For Domain Investors To Be Thankful for this Thanksgiving — 2 Things

Keep your chin up. The year will finish strong.

This year has been one of ups and downs for domain name investors, but I have reason to be thankful as we move past Thanksgiving into the final month of the year.

1. The Yahoo-Bing transition is complete and revenue is stabilizing.

True, not all Yahoo advertisers made the move to Microsoft. But with the holidays here even more advertisers will pay attention to advertising on Bing. In the long run this partnership will be good for domain name parking.

2. Afternic’s partnerships with eNom and Moniker will be implemented next month.

This will give domainers the ability to list their domain names in the registration paths of major end-user domain name registrars. Until now you had to have your domains at Network Solutions or Register.com to get this access. If the results are anything similar to with GoDaddy’s Premium Listings service, this is going to be a home run for domainers.
