For those domainers monetizing domain names via blogs, this service is truly a great way to monetize. It virtually makes any blog you have more valuable by giving you the ability to add reviews to your website and since we run a blog, we are very pleased to hear about this new revolutionary service, that is ultimately making blogs around the world more valuable than ever before.<br /><br />The way ReviewMe works is, they get advertisers that are interested in having their product and/or service reviewed by bloggers in exchange for a fee. ReviewMe then posts the information in their database and any blogger can come along and conduct a review and be fully compensated for it. ReviewMe even has a built-in algorithm, which calculates your blog’s Alexa, RSS and Technorati data to adjust the amount of compensation allotted per review.<br /><br />We really like this new service and are very excited about some of the opportunities it will lend to those monetizing with blogs. We are using this service ourselves and are nothing but pleased with it so far. In fact, we just signed up moments ago and are already slated to be paid for this review of ReviewMe! Talk about a great deal and you can do the same if you act fast. They are giving away $25,000 to the first bloggers to act on this tremendous offer.<br /><br />To sign-up head over to ReviewMe.com.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.domainingblog.com">Domaining Blog™</a><br /><a href="http://www.domainingblog.com">"Make The Most Of Domains™"</a><br /><a href="http://www.DomainingBlog.com">DomainingBlog.com™</a><br /><a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/nd.html"><br />TURN DOMAINS INTO CA$H NOW!</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/expireddomains.html">Expired Domains</a> - <a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/enomdomaingrabber.html">Expired Domain Tool</a> - <a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/droplistscript.html">Drop Catching Tool</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/domaincash.html">Instant Domain Cash</a> - <a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/drt.html">The Domaining Tool</a> - <a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/domainauction.html">Domain Bargains</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/domain_name_interviews_01.htm">DOMAINING INTERVIEWS</a> - <a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/domain_name_reports_01.htm">SPECIAL EDITION REPORTS</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/drt.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://domainingblog.com/db_DRT_360_01.gif" border="0"></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

