Here's the The Lowdown from DN Journal,
updated daily
to fill you in on the latest buzz going around the domain name industry. 

The Lowdown is compiled by DN Journal Editor & Publisher Ron Jackson.

Sedo's First Ever Two-Character .Com and .Net Domain Auction Gets Underway Thursday

If you are looking for an ultra-short domain name Sedo.com will have a lot of them to choose from in their first ever Two-Character Auction event that gets underway at 1pm (U.S. Eastern time) on Thursday (November 5). The week-long auction of rare .com and .net 

domains will end at the same time on November 12. The domains scheduled to go on the block include NL.com, RO.com, KH.com, 64.com, 81.com, 91.com, CD.net and GD.net to name just a few. Sedo is still accepting top two-character domains for this auction. 

If you have domains that qualify you can email Sedo Broker Matt Rosebrook at [email protected]. Qualifying sellers can also apply directly through their Sedo accounts.

In other auction news, two extended online auction events tied to last week's T.R.A.F.F.I.C. New York conference are entering their final hours. The Moniker.com/SnapNames auction will end tomorrow (Wednesday, Nov. 4) at 3:15pm (U.S. Eastern time). You can review their catalog of approximately 2,000 domains here and follow the bidding action here

The Rick Latona auction will be ending Thursday (November 5) at 1:30pm (U.S. Eastern time) and they have lowered many reserve prices to entice more buyers. You can review their sales list here

Speaking of T.R.A.F.F.I.C. New York, we are currently working on our comprehensive conference review article and will be publishing it this weekend.

One other note today, Francois Carillo, who operates the popular domain news aggregation site, Domaining.com, has rolled out two more free domain-related sites that you may also find useful; ClosingAuctions.com and  Valuate.com. ClosingAuctions.com does just what it says, keeping track of auctions that are about to close at the industry's top venues. But it also adds value with color coded bars for each domain indicating whether, in the site's view, the name at its current price represents a good deal, is at least interesting of should be regarded with caution.

Value is also at the heart of the Valuate.com offering. Enter your domain names and this site will return a variety of statistics for each name as well as their appraisal value for each domain. As I have said many times in the past, I put very little stock in domain appraisals - regardless of whether they are generated automatically or manually by human beings. However, it is still entertaining to check out the stats and values returned by Valuate.com to see how closely they mirror your own guesstimates.
