Selling porn allows me to stay in a constant state of Bliss - ain't that a trip!

It's also so wierd to be letting so many names drop

I used to have a shitload of names - more than I could develop. You know, from back when we were all making money hand over fist, mailbox full of checks, and it seemed like a good idea to reinvest some of that money in names.

Some of those names weren't terrible you know - just never utilized to their potential.

Many were shitty names - back then I was doing great in the search engines, so i bought a metric ton of hyphenated names, because at the time a peculiarity in google made hypenated names work.

Nowadays hyphenated names are crap - what's valuable is brandable names, decent .coms, stuff like that.

Well, I just don't see the point in keeping a lot of these names so I been slowly letting them drop. Bye name! Not gonna spend $xx to keepya.

With a new month coming up I always have to look at my potential drops.

So I just switched a few names from autorenew to manual - always a wierd feeling.

I'd try to sell them for $10 but really, what's the point?

Here's an example - a name with a shitty splog - I just don't see the point in keeping it...

Then there's shit like this - believe it or not, this kind of garbage actually used to make money, enough to pay for itself many times over.

It's just fucking embarrassing now.

I always meant to do something with it, splog it at least, but, no point now.

Set to manual renew, it's gotta go.

Fuck me, I realized I hadn't received any checks from score, the company whose feeds I use to run that splog, or even looked at the score affiliate website for years, so i figured, dude, go take a look at score and see what you see.

I had $594 bucks in sales there waiting to be paid, because I needed to give them a w-9.

As far as I know, I use score on only that splog, maybe one other - so I'd say it's paying for itself.

Guess i'll keep it

Now don't I feel like an idiot lol.

You know what else is wierd tho - used to be, you'd see that you had made near $600, and you'd be, like "cool".

A $600 check was just one of many checks that week.

Now it's like "That's fuckin GREAT!".

Oh, how the mighty have fallen...

Bill, $600 for a splog isn't that bad ( even if it is over a year or so ). You just gave me a motivation to make a few more.

I've let a lot of names go in the last year.

My LL's domain is cleoslinks.com but somehow over the years cleos-porn-links,com is the one that all my scripts and trades are with so I'm stuck with that one although they both resolve to the same place as does a dozen or so other domains. If only I knew then what I know now.

I remember Tommy saying in a radio show a few years ago: "I made $600 with ARS yesterday".

Bill, we all had or still have those domains-with-keywords-all-hyphened, lol

I too have been trying to windle down my domain list and will keep doing so. I have domains 5-6 years or more that have NEVER been used.

I've just been throwing simple blogs on them. 1 sale pays for 4 years worth of domain registrations.

Man. I think you should hold onto every domain you can. Especially one with "sex toy" in the name. You can change it to something else, but getting rid of it entirely is a bad idea IMO. I always regret letting go of sites.

I'm doing the same thing, I have over 100 domains, and dropping all of them that come due that aren't producing. I still have 3 or 4 I've never put anything on yet, bought them with plans to create something on them. One of them auto renewed the other month and it was like, crap I could have let that go, lol.

$600 checks are cool, I was getting those from CCBill until I lost rank in the last update. Now I'm lucky I get 1/2 of that a week.

I never used to ever let domains drop, but I've definitely taken a long hard look at some stuff that has been sitting undeveloped for ages, and decide to let it go.

On the plus side, I've been able to pick up some domains I wanted for ages, which were sitting around with nothing on them, and owners who did not want to sell.

My number of domain names was compounded of not only owning my own, but also lady designer and Murrays sites

I trimmed a few of the ones I had no use for over the last yr (such as zipsites.com)

I've let a lot go in the past year as well. Just so many that I either had little sites on there with some simple scripts that filter in things from the link list as well as links to sites in the niche.

Then there are the ones where I just never did anything with. So sad. Now my rule is that if I buy a domain a blog is put on there that day with at least something being a way to make money.

Ugh. Still just so much house cleaning I need to do with sponsors and sites. It sucks.

Too lazy. Presumably your point is hyphenateds are in the results.

Didn't say they wouldn't work at all, but, the consensus is they don't confer the advantage they once did. They are thus less valuable for resale.

I can tell you rumors and gossip about google devaluing networks with "too many" hyphenateds, but thats just seo superstition.

wait, I'm not that lazy - lets look.

oh - 1 result, the top result, is a hypenated, the rest of teh top ten are not.

You do remember when nearly every result would have been a hypenated, right?

Actually, you may not realize it, but you have proved my point, not disproved it.

Good on Mark Lambert, the owner - he's done something right for the moment. I wonder what.

what is it with me not typing the 2nd "h" in hyphenated, lol?

Sorry - I missed this completely. It's decent on the main page, but almost useless on the category pages.

The question is, if they confer any advantage. I think that 3 keyword phrases may be worth to try in this case...