East conference and expo, we thought that it would be more than appropriate to get in contact with the people behind the extension that has everybody talking right now. We managed to secure a Q&A with Pinky Brand, Director of New Markets for the dotMobi extension, and he had a lot of great information to share.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Here is what Pinky Brand, of dotMobi, had to say:</span><br /><br /><blockquote><span style="font-weight:bold;">Q: db –</span> What is your full name and where are you from and what did you do prior to getting involved in the domaining industry?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">A: PB –</span> Hi, my full name is Pinkard Alan Brand. Everyone calls me “Pinky.” I am the Director, New Markets for dotMobi (mTLD Top Level Domain Ltd) You can obtain a full background of my domain name industry experience by visiting my personal web page at www.pinkybrand.com . I’ve owned and operated two corporate domain name registrars, one sold to Network Solutions in 1998 (idNames) and the other (Arcemus) to Iron Mountain in 2004. I would describe myself as a “serial entrepreneur” prior to be being involved in the domain industry in 1996. I had invested in and operated several businesses in various industries including such advertising, marketing and restaurant retailing before starting up idNames with Marc Ostrofsky in 1996. My original background is in the television news industry as a photographer, editor, producer, reporter and then involved in TV advertising sales and traffic management.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Q: db –</span> What inspired you to get involved in the domaining industry, more so get involved with the creation of an all-new domain name extension?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">A: PB –</span> I have been impressed by the undeniable trends toward mobile computing and browsing and had contacted Neil Edwards (the CEO of dotMobi) earlier this year. Neil and I had worked together at Network Solutions during the early days of .com as well as at VeriSign. The mTLD investors’ and Neil’s vision for the mobile Internet and dotMobi along with the sensibility and creativity the truly global-thinking staff brought to the table were big pluses in my book. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Q: db –</span> When did you originally come up with the concept for .mobi and how much effort went into to bringing it to a reality?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">A: PB -</span> I did not come up with the concept. The original concept for dotMobi was developed by its sponsors (hence we are a sponsored top-level domain). Our investors include Ericsson, Google, GSM Association, Hutchison, Microsoft, Nokia, Orascom Telecom, Samsung Electronics, Syniverse, T-Mobile, Telefónica Móviles, TIM and Vodafone.<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />Q: db –</span> .mobi is the world’s first mTLD. Can you tell us more about what an mTLD is?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">A: PB -</span> .mobi is the first and only top level domain dedicated to delivering Internet content to mobile phones. Built on the open standards developed as part of the Worldwide Web Consortium's Mobile Web Initiative, the .mobi domain makes accessing Internet sites on a mobile device faster, less expensive and more reliable by offering content tailored for the mobile Internet. This all means that the .mobi domain increases the profile and the reach of any company, organization or individual who wants to get business, visibility or traffic from the Internet.<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.DomainingBlog.com/images/db-QNA-dot-mobi-mobile-emulator-01.jpg" width="360" height="500"><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Q: db –</span> Can you tell us more about .mobi? What registrars carry the .mobi extension and what exactly are the fees and rules associated with registering a .mobi domain name?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">A: PB –</span> We have 118 registrars in Europe, Asia and America. Fees vary by registrar. Most are competitive and want to help content-providers reach users on the mobile Internet. Several have developed tools that allow registrants to create mobile friendly and dotMobi compliant web pages that work on all mobile phones in any country---and many more are planning to introduce the same so I believe things will continue to stay rather competitive on the pricing end. A list of registrants with links to their pricing and services can be found on our web site at www.mtld.mobi . <br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Q: db –</span> There were multiple land rush periods prior to .mobi’s official worldwide launch. How did everything go? Was it all as smoothly as planned?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">A: PB –</span> I’m not sure what you meant by multiple land rushes as we conducted only one land rush. We did have a trademark sunrise period and limited industry sunrise period prior to our land rush. From what I heard, the land rush launch went very well for us and our registrars. Individuals and businesses in more than 100 countries around the world registered more than 100,000 .mobi domains in the first four days, demonstrating a strong demand for the next evolution of the Internet. In contrast, it took ten years for the general public to register 100,000 PC-based domain names in the early days of the Internet.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Q: db –</span> A lot of premium .mobi domain names were auctioned off recently. Some fetched as much as five-figures. Were you surprised by this or was this excepted?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">A: PB –</span> We have been monitoring some of the early after-market sales from land rush and general registration. There is no surprise to me that the market is catching on to the dotMobi message. We noticed four names in Top 20 sales for week ending October 15th according to the Domain Name Journal. They were: <br /><br /> mortgages.mobi $10,500<br /> freeringtones.mobi $ 9,100<br /> call.mobi $ 8,200<br /> mybank.mobi $ 7,110<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Q: db –</span> Many of the best single word generic .mobi domain names were reserved for a private auction at the recent T.R.A.F.F.I.C. event. Can you say which domains were sold and how much they were auctioned off for?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">A: PB –</span> We attended the TRAFFIC East Conference in Miami last week and offered nine names from our Premium List during the live auction. All of them were sold for the following prices:<br /><br />flowers .mobi $200,000 <br />fun.mobi $100,000 <br />hot.mobi $40,000 <br />stockquotes.mobi $27,000 <br />party.mobi $13,000 <br />wow.mobi $9,000 <br />gossip.mobi $5,000 <br />laugh.mobi $3,000 <br />celebs.mobi $2,250<br /><br />As a result it appears that dotMobi will have two entries in the top 20 domain sales for 2006. The results also indicate that the market believes in the mobile Internet and is bullish on our approach to improving the mobile browsing experience and eventual traffic that flows from such an improved experience.<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.DomainingBlog.com/images/db-QNA-dot-mobi-pda-phone-01 copy.jpg" width="360" height="250"><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Q: db –</span> How may .mobi domain names have been registered up until this point and how many do you predict will be registered come 2008?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">A: PB - </span>We have registered over 200,000 names and look to have 1 million registrations within the next 12 months. More .mobi web sites are coming online every day from a wide variety of content providers. Examples include:<br /><br />Bmw.mobi<br />Kicker.mobi<br />Businessweekonline.mobi<br />Neckermann.mobi<br />Live.mobi<br />Utexas.mobi<br />Thalys.mobi<br />Flirtbox.mobi<br />Bestswimsuits.mobi <br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Q: db –</span> What does the future have in store for the .mobi extension?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">A: PB -</span> We want to work with enterprising organizations and individuals who register new names or acquire premium names to help them generate relevant content to mobile Internet users. To that end on November 6th we will launch a Developer Forum that will assist in fueling further mobile Internet content development.<br /><br />Also, on November 6th we expect to announce the release of several Premium Names to be allocated via a request for proposal (RFP) process. We will disclose the actual RFP process for those select names on that date as well. <br /><br />In 2007 we expect to release additional names via various auction processes and additional RFPs, so stay tuned to our site at www.mtld.mobi for further details and to download the entire list of Premium Names.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Q: db –</span> Are there any tips you can give to domainers looking to make the most of their .mobi domain names?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">A: PB –</span> I can’t say it enough. Develop content. The mobile Internet sorely lacks it at the moment. dotMobi and our investors are working hard to make sure that consumers, mobile operators and content providers are aware of our value proposition. Domainers who are first on the block with content have a much better shot at attaining success in the rapidly growing mobile world vs. those that just sit back and do nothing. Think where .com was ten years ago. I believe it won’t take nearly as long for .mobi to have an impact. <br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Q: db –</span> Do you have any additional domain name extensions or projects in the works the domaining community should be on the lookout for in the anytime in the future?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">A: PB –</span> There are no immediate plans to apply for or develop other TLD domain extensions per se as it relates to dotMobi. However we will continue to roll out developer tools, education and certification services for mobile content and messaging. I also suggest that any serious domainer that wants to have an impact on the mobile world to look at possibly joining the dotmobi Advisory Group (MAG). It is the "eyes and ears” of mTLD. Through the MAG, mTLD can reach out to the mobile Internet consumer, keep in touch with trends and understand, assess and prioritise the needs of the entire community. In turn, the MAG gives its members the opportunity to shape the future of the mobile Internet.

