Although they don’t consider themselves domainers, Marchex owns thousands of domain names, and the company is one of the few publicly traded domain-related companies. This morning, Marchex announced that the company is laying off 15 employees, about 4% of its workforce.
They also announced a couple of senior management changes, naming Peter Christothoulou Chief Operating [...]

When I originally announced Parking Revolution the response was phenomenal. Parking Revolution is a new service that allows you to develop your domain names into beautiful mini-sites loaded with fresh content and ready to monetize. The guys behind the scenes have been actively listening to and encouraging user feedback and putting your ideas into action!
Great New Feature Updates
- Widget creation system, that allows you to create sidebar widgets for all parked domains. This is extremely useful for creating additional advertising spots, sponsoring content, sharing links or even creating simple blogrolls.
- I used this to create a blogroll on one of my sites and already sold a link for $20 a month!
- Now there are three types of customization includes: Header, Meta and Footer. Header includes will be added right after the <body> tag, Meta includes will be added between the <head> tags and Footer includes will be added right before the closing </body> tag.
- This was my suggestion, thanks for adding header includes! I can now create a network bar and link all my Parking Rev sites together!
- Individual banner includes are now possible. This means that, instead of using the global banner includes, one of your domains can use specific includes.
- One of the most requested features, now live! Create unique AdSense code for each domain name.
- If you feel that the default content being displayed by Parking Revolution isn’t very relevant to your domain subject, you can display content imported from an RSS feed.
- Create new custom pages for any of your domain mini-sites.
Bugs Be Gone
- Google Analytics integration now works perfectly
- Performance tweaks on the entire system
- Better cache for parked domains (means they will load faster)
- Optimizations and minor bug fixes in the RSS Merging tool
- Optimizations and minor bug fixes in the Rewrite Content tool
Sign Up! Parking Revolution is amazingly only $15 per month to develop up to 100 of your domain names! I can almost guarantee it will be one of the best investments you make! Visit ParkingRevolution.com now.
In Other News…
Parking Revolution has launched a Forum, their own Blog and you can now connect with Parking Revolution on Twitter!
Send them your comments, suggestions and feature requests!
Video Demonstration
Check out my video demonstration where I do a short screencast of the admin panel, showing you a glimpse behind-the-scenes how easy it is to develop a domain with Parking Revolution.

I returned to New York last night after spending a week in California visiting Burbank and attending DomainFest Global. It always seems that each domain conference is better than the previous conference I attended. This can certainly be said about DFG. Aside from the panels (which were good), the networking opportunities were phenomenal - both [...]

Namedrive has recently announced that they created a new domain buying and selling platform named “NDX Market“.

The live domain auction is over, and I made this post regarding the auction results. 62 domains out of 200 sold for a total of $665,000. A little disappointing? I figured that with some big names at the live auction, and Domain Name Wire reporting that there are over 600 people currently at DOMAINfest, a [...]

You won’t hear it from me! Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the conference this year. I was a little late in begging the guys at Oversee.net for my media pass and my family really needs me at the moment. However, I have compiled a list of articles highlighting updates and features straight from those in attendance in Hollywood.
New DomainFest updates will be added here to the top of the list as they are published. Keep them coming!

As with most industry conferences, the first day of DomainFest Global was mostly spent catching up with old friends who I don’t get to see on a regular basis. It was good to see most people in positive spirits, and it looks like the tough economy is helping people step out of their comfort zones [...]
