June 2, 2025 By John Colascione Leave a Comment

In the heart of Wall Street, a regal gorilla sits beneath a towering sign that reads ".COM IS KING," symbolizing the dominance of premium domains in the digital economy. This striking image captures the true power and authority that the right domain name can bring to a brand.

WEST PALM BEACH, FL - In today’s fast-growing and highly competitive digital landscape, a domain name is far more than just a web address—it’s a critical asset that shapes brand identity, builds trust, and often serves as the first impression customers have of a business. A strong domain name can enhance marketing efforts, drive organic search traffic, improve click-through rates, and establish long-term brand authority. With millions of websites launched every year, the … [Read more...]

Mega Domain “NewYork.com” Has New Property Manager After Reported Sale

April 12, 2023 By John Colascione Leave a Comment

NewYork

WEST PALM BEACH, FL - In 2019, I put a spotlight on mega domain and website NewYork.com, virtually disappearing into thin air after its owners fell into a complex legal dispute which pushed the business to its breaking point after years of litigation. At that time, I remember being shocked that a dispute could not be resolved to the point where the entire business would collapse, and virtually vanish, but for whatever reason that’s what happened. Now, approximately … [Read more...]

Scott Metro

PROSPECT, KY – It’s not often that a seller gets the opportunity to off-load the same portfolio twice, especially when the sales price is north of $2M, but that’s exactly what is happening with Clark Scott’s “Hello Earth” city site network and its computer software system as well as a U.S. federal trademark for “HELLO EARTH” – all assets of “Hello Earth LLC.” I recently connected with Clark where we discussed the long and interesting history of his unique network of city … [Read more...]

PALM BEACH, FL – Those who know me know I keep a keen eye on the geographic name space and I noticed today that the exact match domain name for the U.S. State of Vermont is for sale on Flippa.com.

Gobble, Gobble: Google Wants To Steal Your Website’s Local Event Calendar Traffic Too

October 7, 2019 By John Colascione Leave a Comment

PALM BEACH, FL – No, its not quite Thanksgiving yet; there are still several weeks to go. I wasn’t referring to [that] type of “Gobble, Gobble”, with a turkey or thanksgiving or any of that. But Gobble, Gobble seems to fit the bill. Because if you were to ask Google, every day is like a feeding frenzy. I’m talking about Google’s insatiable appetite to steal all of your content so that there is little traffic left for you. In fact, I bet Google would much prefer if your … [Read more...]
