Elliot Silver has been blogging since June 2007 and has not stopped since.  I really applaud him for this, it is extremely difficult to take a blog and continue writing month after month supplying new information.  I am not the only one to notice, he has been awarded blog of the year 2008 by DomainTools.com, DomainerChoiceAwards.com and if memory serves me correct he won something at TRAFFIC.

Beyond his blogging Elliot is becoming a big player in the Geo domain name scene.  He owns domains like Lowell.com and Burbank.com which are 2 of the top 250 populated US cities.  I know what Elliot paid for Lowell.com, it was no joke.  Elliot is a serious full time domainer, making waves and here to stay.

Q. I read the bio on your blogs, says you are a graduate of NYU, do you think your education has helped in anyway with your domaining business?
A. I attended grad school at NYU and graduated with a Master’s Degree in Direct and Interactive Marketing. One of the hallmarks of direct marketing is that you should test everything – creative, price point, call to action…etc. – all of which can be done by using a variety of domain names in a campaign. In grad school, I also learned about the importance of being able to calculate your return on investment for any marketing effort.  By using a call to action domain name for different campaigns, you can see where visitors learned about your product/service and track your ROI.

First let me start by saying Happy Thanksgiving to those that celebrated yesterday. Yes it’s a little late, sorry. Long story short, we went to my mother-in-laws for the holiday and she not only has an old computer, but it’s bogged down with useless software, programs and probably viruses. To top that all off she only has dial up. I hit the AOL button because that is her internet provider and it took at least five minutes just to launch. I am not a very patient man, before I let it frustrate me on a holiday I let it go and went back to watching football.

The holiday in America is a time for thanks, well I have a list of people to thank for making DNKitchen what it is. I want to thank my readers, sou-chefs, sponsors, developers and of course my wife. You have all shown great support, this would not be possible without you.

I want to apologize to my readers signed up for my newsletter.  It was my intention to get a newsletter out this morning with deleting domain names.  I ate too much turkey yesterday to get up that early.  I am working on the list now and will have it out for tomorrows deleting domain names.  If your not signed up on my newsletter that gives you about six hours to get signed up.

Coming Monday, my interview with Elliot Silver.  Elliot is not only a great domainer but a great person, he has given me some very helpful Geo domain advice.

Lastly, to update everyone about my post for worst registrar, I am still waiting to get something from Bob Parsons owner of GoDaddy.  They have a staff of employees that sort through everything.  I am in the final stages of approval for an interview.  Should be mid December before you see that, I will keep everyone posted.

***UPDATED ARTICLE***

One market pretty much every domainer has an opinion about is the LLLL.com market. Today, rather than look at sales numbers, we’re going to look at LLLL.com drop and LLLL.com registration numbers, courtesy of research from Andrei of NameDato.com.

Andrei is a well known short domain name investor who has been tracking LLLL.com drops each and every day since the LLLL.com buyout.

LLLL.com drops and the LLLL.com minimum wholesale are intimately correlated. Domain name “buyouts” are a familiar experience to most domainers who’ve been in the game awhile, many having taken part in one at some point or another. How many here remember November 2007 when LLLL.coms were bought out and what transpired seemingly immediately afterward?

I am waiting for a response but hopefully will be getting some type of discount link for everyone.

Now, if you have not signed up to receive my newsletter and deleting domain name list your crazy. Well, you can’t be that crazy because your reading this but crazy enough to miss out on some money. Make sure to sign up on the top left of the site. One of my readers picked up a domain name from my list for $7.49 using my GoDaddy discount link and was able to sell the domain name for $200 within a week. I am also working with an end buyer for one of the domain names I picked up off my own list, if it goes through I will make sure to post the details.
