I felt a little conned when, a few thousand words on how I should not settle on a name and pay up for a good domain, I discovered that the author runs a domain portfolio website. If that would have been mentioned up front, I would have taken the above-mentioned advice with more of a grain of salt.


First line of the article: "I’ve learned a lot from the development of NameLayer, and I’m ready to divulge every trick in my arsenal." Pretty upfront.


Ah, I am just stupid for not recognising that as a full disclosure (I did not know NameLayer before).


And ironically, the name "NameLayer" doesn't give much insight into what kind of business it is...


That's some pretty sweet irony right there. The author should have dipped into some humility.
