Frank Schilling opens up DomainNameSales.com

Some pretty cool and interesting data is now available from as many as 1,000,000 domains for sale on the DomainNameSales.com platform… But why did Frank Schilling and the NAMedia team decide to open up the platform and unleash all of this data about the new “marketplace” you must be wondering!?? It wasn’t just for the hell of it, you know.

I think the reasoning behind this latest move is mainly because this data will get the new sales website/platform a lot more attention and create a consistent buzz week in and week out from all of the industry’s bloggers / evangelists and maybe even outsider media. It’s a nice organic growth strategy. sedo and Afternic do it in a similar fashion, so good to follow in the leaders’ footsteps. Can’t go wrong with that

Finally we agree at something, Mike

Good reporting and article.

Agree on the strategy. Interesting to see the domain bloggers response

The scroller really sucks imho.

**rr4111** · 12-09-2011, 05:04 PM

Agreed...don't like the scroller. I think it was meant to be like a stock ticker. I like the amount of info in one place though.

**Mike Cruz** · 12-09-2011, 06:35 PM

Some, if not all the prices on that ticker are INSANE. But the site is pretty cool.

I suppose he is helping us all out by posting prices.

Yes that is true and I believe that.

Personally though, I am not a big fan of scrollers on webpages. Makes the page hard to look at.
I love info and I love data, dont get me wrong. But a lil' bit of Ajax/Jquery would fit everything on the first fold,
wouldnt confuse the eyeballs, and appear more modern.

I should focus more on the information made available though.

Makes me think of dow and stock markets. Not sure if that is good or bad.

Exactly Melly !!

Stock prices change by the second, hence the need and usability of a 'ticker' or scroller.

But domain sales dont happen that fast and furious, to need a ticker, imo.
