Naughty or nice? Domainers’ Expectations for 2010

It’s the time of the year that we all sit down and count the beans of goodness and badness. According to a tale we were told as kids, Santa tallies all the good deeds and the naughty deeds and decides whether we get presents or coal for the Holidays.

In the world of Domaining, domainers have faced a good 18 months of recession and downwards spiraling of PPC revenue, however during the final weeks of this year it seems that improvement is ante portas.

If we were to wish for something in the new year, 2010, it’d be worldwide peace so that domainers can focus on business. As we all know, humans are not peaceful creatures by nature so our wish will most likely fall through.

Therefore, we compiled a short list of alternative wishes that we have for the new year and we present them below.
