http://OnlineFinancing.com will go for development if we did not receive a great offer this month. The real money with web development (when you aren’t selling a product or service) is in direct relationship deals with advertisers. Instead of having to hope for clicks with Adsense or a parked page, you can work with someone to build a website, add space for 5-6 advertisers, charge a fair rate for top placement, and blow your PPC earnings away.

This is the kind of good news for the domain industry.
This is what you get for paying someone at $6.50/hr to manage your domains.

Holiday.mobi, sold $ 14500 in 2007
So what happened then?
This domain sold 2k in Tdnam.com auction last week.
Is it very interesting!?..

I can’t understand how they could let such a thing happen.
I’ve sold soon to expire domains for around $50 and then seeing them not beeing renewed… But that´s small potatoes compared to this.

I am the domain owner of that domain name.
The domain was really a big snap for me.

I know Vendare well. I used to sell them promo products for several years to the tune of $75k-100k/month. They were not nor are they now the sharpest tools in the shed. Having said that, I don’t trust Moniker as far as I can throw them. Some of the folks there are GREAT but I would never dream of putting ANY of my names under their registrar. I use Fabulous.com and as I have stated many, many times before, they are the BEST registrar on the planet. I know for a fact that had I owned a name like onlineFinancing.com and it was about to expire and I had not responded to any of their email notifications, I would have received a PHONE CALL from my rep. It’s just the way they do business and they are extremely concerned about and attentive to the needs of their customers. Moniker….not so much.

Wow – what a painful story! I would’ve paid more than $4,800 for that one. Slipped under my radar! I was at that TRAFFIC auction, and I remember bidding on that name. We all forget a name here and there, but they’re usually the unloved orphans! This should serve as a lesson to all of us.

Try using the great tool at DomainTools.com called Domain Monitor. Works great for those forgotten registrations that are left in small accounts. Has save me a few times this year!
