Ten Bullets from the recently concluded TRAFFIC West 2008…
Transparency: the theme of the show. Sessions attended by impassioned domainers. The Board meeting emphasized customer service and response procedures for PPC downtime.
Fusu premiered as the domain “stock exchange” where you can list 45% of your domain for sale to the public.
Bido.com launched. One domain per day, minimum $8,000 value – some guarantees as to sales price. Founders Sahar Sahid (TheConceptulist.com) & Darren Cleveland (Recall Media Group).
Bido takes over DnZoom.com. Who knew? Objective is to have simplification in management and auctioning of domains. Big Party at TAO in The Venetian Hotel.
TRAFFIC DOWN UNDER promoted with gift giveaways including a boomerang won by this author (in fairness he asked domainer Kina Merdinian to use the power of positive thinking so he’d win – and he did!). No details are yet posted, but Dan Warner talked about fascinating events and activities that are planned in beautiful Australia.
The Real “GoDaddy Girls” Kimberly Darwin and Tess Diaz schooled Rick Schwartz and I that (a) GD has reps for “Executive Accounts” who will perform all sorts of management requests including (b) lifting the dreaded 90-day lock, and that (c) all GD domains come with a free email account.
TRAFFIC East to be held in Orlando, $800 discount offered to Vegas attendees for on-the-spot signup.
Jim McCann from 1-800-flowers.com moves and cracks up the audience in the Keynote.
TrafficZ sponsors a pricey conference-wide bash (again) with apps. + drinks.
