Domain names are now listed in lowercase to make it easier to tell Zeros from Ohs.

RSS Feeds coming VERY SOON (the code is done, I just need to work on some User Interface issues.

Registered members will have access to a top secret PR verification tool. You will find gems that no one else knows are there.

I received a few complaints about auction end times. They have been fixed, and should be accurate. If you encounter any more issues please email me the domain name, and I will try to track down the issue.

A note on "Hiding" domains.
Members have the ability to hide listings. For $5 Buy it now (BIN) listing, this can only be done via their automatic "hit" list, and only lats until 2pm EST. For Auctions, this can be done via either the hit list, or manually once you have logged in. Hiding auctions lasts forever, and members can hide up to 5 a day.

Members can see all domains, weather hidden or not, once they log in. The hidden domains, however, are not highlighted as being hidden (Would you want everyone paying special attention to the domains you had hidden? No, I didn't think so).

Members hot list emails are 3 days old now. I haven't received any direct feedback, but based on the number of domains being bought over the same period, you seem to approve! We will be improving the emails after we clean up some other high priority issues.

Members should have gotten their first email alerts today. Theses will be automatic from now on as soon as the data is ready in the morning. The emails will get prettier as time goes on, but the important information is there. If you would rather not get emails, or want to change what information you do get, just email us and we'll get ya set up.

As always, feedback is encouraged.

I'd like to thank the members that have joined already, and remind those of you who have joined, but have not emailed me your domain name criteria that you are missing out on an important function.

Manually hiding auctions is now implemented. Once you login you will see the "Hide" option next to every auction. Currently you may hide up to 5 Auctions a day.. The hide feature is permanent for as long as the Auction is listed on the site, and the only people who can see the data are other paid members.

I am looking for a good, reasonably priced designer to do an overhaul of dopedomains. If anyone is interested please send me a link to your portfolio. This will be visual design only, of a single HTML file, a bunch of icons, a banner, and a single CSS file. I will make the design fit with our features.

Well if you are serious about making money in the domain name business and want to catch domains before they drop, membership should be a no brainier with these benefits:

• Optional daily exclusive email of the "Best Deals of the day" every morning.


• Optional daily exclusive email based on your specific criteria. (PR, Hits, Verified PR, Yahoo Backlinks, length, CVCV what ever). If the list is specific and targeted, items emailed to you will automatically be hidden from the public site for 4 hours.


• Ability to hide Auction items from non-members.(Buy Now Items can only be hidden for 4 hours)


• Ability to see all auctions, including the ones hidden by other members


• Automatic auction reminders (coming soon)


• Access to wholesale auction lists (ie bazaar.afternic.com) with metrics and alerts. (coming soon)


• Limited memberships available. Whats the use of a exclusive email if 10,000 others have received the same information? We will only allow 25 active memberships at any time.

Subscriptions are going to be $100/mo (if you can't make 5x-10x that from these features, and this data, membership isn't for you..

The purpose of the dopedomains blog is several fold.

1) To keep you, the users, updated on what we are working on for dopedomains.
2) To host articles on the domain name business. How to choose a name, how to research a name, and how to tell the difference between a $10 domain name, and a $1000 domain name.
3) To let you know about new features, both free, and members.
4) To let you know about special marketing efforts, and how you can help.
