The cost of short term thinking is always paid at the expense of ecosystems. Domains are no exception, as +70% are used for quick returns -from ad parking to cybercrimes, and so are banned. Enduser domain sales are likely under 2% of available inventory. Much of the rest sits idle as product inventory, adding no value to markets -that consider the practice 'squatting', or to a web user's life online.
So yes, I am domaining for the long term. Not just by investing in future tech properties -whose value goes-up, over time, as their role in the marketplace increases. But also by bringing life to as many domains as I can, as content showcases in their fields -or as basic product or service providers.
This not only gets the domains ranked in search, adding value. But also increases mindshare with market endusers, helps earn some money along the way, and makes the web ecosystem more useful and rewarding for those who take the time to surf my way.
