The last few months I’ve posted xx Domains Names you Can Register Today at the end of the month. Today someone offered me $250 for exclusive access to my list I was going to post on Friday for September.
While that email was a surprise to me, for some reason, I think my site traffic also spiked. I haven’t had a chance to check my stats yet, but I received 7 emails asking about the list in one day where I’ve had exactly three emails in the last two months about the same subject.
Monetizing my list really wasn’t on my agenda going forward, so I accepted this one offer under the condition that I can post the unregistered names with my end of October list. This will either be a one-time experiment, or if it does develop into something else, I’ll try to tier my list so I can continue with my free list series.
In the mean time, I’ll try and get a few posts during the month to satisfy your domain name jones.
Your traffic spiked because of a link from Sahar Said’s site http://www.conceptualist.com
Thanks for the info Mark!
Very interesting development and a nice compliment. Seems like he’s saying, “You’re so good at this, I’ll pay you just to see if there are opportunities I might want to pursue.”
I’m curious, did this turn into another transaction? Did he buy any domains from you?

Sorry I missed your comment when it came in.
Did it turn into another transaction? Yes.
Did he buy any from me? No.
Though reading into his comment that I am “so good at this,” I’d disagree with. I’m a part-time domainer and stumble upon a few nuggets every now and then.
Based on a few email conversations with him regarding my lists, it is my opinion is that he is more interested in how and why I choose my keywords rather than the actual domains.
I’ve invited him to share his view if he so desires.
