Update: Due to high volume, newsletter will now be sent out on Monday, January 9th, 2012.

Domaining.com is accepting names for a special newsletter scheduled to go out on Monday January 9th, 2012. The newsletter will also be sent to DNForum and DomainState members, so it looks like a good way to get your name in front of a lot of fellow domainers.

Here are the details as well as a few recommendations…

• They are accepting one domain per person and selecting a total of 100 names – all extensions welcome, but .COM recommended. It should go without saying (for the first three), but the submission page states ‘no typos, hacks, cyberquatting, or adult’.

• Sales commission is 10% with 2 week exclusivity after the newsletter is delivered.

• Domain sales handled by escrow (included in commission) via Domaining.com’s ECOP escrow service.

• In order to increase exposure, the submission page states that the sales commissions generated will be reversed to the most active bloggers and lists the following participants so far (I believe in order of who blogged about the event first) OwenFrager, DNEXpert, AvailableDomainNames, DomainingTips, DomainWealth, DomainMichael.

Recommendations…

• Since the submission page mentions ‘priced for domainers’, this is probably not the place to look for end user pricing.

• The submission process uses Valuate.com’s (owned by Domaining.com) automated appraisal process, so if you are trying to decide between a few different domains to submit, might be a good idea to run them all through Valuate.com since this may be used as a significant factor in domain selection.

• As with any automated service, its algorithm may favor certain types of names (e.g. high CPC / search demand, etc.), so you might want to factor this into your selection decision.  For example, I haven’t decided on which name to submit yet, but am considering one which has a $7,100 valuation due to a $12+ CPC.

• The submission page also has an optional short slogan or note – always a good idea to fill out to bring additional attention to the name and to list anything that makes it special.

Best of luck on an early domain sale in 2012!
