Speculation Time
The other day I was going over some of my earlier articles posted here. I came across one that particularly caught my attention. Domain name speculation is a subject that involves many aspects. I am posting this excerpt just to refresh all of us on this subject. Enjoy.
Domain name speculation may be tied to current events. If there is something of great interest in the news that is getting a lot of attention, the idea would be to purchase the domain name and sell it quickly, as the opportunity of selling it may be limited.
Being able to find domain names very early in the market is essential. The top level domain of .com is the most sought after as it is well established. Other top level domains such as .net or .info are also used, but not as popular.
Other domain name speculation techniques are secondary market domains. These are domain names that have previously been registered but have expired. These domain names can be profitable as well. They have age associated with the name and established back links that may still bring visitors to the site.
Pre-owned domains with short names are greatly in demand. Three letter domains are near impossible to find, but upcoming expiration for these domain names can be watched and purchased quickly when they do expire.
Doing a little research, watching market trends and keeping an eye on current events can payoff. Not a bad way to make a living really. Sitting in front of you computer all day, researching.
In this Holiday season I might suggest a domain name gift to someone special. I have been doing this for years. Check the availability of the persons name, like JohnSmith.com, or SusieBlue.net. I have given these personal names quite often and they are a “Big Hit” on the receiving end.
