes complex generic meaning (what the heck is that?) ;-)

So he said throw out a good domain for  a very cheap reserve, and see if anyone would bid on it, highest bid wins by Friday this week (3/12/2010)

Ehhh… but I do market testing all the time offering up domains that someone either buys or doesn’t. I put some very valuable domains at low prices to see if people can pick them out from a group. Most of the times they don’t, but enough of the times, to my muted dismay, they do. (PerfectSpanish.com, EstateLawPartner.com, NewJerseyAttorney.org, and a few others).

Anyway, here’s the domain I’m putting up for the “smart nerd” auction I’m holding.  Who can understand the value?

Rules: RESERVE is $200. Highest bid over Reserve by 3/12/10 midnite pst wins the domain.

3DTVAmerica.com

okay, here’s another one for the same Reserve:]

(UPTDATE- DOMAIN CORRECTION BELOW -  3/9/10)

RechargeLocation.com

I know that both these domains will be worth over $10,000 in 2 years, or I’ll buy them back from you.  For now, that’s only $200 Reserve, or what the highest bid is.

Cheap start for a potential mint urly. Which domainer can call themselves a smart nerd domainer?  Like me!

;-)

WHICH IS BETTER? 300 NEW REGS OR A $2500 AFTERMARKET DOMAIN?

March 1st, 2010 Posted in General Domain News | 8 Comments »

(This blog article is entirely inspired by my friend Elliot Silver’s blog article)

Elliot Silver, who I respect in the highest regard, stated on one of his recent blog articles: 

“I would much rather own one good name that I bought for $2,500 than 300 newly registered names. If you don’t end up selling them, you’re just going to double your carrying costs the next year.”

I had a different viewpoint that was too long to voice in a comment on El’s site, so I wrote this blog article answering his comment. Let me present these two different scenarios of what would happen if an experienced domain investor bought 300 OOTB (Out Of The Basket – meaning “new registrations”) domains compared to spending the same amount ($2500) on one premium domain.

If you have the stomach for details, read below:

1) I am already guessing that you’re an experienced domainer. If you buy 300 OOTB’s, I assume you’ve done your homework and these domains are already giving you the hand-jive, or you wouldn’t have registered them. (New domain investors and their domain buying obsessions don’t apply to the following)

2) Now you have 300 OOTB’s, which your experience has told you, “I won’t buy a domain like a noobie, these aren’t all .biz domains, they’re all .coms or one word high trend noun ccTLD’s”.  You know that at least some of these 300 domains have some value at a profitable resell level, (or you realize you bought them on a drunken domain raid and all bets are off.)

3) You want to test out your new purchases, and set up 50 of them to sell cheap quick. You sell 25 domains quickly for only $100 and get your investment back. That leaves you with 275 other domains to play with.  You find that you have a great eye for domains, and you’ve done your research like a bio-physics student at Stanford.  If you scored with a domain that was just waiting to mature or hit the consumer trend index, that would become apparent within a year or so. Now you have a domain in your remaining list that is worth maybe $2500. You sell that domain name and you’ve doubled your investment now, leaving you with 274 domains to play with.

4) The following year, you do a followup on SE analysis for search and page results from quoted queries on each domain as they come up for renewal. You consider if they need to mature, or whether you were not thinking when you registered it. Let it drop, big deal. Let’s say you let 20% of your domains to drop, leaving you with about 220 domains.

5) You invest another $1700 to renew those domains.

6) The next year, you discover that another one of your domains is hot, and someone gives you $1600 for the domain. You’ve just covered your renewal fees for 224 domains. Now you’re looking at your list of 220 domains a lot closer, because you’re seeing why YOU BOUGHT THEM OOTB IN THE FIRST PLACE!

7) You watch the progress of the domains while parked at a PPC or at WhyPark to check OST or TI traffic… and you discover that either one or both are making some rev for you, and you’re getting a few purchase enquiries a week. You sell a few for $250 each on average.

WHYPARK AGAIN, YES AGAIN, PUSHES MY DOMAIN TO THE FRONT!

