You have took the time to research several domain name selections and you have put together a pretty decent domain name portfolio, now it’s time to sell the those domains. In this article I will define what is an end user, my methods for finding endusers and the contact methods that I use. I am by no means an expert in this field but I have had enough success with end user sales to give you a little insight. So adjust your computer chair and join me for a knowledge filled journey into the mind of a domain name salesperson. This is Part 1 in a series on this subject:
Finding An End User To Buy Your Domain Name Part 1
July 26th, 2010 
greg Are You A Fan Of Anything???? If So Your Name Is Dropping
July 23rd, 2010 greg 
There are many kinds of fans in this world. I am not talking about the kind that blow cool air your way on a hot day, I am talking about the rabid supporters of their favorite activities. Recently we had the World’s Cup to show us how many soccer fans are spread throughout the world but you don’t need to travel to South Africa to see the United States’ own soccer fans, baseball fans, basketball fans or even football fans. Now thanks to a certain domainer from Mt Dora, Florida we have hundreds of “fans” domains dropping (I wonder if he would be interested in buying my MtDora.us). The Whois says that this domainer owns 189 domains, well not anymore as they are all scheduled to drop on July 31, 2010. So if you are looking for your favorite team, city, golfer, activity or anything else take a look at the drop list for that day. Who knows, I may just pick up BuckeyesFan.us or even GolfFan.us
Who Can Register A .us Domain Name (.us Eligibility Requirements)
July 21st, 2010 greg 
So you have scanned the .us available domain name lists and you have found the perfect name to start your .us domain name portfolio, all that is left is to register that name, right??? Not exactly, there are a few eligibility requirements that must be met in order to register a .us domain name. If those requirements are not met then you run a risk of having that name taken from you without a refund or any recourse to get the name back. It’s not as hard as it sounds, keep reading…
Another .us Available Domain Name List For You To Enjoy
July 19th, 2010 greg 
I have a small stockpile of available dot us domain name lists building on my computer so I figured it would be nice to share a list with my dot us friends. These are not the latest .us drops, instead they are names that survived the first couple of weeks of June. I was really concerned that these names would never have the opportunity to be registered again nor would they ever have a chance to make an end user happy so I had to bring them back. So here they are, as usual please let me know if you enjoyed the list or if you registered anything.
Your Reward For a Hectic Week…A New .us Available Name List
July 16th, 2010 greg 
This has been such turbulent week for .us drops and I think we can all use a break. I have decided to put together a small dot us available name list from the last few days. While you may not find that powerhouse 50,000 exact search name on this list I do feel that there are some quality names on this list and some of these names can make you some money!!!
Now I Know Why They Call It A Drop List Part 2
July 15th, 2010 greg 
This is my 2nd edition of “Now I know why they call it a drop list”, in case you missed the 1st edition, don’t worry here it is. I’m not sure how well the readership enjoys these segments but it is almost therapeutic to me. I scan the drop lists manually so sometimes I can get burned out at looking for good, quality names. It is an entirely different perspective purposely looking for bad names. It also gives me an opportunity to showcase my finely tuned sarcasm (that statement in itself is sarcasm), which I keep mostly out of this blog. So sit back, relax and try to put yourself into the mindset of the original registrants of these names:
Ok people, enough is enough. Save some names for me to register
July 15th, 2010 greg 
I prefer to register dot us domain names because it is easier to acquire a great name then it is for dot com, dot net or dot org name. Or at least it was. Earlier in the week I wrote there is a lot of competition for .us drops and it hasn’t let up. Day after day I try to get my favorite names and each day I come up empty handed. Ok people, enough is enough. Save some names for me to register.
I could understand if it was premier names that are being scooped up, but they’re not. Don’t get me wrong, the premier names have always been scooped up but at least there were some scraps to chew on, now even the scraps are being devoured…and quickly.
Several .us domains in Sedo’s (Not So Great) Domains Auction
July 15th, 2010 greg There are 5 .us domains in the Sedo/Great Domains Auction. They are anything but great, there are a couple that are decent but nothing really jumps out at me. On the other hand there are a couple of .us domains that are not a part of the Sedo/Great Domains Auction and I think they are of a much better quality. Anyway, you can decide….Here are the names on auction at Sedo right now:
A Lot Of Competition These Days For Dot US Drops
July 11th, 2010 greg 
I have been following dot us drop lists very closely for a little under a year and periodically following .us drop lists for 8 months prior to that. I feel as if I have my finger to the pulse when it comes to the day to day activities of the dot us drops. I watch for what names are registered and then check the Whois to see who registered the names. Time and time again it was the same circle of people registering the names (of course with exceptions). However, a funny thing has happened in the last 30 days or so, more and different names are showing up in the Whois and the only name that I am seeing over and over again is SnapNames. There is a lot of competition these days for dot us drops and that is causing more back orders to be placed for these names.
Are You Ready For The Dropping LLL.us (47 of Them)
July 8th, 2010 greg 
The LLL.us are dropping, the LLL.us are dropping. That’s right, it’s time to break out the old acronym finder and see what creative names we can come up with. Actually, I just Google the three letters and see how many end user possibilities are on the first 3 pages. Every name on this list will be registered tomorrow but not every LLL.us is worth registering. Do you follow? Look for premium letters, pronounceable, a word or product, try the Google trick or just look for the names that I have linked to SnapNames. They are worth a back order. Some of the other names may be worth a GoDaddy back order but I would just try my luck drop catching. Here are all 47 LLL.us dropping tomorrow:
