And from the last post a little on ICAAN and Domains

ICAAN Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers is the major regulator of domain names on the internet. It is a regulatory body that governs and assists in setting standards for domains amidst other things. Since were into domains here we will focus on that. What does this mean to the average domainer? What is the latest thing about ICAAN? Does it matter to me?

First the site has alot of jargon and data that a layman may have some difficulty with interpreting. It borders on lawyer speak and there are tidbits of information that a average domainer can learn. On the other hand looking at the global relationships that are developing it is useful to see where things are going. The latest endeavor is regarding institutional confidence. How this effects a domainer? Basically something to browse over. Very broad in their coverage. Almost like it is in the clouds.

I always visit ICAAN just to see what is going on about once a month. They also have a newsletter. I am always interested in professional organizations that are growing. Domainers can find some useful information from the site. After all it is part of the internet.

Icann and the Domains we will look at in the near future?

I am looking at more refinance, and future technology domains. These are some that should do well as long as they are targeted. You must always be on the curve of the trend. There are exceptions as this is the domain business. I am sure most visitors here have seen the rare LLLL.com sell for in the $xxx.xx region only months later for the high xxx,xx or more.

Domains will be more valuable as things work themselves out in the tug o war economy that we are in. We as domainers both experienced and new will be able to help each other. Posting and pointing out areas that are likely to generate buzz in the community. Or just sharing simple techniques that have worked. Some of these are already adapting and change is always occurring. More later..

Uncertain Economy and Domains are the answer?

This has been a sudden twist in the domain blogs I have visited this week. I read quite a few posts. They all focused around the massive bailout. The stall in the house and finally the senate approval. Throughout this mini economic upheaval I have seen an improvement in my own outlook on the economy and domaining.

Domaining overall is weathering the storm nicely. I can see domains that go for $50 or $50,000 still selling on major auction sites. I cannot ignore the fact that there will be some heightened scrutiny on investors who are looking to domains in the current climate. Just remember for the average domainer. Keep your value margins for your domain. Explain that to the potential buyer. Try to add some incentive. Things maybe a little rough in the outside world as the economy shifts. But most of us have seen times like these in the past. Domains will continue to be more stable as we ride this out. The return will still be in the value of the domain. How the type in traffic works and other elements that make brandable domains a mover on the internet.
