Yup, it’s the second week of the month and you know what time it is, right?  That’s right!  It’s time for Verisign’s Top Trending Keywords Report.

Moments ago, Verisign published to its blog May’s trending keywords registered for .com and .net domains.

It’s the $64,000 — perhaps million dollar — question most domain investors ask or ponder from time to time when purchasing and renewing domains.

If you’re a domain investor, and this question hasn’t crossed your mind, then you’re likely wasting money, time, and effort calling yourself domain investing.

With almost a decade of domain investing under my belt now, I’ve learned the importance of answering this question and operating my domain investing business to strict adherence of strategic timeline for each and every investment.

And just like that… it’s the second week of the month and you know what time it is, right?  That’s right!  It’s time for Verisign’s Top Trending Keywords Report.

It’s been a while since I graced you all with a tutorial using GoDaddy’s Aftermarket API.

In fact, I haven’t written a tutorial since the one about retrieving a list of GoDaddy domains you own.

About 5 years ago, I discovered a number of domains not renewing in my GoDaddy account that were set to auto renew. Long story short, the auto renew issue was narrowed down to “Pending Whois Verification”.

In one of my accounts, I discovered the Discount Domain Club product that should have auto renewed hadn’t as well as one domain. What I don’t know is how long this glitch has been happening?
