10,000 Posts

A couple milestones reached today, I turned 50 and TheDomains.com has reached 10,000 published posts.

TheDomains.com first post was published on December 4, 2007.

Since then Mike Berkens set out to discuss all things domaining, from advising people to help protect their domains by joining the ICA, to giving his take on the new gtld program before and after it launched. Hot takes on ICANN and how to sell a portfolio for $35 million.

Over the years writers have come on such as myself and Jamie Zoch. The number of topics covered has continued to grow as well.

We want to thank all the readers of TheDomains who stop by daily. We want to thank our advertisers who have supported TheDomains throughout the years, thanks to Francois at Domaining.com.

The commenters engaging the most on TheDomains include:

  • John (Polar Bear)
  • Josh (JP)
  • Joseph Peterson
  • Striker
  • Steve
  • Cmac

Thanks for the contributions.

The most read post on TheDomains was about a porn site losing a UDRP, the traffic has been greater than some blogs.

Special thanks to Andrea at Nutsandboltsmedia.com who has more on here plate than any human should. Thanks for the help you have given me in keeping things straight here. Thanks to Brandon at Rack Geek for keeping the hosting smooth.

Thanks to Mike and Judi for their efforts and giving me the freedom to produce content here.

    Congrats & Excellent Blogging! Only 50 but I am now 68 already after my early retirement at 54 so must still continue domaining with my full mind hopefully.

    When Michael sold the bulk of his portfolio nearly two years ago, I told my wife, “Well, I’m thrilled for him, but that’s it for TheDomains.com…”

    So happy that you guys have kept it going strong. 10,000 posts is a monumental feat. Congrats!

    Cheers,

    Mike

    Wow, so that just gave me the lol’s. I literally just decided to read this post for the first time, and literally just saw that. Don’t tell anyone (shh), but sometimes I don’t read every post on the blogs, and just didn’t feel like looking at this “10,000 posts” announcement till just now I happened to get in the mood to look. Go figure. Too funny.

    Hmm, surely someone else has me beat though, ay? 😀

    Okay, so without further ado then – indeed, congrats to Mike and Ray. This has long been one of my favorite sites in the industry, no question about it, one of the great go to pillars of industry blogging. 🙂
