    Thank you Michael, Mike, Andrew and Page. Another great show again. About exact match domains, SEO still said the words in URLs are more important than in contents, even words in URLs are able to made by subdomains and from Title of the posts too.

    Great show!
    I want to ask the Sherpas a question about IDN domains.

    For example, The domain name よう.com witch mean “You” in Japanese is getting some direct typing traffic.

    Is there a market for IDNS.com and / or .idns?

    I wanted to reach out and thank Michael Cyger, Michael Berkens, Andrew Allemann & Page Howe. Not only for answering my questions in today’s interview, but your time, support and knowledge helping others. Michael, thank you for creating such a great platform/resource for people like myself getting a lot more serious in domain investing. You do an outstanding job. You even have taken time out of your day to reply back to my emails with answers and/or resources I can use. You’ve been a big help.

    I look forward to the day that my skills and portfolio are strong enough to join your team and return the favor.

    Thank you,

    Hi Mike and Sherpas

    Thanks again for taking the time to discuss the industry. Thanks for asking my question Mike and for the sherpas detailed thoughts.

    What strikes me is that the line between an exact match and a brandable is very fine, at least in my mind. Not sure I can fully distinguish between the two fully.

    Like one of the other commenters I too have way over priced a domain. I often reach out to a potential buyer, get an email asking ‘how much’ then ask for way too much forgetting that it cost me $8 to register….then a few days later (too impatient) I drastically drop my price and get no response. oops

      :) Happens to all of us.

      Thanks for watching and commenting, John.

      The difference between a valuable domain name and one that is not valuable can be a single letter or dash. I don’t think it’s a very fine difference. What question do you have?

    I appreciate the show and look forward to it, but It is very frustrating trying to watch when there is poor outdoor connection with lots of noise etc. like Page’s today.
