Great point, Joseph. Thank you very much for your comment. That is definitely one of the first steps a domainer should take when marketing their domains for sale.

I've often recommended both. And the Afternic+GoDaddy link makes it even more valuable.

Re: Buterfly Labs Accused of Buying Blog to Hide Negative Search Results

Jeff is also on the WHOIS record for Bitcoinx.com and I am almost positive they own BitcoinMining.com as well. Pages on both sites funnel visitors to BFL products with misleading content.

They were probably purchased in the same manner. The Archive.org history for BitcoinX at one point has a message stating "Under new management!" before the site is completely revamped.

Good suggestion, Thanks Braden. I will see about adding those. They are partially explained under "Letters" and "Numeric Domains" but those acronyms should definitely be mentioned.

Re: Will 2014 Be a Breakout Year for the Domain Name Industry?

I would tend to agree with you, it is somewhat of a drastic change, but the key word here in your comment is "random" TLD. The gTLDs that will be successful will have instant recognition. New gTLDs that are smaller brands, obscure references/ phrases, or too small of a niche may struggle to gain traction.

Thanks for your comment.

Thanks for your kind comments Marie. I will have to get back to you regarding the outcome of my FancyHands experiment, I am on month 2 of tasks and haven't contacted the leads yet. Stay tuned for an update.

I searched Google myself prior to each task request and determined the assistants would have a sufficient number of results to research and save me the time.

Re: Programmer Helps Narrow List of Decent Five and Six Letter Available Domains

Mark Fulton — Wed, 18 Jul 2012 11:18:16 -0000

Yes, I don't think advanced search options would help because the set of names has already been filtered. And, yes, those prefixes were likely all taken many years ago.

Thanks for checking it out Samit. Keep looking and you might find a gem. :)

Re: Using Domain Names as the Cornerstone of SEO

Thank you very much for the kind words. I really appreciate you featuring my article on your blog.

Re: Using Domain Names as the Cornerstone of SEO

Mark Fulton — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 14:57:27 -0000

That is a myth. Google and other search engines are quite capable of identifying the words used in a domain. Using hyphens comes down to personal preference. I recommend not using hyphens because it is more user friendly and memorable without. Thanks for you question.

Re: Using Domain Names as the Cornerstone of SEO

Mark Fulton — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 14:53:47 -0000

Hey John, thanks for your question. My recommendations in this article refers to using a desirable keyword or phrase in the business name or main domain name.

Using multiple keyword domain names to create backlinks to your main domain name may be considered gray hat and could cause penalties from Google when done the wrong way.

If each domain name is developed into it's own living-and-breathing entity, that could be a great way to build backlinks to you business. You'll want to build a more dynamic site than a mini-site or blog. A restaurant could do a local events calendar & blog or wedding suggestions photo gallery, mini-social network, etc.

Don't forget to include links to relevant external resources on occasion, use varying anchor text when linking to your main domain, and it probably would be beneficial to have the sites hosted on unique servers. Hope this helps. Thanks again.

Thank you and great to hear Scott. Keep spreading the good word. :)

Re: 2012 Will be the year of 3 and 4 word domains

Mark Fulton — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 15:30:45 -0000

I jumped the gun on predicting the rise of 3 word domains in a post last year. After learning that 55% of all search queries are more than three words, it's fair to say that businesses are going to capitalize on the long tail and individuals will carve out their niche. Slowly but surely, I believe you're spot on.

Sorry about that, I did get your message and have replied. I will look into fixing the CSS bug, the contact form is tweaked to look good in the default theme.

Re: Is Pre-Cognition Possible & Can It Beat Twitter on Breaking News?

Mark Fulton — Sat, 23 Jul 2011 10:12:48 -0000

Recorded Future is spot on. I featured them as one of ten ways to predict and profit from the future in an article last year: http://www.dotsauce.com/201...

What we've yet to recognize widely is that the human mind is actually capable of slight precognition. It's our "gut" feeling or sixth-sense. Can't wait till we learn more about those mysteries as well.

Re: 12 Tips and New Standards for Optimizing Your Website

Mark Fulton — Sun, 12 Jun 2011 10:54:06 -0000

Interesting. I read an article about +1 button that said it was not as optimized as it could be. One of the suggestions was to place the JS call in the footer.

Thanks for the heads up. I will pass the note on to developers.

Appreciate the kind comment!

Re: Bringing Back Handpicked Expired Domains! + New Domain Club Offer

Mark Fulton — Sun, 12 Jun 2011 10:51:15 -0000

Most expired domains do not have PageRank and the ones that do are often sent to auction. So, I typically do not include this metric. Occasionally a domain has PR2.

Thanks for your interest.
