Domain Names

I got addicted to domain names in the beginning of 2007 and the addiction is getting worse. I am holding around 200 names..some of them are parked with monetizing programs like sedo and namedrive.

My latest adventure in this matter is signing up with whypark.com. There, you just have to point your domain to their servers, and enter your choice of keywords, their system automatically creates content for your website by getting related feeds and articles. You supposedly get to keep the entire ppc revenue that is generated.

If you are interested in domain names as an investment, or if you are holding domain names that you have not been able to develop, it is good idea to park them or sign up with a company like whypark. Also, it does not hurt put the name on sale. The offer you get may be more than what you could have made by developing the domain.

Most of my domains have been registered through Godaddy.com. There are hundreds of other registrars, but I find Godaddy the easiest to work with.

More later on domains. I will be posting on my experience with namedrive, sedo and whypark in more detail in seperate posts.

I have also registered domains with dot.tk , that end with .tk instead of .com, but I managed to get great generic one word domains there. These same words with a .com extension would have definitely bought me a mansion large enough to hold a couple of my private planes while I am on my yacht. For example, I have BAHRAIN.TK and AIRFARES.TK. These are just two of the nearly one hundred that I have regsitered.

Try out dot.tk and register your names. They can be registered for free and pointed to your existing website, or you can register them for yearly prices starting at $6.95 per year. Believe me, there are good names sitting around and they are a great long term investment ( 2-3 years) . not bad at less than $7.00 per year.
