Wow, the 9th issue already... Unfortunately, we have had a very busy and unstable few months in the industry. Our industry is being hit from multiple sides, and it is hurting a lot of people. Overall we are still doing very well as a whole, but we are at a critical turning point and must remain vigilant or things could end up far beyond the point of no return for us over the rest of this year. We will be addressing some serious problems in this, and the next few issues. Please take them VERY seriously as it could have a very negative result on our industry if they are ignored.

In this issue we will be addressing the infamous "Anti Phishing" Bill. This is a HUGE problem for our industry and MUST be addressed. Please check out the main article for all the details and remember to support the ICA in ANY way you can. I cannot express how serious this is to ALL of us.

We are planning on taking the gloves off in the next few issues and may upset some people in the process. However, we are hoping that in the long run we will help the industry become stronger by uniting a lot of people towards a common goal; making this industry stronger and more profitable for everyone in it.
As I am sure a lot of you have seen, PPC is TANKING. In upcoming issues we will be looking at why this is happening and what we as an industry, if anything, can do about it.

On a few brighter notes...

It appears that domain sales are up across the board and going very strong. The live auctions by Moniker/Snapnames have been driving prices steadily upward and there seems to be no end in sight. Keep up the good work, Monte!

Speaking of Live auctions, we have a few coming up over the next few months, Traffic in Orlando as well as The Domainer Meeting in Paris. These should be VERY interesting to watch and participate in, especially with the new online bidding option for those of us not able to make it to the events.
Anyway, enough from me, we have a ton of GREAT content this issue, sit back and enjoy all the articles and please remember to support our advertisers, as without them we would cease to exist.

Cya next issue!
