Adam Epstein It was serendipity when Adam J. Epstein saw a Craiglist listing for a legal consultant who understood Internet business issues. As an attorney and Internet entrepreneur, Epstein was experienced in legal and business issues. While meeting with James Wyatt Hill, adMarketplace's Chairman, the two immediately recognized a shared value system and business philosophy of being the best at what you do—no matter what. Shortly thereafter, Epstein was hired as General Counsel. One of his first achievements in this role was to guide adMarketplace through the negotiation of an exclusive marketing relationship with eBay. This accomplishment, along with his natural leadership ability, led Hill to tap Epstein as President and Chief Operating Officer. Assuming the role in 2006, Epstein used strategic vision, sales and negotiation skills, and careful budget management to build adMarketplace into a profitable entity in just two short years. Today the company experiences 50 percent year-over-year growth. Before adMarketplace, in 2000, Epstein founded AlternaCast, a VoIP audio conferencing provider. AlternaCast produced the ahead-of-its-time property Fancast, which was among the first services where users could broadcast their own talk shows (later known as Podcasts). After completing his BA at Columbia University in 1995, he then received his JD from the University of Michigan Law School in 1998 - where he was awarded top honors in Professor J.J. White's legendary Negotiation seminar. He is a resident of Maplewood, New Jersey who enjoys golf and basketball (playing and spectating), as well as grilling for his wife and sons. |

Rick Schwartz Rick Schwartz, aka "Domain King" and "Webfather", is the CEO and Cofounder 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. 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, Widgets.com, Tradeshows.com, JointVentures.com, TopSecret.com, Cheapest.com and some 4000 others plus one of the top adult portfolios in the world, that include domains like, Porno.com, Ass.com, Orgy.com, Voyeur.com, Personalads.com, Horny.com, Booty.com and Sexo.com which is "Sex" in Spanish, along with 2000 other high profile names. 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 jump starting the domain space at a time considered the lowest point the domain business has seen. 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. Rick has a string of 6 figure domain sales back to the 1999 sale of eScore.com to Kaplan Educational Services, eCruise.com to iCruise.com and the sale of "PartnerCash.com in 2006 for $110,000. All purchased for $35-$100. He sold iReport.com to CNN in 2008 for $750,000. This domain may become one of the most advertised domains ever as CNN deploys their new weapon in the media war of survival. Another domain he bought for registration fees. His domain 236.com sold in 2007 is now being used as a production between IAC, and The Huffington Post. His latest blockbuster sale was Candy.com for $3 Million in the summer of 2009. So it is evident that Rick has tapped into something that corporate America is interested in. In 2005 he bought Property.com for $750,000 as well as many other 6 figure purchases throughout the years. He estimates his portfolio to be worth well in excess of $100 Million and took about $5 million to acquire all his holdings. At one time Rick ran the premiere domain forum on the net in which the top domainers and sponsors in the world were invited to participate and join. His members read like the Who's-Who of the domain channel. It was known as the hardest website on the net to get into. While others beg for traffic, Rick and his members screened every applicant before they are accepted. Rick is a Founding Member of the ICA. The ICA is a Non-Profit group looking out for the best interests of domain owners and investors. Lastly Rick operates one of the most popular blogs in the business at RicksBlog.com. He is on record with events he sees coming long before they actually materialize. He takes on anyone and everyone and is never too shy to tell it like it is. His frank manner abd subject matter make his blog a daily must read. |

Elliot founded his first domain investment and monetization company, Top Notch Domains, LLC, in 2003 while in graduate school at NYU. The company owns a strong portfolio of generic domain names and websites, including Torah.com, Newburyport.com, Oenophiles.com, AthensVacations.com, DebtManagementTips.com, JerusalemVacations.com, and many other generic domain names. Recently, Elliot started Silver Internet Ventures, LLC, an Internet media company whose developed web properties include Burbank.com, Lowell.com, Dreidel.com, and TropicalBirds.com. While studying for his Master’s Degree in Direct and Interactive Marketing, Elliot learned about the high value of domain names receiving targeted type-in traffic. “A person who types exactly what they are looking for into their browser is a more valuable prospect than a person using a search engine. This person knows exactly what they want, and if the website can provide the information that this person is seeking, then they benefit, as does the owner of that site. It can be the most cost effective way to generate targeted leads.” In 2008, Elliot Silver was honored with a Domainers Choice Award for ElliotsBlog.com, which was voted best Domain Blog, and a Name Intelligence Award for ElliotsBlog.com for Best Domain Blog Community. Elliot is originally from Nashua, NH, but currently makes his home on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, where he is an avid Red Sox and Patriots fan. |

Ron is also an active domain owner himself. With a portfolio of more than 6,000 domains he is the only professional journalist who has intimate knowledge of how this industry works as well as direct contacts with many of the pioneers who built it. Ron began his media career as News Director of an Ohio radio station before moving on to TV. He spent 17 years as a news and sports anchor/reporter at ABC and CBS television stations in Tampa, Florida. An entrepreneur at heart, Ron decided to open his own business in 1989 when he rolled out the first in a series of successful record stores. His mail order division became known worldwide as a leading source for music memorabilia. During this time he discovered the power of the Internet when he was able to replace his expensive national magazine ads with a website in 1997. Business exploded while his advertising costs dropped to a fraction of what they had been before. Just a few years later, when file sharing and downloading started causing problems for music retailers, he recognized that the Internet would permanently change his industry and most others forever. Sensing a new opportunity that dwarfed everything he had seen before, Ron walked away from the music business and entered the domain industry in 2002. As he began acquiring domains (the key components of the most important communications medium of all time) he was surprised to find that this vital industry did not have it's own trade magazine. Ron filled that void by debuting DNJournal.com on New Year's Day 2003. The unique combination of professional writing with his insider's perspective resulted in a publication that has been embraced by individuals and companies operating in the space. DN Journal is now regarded as one of the "institutions" in this dynamic young industry. |
