How did you do at 'domaining' in 2009?

[Domain Jedi]

Are you seeing black or red?

Is 2009 your best year yet?

Did you make more at 'domaining' than at your day job?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Best,

DJ

It's only my second year but yes it was my best. I don't flip domains I invest in them so I guess by your metric I would be in the red, though by mine I am very much in the black - with a much improved portfolio and solid parking revenue coming in every month. Since I did not show a net profit for the year domaining I would hope I made more from my 'day job'

All green in 2009! I sold most of my names in the beginning of the year through NamePros, then listed the rest on Sedo and walked away from everything. Sold two names for $xxxx. Everything went better than expected.

Not to bring religion into this however, I do feel very blessed.

Yes I am in the black.

Yes 2009 has been my very best year (I started in 2004).

My best year also only because I started selling some names instead of just parking

I'm in the mid range also with my best year yet by far..... and I turned low $xxxx for a name yesterday and have a mid $xxx offer on another one today. Sliding right into 2010!

Easy best year

Easily my best year switched from ppc to cpa and the payoff has been huge from $xxxx to $xxxxxx

2k9 was a complete shut down year due to the economy refused to sell anything

Not a great year in terms of ROI...

...But, HUGELY upgraded the quality of my portfolio.


The foundations of my fortune laid in 2009...?

That's pretty much how I feel, I'm happy with what I have bought this year - I'v spent a bit more in the drops and have renewed some of my better names until 2012

I'm still a bit wary about what 2010 will bring but whatever happens at least I'll still have some names reg'd till 2012 :tu:

I plan to concentrate more of my efforts on developing names next year rather than buying alot more.

The down economy has proven to be a decent buyers market.

Dropped over a 100 domains. I focused on my developed sites. Made very few end-user sales. In the end I actually made more money this year than previous year mainly off my largest 2 websites.
