My 2009 Domainer Christmas List
Now that Thanksgiving is behind us and Black Friday is leading to Cyber Monday I thought I would layout my 2009 Christmas list - Domainer edition:
1) That Halvarez no longer bids against me on Snapnames.
Oh wait, that was a carry over from last year, looks like Santa came early.
2) Domainer Peace - Starting small here but how about we have peace between .COM lovers and .Something Else lovers. Figure this is probably about as achievable as world peace but hey it is a start:)
3) iPhone Domain Research App - I want a useful domainer app for the iPhone. Something that gives me useful data on the fly, something that lets me register right then, read next item.
4) iPhone Domain Auction/Drop Catch App - Seems like one of the domain auction houses would catch on to the fact that most domainers fit into the tech world somehow and are probably wanting to use some sort of mobile app to access their service. I can tell you that I would probably spend more money if I had mobile access. Please Santa bring this one.
5) One Positive Domain Related Story - I want one mainstream story to come out that does not refer to us as cybersquatters or something worse. We had a few of these a few years back but lately it is just more negative everyday.
6) Alexa Rank Drop - OK, please Santa bring me lower Alexa rankings on all my developed sites.
7) Less Twitter Phishing In DMs - Santa, can you please bring me something to rid my Direct Messages of Twitter Phishing messages. This would be helpful to all.
Parking Revenue Per Click Revenue - Santa, now this is a big one, we really need this under the tree this year, last year this was not delivered, not sure what the elves were up to but we domainers really need a lift here. Please no more bundles of coal under the tree, we need some gold, or at least copper this year.
9) More Hours In A Day - Santa, I know you get this one a lot, but now that we have domain research, Twitter, Facebook, and everything else we really need a few more hours. I do own MoreHoursInADay.com but it has not helped. Something Santa, even one more hour would help.
10) One Word .Com - Ok, now Santa, this one is tough, I want a one word .COM that gets enough type in traffic to actually matter, not a one word that gets 20 type ins a day, I am talking Rick Schwartz or Frank Schilling level here. If you could just maybe have auto renew turned off on one that would be great, put this in the stocking so my kids do not shake it. Oh, one more thing, preferrably with a pay per click above 10 dollars, that would be GREAT!
Thanks Santa, I am leaving extra cookies and milk this year since this is a tough list but I know you can do it.
