As another week passes through all of our lives, thousands of new names will have been registered, thousands more changing hands for vast amounts of money, and thousands more millionaires created around the world. Unfortunately on my current standings the only place where I would be a millionaire would be in some strange Russian state experiencing ridiculous inflation. So why more cash in the coffers as this weeks title?? Well not my coffers obviously, but the domain registrars.
Ok I'll stop moaning - firstly no new purchases made this week...........for the second week in a row, mainly because I am having a small cash flow crisis (the reality of modern day domaining for people new to the business)! However the market in general continues to bound along - some news in the domaining world for you.....crusies.co.uk sells for the highest amount ever for a .co.uk at a massive $1million dollars! Whilst 4x4.co.uk sold for $75,000 dollars. Imagine having the foresight to have bought names like that.
Well that really sums up domaining, having the faith and forsight to spot a new trend, the next big thing, and then register the names before everyone else. Well thats the plan anyway, and means its a bit of a long term view to take, but who knows perhaps I will blindly stumble on something good ;)
Ok so how much money did I make last week. Well from my google adsense adverts a massive £3.53 - ok again not much but I am seeing a definate trend in the popularity of my original few names, and I am getting lots of clicks. However I need to increase the value of them, and somehow get me other sites bringing in some revenue as well! Simple.
Finally I think I mentioned before every week more and more people are adding the buythemap blog to their favourites list. Firstly thanks, very kind of you, its not really that exciting!! So to make it worth your while a quick joke.
Sausage and an egg in a frying pan and the sausage says ''ahh its getting hot in here!"
And the egg says......."ahhhh - ahhhh - ahhh a talking sausage!!!"
