I’m A Guru?: Wait Until You See Who Owns The Newest Blog Aggregator Gurus.com

2010 March 10
by MHB

I just literally stumbled across  a new blog aggregation service called Gurus.com which is covering the domain industry along with blogs of some other industries.  The site is using the Slogan; “one site, all the gurus”

Of course most of you are familiar with Domaining.com and NameBee.com which have been serving the domain community quite well as blog aggregators.

Gurus.com is categorizing domain blogs as: “Web Development and Domains Gurus”

The only blogs currently covered by Gurus.com in that category are:  TheDomains.com, ElliotsBlog.com, DNJournal.comDomainNameNews.comTheFragerFactor.com and the Conceptualist.com.

I don’t know about any of the other guys, but no one from Gurus.com contacted me to ask if they could include our posts in their service and no one contacted me to tell me they were doing so.  However seeing who owns it I’m willing to forgive him (read below).

Gurus.com which says it is in Beta does not currently contain any advertising.

Other Industries currently being covered by Gurus.com are:

“Financial Gurus”

“Internet Marketing Gurus”

“Pro Blogging Gurus”

“Productivity Gurus”

Now back to whom owns the domain Gurus.com?

None other than Ammar Kubba of Thought Convergence and Trafficz fame.

However this is a personal project of Mr. Kubba.

Reached for comment Mr. Kubba said about the site:

“”I envision a site that eventually aggregates blogs / information sites from experts across all fields, i.e., financial gurus, domain gurus, plumbing gurus, etc., along with a social component that allows people to comment and contribute their experiences, knowledge and opinions”

Sounds like a great plan.

I know domaining.com tried a few weeks ago to add in some non-domain blogs into its feed but got some push back since many mainstream blogs publish can publish 10 posts a day or more.

Gurus.com is laid out in sections (changed by a drop down menu) so if you just want to see just the domain blogs or just the financial blogs you can, thereby allowing all of these to co-exist without overwhelming each other.

I wish Ammar the best of luck in this new project.

Now to the really important part.

I assume the honor of being named a “Guru”, like the Nobel Prize, comes with a large cash award and a nice trophy.

Ammar you have my address.

    Wasn’t that Sai’s old site that he tried to promote on Rick’s board?

    I’ll take the blame for that one Mike, as Gurus.com was originally my project, that has now been passed to Ammar to take to the next level :) I thought I’d emailed everyone, but perhaps it never got through. Anyway, I hope you don’t mind being one of the Gurus! :)

    Hi Owen,

    No, it was always mine. I think Sai uses WebsiteGuru.com.

    The website theme and the great domain name are an excellent match. The organizational structure is also very smart so people can zero in on one field at a time or follow them all. Easy to use, intuitive interface. Hope it is a big hit for Ammar.

    When one of the major ppc executive is putting his effort into development, I better take notice of the trend.

    I’ve been checking out gurus.com for the last year now..

    Mike, your check is in the mail (along with your trophy)… ;-)

    Thank you all for your kind words and good wishes. I have some big ideas for gurus.com, but it’s going to take time to see those aspirations transformed into reality. My brother (and a team that he’s putting together) will be developing and managing gurus.com, as well as several other projects. I will continue to focus my time and energy on Thought Convergence and growing our core businesses, TrafficZ, DomainTools and Aftermarket.com.

    In the mean time, if anybody has any comments, questions or suggestions, please feel free to contact me directly… I’d love to hear from you.
