While I do agree that Mr Latona has done a lot to popularize
the domain industry and is no doubt focused and a hard worker, unless you are trading in XX,XXX dollar amount domain names, than you are completely out of the realm or loop of his network. I don’t see where he or his company is mentoring or fostering the growth of smaller Domainers interests which must make up the bulk of the Domaining industry. Further, it seems rather elitist and self serving that the focus of most of his auctions are centered around making money with no regard to advancing or promoting the industry as a whole.

Great article, but rather biased in my opinion. Doubt that I will see my comment published.

“For additional information, please visit http://www.RickLatona.com/auctions.”

I think someone forgot to tell Rick that he rebranded.

I love the new site, it’s definitely got a classy feel to it.

Rick Latona had already stepped out of the shadows in 2006.

Look for Rick halfway down the page.

Rick,

Wish you would have stepped out of the shadows in 2000. Who knows where the domain industry would be now. You did major accomplishments in one years time, that took others a decade in the industry.

Certainly, you would have made almost everyone in the domain space alot of money if you stayed out of in the shadows since 2000. Everything you have done has helped many make money. Nothing wrong with making money in the process helping others either.

And no I am not kissing *ss, just laying out the facts.

Rick is definitely a hard charger.

He is reinventing the domain industry single handedly into a power house. First in mass mini sites, first in domain loans, first in multiple auctions at traffic, first in global domains newsletter, first ccTLD conference, first in global domain conferences, And the list goes on.

Most of these first occruing when he stepped out of the shadows mid 2008.

I wish him success and hope that Latona’s will finally target end users with premium domains, instead of just another auction house with unlimited supply of domains that just sit in inventory. Many have tried and failed to get end users to auctions.

Based on Rick’s track record, I do not doubt he will be the first to be successful with excellent promotion of valuable domains to end users.
