When you’re on a healthy diet to achieve or maintain a good physical shape, you don’t need any deviation from the plan.

For example, any alcohol, salt, dips, fatty food, soda is a no-no.

However, there is one exception: you can break the rules when you achieve a good domain sale.

When you achieve two good domain sales in one day though, then go all out: have pizza AND soda.

Heck, throw in some hot wings as well.

I’m just about to finish my Papajohn’s; more news about the two nice domain sales on Monday’s DNJournal

When it comes down to receiving payments from Sedo, either for the monthly PPC revenue or for domain sales, nothing beats the speed and efficiency of direct deposit (ACH).

This is the fastest method to receive your money from Sedo, faster than Paypal, check or bank wire. With the ACH option – that requires a special routing number from your bank – the cash is there within 24 hours of Sedo issuing payment.

Sedo has streamlined the process even further, by combining payments.

For example, if your monthly PPC revenue payment is due at the same time as the proceeds from a domain sale, it will arrive in a combined transaction.

Of course, this will save Sedo a couple of dollars; just be aware of that, in case you are looking for a separate transaction that just so happens to be already in your bank account

Have a great Friday and expect many more domain sales next week as the domain market is truly on an upturn.

I don’t have a domain portfolio the size and caliber of Frank Schilling’s.

While I’m selective with my domain acquisitions over the years, I never went all out like Frank did. My domain portfolio is compact and manageable, consisting primarily of single word, dictionary .com/.net/.org domains, two-word .com compounds and creative or marketable .com’s.

Overall, I don’t invest in exotic TLDs but I made an exception last year when I registered about 50 .co domains, primarily geoDomains and 3-letter .co’s. Some of those I sold, others I kept for development.

It was one of those .co domains that gave me the opportunity to wonder about Domain Administration’s selling prices; the .com is owned by Frank Schilling and I just sold the .co

The buyer quoted the .com owners as “greedy” for wanting 5 figures for the domain; this gave me the opportunity to sell them the .co at a nice price that further increased my ongoing trust in the Colombian TLD.

Those of you that are skeptical about renewing their .co domains in July, be very observant of your traffic stats; there are plenty of people or companies ready to snatch them if you let them drop.
