Two New Domain Industry Websites Launch and Two Existing Sites Unveil New Features

Over the past couple of weeks I've received several notes letting me know about the launch of some new domain industry websites as well as the addition of new features at existing sites that you might like to check out. Everyone likes to save money so Gazi Cotak's new 

DomainPromoCodes.com site will likely find a place on a lot of bookmark lists. DomainPromoCodes tracks discount codes offered by more than 20 of the world's largest registrars. Cotak said they manually check the codes to make sure they are working and frequently monitor them once they have been

added to the site.  You can also set up alerts so you will be notified when your favorite registrar releases a new discount code. DomainPromoCodes also allows users to share, rate and comment on registrar promo codes. 

Another useful new resource is DomainGroovy.com - a site that categorizes and rates the best ways to find domain names. The list of links on the site are divided into eight categories. You will find sites offering  the Best 

Tools, sites that allow you to search Available & Expired domain lists, services that Generate names from random words or synonyms you enter, a similar section that has sites that take your Keyword List and create names and a Type It category where you type in a domain name and the sites search multiple extensions to find the ones that are available for registration.

There is also an Auction & Paid category where you will find registered domains that are up for sale, a section listing Domain Forums and another featuring Brand Name Generators that can create brand names for your business. 

Existing sites aren't standing still either. In December we told you about a new premium domain sales site, SimpleDomains.com, that was launched by industry heavyweight Andrew Miller who was featured in our September 2005 Cover Story. At the time almost all of the domains offered on the site were owned by Miller's company but he said he might eventually open listings up to others. He has just done that but Miller noted, "We are being very selective, only listing generic dotcom names that meet the criteria of our owned names." You can submit your domains for consideration here

Miller also writes a blog you might like to check out. His most recent post (as of this writing) features a video from a panel discussion he participated in at the Milken Global Conference held last month in Los Angeles.

You may also recall that in January we told you about a new domain sales site launched by T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Co-Founder Howard Neu and Danny Pryor at BestDomainsWebsite.com. They started off with a low fixed price format, but, in case you think the price isn't low enough, they've just introduced a Make Offer button. The seller can accept or decline your offer. In the near future the site plans to add a counter offer option to make it possible to conduct extended negotiations.

Speaking of Howard and Danny, they will both be featured on the next installment of Owen Frager's Domain Success webinar series Tuesday night (May 25) at 9pm (U.S. Eastern Time). Danny, who is a veteran radio broadcaster will interview Howard (who I have often referred to as the domain industry's Renaissance Man due to his broad array of talents). In a session titled Howard Neu Bares All (I'm wondering if Howard's wife Barbara signed off on this!), Danny said Howard will 

share what he knows about "Internet Law, Domain Investing, PPC, CPA, Development, his business partner Rick Schwartz, Spaceballs, and much more!" Sounds like listeners are in for a very enlightening hour. You can register for your free seat at the webinar here.
