Carryon CharityA new domain charity is making its premier soon called CarryOn.com. Anthony Peppler and Sania Faucher have announced they want to help make the Internet a safer place for children. They are starting a charity that will allow owners of sexually explicit domain names to donate them to the charity. Instead of deleting the domains the former owners can clean up the Internet by donating them to this charity. The mission is very simple, CarryOn.com will start collecting as many adult domains as they can and instead of showing adult content or ads they will direct them to family safe viewing websites. If a curious child types in a domain name that CarryOn.com owns they will be taken to a safe destination.

The charity will be incorporated as a 501c3 non-profit. To make a donation that is tax deductible Moniker has volunteered to appraise the domains that are over $5,000 in value. This will allow domainers to donate domain names and may be riding on their consciousness. Domain owner have to fear that if they delete a domain that may be harmful to a child in will fall into the wrong hands. This is a perfect solution to the problem and I think an excellent idea. Allow domainers with Adult domains to retire the domains into a safe place that will pay the renewal fees and keep the domains out of pornographers hands forever.

Domain RoundtableThe one conference that shouldn’t be missed is back. This year’s show is going to be an exceptional meeting for a number of reasons. The content and sessions that we have planned will provide information that is catered towards the seasoned domain professional. We have some back to basic seasons as well to cover the foundation a new domainers should know if they are going to succeed. We have talked with a lot of domainers that know how to find good domains. But what is the best way to monetize those domains? Well, parking as we know it is changing, staying ahead of the curve is the answer to making the most money.

Domainers have figured out how to make full-time livings off of domains, many people who attend our conferences work for themselves and now are hiring people. There is no easier way to build personal wealth then investing in quality domain names. I personally have been a part time domain collector over the last few years and have figured out how to make thousands of dollars a month from buying domain names. With the right understanding of how the industry works it is possible for anyone to do the same.

Networking with others is a critical function of these events, we decided to make this one of the key building blocks of the meeting. Attendees may come for the sessions but networking after hours will be critical to an attendee getting the most value out of the conference. The parties and social events we have planned will amaze you. We are keeping the size of the conference limited so that it is easier for networking.

Expect a huge Live Domain Auction this year as well, which will include rebates for bidders. Why pay to go to a Domain conference if you are shelling out big bucks at the domain auction? We will cover your costs. The auction day is going to be free for everyone to attend as well. We are not restricting bidders to just those attending, will be reaching out to other industries to join in the bidding. The live auction system is going to be very impressive, anyone on the Internet will be allowed to bid in real-time at the auction.

We are inviting industry experts from several industries to speak. Sign ups for the Roundtable are closed at this time but will be opening soon, expect about a week. Subscribing to the RSS feed or email list at DomainRoundtable.com and be one of the first to be notified. We have a limited number of spots due do to the soon to be announced networking tools that we will be providing to each participate. We don’t want to give away too much at this time, but expect a conference like no other.

Read the review from last year.
