It actually is very simple math, but the speed and efficiency of your results can vary a lot depending on your exercise regimen and diet.

Losing or gaining weight is 80% diet, 20% exercise. But...

I've heard a lot about Lean Gains (at Reddit/r/fitness, where I hang out a lot).

I've come to a point now where weight loss and gain aren't any concerns. I'm at a healthy enough weight and pack a...

The former has far more adult development opportunities.

That nail. You hit it right on the head.

I merely used that as the base for building another argument that Shane and Andrew hadn't touched upon.

If you look at DNS' sales over the past 6 months, you'll notice that a majority of them are brandables, with a few keyword generics thrown in. Schilling is the smartest domainer I know; he figured...

Eventually, Facebook will become uncool.

Facebook's worth is directly tied to its perceived 'coolness'. This was the place college kids hung out on before it was opened to the masses at large. It...

What's your opinion on the 'Paleo' diet? Is it sustainable in the long run? I've had some remarkable results with it.

Five words spring to mind:

'Cash Grab'

&

'Pump and Dump'

Companies will buy them because they really have nothing to lose. It won't make a difference to Google's bottomline if it spends...

Same here. I have a domain I've been wanting to register for some time for a personal blog, but can't justify going through all the loops to get it.

I've made it a point to walk as much as I can. It seriously is the best form of exercise you can get. I've stopped using the car to make quick runs to the grocery store. If a place is within a radius...

Some people have too much money, too little sense what to do with it.

I've flipped reg fee names for $500+ only to see the domain hosting a blank page for an year, and being dropped subsequently. ...

You'd be retarded to sell it to a domainer. As biggie said, domainers will offer you anywhere from $60 to $20,000 for it.

This is an end-user domain through and through.

Start emailing :)

One of my New Year's resolutions was to hit the gym and get rid of that little spare tire on my stomach that was threatening to balloon up at an alarming rate.

Let's just say, "I went. I ran. I...

Hi Jack,

Welcome to DNF. I'm sure you'll enjoy your stay here - and hopefully, make a lot of money while doing so :cheers:

I work with and follow startups very closely. Many times, I see a new startup being launched that I know will hit it big (great idea, great team, great execution are some indicators). More often than...

I wouldn't say that the consternation has been due to the 'threat' posed to domaining; it has been due to the threats posed to domain name values.

While you might say that more TLDs will drive...

This certainly refreshed a lot of old memories.

I guess I have my weekend reading material now :)

The biggest problem with .xxx and related TLDs is that very few domainers will opt for the development route with their names. Buying up .xxx domains is one thing, putting up porn websites is...

As much as I would like to believe ICANN to be this evil organization populated with Lex Luthor clones, I don't think ICANN would be willing to jeopardize its TLD process with such a move.

Hope it works out well for you. Personally, unless it is a non-profit, I wouldn't give a domain out to anyone. MS can afford to pay for a domain, even if it is just reg fee.

It's interesting to note that Facebook reported it to be a "cash and stock" deal. There have been no concrete figures as to what the actual breakdown of cash and stock was. I would suspect that the...

This could easily escalate...:)

Nothing less than a mobile app pointing to the nearest restroom on Google Maps would do. Maybe they can later sell it to Facebook for $1Bn ;)

Gave, as in, sold it to them? Did they offer a good price compared to the aftermarket?

That's what bothers me. How is the first option any better than the latter?

Unfortunate as it is, people still don't understand domain names. Which is a shame because we in this industry know what a good domain name can do for a business...

For the record, Instagram has no revenues. It's far more difficult to monetize pictures than, say, videos (since some people have been comparing this deal to the Google-YouTube deal in 2006). You...

Do they end in .greeen? ;)

I was just thinking about this. The last time a new tech company joined the $100B valuation club, it was Google in 2004. And Google was incredibly disruptive and changed the way we browse for and use...

So, Facebook bought Instagram for $1Bn today.

That's the big tech news story that will be discussed, analyzed and debated over the next one week.

Instagram has no revenues. It hasn't even...

Thanks! I'll see what I can get done.

Ideally, I would like it to be a little more fun and irreverent, with sections like "Your Domain S*cks!" (a discussion of bad domains used by big brands), an...

I hope not. I would overpay for every site if I were to use it.

The OP linked to TheFreeDictionary.com

Anyone can add any definition to that site. I could make up an abbreviation for any term - it's a lot like UrbanDictionary.com

In my experience writing...

I just realized I've been here for half a decade - 1/5th of my life.

It's a humbling thought.

On that note: how many domainers would be interested in a DNFBlog.com domaining podcast? I've been toying with the idea for a while now. What would you want the podcast to focus on?

Just updated the title. I am prone to 'bloggers' hyperbole' at times :)

Haha. Love the way you put it. Of course, gross generalizations are usually bad and different things can work for different folks :)

Just to clarify: perhaps this came out a bit hyperbolic in the article, but Morgan's advice is on how to build a six figure business, and not a solitary six-figure brand. Morgan discusses...

Actually, the examples for DNF and Facebook design changes don't really apply to portfolio websites because there are no other websites offering the same services as DNF or Facebook. And while DNF...

The biggest mistake the .info registry made was offering domains for $1.99. It still hasn't been able to shake off the 'spammer haven' reputation since.

I was fortunate to not be in that unlucky few.

But honestly, when Music.mobi sold for something like $675k, it did make me question my convictions really, really hard. And Doc was really...

Would you want to walk into a car dealership and see ads for other car dealers? Would you trust a stock broker who puts up a giant billboard advertising another stock broker's services in his office?...

I used Rick just as an illustration - that one of the biggest domainers in the world made his fortune on dot-coms, and not other extensions. Perhaps it was wrong to use him in the context.

I guess...

The site is still in testing (beta) phase, so let's not be too harsh. At the conceptual level, I feel it's brilliant, and the execution is pretty impressive too. I'm pretty sure DomainTools will iron...

Alexa, Compete and Quantacast ranks and scores are almost always wrong by a HUGE margin, especially on newer sites. One of my sites that gets around 30 visits per day has an Alexa rank of 100,000. Go...

I could add a dozen more ("You invested in .mobi!" for starters), but five a nice, round figure. "50 reasons you won't succeed as a domainer" would just scare people off!

Hi guys,

I'll be starting a new series on DNFBlog.com titled "Domainer Stories" where we write about average domainers and how they got started in this business, and the lessons they've learned so...

Not everyone needs to type a lot. This is why my Facebook feed is filled with idiots who use OMG and LOL and 'u' instead of 'you' :)



Tablets are actually pretty good for browsing. The...
