Domain Addicto - Tales from a Domain Buying Addict

Rantings & ravings about researching, buying, & selling domains. Which tlds are the best? How much are .bz and .tv URLs really worth? Should men.com really have sold for over a million bucks? How about IDNs, will mañana.com really be worth something someday? Caramba too much to research, too little time!

Merry Xmas and Feliz Navidad!

Wow there are actually people reading this blog - I'm delighted about that! While I've gotten a little sidetracked developing a few of my domains (eLanguages.info is going to be an awesome site!) - I have not abandoned this blog and remain as addicted to buying domains as ever! I have a list of about 20 things I'd like to write about, but as I've done NO Christimas shopping, I'll have to return to blogging once I have the holiday thing a bit more under control.

Happy Holidays to all fellow bloggers & readers!

Don't go yet! We are all still waiting for you to admit that spending cash on all of those domains was a mistake and a waste of money. :) Happy 2005!

Wow a cynic among the bunch - what a surprise! We'll see who laughs last. And if you don't think Domain buying has any merit, I wonder why you waste your time reading my blog.

Get a life dude.

Could you focus more on what to do with the domains? What to point them to, etc.

Sure! I have about 20 topics in my notes that I'd like to write about, and I'll make sure to include how to deal with domains you've bought. A quick recap for you of what I do w/ my current domains:
1- park them at Sedo and list them for sale (appears to be a bit lame, but at least it produces statistics that can help you decide which to develop and which are probably stinkers).

2- point them to your existing sites in order to gain type in traffic

3- find cheap hosting someplace like Webintellects.com and develop a site - even if it's just a skeleton, it can begin developing some pagerank in Google

4- get cheap hosting and put a BLOG up in the space

5- create your own "parked page" at your host - GoDaddy allows you a free page you can semi customize - you can put anything from a business card to an ad for something

thanks for reading the blog!
