in regards to Rick, like I say he gets credit for the one thing he's good at, and thats great sales. I mean sales where he gets prices that noone else could get.
Look at property, ireport and a ton of others.
also does anybody know who owns the missing NNN.com in TJ Demas' little sequence?
yep, you guessed it, Rick, with 243.com
that Guy is just plain lucky sometimes
and you can bet he's prob. been offered 188,888 or some crazy amount but of course it wont be enough for him.
anyway he sold roomdividers.com which is being used as a redirect for the firm that bought, i struggle to believe this can get more than a few uniques a day at best but at $75k sale and number 2 slot, he's gone and done it again.
if ever you want to hold a masterclass in selling Rick? i'll buy a ticket for that

No doubt Rick is a smart man and he has brought exposure to the industry. Credit where it's due. But do you want a repeating cybersquatter to represent you and talk in your name ? It's because of the behavior of people like him that we get a bad rep. I wouldn't want to give ammo to Mrs Snowe, Cadna & friends, no thanks.
Also what's going on with Traffic and the .me domains ? will they do .cc next ? Is this a venue for domain noobs or what ?
Remember, Greatdomains was respected and has credibility until they started peddling .cc & tv. domains.

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.
I went to the one right here in my hometown; I'd be a fool not to. Met many great people, but unfortunately not you Greg. I heard you play a mean blackjack.
Cheerleading is not my expertise, I will denounce anything that does not go with my principles.

Yes !
Rick does much more good for the industry than bad when he "rocks the boat". He goes out on a limb sometimes to make a point...and it usually provokes thought and meaningful discussion.....this type of activity can help catalyze change and improvement in the domain industry.

With all due respect, you're really wrong here trader. It's got little to do with jealousy and much more to do with hypocracy. Of course, I never thought about the possibility Rick is lumping himself in with the swarmy characters he speaks of. If he is lumping himself in with the negative role-models in this industry, then I apologize, he would then be no hypocrite.

I have nothing but admiration for Rick Schwartz. He's a master of marketing, and has been an fierce advocate for the entire domain industry. I may not agree with everything he has to say, but nobody provides more food for thought than Rick Schwartz!

(No, I'm not a Rick Schwartz staffer, and I've never even been to one of his fantastic TRAFFIC conferences.)

I'm sure you're old enough to know that Larry Flynt used that full name as the editor in chief of his magazine

Rick's article about Hotels.com (referenced in his blog above) is perhaps the most informative article ever written about owning such a name and how corporations simply just don't get it.

Perhaps, they would get it, if we had more credible characters speaking for our industry?
As we say in this country, "takes one to know one."

This is great news. I like the direction of the domain industry and it is inevitable.
I hope all this parked page garbage and PPC arbitrage gets eradicated by all the search engines. They offer nothing to internet users. It is pure garbage and waste.
Rick has not contributed any site that consumers found useful. Yes, he has been a good seller of domains. He sells land and parking lots but has no balls to develop and build.
The domain industry is moving towards the right direction. If you can not contribute to the internet community and surfers then what you are is a borderline spammer if the reliance is parked pages with links. Links and static content is a waste.
So yea, I am thrilled to hear the news. For all those who are developing their domains, thumbs up. It will be the only long term strategy. And it makes sense. Why have land that it is not developed? Might as well be a desert. Go to Dubai and see what development of land means. And yes they are profiting from it.
So you can keep your land and plant a cactus here and there but who ever visits it will certainly desert it. I would rather visit a place with people and real, genuine transactions. No tricks and borderline spam.
Feel free to disagree with me but hey we all have our opinions about his industry. I just look at it as a value driven economy to engage consumers and real commerce (and why not get some repeat visits while we are at it).
Cheers,
Constantine
