Today, a very interesting challenge has been proposed. Take a $500 initial investment and see how much money you can turn it into by January 1st, 2017 through domain sales only. The idea is fascinating. If you decide to take part, documenting participation in a public discussion may motivate you to make the most of the initial $500 investment.
Elsewhere, the downturn in pricing of Chinese premium domains (Chips) has resulted in some excellent discussions on whether this is the best time to buy Chips or whether this is the start of the bubble bursting.
What Are the Worst Domains You've Registered?
It's likely that every domain investor has, at some point, registered a terrible domain name. In this conversation, the domain community discusses some of their worst domain name registrations ever. These names include SwigADiggle.com, 3x3r9.com, and Queeraculous.com. What is the worst domain name you have ever registered? Add it to the discussion.

Now Is the Time to Buy 6N .COMs
6N .COMs (six-number .COM domains) have often been a divisive topic, with some investors particularly drawn to this market whilst others see these as a step too far to have any practical value. This week, a Forex analyst turned domain investor has put forward the reason why now could be the time to invest in 6N .COMs. Is he right? Only time will tell.

SEO Experts Recommend Brandable Domains
According to a recent video from SEO expert Josh Bachynski, it is now recommended that websites are created around shorter, brandable domain names rather than longer exact match domains (EMDs). In the past, exact match domain names had a distinct SEO advantage and were often used by marketers to quickly rank a website.
This discussion debates this claim, with some agreeing with the SEO expert and others still advocating the use of EMDs.

Chinese Premium Domains Are Not What You Think They Are
The term Chinese premium (Chip) was originally coined for four-letter .COM domains that don't contain the letters a, e, i, o, u, or v. Since its creation, the phrase has been expanded to other TLDs and domain lengths. Chips have been somewhat of a lifeline to some investors and marketplaces over the past year, but is it just a fad?
One domainer commented on the subject using some research of China's top websites as well as their experiences from living in China for five years.

The $500 Challenge
Investor @Shane Bellone has proposed a very interesting challenge to any community member: take $500, invest it, and see how high your return on investment (ROI) will be by January 1st, 2017. You can only reinvest using profits from your original $500 budget, and all domain sales must be documented.
Will you take part in this? If so, join the conversation and see how far your $500 can take you by the beginning of next year.