For this reason Vint Cerf, chairman of ICANN and Google’s VP, is attempting to put together a solution and accommodate the world with a multi-lingual Internet before further separation happens similar to China going off and creating their own DNS.<br /><br />Vint wants to satisfy the world’s needs but also believes it is going to be a tremendous technical challenge without interfering with the current domain names and domain name system. Cerf said, "A miss-step could easily and permanently break the Internet into non-interoperable components."<br /><br />At this time, ICANN is currently testing the introduction of the new scripts into the domain name system. At any moment the Internet could suddenly be broken permanently. <br /><br /><a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/6099370.stm">CLICK HERE</a> for an article by BBC.co.uk about just this very topic.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/drt.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://domainingblog.com/db_DRT_360_01.gif" border="0"></a><br /><br />Source:(<a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/6099370.stm">BBC.co.uk</a>)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.domainingblog.com">Domaining Blog™</a><br /><a href="http://www.domainingblog.com">"Make The Most Of Domains™"</a><br /><a href="http://www.DomainingBlog.com">DomainingBlog.com™</a><br /><a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/nd.html"><br />TURN DOMAINS INTO CA$H NOW!</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/expireddomains.html">Expired Domains</a> - <a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/enomdomaingrabber.html">Expired Domain Tool</a> - <a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/droplistscript.html">Drop Catching Tool</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/domain_name_interviews_01.htm">DOMAINING INTERVIEWS</a> - <a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/domain_name_reports_01.htm">SPECIAL EDITION REPORTS</a><br /><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

Building an internet portal for the gay community has always been one of our biggest goals,” said Julius Dreyer. “We are confident that we will be able to introduce an entertaining and informative website in the near future; one that will meet the needs of the gay community.”<br /><br />At Sedo, high value domain sales are negotiated regularly. This year alone, bike.com and blue.com were each sold for $500,000 (US) over Sedo. The highest sales record for any domain also occurred in 2006, when sex.com sold for $14 million (US).<br /><br /><a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/sp.html">CLICK HERE</a> and join Sedo today and get in on all the domaining action!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/drt.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://domainingblog.com/db_DRT_360_01.gif" border="0"></a><br /><br />Source:(<a href="http://www.prleap.com">PRLeap.com</a>)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.domainingblog.com">Domaining Blog™</a><br /><a href="http://www.domainingblog.com">"Make The Most Of Domains™"</a><br /><a href="http://www.DomainingBlog.com">DomainingBlog.com™</a><br /><a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/nd.html"><br />TURN DOMAINS INTO CA$H NOW!</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/expireddomains.html">Expired Domains</a> - <a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/enomdomaingrabber.html">Expired Domain Tool</a> - <a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/droplistscript.html">Drop Catching Tool</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/domain_name_interviews_01.htm">DOMAINING INTERVIEWS</a> - <a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/domain_name_reports_01.htm">SPECIAL EDITION REPORTS</a><br /><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

