| What to Do with your Domains... |
A user just asked me to write a little bit about what to DO w/ domains you've bought - since you don't want to have them up on some shelf gathering dust, here's a few quick ideas
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

| 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

| Treasure Hunting: Deleted Domains |
Treasure...just the word conjures up ideas of opening a chest buried under the sea for 200 years and having gold medallions and sparkling precious stones fall out. But while the analogy may be accurate in that hidden "treasure" domains may be just as hard to find as real life treasures, in reality these kinds of finds are more akin to the kind of treasures that archaeologists find.

| When You Should Fork to Buy Your Company's Domain |
Since the .com version of most names have long been gone, new companies face a dilemma when trying to go online. Do we add a "the" to our name? Do we go w/ the .net., org. etc? Do we add an "inc" to the end? Or should we make an effort to acquire our exact name, whatever the cost?
As anybody doing business online can tell you, your URL does matter. A lot in fact. And whether or not you can go

| Why .info Domains Are a Good Investment |
When I first saw the .info domain names being offered, I thought "no way, too many characters. Too UNinternet sounding. Not cool enough. Who needs another TLD anyway?" Boy was I wrong.
In the last year Newyork.info went for $22,000 on Sedo.com Casino.info, over $20,000. At one point it was silly how easy these names were to acquire too! Not much competition, seen as 2nd class citizens in the

| Domain Buying Analysis: 1dex.com |
1dex.com is a domain I found on a deleted domain list. Scanning these lists is a veeeery tedius and eyeball straining activity, but one that can oncover some potentially valuable domains.
While I'm not all that familiar with the websites & businesses that use the term "dex" - at first glance I thought the URL was just kind of catchy. Upon Googling the word, I soon discovered that the term "dex"

| Lessons from the Million Dollar Sale of Men.com |
Late last year, one exceptionally lucky guy in Florida managed to sell his domain name for $1.3 million (he bought men.com in 1997 for $15,000). Now folks are thinking the dot-com gold rush is back on, and they're ready to pounce on stupid domains like mydomainisdumb.com or ibetI'llsellthisformillions.com. I say hold off on the domain squatting. You are not going to get rich. from Domain hipe

| Why You Should Register YourName.com |
I recently had a discussion with a guy who's a bit of a mover and shaker, freelances for places like ABC News, among others - and believe it or not, he hadn't thought about registering his own name as a URL. I offered the idea that perhaps somebody ELSE would get the bright idea to register it, and put up a "this guy sucks" website, or worse.
I know they've passed some cyber squatting

| IDN Domains - Are Multilingual Domain Names Worth it? |
A few years back the answer was clearly NO. Some webmasters today still agree that they are a waste of time. But times may be changing.
Multilingual domains, or "Internationalized Domain Names" - are ones that use accent marks & other multilingual characters like ñ, í, é, etc. These domains are unreadable by the majority of browsers being used today, although you can enable these characters by

| Domain Buying Analysis: Books.io |
Let's look at 1 of the domains on my list: Books.io
Depending on how the market responds to ccTLDs in the future, Books.io could be one of the most valuable domains in my portfolio. Or not... it depends a lot on whether some other .io domains get picked up by mainstream people who
1) can't get the keyword anywhere more mainstream
2) take a liking to how "io" looks & sounds
