We didn’t put a lot of effort in to singling out domains or sending newsletters with specific domains, but I had a few good months with Snap too . . . all it takes is one big spender.

Yes for me to put up a post once a month highlighting some good domains at Snapnames was worth a $1K.

Michael not sure why you were knocking me, I agree its nonsense but was putting forth a possible scenario for the company.

I never pulled out specific names like you did Michael with all of those affiliate links. It looked like a lot of work to me….to add your affiliate code to each and every hyperlink. I mean, was it even worth the $1,000 a month?

I do hyperlink SnapNames with affiliate code when I write about it, though. Doesn’t amount to much, though.

SnapNames is greedy, which is going to cost them the whole business!

Man, Snapnames needs new guidance, period. This is a lame move, and it seems every move they make (or don’t make), just keeps pushing them further and further down the ladder of interest from domainers. My Snapnames banner ad will be coming off my blog shortly.

Don’t say I didn’t warn them 20 times… (no lie). It looks like the accountants have finally sealed the fate of Oversee’s success by dictating the company’s interest… the biggest mistake of any large company before they fall.

I hate to say this because I’m a huge SnapMon fan, but they continue to do counter-intuitive moves and ignore my suggestions and many other snapname users tips.

Who IS in charge at Snapnames?

Sure I was making around $1K a month before, and $250 I guess after the change, but no one is going to promote the new program, meaning everyone is going to make less including snapnames

Here is Scenario #3

Rick Schwartz an accomplished domainer does not watch every expired domain auction (which in fact he does not) and sees a post on a great domain expiring on my blog, that he would otherwise not know about, licks on the link, bids on the auction and spends $20K to buy the domain.

Without my post he would never have known about and would never had bid on.

This is actually much more realistic than your two examples and there are tons more.

Bottom line snapnames move is going to cost them business in the long run.

Second try: Anyone made any money with the old program?
