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! I found a sample essay, possibly better Observation Essay for success.

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! Garbiel tells me about hosting reseller guide

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!