For those that aren't aware, juegos translates to "games" from Spanish to English. If you have done your due diligence then you will see why it commanded as much as it did to make it not only the second highest reported domain name sale of the year but of all-time. <br /><br />Only Sex.com has been reported to have been sold for more, which sold earlier this year for an estimated $12-$14 million. This sale will, however, top the <a href="http://www.dnjournal.com/ytd-sales-charts.htm" "rel=nofollow">DNJournal sales chart</a> for the year because the finite details of the Sex.com sale were never really officially disclosed. Might we also add this is the highest reported Spanish keyword domain of all-time. While Christian may reign from the poor third-world country of Paraguay, he reigns supreme on the net.<br /><br />If you don't know who Christian Chena is by now, you should. He holds many of the world's best Spanish keyword domains including but not limited to; Animacion.com, Cocina.com, Dominio.com, Fotos.com, Horoscopo.com, Mensajes.com, Nutricion.com, Peliculas.com, Publicidad.com, Sitios.com and Viajes.com. It appears that many of Christian's prized domain names are currently being forwarded to parking pages. Usually these domain names are in a fully developed state. The only thing that we can think of that would explain such an instance is a possible large scale buyout of many of Christian's premiere names but this is only speculation at this point.<br /><br />We would like to take this moment to congratulate Christian on this truly monumental feat. It is not everyday that the all-time reported and fully disclosed domain name sale of all-time occurs. Yet, another one in the record books for the young phenom.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/2006/02/qa-with-one-of-worlds-most-prolific.html">CLICK HERE</a> to read our Q&A with Christian Chena.<br /><br /><a href="http://dnjournal.com/columns/cover070405.htm">CLICK HERE</a> to read his cover story with DNJournal.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.ChrisChena.com">CLICK HERE</a> to visit Christian's blog, ChrisChena.com.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.Chena.com">CLICK HERE</a> to visit Christian's company website, Chena.com.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.domainstate.com/showthread.php3?s=&threadid=69653&perpage=15&pagenumber=1" "rel=nofollow">CLICK HERE</a> to read a thread at DomainState about the sale.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/drt.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://domainingblog.com/db_DRT_360_01.gif" border="0"></a><br /><br />Source:(<a href="http://www.chrischena.com">ChrisChena.com</a>)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.domainingblog.com">Domaining Blog™</a><br /><a href="http://www.domainingblog.com">"Make The Most Of Domains™"</a><br /><a href="http://www.DomainingBlog.com">DomainingBlog.com™</a><br /><a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/nd.html"><br />TURN DOMAINS INTO CA$H NOW!</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/expireddomains.html">Expired Domains</a> - <a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/enomdomaingrabber.html">Expired Domain Tool</a> - <a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/droplistscript.html">Drop Catching Tool</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/domain_name_interviews_01.htm">DOMAINING INTERVIEWS</a> - <a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/domain_name_reports_01.htm">SPECIAL EDITION REPORTS</a><br /><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

That is a considerable amount of money for such a new extension. Nothing like this has ever happened in <a href="http://www.domainingblog.com">domaining</a> history. Obviously, it is sign of many good things to come for dotMobi and other domain name extension releases to come. That is what an auction environment can do to the price that somebody is actually willing to pay for a domain.<br /><br />Other dotMobi domains auctioned off at T.R.A.F.F.I.C. include:<br /><br />Fun.mobi - $100,000 <br />Hot.mobi - $40,000 <br />StockQuotes.mobi - $27,000 <br />Party.mobi - $13,000 <br />Wow.mobi - $9,000 <br />Gossip.mobi - $5,000 <br />Laugh.mobi - $3,000 <br />Celebs.mobi - $2,250<br /><br />Be on the lookout for our Q&A with Pinky Brand, of dotMobi, in the next couple of days. The Q&A is about 90% complete at present, so it will not be too much longer. dotMobi is a great new extension as you can tell by the early sale of Flowers.mobi. There is a lot more substance behind dotMobi than ordinary extensions. dotMobi is the world's first mTLD and Pinky Brand will be educating us on this further in the Q&A.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/drt.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://domainingblog.com/db_DRT_360_01.gif" border="0"></a><br /><br />Source:(<a href="http://www.PinkyBrand.com">Pinky Brand</a>)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.domainingblog.com">Domaining Blog™</a><br /><a href="http://www.domainingblog.com">"Make The Most Of Domains™"</a><br /><a href="http://www.DomainingBlog.com">DomainingBlog.com™</a><br /><a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/nd.html"><br />TURN DOMAINS INTO CA$H NOW!</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/expireddomains.html">Expired Domains</a> - <a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/enomdomaingrabber.html">Expired Domain Tool</a> - <a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/droplistscript.html">Drop Catching Tool</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/domain_name_interviews_01.htm">DOMAINING INTERVIEWS</a> - <a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/domain_name_reports_01.htm">SPECIAL EDITION REPORTS</a><br /><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

