DomainFest Domain Name Auction Day 1

3:19 am on 23 January 2008 | No responses

The Domainfest Snapnames.com Live Domain Name Auction Day 1 just finished.

I think it was smart to break the sale into 2 days. But, it might have been smarter to shorten the name list.

I noticed a significant decrease in the crowd after about the first hour and a half.

Surprising sales: MintCoins.com for $15,000;
JobFacts.com for $7,500.

A smart sale: the reserve price on ForexGuides.com was $1.00. It ended up selling for $4,000.

I shot some video of the auction and will post it when I return home.

I also shot an interview between Jonathan Mizel and I on domaining and Moniker.com Vice Presisdent Victor Pitts on Domain Name Valuation and Auction acceptance. I’ll get those posted as soon as I can.

Stay Safe.

3 Common Mistakes Beginning Domainers Make

My experience as a lawyer and educator in the field of domaining (http://www.domainsintodollars.com) has shown me that there are three common mistakes beginning domainers make that sabotage their success in this business:

1. They don’t think about the source of domain name traffic;
2. They don’t take advantage of tasting and testing; and
3. They don’t think through the appreciation profit model.

Let’s explore these mistakes and hopefully prevent you from making them.
