The Lowdown



Feb. 19, 2008 Post

Here's the The Lowdown from DNJournal.com! Updated daily to fill you in on the latest buzz going around the domain name industry!

Compiled by Ron Jackson (Editor/Publisher)

 

The T.R.A.F.F.I.C. West 2008 domain conference got underway last night at the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas. Several hundred people were on hand for the welcoming cocktail party

that was followed by a special low or no reserve live domain auction at 8pm. Moniker.com conducted the special auction that served as an appetizer for their main live auction event coming up Wednesday afternoon (Feb. 20) at 3:30pm (U.S. Pacific Time). Just a few dozen names were put on the block in the warm up event last night, but those produced almost $200,000 in sales. The domains that sold included Cabinets.net ($20,000), Stereotypes.com ($19,000), Snowmobiles.net ($17,000), GrandCayman.net ($13,000) and CentralAmerica.net ($12,000)

The first full day of the T.R.A.F.F.I.C. conference gets underway at 9:45am (local time) today and will include an 11:15am panel discussion on Transparency in the Domain Industry which is the theme of this show. Other scheduled highlights will be tonight's keynote speech from 1-800-Flowers.com founder Jim McCann, followed by TrafficZ.com's official T.R.A.F.F.I.C. party.

In another event after last night's auction in Las Vegas, the co-founders of Bido.com (Sahar Sarid, Jeff Bhavnanie, Darren Cleveland and myself) hosted the new company's official launch party at the Tao Nightclub. The first of a wide range of domain owner oriented services that Bido plans to roll out over the next 12 months was unveiled last night - a new live online auction format that will feature just one domain a day to give sellers the maximum possible exposure for their high profile domains (and the lowest sales commission in the industry - 8%). As a new 

educational feature each domain will also be accompanied by comments from a panel of experts who will provide personal opinions of that day's domain. The Bido auctions are to begin when the site launches Feb. 29.

In another step aimed at building and assembling the best possible suite of domain investor services, Bido announced that the groundbreaking domain management platform DNZoom.com that we recently profiled and the team that developed that free product have both been brought under the Bido.com umbrella. The company believes that move will ensure it has the right people and technology in place to roll out the additional services planned for the months ahead.
