Game site founder has the itch to get back into Web 2.0

I am Eric Marcoullier, one of MyBlogLog's founders. When going to a new place, it's always helpful to have someone you can ask questions, and that's what I'm here for.

I co-founded games site IGN.com years ago and then got into video game development for real. A couple years ago my passion for the web started itching again and here you are.

In my rare time off I absorb pop culture references, listen to post-punk, play Ultimate, rock my new 360 and spend time with my wife and son.

tabcorp online horse racing are making them billionaires

Tabcorp's Online Gambling Business Soars

Tabcorp Corporate Offices Tabcorp's Online Division Shows Record Profits

By Susan Cardenas
July 5, 2007

Tabcorp is the largest gaming and entertainment brand on the Australian Continent, and one of the largest publicly traded gambling companies in the world. New reports released by the company now show that Tabcorp's online gambling division is equally successful, and is actually the company's fastest growing market.

The results are in, and they are shocking. Gamblers who wager at Tabcorp's online gambling division wagered an astonishing $1 Billion during the company's last financial year. The gambling giant, which is the largest in Australia, reported that annual revenues from it's internet division grew by 25% last year, bringing in a total of $1.012 Billion in wagers.

Out of the wagers that were placed with Tabcorp via the internet, the vast majority were wagers that were placed on thoroughbred, harness and greyhound racing. Bets on these racing events accounted for $827 Million. Online gamblers spent another $185 Million betting on Rugby, Soccer, Golf, Tennis and the Australian Football League.

With such a phenomenal amount of betting activity taking place across the Tabcorp online gambling division, it is little surprise to see executives at the company state that online gambling now accounts for 11 percent of company revenues. If current growth trends continue, this figure will be much larger one year from now.

Australia's Herald Sun newspaper reported Robert Nason, the Wagering Director for Tabcorp, as saying, "Consumers continue to embrace the speed and convenience of online betting. It continues to be our fastest growing distribution channel."

Nason reports that 81 Million bets were placed with Tabcorp over the internet last year. The busiest day of the year for Tabcorp's online gambling division came during the Melbourne Cup, when more than 550,000 people visited the Tabcorp web site.

The report released by Tabcorp notes that the company now boasts more than 400,000 registered accounts, with 140,000 of those being enabled for betting online. Most of those who choose to place their wagers via the internet spend an average of 19 minutes online when placing bets.

Tabcorp is a publicly traded company on the Australian Stock Exchange. Shares for the company first traded in 1994 at a rate of $2.25 per share. Upon today's news of the company's internet gambling boom, shares rose 15 cents to $17.39 per share.

Matt Bentley is CEO of Sedo.com, the world's largest marketplace for buying and selling domain names and websites, and one of the leading providers of monetized domain parking services.

In 2004 Bentley returned to the US to launch Sedo.com, LLC, a fully-owned subsidiary of Sedo GmbH. Under his leadership Sedo.com, LLC has been profitable since it's first quarter of operations, and Sedo's US-derived revenue has increased five-fold.

Joe Alagna is big in UK domain names

Special offer: This entire blog real internet billionaires is for sale for $200... please submit offers in comments with your contact information. payment through paypal please.

What is Joe Alagna hiding?

Is Joe Alagna still working for CentrlNic, Ltd. as GM, for its N. American Markets?
I wrote this post over 2-3 years ago, and have not updated the information.

We at the blog for the real internet billionaires have been getting phone calls from someone claiming to be Joe Alagna.

Someone claiming to be Joe Alagna, has been asking that his information be removed from the real internet billionaires, regardless of how flattered he is at our estimation of his worth.

When we first wrote this post, we learned through a press release, that Joe Alagna is the General Manager, North American Markets for CentralNic, Ltd., an independent, UK based, domain name registry. Joe Alagna started the company in 2001, and has helped CentralNic to transform a small group of UK based resellers into an international sales channel including domain name registrars like eNom, Dotster, and Name.com.

We also learned from the press release, that has since been removed, that because of Joe Alagna's work at CenralNic, the company has become the largest private sub-domain name registry in the world, marketing sub-domains based on US.COM, UK.COM, and many others. CentralNic has also become the registry for LA Names (dot.LA).

The press release of Joe Alagna concluded, that in 2006, Joe came up with the idea of creating a turn-key registry solution for domainers. The result was a new CentralNic division called Personal Net Names that helps private domainers to offer their sub-domains to the general market very quickly and easily.

From the press release, we also learned the history back in the 80's of Joe Alagna which said:
Joe's management experience spans some 30 years. During the 1980s, he built the leading sales team for a Chicago based direct sales company, JRC Industries. After moving to California and noticing a positive trend in the mobile phone business, Joe became a National Account Manager for AT&T Wireless. His team managed and closed some of the largest national accounts within the company, including Enterprise Rent-a-Car, Boeing, and a 1.8 million dollar national account agreement with Kinkos.

From the press release, we also learned the history in the 90's of Joe Alagna which said: In 1996, Joe conceived of and managed the creation of one of the first web sites in the wireless industry. That site has since been folded into the AT&T Wireless web site. But through that experience and subsequent studies, Joe has become an expert in domain names, PPC, SEO, and online marketing.

From the press release, we also learned the history in the new millennium of Joe Alagna which said: Joe left AT&T Wireless in 1999 to focus on the Internet. He began by building his own collection of domain names which he still maintains today. On a personal note, he likes to be involved in his church and community. He volunteers as often as possible, playing music for children at his church and for old folks at a nearby assisted living center. Joe also volunteers a few times each year to teach a class in online marketing, which he created for the Inland Empire Small Business Development Center.

