My Websites

  • eRealEstate.com
    The first website on the net to be devoted to the future of domain names. Online since 1996.
  • T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Conference
    Gas it what fuels a car, TRAFFIC is what fuels the net
  • RumorMill.com
    What's the latest rumor?
  • Property.com
    I have no business owning a great domain like this. But the rest of the universe is still asleep at the wheel.
  • Candy.com
    Another domain I have no business owning but the candy industry is still asleep at the wheel.
  • HotDates.com
    Just an example of a parked domain page.
  • Widgets.com
    The domain that can be anything it wants to be. Perhaps the most generic of all domain names.
  • ChildPornography.com Reporting Center
    This site has been online for over 12 years. I originally got it so it would not fall into the hands of someone who would exploit the most innocent. It has been a resource for reporting child porn and make it easy to look up sex offenders by state.
  • Articles with Rick
    Just a smattering of some interviews and articles over the years.
  • DomainDevelopers.com
    Headquarters for the NEXT phase.
  • ExtraCash.com

So you Think Rings.com is Best for Jewelry? I Think not!!

Afternoon Folks!!

It would be the knee jerk reaction of most to believe Rings.com should end up with a jewelry store. But is that REALLY the highest and best use? Absolutely not! As we have it the value is $3.5 Million. But how can you make that same domain worth 10x that? I have the answer.

The PERFECT use for Rings.com would be for Bing.com to go after Google Circles. That's the single best use at this point in time. Imagine making that sale. Persuading folks in power to make a decision that what we have can be useful in what they are trying to achieve. SIMPLE!

Maybe showing a strategic way to a common end has value? Maybe more than you might think.

Have a GREAT day!
