Introduce Yourself!
November 4, 2007 · Print This Article
One goal I have in blogging is just to get to know other people who are domainers, so that we can share ideas and thoughts about the industry.
However, the funny thing about blogging is that you don’t know who is reading your blog! So, to change that, please take a moment and add a comment telling me who you are, what you do and anything else about yourself.
Hi,
Good to see a new blog in the space, I’ve added you to my reader after the post on the Moniker auction.
As an introduction, I’m Nick Wilsdon - long time SEO but had my hand in domaining for some years now. Now trying to expore the domaining side more for my own projects.

The other funny thing is when you don’t know who is writing it either
How about some info on the author so I know who to link to? 
Peter Askew from Domainer’s Gazette here..
I guess I’d be cataloged as an SEOmainer slash Domainer, as I tend to buy domains across both niches.
I’m in Atlanta, GA. I just got married in Jan 07. I’m 6′8 tall. And I love snow skiing.
I’ll also be at Pubcon Vegas in December..
now, call me stupid, but I never seemed to find your name on this site..(although there’s a name on Whois..)

@ Nick - thanks for dropping buy. I’ve seen you around the SEO world - I think on SEOMoz and probably elsewhere. I hadn’t known you were into domains! I’m guessing that there are a lot of SEOs out there who are closet domainers. You make a good point - the blog is new and I’ve delayed writing a detailed about page. I’ve always found about pages to be difficult to write! I’ll write something up over the next few days.
@Peter - thanks for dropping by! I’ve been reading your blog closely for a while now and really enjoy it. I’ve got a bit of an SEO background and I think SEOMaining is the way forward.
Hello,
DomainBits, I love it!! and I love this industry. I just started domaining this year, after 9 years driving a truck in northern az. I am desperately trying to get out.
I was doing some research for a paper I was righting at our local collage when I came across this article about Candy.com and The king himself, Rick.
After 9 months I have names like GoJunkie.com and Premoz.com and many more. I just acquired RV1.biz
Basically trying anything I can. Most of my names are on parked pages. I would love to have them all developed. I spend a lot of time on Godaddy’s auction site, however good names are few and far between. I am 42 and a half, I like when little kids say, and a half.
Married, no kids. Just lost our four legged baby of 16 years she was the best dog ever.
Any ideas or advise is welcome, I am not very good at this industry, but I am learning and I love it. Sure would like to figure out how to get to the convention in Vegas, Feb. That would be spectacular.
I already have DomainBits in my favorites, and look forward to learning every day.
Happy Domaining!!

Welcome Andy. Your blog looks great - I’ve just added it to my feed reader.
Hi - I’m Mike Maddaloni, and though I started buying domain names a decade ago, it is probably in the last year I started learning from others and have entered this sector.
I am going to DomainFest in January - hope to see others there!

My partner and I started a business last year to test some Internet marketing concepts. It turned into a domain business and our blog turned into a blog about monetizing web assets, i.e. domaining. Our focus is on the development side of domaining including high relevance content, SEO and SEM.
Enjoying our entry into this fascinating business- we feel like we accidentally got to California just as the Gold Rush was getting started!
Welcome Martin! Some interesting thoughts on you blog.
Hi Mike - I already know who you are. Welcome!
I heard about your blog from Rubber Duck (excellent IDN interview). I have been domaining since 1996, and only recently began selling recently through Moniker and other venues. Back then it was easy to pick up great names at reg fee. During the last 12 years it has become increasingly difficult to find good domains for hand reg, so I decided to expand my horizons with IDN. I always enjoy a good blog, so I am looking forward to coming back. As soon as I finish this message I am going to go read some of your other articles!
Welcome Marc! Wow, wish I had been on the scene in 1996. I was too busy studying for exams back then…
I came to your site after seeing your Interview with my CEO on a Google search I did. I have been with Register since 2001. I am also a blogger on the industry.
Check me out as well!

Hi - I’m Jude. I live in the NH Seacoast and have been in domains for a few years now. Lets see - its 12 degrees Farenheit, and motorcycling is FAR away! (3-4 mos. minimum).
Sean Stafford and I just launched a how-to book written to make “Joes” into “Pros” when it comes to domain investing. The book is called: Domain Graduate (http://DomainGraduate.com) and we’re very proud of it! Its an audio book and e-book. My favorite domain is http://www.SeacoastAle.com - its mine, one being developed currently for the region I live in. I’m going to read more about IDNs. They were a big problem and even bigger opportunity when I was at Sedo and we created the IDN converter.

Hi Jude - thanks for dropping by. I’m up in Canada, so that doesn’t sound too cold
It certainly makes sense for domainers to read as much as they can. I’ll check into your book in more detail soon.
