Sales Should Be Atributed to the Correct Website

Regarding domain name sales reports I noticed AfternicDLS gets credit for more sales than deserved. For example, I personally purchased a good health related dot-org domain last week but it was listed in DNjournal.com as being sold by AfternicDLS (even though Afernic.com had nothing to do with the process). It appears credit for many of the sales in both DNjournal and in other media too are often attributed to Afternic when the BuyDomains landing page was responsible for the sale, having nothing to do with Afternic’s name.

The name above and several others I have purchased this year were always a direct result of typing on the domain name and seeing the BuyDomains landing page. The landing page has the BuyDomains phone number at the top announcing the name is for sale and inviting a phone call to the BuyDomans toll-free number, or clicking the link for more details or making an online purchase it goes to the BuyDomains.com website, with Afternic not mentioned on the web-page from what I can see. In fact, I don’t believe Afternic is mentioned at all during the sales and ordering process which appears to be done only under the name BuyDomains.com

Of course I realize they are both divisions of NameMedia.com but it seems like the Afternic.com website gets undeserved credit for far more sales than warranted and greater marketing benefit than is due them. In fact, I would be willing to bet BD landers are responsible for many sales, especially to end-users and higher priced domains) compared to Afternic which is believed to have a lot of sales mostly to domainers and resellers.

The reason we mention this is that Afternic.com is obviously getting more marketing and advertising credit plus greater overall publicity than justly deserved for domain sales. On a more personal note, I dislike the Afternic.com web site which has been riddled with various bugs for ages, lacks certain important features such as bulk operations, and unfortunately has offered poor support for a long time). In fact I removed my domains from there some time ago.

Fox News TV Anchors’ Surprising Poor Knowledge

I always find it amazing how dumb some people in the media appear to be. You would think to be able to achieve a position as a TV co-anchor on a major city (the 5th largest city in the U.S.) TV News channel that person would require better than average general intelligence plus more than average knowledge of current events and recent world history.

Was watching Fox News (Channel 10) and the three news anchors were discussing nuclear weapons and guessing which nations have the most nuclear bombs since North Korea and their long-range missile testing was in the news this week. The two obvious answers of course are either the U.S. or Russia, with China probably 3rd on the short list. However, news desk co-anchor Alexis DelChiaro volunteered in her opinion it was North Korea who had the most. How unknowledgable can Alexis be!

How stupid is that answer from a Fox News co-anchor? How did Alexis manage to get that excellent job in the first place? So many smart people are unemployed due to the economy but “Alexis DelChiaro” is somehow a Fox news anchor. She must have impressed someone a lot during the interview. Look at her incredible good looks in the photo below to help understand why. This only reinforces the dumb blonde stereotype. As a side-note, Alexis DelChiaro’s husband is Sean Marshall, a pitcher for the Chicago Cubs

N Korea is in the media a lot because of their recent nuclear weapons pursuit and in fact they have very few nuclear bombs (estimated at no more than one ot two) and even then it is not verified but merely assumed they may have a few at most (if they even have any at all). That compares to many 1000s both Russia and ther U.S. each have going back more than 60 years.

This is her bio from the Fox News 10 website: “FOX 10 AZAM Anchor. Alexis DelChiaro is a member of the FOX 10 morning team, co-anchoring “FOX 10 Arizona Morning” weekdays from 5am to 9am and “FOX 10 News @ Noon.” “I am so happy to be here in the Valley. It’s a pleasure to help you start your day,””said Alexis. Alexis brings a wealth of experience with her to the Valley; she’s been a news anchor, a weather anchor, reporter, sports reporter and news producer. She joins FOX 10 with years of experience in Yuma, Arizona and Santa Barbara, California. A graduate of the University of California in Santa Barbara, Alexis majored in communications and minored in Spanish. She actively volunteers her time to many Valley charities including the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and the American Cancer Society. Alexis enjoys trying out new restaurants, traveling to see friends and family, and spending time with her two dogs.” Copyright by Fox 10 News.
