No matter what I do or where I go, I am always paying attention to domain names. When I notice an interesting domain name or domain extension in my “real world,” it always stands out to me.

This morning, I came across a tweet from The Jimmy Fund that promote its JimmyFund.Gives domain name. This marketing tool is being used in coordination with Dana Farber’s fundraising efforts during Childhood Cancer Awareness month:

On Tuesday, I noticed something peculiar on a domain name I have parked at Uniregistry but do not have listed for sale. At some point, I believe, there was a change made that essentially rendered the “not for sale” option useless. Customers not only had to choose that option, but they needed to also select “no” under the sales banner option, or the domain name would still show the sales banner.

DAN / Bodis Partnership Announced

This morning, Bodis made several announcements in an article on its blog. The company announced some domain name management improvements, announced the launch of its new Ads.com subsidiary, and it also announced a new partnership with DAN.com, an advertiser here.

I think the partnership with DAN is going to make an immediate impact for domain investors who use the Bodis parking service. Right now, the choice seems to be to either monetize a domain name with pay per click links with a “for sale” or “inquiry” link on the top of domain name or choose to use a “for sale” or “make offer” landing page in lieu of generating parking revenue. When the DAN and Bodis partnership integration is available, the DAN purchase or offer form is built right into Bodis parked pages.

To get an idea of how this looks, I shared a screenshot below of the live version example found on dan.kfx.com:

In late August, LT.com transferred from Name.com to Namecheap, and the domain name changed registrants as well. LT.com had been registered by Telepathy, the company owned by Nat Cohen. The domain name is now registered under Whois privacy. I reached out to Nat to ask if he can share the sale price, and he deferred to George Hong of Guta, who brokered the sale of LT.com.

This morning, George announced on Twitter that LT.com had been sold for a seven figure price:
