Ok so as I have mentioned in my first blog entry below I have already started the game and I have entered the domain market. So obviously I am new to this so I wanted to do some experimenting, I wanted to try different names and how they would work for traffic. And as always with me I probably got a bit over excited and bought too many names but as they say you have to speculate to accummulate.
So the first purchases were Plooka.com as I thought this was a brandable name and a .com these tend to be the most prestigious. The second was what I hope was a cool one Hipoh.com again a .com and I thought a quirky name that sounded like something. My third purchase was digbooks.com as books are such a popular thing to buy I thought I could make this in to a website for digital books. Now at the moment I have not done anything with these names and they are currently listed on Sedo.co.uk - this is somewhere where you can buy and sell names, and whilst you await a bid for sale Sedo put adverts on your site and if someone clicks on them they will pay me some money.
Now the next thing I did was see what people search for on the net, online IQ tests were popular and using WindowsMediaPlayer. So I wanted to see if I could get some sites where people would search on google and would come to my sites. Thus I bought ShortOnlineIQTest.com and WindowMediaPlayerdownload.com I have listed these two sites on search engines, written some content and put google adsense advertising on them. Hopefully as people come to the sites they will again use the links and I will get money.
I took two further strategies, 1. I wanted to see if I could buy names where if people mispelled the names when typing in to the search bar they would again come to my sites. I looked for some popular sites and mispelled them, this caused me to buy Telergaph.co.uk and Rightmoev.com - Lets see how the traffic works out, as you just don't know until you try.
2. I wanted to buy some one word domain names that again I could get listed on search engines and as people typed in the names they would come to my sites. If I can get one word names the chances are if you google that one word my site is more likely to come up. So I bought Parol.co.uk and Epithelial.net - two subjects I have no idea about but after a lot of searching I found they were avaliable and again - lets just try it. So these are my first sites!
Ok so I know what your thinking... what a strange choice of names, why these? The reason for this is that there are some very rich people out there that have spotted this market a long time ago. They got in early and they have taken up many of the best domains, a bit of a modern gold rush. Very little quality is left, apparantly all 3 letter and 4 letter .com domain names have been sold and most dictionary names are gone. So I have been searching thousands of possible names to find what is avaliable and chose the best. I can't explain everything straight away but as I contribute to the blog more, more of my methods will be revealed. Now will England beat Croatia in the football, I predict 2-0 to England...(and I promise I won't change that)! Ahh as I was just typing this Croatia score.....Doh!
