It's proving hard to transfer Moniker's success to these non-domainer conferences. Kelly, hopefully this Affiliate Summit auction do better than the last one.

The affiliate businesses pay a lot of money to Google to rank on their keyword searches, so maybe that knowledge will translate into some buying from this group. All I know is that I wouldn't want my competitor to own the keyword search for my product or service. I have some great domains in the auction, I will let you all know how it shakes out.

I still think Moniker is the best way to get top dollar for domains quickly, but I want to give them time to sort things out. Part of the reason results from the last auction were 'mediocre' in my mind was that there was no time to research, line up financing, etc. @ 26 Kelly – I personally have stopped submitting domains for auctions until ‘the air clears’.

The Affiliate Auction begins at 3:00pm on Monday and is now 5pm cst on Friday and the auction list is not out.... No possibility for a domain owner to know if their property will be up for auction, and no time for us or them to do any decent publicity on the domains. Also, what possible buyer has any chance to do research on any names they might be interested in? It is already the weekend, and everyone headed to the Summit now has a million things to do before they get there. How do you research domains 10,000 feet in the air with no internet connection??? I called Moniker, once again, a few hours ago and the rep that answered is just as befuddled. Their commission hinges on the same things that sales rely on - bidders! Another interesting tidbit: no one is mentioning this! All quiet on the domain front. Is anybody else wondering what is going on?
