What do you not understand and what shock you? ... I confirm Jamie comment, he is not a PremiumDomains.com affiliate, nor he is paid for the post. For the story, Jamie contacted me a pair of days ago saying he would like to make a post about a premium name he found interesting and well priced at PremiumDomains.com I put his post as a sponsored as indirectly it promotes our premium marketplace. For a reason I ignore very few bloggers use to talk about our domain services so when one do it and without asking anything it's the minimum I can do, give him my thanks and sponsor his post at no charge.

I did not use an affiliate link. The owner of PremiumDomains.com also owns Domaining.com, so it would make sense for him to make the post a Sponsored Listing, as it promotes a domain name they have for sale with doing very little work. I wrote about the domain name because I like it, I think it has great development potential and I think it is fairly priced for the amount of potential it holds. "Domainers" may think the $150K is high or crazy or whatever, but I know the people that read DotWeekly as well and I wanted to share the domain and why I like it. @Chris,

Why else would you buy a sponsored listing on Domaining.com? Under the new FCC rules that would have to be stated in the blog post, but it hasn't gone into effect yet so you're ok, lol. And from what I read they won't be policing blogs anyway, just relying on competitors to turn them in. As for the PremiumDomains affiliate payout structure, I'm completely baffled by it. I don't understand how they can payout 60% of the sale profit.

Best of luck in your Plan to sell Plan. To me 150k is a optimistic price, with such cash you can pick up to 5 good names that will give a nice ROI within 3 years.

Plans.com was sold just last year for $70k. Instead of explaining all the crap about sub-domains...show me the numbers! If you can show me that plans.com is making an average of $2500/month for the last 12 months from that parking page, i will buy it for $150k. Sorry…but plans.com is not worth $150k.

There was only 1 adwords advertiser when I just checked it. Also, I don't think that Google and Yahoo should count=) Their "maps" software is very popular and they are Google and Yahoo. I agree that I do see subdomains ranking for local searches with companies like Service Magic but that is probably the most that I see. No matter how awesome the domain name "Plans.com" is, I think you would have a very tough fight getting Business.Plans.com to rank for "business plans", but I would actually be happy to be wrong. I just think the competition would be very great. Again, I am not really disagreeing much with you, I think your idea is great, I just rarely see it implemented successfully using a competitive key word or phrase.

Do a search on Google for the term <em>maps</em> once. 2 of the top 3 listings are sub-domains. NationalGeographics.com has 2 P1 listings using a Sub-domain for maps as well. Sites like About.com, Yahoo.com and many, many more use sub-domains to the fullest. Do a search on Google for the term <em>omg</em> and you will notice omg.yahoo.com ranks #1 . Start searching for geo specific items and you will often see sub-domains ranking high. I also see sites like MSNBC use nothing but Sub-domains to promote it's shows etc. Do a search for the term <em>business school</em> and you will notice 6 of the top 10 listings are Sub-domains... ~ That was only pulling a couple terms off the top of my head. Another thing you will notice are companies using Sub-domains in Ads to match the users search term. Another strong benefit to the domain Plans.com . You can have exact matches to each search term if you wish. I see sub-domains ranking A LOT at the top of SE’s. Do a search on Google for the term maps once. 2 of the top 3 listings are sub-domains.
