I have a new advertiser if you didn’t notice, they are Rolling.Domains and they launched today so their ad is now my top banner, and yes they are paying me for that ad space, they sent me a press release to post but it wasn’t a criteria for the paid ad, I told them I don’t mind posting the press release because it is domain related, so I am posting it below, but I don’t do paid ad worship so I will still question the service and what exactly it offers to my readers, this is probably why I don’t get alot of paid advertisers lol.
Anyway I spoke with the Founder and Creator of Rolling.Domains, Desmond Fox, we had a great conversation and he is very enthusiastic about his new service, I like him and his enthusiasm and I wish him success, he is a great guy and he is from my old stomping ground Southern California, of course I would probably like Daniel Negari if I met him too so this can’t be the criteria for my liking the service offered, so I asked Desmond if rather than just explaining to me what he is doing and posting a press release perhaps he would get into more details about the service if my readers have any questions about it, he said that sounds good.
He also offered my readers the first listing free for the month of July, I told him it might sound a bit pitchy and my readers will probably ask why should they pay for a listing after the first one or the first month, actually these were my questions but I assume my readers would ask the same thing, and I said I am sure he offers this to all the domain blogs lol.
I figured as an advertiser he would appreciate my readers opinions of his new site and their perception of it and the service he is offering, after all he is paying for an ad on my site so I assume he wants us all to get behind what he is offering, and nothing wrong with a little feedback. Here is the offer to my readers and a little of what he told me when I questioned him about the service:
As an introductory offer, all DomainPicks.com readers are welcome to submit their meaningful premium domain names to be listed for the month of July on the Rolling.Domains website and the 1st listing is FREE.
“The website is more that just as listing service. It’s design is primarily focused on creating end user awareness for new TLD’s, showcasing both new and older TLD’s, promoting premium domain names for the domain investor community and featuring recently created and newly launched websites utilizing new TLD’s.
The main goal is to bring the Domain Investor community, the New TLD Owners and the End Users together in a single informational setting for the benefit of all constituents.”
Here is the press release:
Rolling.Domains – The Launch Pad for Digital Success
Los Angeles, CA – July 1st – Rolling.Domains, is one of the new generic Top Level Domains (gTLDs), and is the Launch Pad for Digital Success for both domain investors and end users alike. It’s new website showcases both new and older TLD’s, offers meaningful premium domain name listings for sale and also features recently created and newly launched websites.
“The Internet Commerce arena is currently undergoing a huge digital transformation and with the introduction and launch of new TLD’s at very rapid pace, along with the entry of major corporations like Google and Amazon into this space, the marketplace for meaningful premium domain names will see a measurable increase over the next few years, as most large corporations rely more than ever on their digital revenues to increase profitability,” says Desmond Fox, Founder and Creator of Rolling.Domains.
“Additionally, with almost 55% of small to medium businesses not having any virtual presence at all, the need for consistent promotion and marketing of the new TLD’s is not just a nice to have – it is an absolute necessity for digital success.”
In recognition of these factors, Rolling.Domains has developed a truly unique platform: – a Launch Pad for Digital Success for the promotion of all TLD’s and it’s new website is primarily focused on creating end user awareness for new TLD’s, showcasing both new and older TLD’s, promoting premium domain names for the domain investor community and featuring recently created and newly launched websites utilizing new TLD’s.
It’s very simple: – List and Link to the sales platform of your choice.
Save that name. When the pot industry is like the cigarette industry and has different brands at the corner stores, this would be the ideal brand agency. (that day is coming)
This is a Smokin idea, we’ll keep it in mind
The new gTLDs were created to give people options to get better available domain names than what existed before these new gTLDs.
That being said why would someone choose such a bad domain for their business with all the available options available as a new gTLD.
What is the correlation between the words Rolling and Domains? I don’t get it at all.
We’ve succeeded in our marketing efforts ….and just got your attention. Bad domains are like bad publicity… it’s always good !
Say what? Bad Domains = Good Domains ??!?
I’m having a bit of difficulty parsing this pearl… ;-P
There is no such thing as bad publicity
Hate to break your axioms, but thats a saying, even for pop stars.
Publicity is also discernable from great publicity.
Why did you choose ‘rolling’? You should have a short & compelling answer to that q.
Personally, I’m just imagining scrooge mcduck, but with domains…
Congrats on the new advertiser. You deserve it. Tell them to show some confidence in their own product and have the ad lead to rolling.domains instead a dot com.
As soon as we have completed testing in beta mode, we will be migrating directly to our primary domain Rolling.Domains.
Rolling.Domains, I like the name personally. That’s just me.
In some cases, it helps to look beyond just being hardcore dotcom or even just plain generic names when it comes to standing out in marketing. Not all of the biggest and most successful companies in the world use generics and they’re doing fine. I’ve stepped back (for a change) and now am looking at the bigger picture to see where the name industry is going. It’s interesting.
We agree and sometimes it pays to be bold and different and especially with all the new domains rolling out over the next year or so.
Honestly the site took forever to load and when it did it was sitting on dotnamesales.com… I do not think people are going to wait for it to load, I almost closed the window.
We regard all feedback as positive. Please let us know what you experienced ?
It loaded fast for me. But it may be the 1g fiber I was connected to at the time where I was at. I agree with Shane that it should go to Rolling.Domains and not the dot com site its on.
As soon as we have completed testing in beta mode, we will be migrating directly to our primary domain Rolling.Domains.

