category being highlighted is Real
Estate which gets a
dedicated page listing several dozen
domains ranging in price from $500 -
$5,000. Sedo said the spotlight
pages are sent to the general media, to
their domainer contacts and are featured
in the company's monthly newsletter. For
exceptional domains they also plan to
incorporate banners for added exposure.
Sedo
has already selected the categories for
their next three Industry Spotlights. In
August it will be Gambling
domains. September will be
devoted to Pharmaceutical domains
and the October list will feature
Dating/Relationship domains.
If
you own domains that relate to any of
their upcoming industry spotlights, you
can send |
New
Sedo Industry Spotlight
feature
will highlight domains from
specific categories every month. |

On
Friday we ran an item
about another new feature coming to Sedo
next month, a Price Suggestion Tool
meant to give sellers some guidance on
how much to ask for domains they put up
for sale on the Sedo platform. We didn't
have an exact release date for
that tool in our post but we saw a release
on Sedo's site today that says the Price
Suggestion Tool is scheduled to go live
next Monday, August 3.

Afilias,
the .info registry has
also introduced a useful new
feature for those who want to
find the best available
registration prices for
.info domains. The registry now
maintains a dedicated "deals"
page that aggregates
all of the current special
offers and sales that various
registrars are running for .info
domain names. |
|
You
can also have the deal
information sent to you by
subscribing to the registry's RSS
feed. There is even
a widget available for Facebook
and iGoogle users to help
them keep track of registrar
deals. Authorized .info registrars interested in
submitting their deals profile
can contact Afilias for more
information.
I
would like to see all of
the registries roll out a
similar feature - it could save
domain pros hundreds of dollars
annually in new registration
fees and generate a lot of new
business for registrars that are
running special price promotions
to attract customers. |
