		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s quite ironic issuing this statement; as a web developer I am supposed to be pushing everyone around me to develop, build, create. Right? While this is true in small quantities, when a domain is truly one project that derives its potential from its owner&#8217;s imagination and vision, developing all domain names into web sites [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After reading Rick Schwartz&#8217;s latest blog post about how Google AdSense closed down his account over minisite content, I had an obvious question: why did Rick pay TENS of THOUSANDS of dollars for 10 minisites? The term &#8220;minisite&#8221; was coined as an obvious bait for the domain community, sometime in the past year and a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Revenue is severely down across the domain parking industry, as PPC companies slowly but surely pass the &#8220;benefits&#8221; of trickle-down economics to the domainers. Meanwhile, the main advertising providers, Google and Yahoo post record revenue while they&#8217;re reducing ad revenue paid to domain holders. Time to develop your domains.

		<description><![CDATA[I read a very informative and full of substance blog post today, from fellow domainer and web developer, Tia Wood. It offers a concise analysis of a strategy often overlooked by domainers, who opt to park their domains: Lead capture. Tia explains what the two basic categories of lead capture, incoming and outgoing, are about. [...]]]></description>

It is uncertain how far the pattern searcher reaches, however Carolyn from the support department mentioned that their legal department decided to remove domains that contain the name of the US political candidates, Obama and McCain.
