Customize Domaining.com for a better experience.
Ever since Google took away the best RSS reader, I’ve started to rely more on Domaining.com to see what other bloggers are writing about.
And, although not everyone is aware of this, you can customize Domaining.com kind of like an RSS reader so that it only shows blogs that interest you.
I bring this up now because I’ve seen some complaints about the “Reporter” posts in Domaining.com. These are sometimes not related to domains. If you don’t like them, you can remove them.
You’ll need to log in to manage your feeds. Once you do that, click on “Feeds” at the top:
You can then uncheck the box next to feeds you don’t want to display:
It even shows how many people have blocked certain feeds. Of course, you wouldn’t dare block Domain Name Wire, would you? I need to hunt down the 17 people who have ๐
AbdulBasit.com says
The most blocked feeds are The Frager factor and DomainGang.
I have got 5 people blocked my feed ๐
Francois says
I sell you the names of the blockers … lol

Do I need to waste money for those haters ๐
Francois says
I was kidding but you are right ๐

If you are not interested in reading about external factors that affect the domain market, this industry probably isn’t for you. Just saying. ๐
Andrew Allemann says
While these are important, sometimes the reporter ones can be off base. For example, there was an article about The Domain, a mall just to the North of my office. So I can see why people would want to opt out of those.
Francois says
Yes, I need to review this reporter feed and introduce negative keywords to better filter unrelated content. For exemple “public domain” is rarely related to domain names. Let see if I take a moment to do this.
Thanks for shaking me Andrew!

Less than 10% of DomainGang traffic comes from Domaining.com headlines. So the number of blockers for any feed don’t mean anything practically. There are still hundreds of daily visitors from organic searches, direct type-ins, direct RSS subscribers and social media.
Bloggers that write content to suit an RSS aggregator are doing it wrong. Even funnier is when they address an audience directly. ๐ “Hey guys!”
Francois says
There is around 40K registered members so for any blogger the percentage of times one could be filtered is insignificant.
Everybody don’t have your success nor market their blog, don’t blame the few who get a huge traffic from domaining.com and are happy to address this audience as their.
Acro says
Agreed. In fact, the more blocks, the more successful the blog. ๐ But you need to start sending out the newsletter daily ๐
