May be used as a flotation device
According to DN Journal newsletter #43, the median price for domains sold during the third quarter of 2010 oscillates around the $2,900 usd mark, up from $2,500 usd a year ago for the same quarter. This is not counting sales below $2,000 usd for .coms and below $1,000 usd for all other extensions, which is where the low-end market gets its play. READ MORE
A Blogger site makes its transition to WordPress
I recently purchased a medium sized blog created in Blogger with content relevant to my destination marketing business. The Blogger (blogspot) blog itself was not really of interest to me, but its content had potential as a means to quick-start a larger, more commercial travel site. READ MORE
Mexico and the use of ccTLDs
As some of you may know, I’m a destination marketer and part-time domainer based in Baja Mexico. For some time now I’ve been studying the use of domains in my little piece of the Baja, as well as in mainland Mexico, especially in the business and travel markets that I deal with on a day to day basis.

Using Domain Promo Codes
I’ve had many of my domains come up for renewal in recent months and while I have them registered at several registrars, I’m focusing on consolidating most of them at GoDaddy and Moniker, my two favorite registrars at this time. READ MORE
Spring Cleaning… Domainer Style
It’s been a month since my last post. Boy, does time fly when you’re busy. January has already passed but for those of us living and working down here in Cabo, it feels like the first 15 days. So what’s kept me away the last month? Two very important projects we’ve been focusing on with all of our efforts since the start of the New Year.
To a Happy and Successful 2010!
Well, 2009 has finally come and gone. Good riddance to a year that saw many challenges and trials for many on a global scale, as well as many blessings and rewards that will help to shape the year ahead for the better. We start the New Year with alot of excitement and we’re anxious to see what 2010 has in store for us and the domain industry as a whole. READ MORE
Available Holiday Domain Names!
It’s been a very busy couple of weeks since my last post. We’re taking advantage of the holiday season and slow business arena to work on several in house projects. Among them are three new travel websites I’m currently building in WordPress and that I hope to begin to launch one by one as of January 2010. I look forward to sharing more on that as we begin to go live in the coming weeks. READ MORE
Geodomain Series Part IV – CaboVillas.com
The fourth installment in our Geodomain Investment and Development Series focuses on CaboVillas.com, one of the top online destination properties marketing Los Cabos to an affluent American travel market and beyond. It is, in my opinion, one of those perfect examples of a working and profitable online business, tied to a well-established brick and mortar business of a different name. READ MORE
Geodomain Series Part III – Baja.com
After a two week leave of absence I’m happy to say we’re back with the third installment of our Geodomain Investment and Development series. This post is about Rick Latona’s Baja.com property—a great geodomain acquired about two and a half years ago along with an outstanding portfolio of some of the top destinations along the Baja California Peninsula in Mexico, where I live.

Geo Domain Series Part II – Acapulco.com
The second part in our series on Geodomain Investment and Development comes to us from Michael Castello, CEO of the Castello Cities Internet Network (or CCIN). Michael and his brother David founded CCIN more than 10 years ago to consolidate the successes of their geodomain properties such as PalmSprings.com, Nashville.com and of course, the topic of today’s post, Acapulco.com.
