Comments on: Did You Read The Domaining Manifesto? Was It A Scam? http://www.dnxpert.com/2009/01/05/did-you-read-the-domaining-manifesto-was-it-a-scam/ A blog about the domain name industry Wed, 08 Feb 2012 15:02:34 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Stevie Watts http://www.dnxpert.com/2009/01/05/did-you-read-the-domaining-manifesto-was-it-a-scam/comment-page-1/#comment-6799 Stevie Watts Sun, 11 Jan 2009 18:23:10 +0000 http://www.dnxpert.com/?p=1242#comment-6799 I've been reading both for and against points to the myesterydomainauction and although I admit it could of been pulled off better I dont think people should lose sleep over it. People make mistakes and in my opinion people should take this as a big lesson on domaining ideas. I've been reading dnxpert for a while now and it is amazingly helpful. Reputation is key and I dont think it should be tarnished over one mistake (if you could even call it a mistake). To the main point to this reply is that I am relatively new to domaining and I've only just managed to read the domaining manifesto. It is quite simply a gift of god. If your new to domaining of even if your not I would suggest reading this essential guide.

On the web anybody can say anything without fear of repercussions. As for the domaining manifesto,if only I had this info packed ebook some time back, I would have raked in some heavy moolah, no joke. All I can say is never let your emotions be controlled by others.

It was a good read and was full of insight & ideas, which is what i want from a book. As for MDA, it was a good idea. I bought a link and was an affiliate. The fact that John refunded & paid out the affiliates speaks volumes about his integrity. I paid for my Manifesto but I don’t feel scammed at all.

It was a fantastic idea. You should be applauded for doing something for this industry. Yes, legals are a pain, so is cybersquatting. I'm sure that somebody else with far more resources will pay and find a loophole before long. I'm sick to death of so called experts who sit on there arse and knock innovation and imagination. I can guarantee that they give nothing and take everything. Keep up the good work and look forward to offering as much support as possible. Regards Unhappy that you had to can the auction.

Regarding your MysteryDomainAuction project the idea was good in part, but kind of "raffles" are not permitted in US without a local or state authorization. You took a wise decision at time to stop the auction. You are a good man! Regards, Maestrus Thank you John for your ebook, Domaining Manifesto, it is very good.

I've had problems in the past myself with people using my name on other people's blogs. Domaining Manifesto certainly wasn't a scam... I read the ebook myself and it would have been a good value for a new domainer. The only thing people should be afraid of is being afraid to try -- nothing wrong with giving a project like MysteryDomainAuction a try and good on you for closing it down when you thought it might run into legal trouble -- I know a lot of domainers aren't as ethical as you and would have worried about legal problems once they had the money instead of taking care of that from the beginning. You're a good guy John -- that much is apparent from how you handled this situation. Just my opinion, however I would recommend making sure that Jamie is actually the person who made this comment.

Related to Manifesto, i have read it, and i really think is a good domaining ebook. Think Positive John, all people that keep thinking negative, they miss a big part of life ...

He is just pissed because someone came out with an innovative way to do something on the web and he was not part of it. The site was a great idea and did exactly what you had hoped which was to create buzz and excitement. I don't know that anyone felt they were being scammed and as a matter of fact it was neat to watch the bids and check out some of the sites. This idea is not dead and there are actual sites that use this All Pay auction style that seem to be doing quite well like swoopo which I only found out about when I saw this site. Don't give up!