Family Life of Joe Alagna:
Joe Alagna lives in Southern California with his wife of 28 years and his two sons.

Why am I blogging about you?

I made this post about you, because you are a domainer, or know of domainers. I need your help in selling casino.org to a domainer or an actual casino.
You have much more knowledge than I, in selling domains. While I lost the rights to casino.org I have several hundred other domains I am trying to figure out the value of. I cannot afford to have each one appraised, because of the cost, and the value placed by an amateur or a cheat is not as realistic as the help you could offer.

Sometimes heavy traffic is generated by only the name of the site. The more common the name, the more traffic you will receive. Without any marketing or any form of advertising, its possible to make millions on the name of your site alone.

While I no longer have access to one of those easy names. I was previously trying to sell the name casino.org

I could not get anywhere near the offer, the owner wanted. It seems, even though you said it was a hot property, you seemed to offer very little in terms of help.
If you are interested in purchasing the name casino.org, simply make us an offer. The asking price is 2.5 million.

Do your research and understand that with an easy name like casino.org, you will make your money back quickly.

Rick Schwartz President eRealestate.com and T.R.A.F.F.I.C. is very rich

Rick Schwartz, President & Co-Founder
eRealestate.com and T.R.A.F.F.I.C.

Rick Schwartz, aka "Domain King" and "Webfather", is the CEO and Co-founder of T.R.A.F.F.I.C. As one of the early domain pioneers dating back to 1995, Rick has a knack for predicting big trends and getting it right. He may have been the first to recognize the value of "Type in" traffic which is now commonly referred to as "direct navigation” - the most potent and targeted traffic on the net. Traffic converting 2X-5X that of regular "Search" traffic. Rick has a prime portfolio of one and two word domains, and is considered by many to be among the leading experts on domain names, traffic, website flow and valuation. Besides eRealEstate.com and domains like Candy.com, Properties.com, Tradeshows.com, Widgets.com, ChristmasCarols.com and some 5000 others, Rick is also an accomplished businessman in several other industries including furniture, lighting and advertising. He ran one of the most profitable and efficient home based businesses with no employees back in the early 1990's out of a 10 x 10 bedroom. He sold it for over 7 figures freeing his time to devote exclusively to the Internet in 1998. Rick also sold men.com for $1.3 million in a cash deal that was finalized in May 2004. A domain name that he bought for $15,000 in 1997. Many attribute that sale to help jump starting the domain space at a time considered the lowest point the domain business has seen because of the collapse of Web 1.0. Rick also likes to remind people that after the collapse, domains were one of the few things to stand strong and thrive.It also cemented his main theory that "Domains would go up faster in value than any commodity ever know to mankind." Laughed at in 1995 and 1996 it is FACT today. No stock, no land, no gold, no jewel has ever gone up faster and further in value. In over a decade nobody has ever challenged this statement and his greatest disappointment is nobody has ever drilled down that statement to see what it means and the impact it will have for generations to come. "The business leaders of the world have largely missed the greatest opportunity in their lifetime, their fathers lifetime and their father's before them."

Rick also sold "PartnerCash.com in July 2005 for $110,000 that was purchased in 1998 for $35 and points to hundreds if not thousands of domains that shared the same destiny. Most are unknown and will never be reported. In August 2005 he bought Property.com for $750,000 tying him for the highest reported domain purchase of 2005 at that point in time. More importantly than the handful of domains that Rick has sold, are the domains that he still owns and has turned down tens of millions of dollars in offers. Rick turns down million dollar offers for his properties on a continuing basis. He cites his 20 year plan and vows not to change course. He says that of all the ingredients of success, none are more important than "Patience and timing."

Rick also runs the premiere domain forum on the net in which the top domainers and sponsors in the world are invited to participate and join. His members read like the Who's who of the domain channel. It is known as the hardest website on the net to get into. While others beg for traffic, Rick and his members screens every applicant before they are accepted to keep things focus on business and not the normal personal banter that goes on outside the walls of his private sanctuary. Thus the basis for T.R.A.F.F.I.C. being a tradeshow that is by invitation only. Attendees agree that this is one of the most important features of the show as it guarantees a productive investment of their valuable time as they break bread with the "Biggest and the Best" in a warm and cordial environment. Rick has a solid track record of accomplishments but none reach the level of the satisfaction of creating the T.R.A.F.F.I.C. conference which he believes has accelerated the industry in ways that can never truly be measured but will have an impact that can never be denied. In 2007 Rick became a founding board member of the ICA. A non-profit association designed to protect and defend the rights of domain name owners throughout the world and to articulate a "Code of Ehthics" that domain owners can embrace and abide by..

The real internet billionaires. It all starts with a domain name.

Sometimes heavy traffic is generated by only the name of the site. The more common the name, the more traffic you will receive. Without any marketing or any form of advertising, its possible to make millions on the name of your site alone.

I have access to one of those easy names. I am selling the name casino.org

If you are interested in purchasing the name casino.org, simply make us an offer. The asking price is 2.5 million.

The real internet billionaires - what is this blog about?

This blog will identify the real internet billionaires.
Most have made their money in internet gaming. This blog will explore the following:
  • Who are they?
  • What were there websites?
  • How much did they make?
  • Where do they live?
  • What country did they set up their internet company?
  • How much did they sell their internet company for?
  • Why are they hiding?
  • How do I find them?
Many blogs that are about billionaires and millionaires are actually dreams, wishes and goals. This blog is different in that its about people that did not make it by selling adsense or affiliate programs, and not by super traffic, but by creating addictive games that cost money to play. Most were millionaires over night, many became billionaires. I am hitting hard and revealing as much as possible about the real internet billionaires.
