its a legit issue - I'd rather trust one company and not a bunch of them. I'm negotiating with a broker at sedo right now and I'm kinda hoping the sale falls through so I can just put a BIN with an escrow.com buy-now button and maybe the buyer will complete it without the sedo commission. I...

Thanks, great info, and yes, I want real relevant sites to link to mine, so I would certainly be looking for expiring domains relating to my niche. Then rebuilding the old site as much as possible, I guess you could call it a zombie website, then after it recovers some trust with google, then...

Thanks, I'll check it out. It's less about buying/selling them, more about how to put them to good use and what to expect. Oh, and how to know if they're any good - so what is the gold standard data source for determining if a backlink domain I'm wanting to buy from a guy like that is actually...

There's all this craziness over backlink domains lately, so I'm guessing it must be working for these buyers. I'm planning to launch my own side project, not domain related or casino related or anything. But I'm wondering if I should be keeping my eye open for this particular niche traffic...

completely unrelated but, @MapleDots - nice work on "cleaning" things up quickly, lol. No chance for the dust to settle, haha.

I think its never been more important for any business serving Canadian customers to clearly show they are Canadian, so .CA is more than "just fine" - its nearly mandatory. Even if you're lucky enough to score the .com equivalent, the .ca should be forward facing for Canadian customers. Of...

Yes, a routine is important when you have a big portfolio. 1. Every couple months, consolidate all your domains to one registrar. I don't care if you just bought it and have 10 months left. You bought it for the long-haul, so just pony up the extra fee and do it now and then you won't have to...

Its simple, you always consolidate your acquisitions to a single registrar after the 60 days are up, and you stay on top of it. Then you only have one place to deal with renewals.

Yeah, I was going to say there's nothing stopping any registrar from getting involved at whatever level they're comfortable with, and expanding as justified economically. No different than WHC (and their sibername predecessor) or Baremetal have done over many years. Others have come and gone...

talk to CIRA... that's ridiculous. They are failing their responsibility as a registrar.

And thanks to @Legalnonconforming for catching that and bringing it to everyone's attention!

And a very sincere thank you for doing something about it!

Is that even true? I have .us domains as old as 2002 where that was clearly not the case. From my experience, it was only government sites that used the .{state_abbr}.us structure.

@CIRA ?
