John over at DNXpert has been working hard the last couple months. Not only has DNXpert been built up even more he has added quite a bit to the experience and now has an awesome domain forum where users can interact better than just comments. If you have any interest in domaining at all then you should make DNXpert a regular stop.

Anyway, on top of all the cool new features at the site/forum, John has found time to put together another big contest (you can read about his last huge contest on DotDriven). I’ve known about it for a while now but have been slacking and only getting to post this now even though it’s last minute. So sorry to John for late post as I know part of it was to promote the contest and not all that valuable posting last minute. But at least you’ll get longterm link love ;). Besides, for those that miss this contest because of my last minute post about it, DNXpert is bound to have another great contest in the future so get on over there and keep up-to-date yourself ;). Better yet make sure I know about it too lol…been really busy stuck offline a lot lately, unfortunately.

One of the task to earn extra “entries” was to write a blog post about which prize I’d like most. You can check out all the great prizes and sponsors on the DNXpert contest page.

Although I could use plenty of the great prizes, the one/s I could really use most now is one of the actual cash prizes. Unforuntately a major part of why I have been stuck offline so much lately is I’ve been really tapped out of cash. I recently got married (yay) but also now have a ton of bills (boo). And my online stuff just isn’t cutting it anymore. I mean now I have to actually “provide” and plan a future so I’ve been kind of hurtin. So any of the cash prizes would help a lot.

But regardless of who offered what for the contest a huge thanks to all the great sponsors and especially to John for yet another great contest!

How many domains do you have just sitting around or parked and not earning much? Have you wanted to put up sites but just can’t find the time to develop a ton of sites? What about setting up a quick and easy review site using WordPress and then let your visitors do all the content for you?
This would work best with either generic product related domains or geo-targeted domains but could probably work with a lot of different types of domains. Of course the more related the keywords to the domain the better. Continue reading →

Yes, Market Leverage is everywhere lately. Not only have they been doing their own “regular” promotion but they have been sending out TONS of gift packs for bloggers to give to their readers and all seem to be getting these prizes about the same time and many doing the same type of contest. Nick Throlson  is making it easy on us and just wants us to join the feed and write about the contest. No silly points or anything ;).

You can find out more about his contest on the contest post.

For those that don’t know, there are a few great blogs that do pretty much the same thing as we do here at TalkDots…provide some of the better available domains that we find. Some of the other blogs put out much bigger, and more frequent, list as well as post a lot more of the related industry news and such. BTW, when I put up this blog I thought it was an original idea and thought I was doing well helping others with some ok names…only later did I realize there were a good handful of other great sites but also who had a lot more cool available domain list. Now I have to deal with my own addiction and try to avoid all the names I find on my own but also a lot of good names from these other sites Continue reading →
