If you are like me, you wish you could have been at the TRAFFIC conference in Vegas, but due to other circumstances (final stages of development for me), you couldn’t make it to Vegas. Michael Gilmour was kind enough to make his TRAFFIC presentations available for those of us who couldn’t attend the conference. If you have a chance today, I recommend downloading his presentations from his blog. Michael is a numbers guy and really knows the business well.
I found a few names in tomorrow’s live TRAFFIC auction that I like, but apparently I won’t be able to bid on them online since I have a Mac Book with a Leopard OS. According to the Snapnames website’s online bidding requirements:
“Live Auction Software Requirements
Microsoft Windows operating system
Audio output
Internet Explorer 6.0 (or newer) or Firefox 2.0 (or newer)“
Kind of a bummer, but no big deal I suppose. Guess I should have thought about this earlier!
Thanks to Mike at TheDomains.com for providing the results of yesterday’s auction at TRAFFIC. The Moniker No/Low Reserve Auction is the precursor to Wednesday’s highly anticipated live auction, and it netted $190,000.

I was giving advice to someone today about buying a domain name that is currently generating significant parking revenue. The owner is using a min-site with Adsense to generate this revenue (we’ll say $5,000 annually for the sake of this post), and the potential buyer thinks he could earn much more if he develops it further. The owner’s asking price is steeper than the buyer is willing to spend (let’s say $100,000), but I think the buyer can get creative with his offer in an effort to strike a deal.
In a situation like this, I think a lease-to-own offer would be
I had never had a parked domain name earn more than $15 in a single day – until yesterday! The domain name (parked at Fabulous) only received 4 unique visitors yesterday, but it earned a total of just about $20. It received six clicks to reach that sum, but WOW!
Does anyone else have any stories like this – where a name gets between $1-5/day and all of a sudden it gets $20 for no extraordinary reason?