This is the first time in history that T.R.A.F.F.I.C. has allowed individuals to bid on their auctions while not actually in attendance. This should only result in more sales at even higher prices, which may bring even more mainstream attention to the event itself. At the last T.R.A.F.F.I.C. conference over 2 million dollars worth of domains were auctioned off. They are expecting a lot more sales this time around.<br /><br />Take at look at some of the domains at Moniker's new MarketplacePro.com:<br /><br /><a href="http://marketplacepro.moniker.com/auction/index.html">http://marketplacepro.moniker.com/auction/index.html</a><br /><br />To get in on the bidding contact Monte Cahn, Founder/CEO of Moniker.com and TrafficClub.com at Monte--at--Moniker .com or 954-984-8445.<br /><br />You can also get more information at this thread at <a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/dnf.html">DNForum</a>:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.dnforum.com/showthread.php?p=979468#post979468">http://www.dnforum.com/showthread.php?p=979468#post979468</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/domaincash.html">Instant Domain Cash</a> - <a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/drt.html">The Domaining Tool</a> - <a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/domainauction.html">Domain Bargains</a><br /><br />Source: (<a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/moniker.html">Moniker</a>, <a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/dnf.html">DNF</a>)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.domainingblog.com">Domaining Blog™</a><br /><a href="http://www.domainingblog.com">"Make The Most Of Domains™"</a><br /><a href="http://www.DomainingBlog.com">DomainingBlog.com™</a><br /><a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/nd.html"><br />TURN DOMAINS INTO CA$H NOW!</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/expireddomains.html">Expired Domains</a> - <a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/enomdomaingrabber.html">Expired Domain Tool</a> - <a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/droplistscript.html">Drop Catching Tool</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/domain_name_interviews_01.htm">DOMAINING INTERVIEWS</a> - <a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/domain_name_reports_01.htm">SPECIAL EDITION REPORTS</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/domaincash.html">Instant Domain Cash</a> - <a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/drt.html">The Domaining Tool</a> - <a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/domainauction.html">Domain Bargains</a></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

Our technology will determine when and how often to use these new landers to maximize your revenue.<br /><br />We are positive you will see a meaningful increase in revenue from your portfolio over the next few weeks.

That is more than half of the world’s entire population. The entire European Union doesn’t even have a population of 1 billion, yet millions of .EU domains were registered during the initial land rush. With over four times as many people than the EU, there is most certainly a market for the .Asia extension.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">1.</span> The Asian economy is sweltering and it is almost a certainty that China and India will be economic superpowers sometime in the very near future. Buy now, hold and sell after the number of successful businesses in Asia doubles, triples and even quadruples before you know it.

This tool is based on the idea of web 2.0 and checks domain availability as the user types.</span><br /><br />(PRWEB) October 23, 2006 -- Web 2.0 is described as the evolution of the Internet. It is the idea of second generation Internet services using technology which was previously unavailable. One part of Web 2.0 is known as Ajax, the technology which allows a site to run smoothly and interrupted similar to an operating system based program. "PCNames uses Ajax technology to automatically suggest domain names as the user is typing into the search box… think Google Suggest for Domains" SearchEngineJournal.<br /><br />Despite the popularity of the Ajax Lookup, it is the Word Search (www.pcnames.com/search/) which gets so many visitors coming back day after day. This tool accepts up to eight keywords as input to be searched across 100's of millions of domain names. PCNames (www.pcames.com) has just completed an upgrade to their ranking algorithm for this search. This is the application which allows PCNames to show the very best domains first. It now does a better job of scoring domain names especially those containing industry specific terms. PCNames does a complete update of their entire database each morning and periodic re-verifications throughout the day to ensure greater accuracy. To help users view the domains which have just become available, today’s date can be selected from the date added box. These are the names that are known to the industry as deleted domains.<br /><br />PCNames has just added a sixth domain tool to their site for bulk lookup (www.pcnames.com/bulk/). With this new tool a user can paste in an unlimited number of domains into a search box to be checked for availability. This is valuable to those who have a large number of possible ideas for their site name. Instead of typing in one after one the entire list can be inserted into the search box. Each name is checked for availability in .com, .net, .org, .info, .biz, and us and shown instantly. This is obtained by tracking a database of all registered domains which PCNames uses for their search tools.<br /><br />This free domain search engine can be found at (http://www.pcnames.com).

