Chris Disspain on Monetization - Live from Traffic DownUnder 2008

Tuesday, November 18th, 2008

Chris started off by correcting some statements made by previous speakers (ouch). He didn’t have any slides prepared and thanked a number of people, including an individual that persuaded him to come to the conference as he wasn’t going to attend. In my view it was probably not the best start to a presentation to an audience of 200+ domainers. However, he did clarify a list of common misconceptions about domainers and auDA. Apparently auDA like domainers! I think I need a cuddle.

Following on, there were a number of interesting statements made under the banner of “we don’t like”. For example:

  • shoes.com.au - we expect a shoe site.
  • we don’t like mis-spellings

Registrars as a monetizer - not comfortable with that. “You should make a choice between being a registrar and a domainer is not acceptable in our world.

auDA is thinking about publishing a list of drop names. One to keep an eye on.


What The Future Holds For Domainers

Monday, March 17th, 2008

The domaining industry is still in its infancy. With that, comes a variety of issues that impact upon private domainers, domaining companies and those that feed from the industry. Some of the issues that come to mind include:

    • Lack of understanding of the industry amongst the media and the general public.
    • Introduction of legislation by governments.
    • Trademark and copyright issues.
    • Lack of active industry associations.
    • A few bad eggs….

      Over the next few weeks I’ll be discussing these issues at length and what we can do as individuals and as a group, to combat these threats.
