How Are You Playing The Expired Domain Game?

 Mark As Read    

There are so many domainers that live for the domain drop. Some domainers spend hours daily sifting through countless expired domain lists. Who said that domainers were lazy? Some people use expired domain lists to search for domain names with traffic while some focus solely on quality domain names. If you are lucky, you may find

Sale = Development Opportunity

 Mark As Read    

I own the website DebtAssistanceClinic.com - clearly not an optimal domain name. I had several pages of content created for DebtCollectors.com before I sold that one, and I used the articles for this made up name, and the site has been live for around a year. Earlier this year, I bought the much stronger keyword Related posts:Missed Opportunity:...

The Ego Stroke. Does Size Matter? Yes! Small wins!

 Mark As Read    

Morning Folks!! The ego stroke. "I bought 5 million hits for .001 each." The 2009 version of my dick is bigger than yours.....EXCEPT...... I bought 5 million hits and got no sales. The bigger ego would say, "I bought 100 visitors for $500 and had 5 sales that will become repeat customers." So if size matters, traffic counts. The source of traffic c...

Nothing to Hide (.co.uk)-- Warning: Contains Nudity

 Mark As Read    

Re: nothing-to-hide.co.uk/ An example of what a skincare domain can do. In their own words "elave commissioned this risqué eye-catching method of communicating the serious message that elave has no worrying chemicals in its formulations and therefore ‘nothing to hide’.

DO NOT BUY BBI.net

BBI.net is listed in the most recent DN Journal as having sold for $11,800. Someone (who is now banned) was trying to sell it on Namepros (and possibly elsewhere) for $3500.. Obviously something is up here. I'm not sure if the guy paid Namemedia (previous owner of the domain) with bad funds or whether he's trying to sell a domain he doesn't own but...

One Letter Domains
