Freedom ends when it becomes abused.
Francois Carrillo, the entrepreneur behind numerous domainer venues has had it.
While he offers so much to the domainer community, trying to make an honest buck, some people are bypassing the rules of the game.
“But yes, I know, I see many domainer try put sale of domains in blog subject. And I say, pay me for special Sedo ad and we are legit, ok? But not blog sale and cheat, this is not honorable”, said Francois in-between sips of strong French vanilla coffee.
The plan is to filter out any blog headlines that blatantly advertise domain sales.
With Domaining.com being the top domain news aggregator for the domain industry, it’s only to be expected that such free-riding takes place quite often.
Having launched several vertical marketplaces to sell domains – with DomainHacks.com being the most recent one – Francois will enforce the filtration via the use of trained employees that will quickly remove any offending posts.
A recent law in France raised the age of retirement from 60 to 62 years and more frustrated French men and women will remain in the workforce; Francois will thus now capitalize on this new dramatic expansion of the French job market.
Sales articles have been removed from Domaining.com for a long time, and I respect his right to do that.
LOL Elliot, we had no idea 😀
Interesting and answers my curiosity as to why Elliot’s excellent sale of SchoolPsychologist.com was displayed at namebee.com but not domaining.com.
fizz – Reality is stranger than fiction 😀
sometimes i think one thing and other times i think something else.
I thought Francois drank something stronger than coffee.
todaro – Sometimes I think you spam and sometimes I think you’re just loco 😀
Jeff – Francois drinks premium distilled French vanilla coffee, directly from the coffee bean plantations of the French Guyane.
Everyone want to sell, and none is able to refrain hilmself if there is not a rule.
Let one advertise domains for sale for free in Domaining.com and all the others will do the same.
What is a cool place to watch news/views will quickly become a classified of low interest.
This is why sales headlines are only allowed as sponsored headlines, the rule is in fact larger, anything that is blatant promotion/advertising should be only shown as a sponsored headline, to distinguish content of advertising and also help pay the bills of the site.
In a side note:
Recently a new featured domain section that allow to advertise your domain for sale, domain in auction has been added, and it cost less than sponsored headlines for a larger period. So if your domain is in auction at Sedo, action! Get also advantage of our 7,000 registered members to maximize your sales.

I hope Lucius will not read so I will also get myself free advertising here he he 😉
But why do *I* have to go to the school psychologist?
Then they showed me the petition…
