    Anyone attending WF/Rick's Domain Traffic Conference?

    The World Association of Domain Name Developers Inc. announced this week that it has scheduled its T.R.A.F.F.I.C. 2004 (targetedtraffic.com) conference to take place between October 20 and 23, 2004 at the Delray Beach Marriott Resort in Delray Beach, Florida.

    Conference founders Rick Schwarz and Howard Neu call domains "the real estate of the new century," adding that, "Just like bricks and mortar real estate, the key to success in the virtual world is location, location and location."

    Schwartz owns almost 5,000 domains, including candy.com, and sold men.com for $1.3 million last year. Neu is a Fort Lauderdale attorney specializing in Internet law.

    T.R.A.F.F.I.C. 2004 will explore online traffic produced by effective domains, and how they generate revenue for their owners. Other sponsors include Fabulous.com, Hitfarm.com, Pool.com, Kanoodle.com, Parkingdots.com, FMA.com and Stoeser.com.

    The conference will be led by keynote speaker Ben Stein, a well-known actor and author. Industry leaders will lead seminars discussing how to increase revenue streams through more effective targeting of online traffic.

    reg fees:

        I'm thinking of going, but I have to round up a fake family so I can get the family discount:

        I wonder how much Ben Stein cost? He's a great speaker and a funny guy.

          it would be nice to network, but I'm worried about the domain drops during those 3 days. seriously thinking about it though.

                  don't worry, I took you off my ignore list, so we don't need to fight now. besides, you would probably win... I'm too old to fight and I haven't worked out for 2 days...

                    I'm finalizing plans to attend. Taboo, just bring a laptop or mooch off someone else's for the drops (other drop addicts will understand), and put in early top bids where you can instead of waiting until the last minute.

                          mooch off another domainers laptop during drops? like that would ever happen. LOL.

                            I'll be there. I will probably miss the first day though due to the Jet Set Getaway.

                              Good point. Okay, then use the hotel business center.

                              As for AVM, swap nametags with someone big, or write a menacing name on your tag. Why does your ass need kicking by him anyway?

                                  He loves to piss in people's domain threads and mock their domains, most of the drama started when I first came to GFY, here in this thread:

                                  investing in domains...
                                  http://bbs.gofuckyourself.com/showth...hreadid=338092

                                  and when I started discussing different strategies ( 1 2 3 4 5 6 ) for playing the domain game, AFM started ranting. everyone has their own tactics and measure of success, which he fails to comprehend.

                                  Thanks for your advice, but if I make it to the event, I'll feel safe walking around as me.

                                    Ah, just read a bit of that one. Jeez, that doesn't even qualify as piss on GFY. That's like saying "hello" on GFY.

                                    Hope you make it, maybe you'll leak some more strategies.

                                      except AFM decided to get progressively worse over time.

                                      yes, my ultimate goal is to reveal all the industry secrets.</joking>

                                      there are no real secrets, only resources & tools that are more effective than others. well, maybe a few secrets...
