Competitors Lack Many Important Features

Currently the domain industry has three sources which aggregate and deliver domain news.

  • DNHour – A website powered by the Pligg script which is plagued by spam links and has virtually no organization or social features. Voting can easily be duped by deleting cookies or voting on different computers.
  • Domaining.com – An excellent resource for top domain blogs, but lacks versatility, customization, voting and commentary.
  • Discussion Forums – Rarely updated and often only displaying the biggest news items.

The Domainer’s Community is fulfilling the need for a one-stop stable and easy to use domain industry news source.  Please join us and contribute your favorite domaining resources, news, photos and videos.

Domain Name Sales Tip: Less is More

When selling domain names you need to consider what goes through the mind of potential buyers.  Almost all domain sales marketplaces allow domain sellers to list multiple domain names for sale, be it domain forum posts, classified listings, email newsletters or auctions.

Large amounts of domain names in a single place can be overwhelming to a buyer.  Even if they find value in several of your names they may be unwilling to make a decision on a specific few and let’s face it, they are not going to buy them all.

This idea can apply to almost any industry.  The fewer options a user has to pick from the better chance they will actually make a purchase.

The phenomenon can be attributed to a buyer’s time spent browsing or shopping.  We all have the equivalent attention span of a goldfish on the internet.  A buyer can easily find 1 or 2 names in a list of 10 very quickly and make an offer or purchase.

Give it a try, start posting sales listings with 10-15 names instead of 50-100.  And it should go without saying that your short list of names must be of good quality and decently priced.

Domainer Loses LH.com to Airline Giant Lufthansa

Some disturbing news hitting home today. The premium generic domain name “LH.com” has been ordered to be transfered to airline giant Lufthansa.

Elliot Silver reminds us that this case is far from over as Future Media Architects has filed a preemptive lawsuit against Lufthansa in case they lost the domain name via UDRP.

Via OKOK.com: LH.com Lost in UDRP Decision

A scandalous decision has once again been reached by the so called wipo arbitration panel.

The name is currently still owned by ‘elequa’. Well known in the domain industry and owns a vast portfolio of short acronym domains. Including ‘i.net’ !

A gem dating back to 1995. It is Lufthansa who have effectively hijacked this name now. Reverse hijacking (or daylight robbery) is on the increase as firms desperate to own a unique short web address try and take via court action from legitimate owners.

More information can be found at the Official UDRP Decision and this NamePros discussion.
