It is generally assumed that operators of websites on non .com domain names will lose some traffic to the .com domain name. Even savvy Internet users can accidentally navigate to a brand matching .com domain name instead of the correct domain name. Depending on how the .com is being used, lost traffic can either be a relatively minor issue to a big problem.

A couple of days ago, Rick Schwartz shared some data involving one of his .com domain names where a non .com TLD is being used by another entity:

“Domain King” Rick Schwartz and Krista Gable will be hosting a Clubhouse room tomorrow, and Rick announced he will be giving domain name appraisals to participants. “Don’t miss your one and only chance to have the Domain King himself publicly valuate your domain live on Clubhouse,” the Clubhouse page says about the session.

I think this will be one of the most popular domain name-related Clubhouse sessions in a long time. The session was announced by Rick last week on Twitter:

The FIRST and LAST time I will ever do LIVE Public #Domain Appraisals!!

Domainers have asked me for decades to appraise their #DomainNames and I always say NO!

So this is the ONLY TIME I am going to say Yes!#Domains #RealEstate https://t.co/dw0n6WkACk

Rick Schwartz recently announced he would open a domain brokerage. He later revealed he would be using Stud.com, a domain name he has owned for many years. Over the past few days, Rick has been sharing more details about how Stud.com will work:

So we are building this business, STUD .com, and we haven’t even done the economics to see if it’s viable.

But what we know is that it’s needed and when it is unveiled you will be PROUD. If we build it right, viability will take care of itself. #BreakEven#Domains #DomainNames

In late June, Rick Schwartz announced his plans to open a domain name brokerage. At that time, I speculated that he might opt to brand the business as Game Changing Domains and use the GameChangingDomains.com domain name he recently hand registered. It looks like I was wrong.

After reading additional commentary from Rick, it appears that he is moving forward with his plans using a domain name he has owned for many years – STUD.com.

Rick has teased a bit about the unique brand name over the past few days. He also announced that he will be talking about the launch of the website later today on Clubhouse with Krista Gable:

This morning on Twitter, Rick Schwartz announced his plans to open a domain name brokerage. Based on some of the hashtags and prior tweets, it would not surprise me if he launched a brand called Game Changing Domains with the matching GameChangingDomains.com domain name:

I will be having a major announcement about a new #DomainBrokerage firm I am opening up VERY SOON!!

It’s gonna be a Game Changer!!

A few days ago, Rick Schwartz announced that he will be opening a room on Clubhouse. Dubbed “Domain King,” Rick’s Clubhouse room will become a place for Rick to share insight about domain names. The Clubhouse room will open in one week from today (Tuesday, June 15):

Just 9 days b4 the Grand Opening of my club on Clubhouse

Currently 614 members. A goal of 1000. So we're well on the way. Thank you!
