The Return of Available Domain Names

Filed under: Domain Names — Shawn at 5:21 pm on Friday, December 7, 2007

Here’s a fresh list of 32. Go and get ‘em.

And speaking of domains, the owner of bartype.com/net/org asked me to post a note that this grouping is for sale. His development plans fell through and he is looking to recoup some fundage. BarType.com was going to be a social network for the bar/bar employee crowd, but bartype also has roots in Java.

Contact info is available on the WHOIS record if interested and let him know you saw it here.

Ten Rules for Startup Success from Loic Lie Meur

Filed under: Business — Shawn at 11:10 pm on Wednesday, December 5, 2007

Snagged from Financial Times, a profile of French entrepreneur, Loic Le Meur.

  1. Don’t wait for a revolutionary idea. It will never happen. Just focus on a simple, exciting, empty space and execute as fast as possible
  2. Share your idea. The more you share, the more you get advice and the more you learn. Meet and talk to your competitors.
  3. Build a community. Use blogging and social software to make sure people hear about you.
  4. Listen to your community. Answer questions and build your product with their feedback.
  5. Gather a great team. Select those with very different skills from you. Look for people who are better than you.
  6. Be the first to recognise a problem. Everyone makes mistakes. Address the issue in public, learn about and correct it.
  7. Don’t spend time on market research. Launch test versions as early as possible. Keep improving the product in the open.
  8. Don’t obsess over spreadsheet business plans. They are not going to turn out as you predict, in any case.
  9. Don’t plan a big marketing effort. It’s much more important and powerful that your community loves the product.
  10. Don’t focus on getting rich. Focus on your users. Money is a consequence of success, not a goal.

Geo - Keyword Domaining

Filed under: Domain Names — Shawn at 2:09 pm on Sunday, November 18, 2007

Moniker held their Geo Domain Auction and by many regards, it was failure. I had a couple friends there looking for bargains for me and walked away empty handed for a couple of reasons; an emphasis on geo-location domains (rather than geo-keyword) and inflated reserve pricing.

From a content perspective geo-keyword domains can be heavily monetized, but they often require patience and some minor content generation. But this also brings up another idea why this this auction may not have been successful as prior Moniker auctions, domain availability. I took a quick merge of geo-locations (all 50 states and the top 50 US cities & some popular city abbreviations) combined with some keywords that could be worthy enough to warrant local search and generated about 1200 domain names to check availability.

The results, 190 open domains just waiting to be registered or over 15% of my list. Here is the list and hurry before I change my mind on some these.

Great Quotes: Eleventh in a Series

Filed under: Quotes — Shawn at 2:01 pm on Friday, November 9, 2007

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
     — Mark Twain

40 Domains For Sale Today

Filed under: Domain Names — Shawn at 1:39 pm on Friday, November 2, 2007

I’m pruning my domains, many of the following have or have had affiliate programs, parking programs, content or are live sites with content. Contact me if there is interest and we can go from there (for stats regarding traffic, parking revenue, affiliate revenue, etc) - just leave a note in the comments, and I’ll send you an email in return. As many of these are up against renewals in the next 120 days, I’d be willing let quite a few them go in the $20/domain range. Others have a solid revenue history and I’d be more than willing to negotiate on an appropriate multiple.

Many of these have Google PR, many have a solid archive.org history, and some of these have Domain Age going back to 2001/2002, with the bulk in 2003/2004.
