Came across this article and was a little surprised by it. Bill Sweetman at NameNinja, posted an article titled "Seven Deadly Mistakes To Avoid When Buying A Domain Name".
Here is a summary of the 7 Points:
1. Never try to contact the domain owner directly.
2. Don’t keep re-visiting the landing page or Website associated with your target domain name.
3. Don’t submit an inquiry or offer for the domain name via your domain registrar or the domain’s landing page
4. Don’t publicly announce the name of your new venture until you’ve gotten your target domain name.
5. Don’t register a bunch of alternative TLD versions of your target domain immediately prior to you attempting to acquire the target domain.
6. Hold off on filing a trademark until you’ve gotten the matching domain name.
7. Don’t get ‘married’ to your target domain until you know for sure you can get it.
I don't know about you, but I'm not sure I'm on board with these recommendations. What do you think?
