Pre-Bidding Is Open for T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Auction, DOMAINfest Posts Final Agenda and Mocus.com Launches Affiliate Program Paying 50% on Domain Sale Profits

I have a few quick notes to pass along before I head off to Las Vegas for the T.R.A.F.F.I.C. conference that opens Thursday. The first item is about one of the show's main events - the live domain auction that is scheduled to run from 4-7pm (U.S. Pacific Time) on Friday (Jan. 22). Latonas.com just announced that they have opened pre-bidding for the sale. If you want to bid you will need to register here and it would be a good idea to do it at least 24 hours ahead of time to allow them time to process your registration. The full auction catalog is also out and can be reviewed here. 

Three days after T.R.A.F.F.I.C. ends the DOMAINfest Global conference will get underway in Santa Monica, California. 

DOMAINfest posted their final agenda today and it is looks like another great one. The show runs Tuesday (Jan. 26) through Thursday (Jan. 28). I'll be covering both DOMAINfest and T.R.A.F.F.I.C. for you with daily posts in this column plus our usual comprehensive conference review articles after each event ends.  I will be traveling to Las Vegas tomorrow (Jan. 20) so there won't be a Lowdown post Wednesday but I'll be back with you Thursday to let you know what is going on at T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