February 27th, 2010 Posted in General Domain News | 13 Comments »

Okay, I’ve seen the lying, manipulative comments by the hundreds on the various blogs, from webmasters to a few domainers. I continually ignored most of them… but no more.

I’m sick of reading “new” comments and blog articles based on those old posts about WhyPark users (from 2007) claiming to be using Whypark and getting “blacklisted” on Google.

THE MEAT: I haven’t had one of my 220+ WhyPark.com domains blacklisted on Google since I moved them to Whypark in 2008. So keeping with my same program of adding domains to WhyPark, I wrote one original piece on my domain PRODUCEINDUSTRY.COM™, which discussed a movie “Food, Inc.” as a film that revealed some disturbing information about the food we eat. The article was only about 250 words or less, and it took me about 5 minutes to write it. (I write in a “flow of consciousness” style – meaning that I write what I remember as it pours out of my head. This is an easy way of writing, for all you domainers.)

SO WHAT’S THE BIG NEWS? Here it is:

If you search on YAHOO for the phrase “PRODUCE INDUSTRY” in quotes, which are the two relevant keywords of my domain, you will see my website as #1. Yes, that’s right. Granted, that could change, and I won’t whine about it, because I have 3500 other domains I own that I’m monetizing. But this GOLD MEDAL (yeah, it’s a cheap connection to the Winter Olympics, sorry!) has to go to WhyPark because this site, which only made money when parked and some e-coli scare came up, is now getting good traffic continually, and I’m seeing that it is based on OST.  This is showing me that my domains I’m building out quickly and easily at WhyPark are WORKING for me. They ARE getting indexed by SE’s, and they are showing up as real sites.

If that changes, I’ll add another new custom page, and wait until it moves its way to the top again.

BEST OF ALL: (and this is important for all big domain portfolio holders) I don’t have my longtail domains stuck in a PPC landing page that most SE’s ignore. One way or another, having my sites built out on WhyPark give them credibility, potential SE indexing, and a useful site for users to land on after typing in the domain, or finding it through organic search on a search engine (Organic Search Traffic – OST).

I had to share this news with you because I surprised myself by accident, searching up this domain on Yahoo.  If you have 100 domains parked somewhere, and you’re tired of seeing zero traffic, zero income, and no SE indexing on those domains, then bring them over to WhyPark and just wait 90 days to surprise yourself, but that surprise is more of an expectation for me. I can only say, I “expect” you to have those same “expectations” for domain monetization success that I have with WhyPark. GO FOR IT!

MY DOMAINS ARE PREMIUMS, SO WHY DO I SELL THEM CHEAP?

February 23rd, 2010 Posted in Aftermarket, General Domain News | 8 Comments »

I own a lot of great domains. I bought portfolios over the years because they were sold cheap, and I resold pieces of these portfolios for as much as I paid for the whole portfolios. Every domainer should be so lucky! I usually sell these quickly through Snapnames, Sedo, and Afternic. However, I’m no longer going to resist the power of the readership I get at my blog so why not keep all the sales profits? ;-)

Many domainers know I’m mainly focused on new technology niches. This give me the opportunity to sell about 1200 generic domains I’ve owned for many years, and have been selling them successfully as cherry picks in the last two years.  I find some excuse to sell them when I want, and for this batch, I’m calling it “Pre-Spring Specials”. I know, it sounds like you’re buying clothing from a catalog, but it’s all good.

Straight up, I’m selling these domains for $99 – $199 each just to blow your mind.  I invite comments on my domains, and hope you see something in the below list that gives you a “what! Nice name for cheap!” type of feeling.

I accept Paypal only payments to my Verified Paypal account. You can reach me at Successclick -*at-* gmail.com (of course the “*at*” is meant to be the symbol @.  You can also post here any domain name with “SOLD” to secure it for yourself.

Here’s the list of domains and prices:

AntiLockBrakeSystem.com – $199

SaltwaterPump.com – $199 (hint hint!)

PodDJ.com – $99

TireLight.com – $199

BloodPressureProducts.com – $99  – SOLD

LyricExpert.com – $99

RankMyBeauty.com – $99
