I could offer the following names…

organicseo.us
sssdomains.net
luxembourgian.com

Please let me know your offer.

Can you accept 12,000 USD for alll three domains (package deal)?

Do you sell domain with a web site or just the name?

Domain without content is ok with me. Web site is not necessary.

Have you had your domain names evaluated in the past? I mean domain appraisals. Without valuation we cannot be sure in the sale price. It’s very important for me in terms of reselling too. But we must engage a valuation company with REAL manual service. So I will only accept valuations from independent sources I and my partners trust.

To avoid mistakes I asked domain experts about reputable appraisal companies.

Please check this blog with suggestions from other sellers and buyers:

If, for example, the valuation comes higher you can adjust your asking price accordingly.  It will be fair. I also hope you can give me 12% - 15% discount.

After you send me the valuation via email (usually it takes 1-2 days to obtain it) we’ll continue our negotiations.What is your preferred payment method:  Escrow.com, International wire transfer, PayPal.com or something else?

Hope we can come to an agreement fast.Looking forward to your reply.

12000 USD is too much. I can sell all three of them to you for just $1000 if you want

I don’t like to spend on domain appraisals as of now, and you can pay and do it if required.

Thanks

It’s a standard practice to show independent valuation to buyers/resellers.
Nobody will do business without it. I’m a businessman and have no intention
of changing rules which help both parties to avoid additional risks.Of course, investors never take into account auto-generated vlauations. So
manual valuation is a “must” too.

I read the following information about appraisals at:

Thank you for understanding. I’m looking forward to do business with you.

Sorry; I’m not interested.

The company behind Text-Link-Ads.com service has launched a new program InLinks.com that too a marketplace for buying and selling Google PageRank text links but could be slightly tough to detect.

Here the advertisers can pick blog posts where they want to place text links and once the blogger approves that link, particular words in the blog post automatically get linked to the advertiser’s site without the rel=nofollow attribute thus passing link juice.

A startup business, Cuil Inc., founded by engineers from Google Inc. and other tech giants are launching a new search engine that claims to cover three times as many Web pages as Google. The site’s results page resembles an online magazine — a different look and feel from search juggernaut Google’s.

try www.cuil.com (pronounced “cool”)

Cuil has raised $33 million from venture-capital investors and has a deep bench of career search engineers, including Ms. Patterson and her co-founder and husband, Tom Costello. Mr. Costello built search technology for International Business Machines Corp. and was on the research faculty at Stanford University.

As a business proposition, Cuil is obviously a big bet. While search is a monetizable business, it’s hard to change the behavior of a generation of Web users who think “Google” is a verb. No other search engine has come close to entering the public consciousness like this. Of course, Cuil doesn’t have to trounce Google on day one; and took Google quite some time to surpass Alta Vista and Yahoo in the search wars.

A knol is an authoritative article about a specific topic.

Google has recently unveiled Knol to the world, touted as their answer to Wikipedia, which is expected to be a more professional version of Wikipedia, put together by expert writers. The biggest difference between Knol and Wikipedia are that the authors will be identified by their real names, and will be verified.

Authoritative articles in knol are expected to rank high in search engines, and could potentially be used as a link baiting tool to build links to your site. Though all outgoing links from knol have nofollow added to them, this is definitely going to be a major traffic source in future, and if used properly, this traffic could potentially get a few back links to your site.

Comon… itz time to knol, start sharing what you know

For most people on the Web, if Google or Yahoo cannot find something, it doesn’t exist. That has been one of the biggest drawbacks to creating a Website in Flash. Search engines could see the file, but they could not see what was in it. Until now.

Adobe today announced an optimized Adobe Flash Player that will be added to the search engines of Google Inc. and Yahoo Inc. under agreements with the two Internet firms. The tool will help the search engines better index dynamic Web content and rich Internet applications (RIA) that include the Flash file format, or Shockwave Flash (SWF).

Becoming visible is one thing, actually ranking highly is another. Google currently can find about 73 million Flash files on the Web. But until Adobe makes it easy for the average Webmaster or blogger to link deeply into those Flash files, they are not likely to appear at the top of many search results.

Having failed to acquire Yahoo, Microsoft has now apparently set its sights on a new target, and is rumored to be eying a $100 million acquisition of powerset.com, a natural language-based search engine that is only usable on Wikipedia and Freebase.

One has to now wonder how much of a boost in the search market the acquisition will net them over time :), as we know that Google has been a bit dismissive about semantic search and it didn’t do much for Ask Jeeves either. Anyways, this could at the very least help Microsoft distinguish itself in the search space, but with all the hundreds of millions they’ve already spent beefing up their search engine perhaps their problem isn’t technological as much as it is a branding issue.

comScore, Inc., a leader in measuring the digital world, today released its monthly comScore qSearch analysis of the search marketplace. Google Sites marginally extended its share of core searches to 58.5 percent. Yahoo! Sites ranked second with 22.2 percent, followed by Microsoft Sites (9.8 percent), AOL LLC (4.9 percent), and Ask Network (4.5 percent).

Global giants including Apple and Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp are believed to be considering rival bids for the internet company Yahoo, which has received a $44.6bn (£22.6bn) offer from Microsoft.

The conglomerate InterActiveCorp was another company named as a potential bidder for Yahoo, which is said to be unwilling to give in to Microsoft without a fight.

After Microsoft’s chief executive Steve Ballmer made the offer in a letter on Thursday, it emerged that Yahoo had rejected a similar takeover attempt by Ballmer’s organisation a year before.

Yahoo chief executive and co-founder Jerry Yang is understood not to be Microsoft’s greatest fan, and would be prepared to line up another ‘white knight’ rather than concede to Ballmer.

It is believed he would be particularly open to a rescue bid from Steve Jobs’ Apple Corp, having openly expressed his admiration for the firm in the past.

Although Microsoft is still the leading technology company in the world, it is believed its position could soon be threatened if it doesn’t turn around its loss-making internet arm and increase its share of the online advertising market.

Recent figures show that Google dominates 66% of the global web search market. Yahoo and Microsoft are leagues behind with just 13% and 4% of the market respectively.
