Ever since I’ve started reading more about the domain and domaining business, I’ve started to feel a sort of kinship with domainers. They are a lot like SEO’s - misunderstood and often vilified by the outside world - or more precisely the people who don’t understand the world of domaining or the world of SEO.
Last week Dictionary.com (bundled with 2 other sites) sold for $100 Million. This week Business.com sold for $380 Million. Both of these were built on “premium” domain names that helped them grow in ways they couldn’t have without all the type-in traffic. Frank Schilling and Rick Schwartz (2 superstar domainers) came out of hibernation recently. There’s no doubt about it, domaining is getting hot right now.
