Domainer Rick Waters of Webcast1 Speaks at the Rocky Mountain Domain

Conference

Rocky Mountain Domain Conference in Denver highlights timely information on domain issues from
Google's recent algorithm changes to the new gTLD domain name extensions

Denver, CO, March 01, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Representing the Web development and design boutique,
Webcast1.com, Rick Waters began by proposing that the value of .com may be dropping while new
domain extension values such as .co are on the rise. Mr. Waters called these new extensions “potential
game-changers.” Citing website audience leakage to Facebook, Twitter, and mobile apps, and pointing
out an increased acceptance of newer extensions such as .tv and .co, Mr. Waters said the looming release
of additional gTLDs onto the market may be the proverbial straw that breaks the value of .com, which is
already facing poor auction results.

Mr. Waters followed with a presentation titled the “7 Steps of Premium Domain Development,” in which
he outlined the essential steps that owners of one and two word “premium” domains should take in
developing a world-class website. He used Brookline.com as an example and presented RoxWorld.tv as
an example of 'hybrid' premium website development. RoxWorld.tv incorporates social commerce and
celebrity shopping into a new form of website hybrid.

Following Mr. Waters, Domain Holding's CEO, Jason Boshoff, gave a rousing talk on why development
is the only way to ensure the increase in the value of a domain. Mr. Boshoff noted what large players such
as Demand Media and Internet Brands are up to and gave the conference an update on the Rapid Site
Builder system.

Braden Pollock spoke on vertically integrated domain channels such as his DUI network, and touched on
why parking revenues are declining and how other "monetization" models bring domainers closer to the
money.

Name.com's Bill Mushkin gave an entertaining lecture titled “Facebook's Daughter” on the history of the
concept of “naming” and why domainers need to be aware of other digital naming conventions such as
those of Twitter, Facebook, Apps, etc.

Mimi Rupp of the Kenyon and Kenyon law firm gave some insightful tips on Uniform Domain Name
Dispute Resolution Policy proofing (protecting yourself from UDRP actions).

Annalisa Roger of the Dot Green registry provided updates on the .Green gTLD application and discussed
why domainers should be very cognizant of the emergence of new gTLDs.

Abdu Tarabichi gave a talk on domain buying and selling strategies that have made him a successful
domain broker and reseller. Mr. Tarabichi's talk included tips on how to write and respond to sales
emails, timing of contact and the process of researching and learning about the person or company with
whom you are transacting.

Adam Torkildson gave an insightful speech on SEO tactics for domain developers including treating your
domain as a "brand," social media and capturing data.

The event was held at a gorgeous Victorian mansion (which is actually the home of the Russian
Consulate of Denver), where the attendees of the RMDC were treated with fine Western hospitality by
Mike Law and his staff. This unique setting gave this regional domain conference a special character and
the warmth of the building put attendees and speakers at ease.

The RMDC was “a timely, informative and entertaining conference in a terrific setting,” said Mr. Waters.
“By far the best regional domain conference. I look forward to attending next year.”