To be honest, I get a little queasy doing business with a business that hides behind privacy registration.
Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.

Thank you for your feedback.
How can you market my domains? What your marketing strategies?

Agree with other comments about the name. Seems like a strange choice.
The service idea could be good but I couldn’t understand what exactly the site proposes to do. The site doesn’t render properly on my iPad so maybe I missed something.
The obvious questions:
Why would anyone pay to list a domain on rolling.domains as opposed to Sedo or Afternic which are free?
How much does it cost?
Is there a commission in the event of a sale?
How much traffic does the site receive?
Thank you for your feedback. We regard all feedback as positive and will take all comments into consideration.
The answers to obvious questions:
Q. Why would anyone pay to list a domain on rolling.domains as opposed to Sedo or Afternic which are free?
A. We showcase our premium listings to end users and your listing is not just one of millions.
Q. How much does it cost?
A. We are working on our pricing structure to keep it to an absolute minimum and it will be released on August 1st. In the meantime, your 1st listing is FREE for the month of July.
Q. Is there a commission in the event of a sale?
A. Not at this time. We are working on our pricing structure to keep it to an absolute minimum and it will be released on August 1st. In the meantime, your 1st listing is FREE for the month of July.
Q. How much traffic does the site receive?
A. The site is brand new.
Since there is a live business at RollingDomains.com then I think it makes sense to change the name. At least pick a gTLD that doesn’t have the dot com as a live business. Especially when at some point both of your companies will be next to each other in a Google search. Your target market is the end user and the end user will be confused. Makes no sense.
The gTLD namespace is wide open so choose a better name in my opinion. There are at least one hundred other names I would choose other than Rolling.Domains. Choose a name the end user would understand.
There is no way anyone will pay a listing fee on a site that is brand new with no traffic. Load it up for a few months with names and then start charging once you have proven sales.
It’s great to get an idea out and live but I think you should step back and re-analyze your concept. What the site is all about is very confusing to any end user. I don’t even see how to list any names.
Tweak it and re-launch in my opinion.
When you land on the site there is no Tag line explaining what your site/service does. I would have no clue what your site is about if I just landed on it.
And is it really necessary to have 3 lines of scrolling names & info? Very annoying.
Thank you for your feedback. We regard all feedback as positive and will take all comments into consideration.
I think good on them for having a try it’s a hard business to crack but we should always welcome and support a new player , The name is fine imagine years ago if someone said they were going to call there domain business godaddy.com people would have laughed best of luck i will be there to list my 1st name and see what happens
