The Rick Schwartz Domain Name and Traffic Blog:

Afternoon Folks!!

As I reported a few weeks ago, I had just reached agreement on my 4th Seven-Figure+ domain deal.

I can now release a few more details and I will release all the details in the next 2 weeks. What I can tell you is I sold the domain for $1.35MM and it was a domain I hand registered in 1996. But that is here nor there 17 years later. I knew what I saw then was real and I have been out there proving it ever since. The buyer got a great name that will help them expand and grow their business and brand and do everything a domain like this should do to make a business truly global.

I look forward to the domain going live and will report the rest of the story at that time.

I want to thank Network Solutions and specifically the Rep I will tell you about when I release all the details.

Morning Folks!!

I make a lot of typos. No not domain typo's. Typos when I post or even write emails. See my focus is my thought and I want to get that out before I lose that thought or word or phrase and so grammar and spelling and punctuation when I am in full typing mode results in a lot of typos. Plus I answer several hundred emails a day and sometime I don't even check what I wrote before hitting send. Not a good thing to do. I am trying to do it less. But not all the time.

Below is the paragraph below before I tried and fix all the issues and there are many.

"I make a lot of typos. No not domain typo's. Typos when I post or even write emails. See my focus is my thought and I want to get that out before I lose that thoughjt or word or phrase and so grammar and spelling and punctuation when I am in full typing mode results in a lot of typos.Plus I answer several hindred emails a day and sometime I don't even check what I wrote before hitting send. Not a good thing to do. I am trying to do it less. But not all the time."

Left of the dot, right of the dot I do this for a living and sometimes I am still confused. Left's and Right's are not exactly my strong point and I have a lot of company. About 3/4 of the planet. So I decided to make a point and use an example below of another stage of possible confusion by changing the "." dot or period. Will there be a live link there now?

"Should be fun to go.free admission too. sometimes you don't know if it is a domain name or they forgot to put a space after the period.that can be confusing."

so how is "go.free" handled?

So the question is how does the world process this. Do they see a "Dot" or do they see a "Period"?

Another unknown. It can be processed in different ways by different operations or programs or email or whatever. or is that .whatever? That period is so confusing.

Just another thing to think about and digest and it connects with my next post about keywords and the traffic growth certain domains will see.

Morning Folks!

"That warning wasn’t so much a slam on Twitter, which Williams helped create, as it was an observation about human nature. People will be people. The internet wants to give them exactly what they’re looking for. And people who understand how to channel that tendency will be disproportionately powerful."

In this article Williams talks about "Desire", "Human Nature " and "20 years". He talks about farming as I did just this week!

“The internet is not what I thought it was 20 years ago,” Williams said. “It’s not a utopian world. It’s essentially like a lot of other major technological revolutions that have taken place in the history of the world.” He compares it to, well, agriculture. “[Agriculture] made life better. It not only got people fed, it freed them up to do many more things — to create art and invent things.”

Finally, he uses the word "Desire" 4 different times. Talks about "Need" and  "Want"

Good read!
