Since launching in May 2009, 4526 domains totaling $4.64 million have been sold and successfully transferred using NDX Market's brokerage and sales platform.

Name Drive reported that 24 different TLDs have been sold on NDX Market. The dominant TLDs were  .com and .de domains, making up 40% of the sales between them.

The Above.com Domain Parking Manager has reached and surpassed a major milestone this November. Optimizing and reporting on over 1 million parked domains. 1.2 million domains to be exact.

These domains are parked via 15 different Parking Companies and for good reason. Each domain parking service has strengths and weaknesses. Some are Google based and some are Yahoo based, some do better on US traffic, some do better on International traffic, some do better on adult or gaming domains others do better on travel or finance domains.

DOMAINfest Global 2010 guests will be treated to a one-of-a-kind experience at the world renowned Getty Center art museum.  The Getty Center is perched on the hillside of the Santa Monica Mountains overlooking the Pacific Ocean and the Los Angeles cityscape.

DOMAINfest guests will have exclusive access to view Van Gogh's 'Irises', Rembrandt and even show off their own artistic talents in the DOMAINfest Art competition.

Great addition to the DOMAINfest Global 2010 agenda, January 26-28.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Effective as of 1 Dec 2009 DomainWatch.com.au the Australian drop domain service that competes with drop.com.au has advised that the New Minimum Bid is going to increase from $20.00 to $50.00 with increments of $10.00

It seems like that they wish to discourage the volume registrations that are most common. Those domains that you will give them a go for their $20  but not $30 and definitely not $50

This price increase is another good reason to use drop.com.au instead, as their minimum bids is $1 plus Registration so $23.10 (inc GST), before this domainwatch minimum bid worked out to be cheaper at $22 (inc GST).

$23.10 or $55.00 not sure about you, but   I know where I will be going for those domains that I am want to take a punt at.

Apart from the revenue, the most important figure related to a domain name is the traffic it gets. Sometimes you just want a rough idea of the traffic of a site to decide whether the domain could be a good buy.

There are a few basic tools which can give you an indication of the traffic:

Domain Tasting is the practice of purchasing several available domain names and then utilizing the five-day grace period to decide which of the domains will be profitable to own and releasing those that are not financially beneficial.
