Good post Acro! I think your points are right on... I never met Rick personally but I was at a convention to hear him speak for a short while, Long enough to form my own opinion of him.
Agreed... I dont think anyone trusts the parking companies, including myself. Change is coming as you say, They've had the upper hand for way too long. With the increase in competition, it's only a matter of time.![]()
I'm sorry you don't understand it. He's basically passing judgement on the methods of domainers and parking companies, while simultaneously peddling porn (e.g. www.jerkoff.mobi), low-quality PPC results, and outrageously expensive admission tickets to self-indulging domainer conventions. He's a big crybaby watching his revenue stream shrink, not being satisfied with over-the-top profits from domain sales. Perhaps he thinks peddling buttplugs and trannys is better for the domainer business than what he spews to dnjournal and suckers who plop down a few thou to attend the conventions he sponsors.
Agree. It's mostly jealousy over his portfolio and wealth combined with his self-proclaimed title of "Domain King". It's a similar situation vs Rush Limbaugh saying every day he represents to talk shows and the media what Babe Ruth means to baseball vs Rick's title of The Domain King or Webfather?

Wow! You can't even attempt to hide your jealousy can you...!
1. I imagine most of us on here have at least a few adult ; I do - the adult industry drives the internet; it's the #1 innovator.
2. He can charge what he likes for his conference tickets - it's not compulsory to attend.
3. Crybaby? A crybaby would be someone who whines but does nothing about it. The ppc companies he's 'crying' about pay handsomely to attend his shows; do you think they want to hear his ranting - I wouldn't be suprised if some pulled out of future events.
4. Over-the-top profits from sales - that must really hurt you? Are you a communist or something? What's a fair amount of profit?
1. No, not jealous. I don't wish to be Rick Schwartz. I'm happy being me.
2. I don't own any adult. Don't get me wrong, I love porn, but don't sell porn then go bash the ethics of domainers and PPC companies.
3. Crybaby? Yes, he is. He's lashing out at those of us who had nothing to do with his current predicament.
4. His over-the-top profits don't hurt me bro, I'm no communist. I'm no hypocrite either. Now Schwartz is bashing those whom he invites (for a fat fee) to his every-other-month domainer conventions. I thought he sold booth space to those same parking companies he's bashing now. If I'm wrong there, let me know. He wasn't bashing them when he was cashing their checks, right?
You love porn, but have got a problem with the ethics of those who sell it? If there were no customers, there'd be no-one to sell it. There is a chasm of difference between owning porn sites, and stitching people up on the revenue split at parking co's.
As for lashing out - I don't feel lashed, 'cos I know he wasn't talking about me. If you don't own a dodgy parking company, or a portfolio stuffed with blatent TM names, then you shouldn't feel lashed at either.
Glad to see sedo in the thread down the bottom![]()

Rick is a visionary. However he has the personality of a porcupine. A self promoting porcupine which are always the worst.
Oh, I am wrong and not insightful, but you can fart from the mouth without having made any valid points - other than your dislike of Rick Schwartz and the jerkoff.mobi you keep tossing around.
I think hes right about the ppc traffic pool being filled with crap.
Used to baffled me why GoTo (Overture) and Google would pay good money for expired traffic, then I realised they dont pay much for it at all.
As all these expired/tasted/fake traffic names get strip mined and dumped into the PPC pool, the traffic quality just gets worse and worse. Google and Yahoo dont care, they want the eyeballs. They just crank up the fraud and quality controls, and pay less and less across the board to everybody.
Maybe the providers and PPC companies arent thieves. Maybe they are just being brutaly honest. Maybe the real problem is a lot of the names being bought at places like Snap and TDNam, then pointed to PPC companies are just a bunch of crap.

Domaining to the max.
I don't think that the tiered pricing of $1495 - $1795 - $1995 is expensive, given the opportunities that are present for oneself to educate, socialize and network at such an event. If you find these prices expensive, you haven't been to an analogous convention in the corporate world. Also, to a professional this cost is an expense at the end of the tax year.
One hand for the cellphone and one hand to take care of business. Clever use of a .mobi.
Acro you went to only one relatively dead domain conference and instantly became a Traffic cheerleader. If you go to to the next Domainfest, we won't be able to shut you up.![]()
