I really would love to see a huge return on investment so in that manner, yes, I am in it for the money

But I also really enjoy coming up with new, unregistered domain names. Especially making up my own words or ideas. I kind of see having the domain name as proving that it was my idea.. for some things..

Also I think it's awsome that some of the names and website ideas I've come up with and sold are now websites with bright futures. I feel like I am, in some small way, making my mark on society and the internet.

And finally, I just don't wanna miss out on something.. LOL

For me at first..it was something that I had to do, needed a domain to move my free site too! Then it became a way to make extra money..now I enjoy the challenge and the thrill of finding a good paying keyword domain or a good traffic expired domain or even out bidding someone for a domain! I quess I am a Domainaholic (is there a 12 step meeting near!)

Spending my kids inheritance.

I'm sure they would just waste it anyways.

Most are for money though some in the process of making money love to register domains.

the feeling of accomplishment when you just finished a brand new project and give it the perfect domain, makes me feel good

For plain good o'l fun, I enjoy the rush of finding a nice name, Regging it, developing it, advertise and market it, Then watch it grow like a chiapet

scooby47 · 07-15-2007, 07:12 AM

Well said! also spending my kids inheritance

but there is a significant ROI so guess if I croak it they are the winners not losers on that! and we also develop a significant % of names (currently 9%) and its looking pretty damn fine ..

Aside from that .. defensive reg's re our online operations and its an interesting and challenging "space" that merits the investment

Just my view

By selling domains I collected in the past I have been able to afford a decent domain name for a website that I'm about to develop. I believe that the prices on domains will continue to rise as the internet grows.

So it is always good to have some domains to "trade" for that particular name, when you finally decide what you want to develop.

I register domain names because its easier and faster for people and me to access my sites.

AzN · 07-15-2007, 11:14 AM
