Choosing a good domain

[Head Boy]

Hi,

Domains are so cheap now that I go on hunting forays and if I see a good one, I grab it. I then develop the site later when I've got time. I never seem to be able to find a domain for a specific project when I need it, which is why I like to keep a few "on the shelf".

Don't ask me. I just purchased buttplugballfan.com the other day. (true) What niche would that be? Unless you intend on buying a bunch of domains, you may be better off just buying a more generic porn name that will fit many niches.

Yeah, that's what I'm doin' - keeping a few "on the shelf"! It's not that I tend to register whatever catches my fancy, even if it has absolutely nothing to do with what I was actually looking for...I'm planning ahead!

That's just what I tell myself.

Actually it's worked out quite well, as I've even sold some names for amounts between $100 and $1,000. I also get some parking revenue and signups from the "dormant" ones.

I personally recommend that a newbies first domain be 1 that is "generic" That way you can take the time to see what niche you are able to market the best and thus make the most money from
