“TRAFFIC sucked” – That’s the title of an excellent, unbiased and honest post made by Owen Frager over at The Frager Factor that may shock many with its candid title; it should ruffle the feathers of the organizers of TRAFFIC in Ft. Lauderdale.
“The industry lacks leadership and focus at the top. Once upon a time TRAFFIC was an advocate for the attendees needs. It forced companies to innovate. Now the domain industry is side tracked by the money in new extensions. But what about the domains everyone already owns?”
The post is far from being an attack on the largest domain conference; it’s an honest review by a savvy attendee that must be read carefully by everyone at TRAFFIC.
Am glad you AGREE!!
Was Frager a little upset that no one bought his three domain package that he was promoting in the Domaining sponsored headlines? It would have helped if he offered 3 good domains and not pigeon shit.
Absolutely agree, Frager , whom I’ve accused of excessive nostalgia, was right on the money this time.
Oh Frager, cry cry over the domains you didn’t sell. …. waaahhhhhhhm waAAHHHHHHHHH WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I was not there so I cannot critique it. but he might as well have been selling earthchumps.com
please. ive seen less crap in a sewer. that was not a premium domain auction.
moreover, once the domain industry stop stroking its own ego, it will start to come back.
oh, and i have always loved his pimping of shoedepartment.com. im sure that just gets a HELL OF A LOT of type in traffic.
do i hear a pidgeon chirping somewhere…
I 100% agree with Owen Frager!
Owen raised some valid points, but as a former promoter I can tell you that doing shows like these is the equivalent of herding cats.
Rick surrounds himself with dutiful “Yes Men & Yes Women”
Also, has Rick ever registered a domain after 2002 and then sold said domain?
yes rick register domain after 2002. He registered about 2500 .co domains and dumbed over 2000 these year.