Sedo’s new online auction system will run parallel to the company’s traditional direct negotiation model, but is designed specifically to maximize sales value for high-value premium domain names.<br /><br />Sedo’s first online auctions will begin on October 23. <br /><br />Sedo’s auction service responds to the surge of businesses and professional investors purchasing millions of dollars of premium domains each year. Via Sedo’s seven day online auction period, domain names will be exposed to a global community of nearly 400,000 buyers who collectively spent over $25 million purchasing domain names through Sedo’s marketplace in the past year. Although most listings are no-reserve auctions, owners of premium domains can hedge their risk by setting a reserve price in consultation with an expert Sedo broker.<br /><br />A pilot run of the auction system for the domain name Blue.com in March led to a final sales price of $500,000, one of the highest domain sales of the year. “Sedo’s auction model generates maximum return for premium domain owners by pairing active marketing of the domain name to large corporations, domain investors, and other potential buyers with a transparent, trusted, and universally accessible online platform,” said Christian Kalled, director of domain brokerage at Sedo. <br /><br />Premium domain owners can further maximize profits by taking advantage of Sedo’s introductory low commission rate of three percent, which includes marketing, auctioning, and secure escrow transfer of the domain name. More information on Sedo’s auction service and how to get your premium domains included in the auction at the low three percent rate can be found at www.sedoauctions.com or by contacting broker@sedo.com.<br /><br />“Domain buyers and sellers have turned to Sedo again and again for its experienced, trusted brokerage services and a marketplace featuring the largest portfolio of names in the world today,” said Matt Bentley, chief strategy officer of Sedo. “Sedo’s online auction service cements the company’s leading position by offering a new domain sales model that meets the industry’s changing needs.”<br /><br /><a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/domaincash.html">Instant Domain Cash</a> - <a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/drt.html">The Domaining Tool</a> - <a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/domainauction.html">Domain Bargains</a><br /><br />Source: <a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/sp.html">Sedo</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.domainingblog.com">Domaining Blog™</a><br /><a href="http://www.domainingblog.com">"Make The Most Of Domains™"</a><br /><a href="http://www.DomainingBlog.com">DomainingBlog.com™</a><br /><a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/nd.html"><br />TURN DOMAINS INTO CA$H NOW!</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/expireddomains.html">Expired Domains</a> - <a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/enomdomaingrabber.html">Expired Domain Tool</a> - <a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/droplistscript.html">Drop Catching Tool</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/domain_name_interviews_01.htm">DOMAINING INTERVIEWS</a> - <a href="http://www.domainingblog.com/domain_name_reports_01.htm">SPECIAL EDITION REPORTS</a></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

East domain conference in Hollywood, Florida,<br />on October 27, 2006.<br /><br />The 10 .mobi domains to be auctioned are "celebs," "cheaptickets,"<br />"flowers," "fun," "gossip," "hot," "laugh," "party," "stockquotes" and<br />"wow."<br /><br />The dotMobi Premium Names list is a compilation of commonly used words<br />and phrases which dotMobi has set aside for equitable allocation as an<br />alternate to the traditional "first come, first serve" procedure. These<br />names will be distributed in batches through 2008 using both auction and<br />Request for Tender (RFT) processes.<br /><br />Sites built using the .mobi domain make accessing the Internet on a<br />mobile device faster, less expensive and more reliable by offering content<br />tailored for mobile phones. More than 150,000 .mobi domains have been<br />registered since General Registration commenced on October 11, 2006.<br /><br />"Given the strong demand for .mobi domain names, bidding at this<br />initial auction will most likely be exciting," said Neil Edwards, CEO of<br />dotMobi. "We anticipate that the winning bidders of these Premium Name<br />sites will develop relevant and useful content for mobile Internet<br />cons
