Good Unregistered Names to Be Found

I just found a couple decent names that were unregistered. I was able to register HMOCompanies.com and HMOCompany.com. Although there aren’t a ton of Google listings for these two names, there are advertisers on the top and side of Google. With some decent SEO, these names can possibly produce some valuable clicks.

Moral of the story: There are still good GENERIC domain names to be found out there without having to turn to the aftermarket. Keep on searching. Landing a decent new registration feels almost as good as reeling in a great one-worder in the aftermarket – with less financial risk.

Red Sox Going to the World Series!!

I never doubted they wouldn’t make it. A quote from a post I made in a domain forum on October 17, when the Red Sox were losing the series 3-1 and a friend conceded the ALCS to the Indians:

“You gave up????? I will remember this when Beckett delivers tomorrow, Schilling shows up on Saturday and D-Mat and The Kid John Lester shut them down on Sunday. My only concern is that my parents are throwing Karen and me an engagement party on Sunday and I have a game to watch!!!

LETS GO RED SOX!!!”

Domain Investors “Cowboy Up”

After the TRAFFIC auction ended and the dust settled, Cowboys.com was again for sale in the silent auction. A large group of domain investors from Rick Schwartz’s private Targeted Traffic Forum formed a group and made the winning bid for Cowboys.com. The background story can be found by clicking here.

Live Auction Madness!

Much in part due to the success of live domain auction pioneerMoniker, a number of live auctions are now taking place at domain conferences throughout the world. In the past week, two industry titans (Snapnames and Godaddy) announced that they will be entering the live auction circuit. This should be good news for domain investors who will now have a choice of partner and venue to auction their domain names.

Much like DomainTools’ live auction at Domain Roundtable, technology will play a large role in the auction format, allowing off-site bidders easier access to the auctions. This should allow for more bidders and possibly more transparency in the auction process. Also, the greater competition should also bring down the restrictive commission charges. This is great news for domain investors, as long as live auctions remain competitive.
