About

Elliot’s Blog is written by Elliot J. Silver, an Internet entrepreneur and domain industry veteran. 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, DogWalker.com,  Newburyport.com, Oenophiles.com, AthensVacations.com, JerusalemVacations.com, this blog, and many other generic domain names.

In 2008, Elliot founded 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 he is looking for into his browser is a more valuable prospect than a person who uses a search engine.  This person knows exactly what he wants, and if the website can provide the information wanted, then he benefits, 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 with his wife and dog, where he is an avid Red Sox and Patriots fan. His mom reads his blog every day, so be nice.
