I hope all of our U.S. readers had a relaxing and enjoyable Labor Day weekend. I took the name of the holiday a little too literally and spent most of the 3-day holiday weekend working. The results are in our latest monthly newsletter that went out to opt-in subscribers Saturday

and a new feature article about David Kesmodel, the author or The Domain Game, that was published yesterday. I think you will find both of those pieces well worth reading. 

In the story on Kesmodel, the author talked about the string of obstacles he had to overcome to get his landmark book about the domain industry into print. The Wall Street Journal reporter told us how he managed to keep the book alive after the original publisher bailed out, what he would do differently if he had a second chance and what the domain industry can do to clean up its image.

Our new newsletter started out as a preview of this month's T.R.A.F.F.I.C. conference in New York, but quickly grew into something bigger. While talking with us

Author of the The Domain Game

about the show's agenda and "Beyond PPC" theme, T.R.A.F.F.I.C.'s outspoken co-founder Rick Schwartz sounded off on what he sees as a series of major threats facing the domain industry.

Schwartz laid into cyber squatters, PPC companies, registrars and even "show fatigue." Whether or not you plan to be in New York for the Sept. 23-26 show, the points that Schwartz raises are thought provoking and worth discussing (as many are currently doing in threads at the three major domain forums; DNForum, NamePros and DomainState).

One other note today, Due to the Labor Day holiday in the U.S. Monday, this week's sales column will be published one day later than usual - on Wednesday night (Sept. 3). We normally receive sales data reports from the leading aftermarket venues each Monday, then write the column on Tuesday for publication that night. With the U.S. based companies closed Monday it was necessary to shift the production schedule accordingly.
