I would love to hear peoples opinions on how I can develop the site further. What would you like to see more of, what would you like to see less of, or what new features you would like to see added.

Please feel free to comment in the article here with any views, positive or negative! I look forward to reading your comments!

Thanks,

Michael does interviews every once in awhile with other domainers on DomainMagnate.com -- that could be a nice addition

4 letters is a pretty narrow subject -- maybe open it up to domains 4 letters or shorter so you have more you can talk about like the recent 15 LLL.com sales at $40,000 apiece for example -- I think most of your readers are also interested in the 3 letter market because most of us believe a healthy 3 letter market is crucial for a healthy 4 letter market.

Very good suggestions Reece... I will think about that and what questions I might ask. I did actually do an interview for Micheal but he hasn't posted it not sure why, I might PM him...

The only problem with your second suggestion is that I have little experience of the three letter domain market... I only own a few and don't really buy/sell... I like to be able to back up my articles with first hand knowlege... saying that I did report the 15 LLL.com sales in an article here :D I will try and diversify more!

Thanks for your feedback Reece, much appreciated.

You're welcome Rich

I don't know how I missed that article :red:

Even if you go outside the short domain segment every once in awhile just so you could have more content -- eg. cover stuff like Network Solutions and frontrunning.

I find one of the best inspirations for good writing is reading other people's work. Lots of smart people in this industry like Mark Fulton (DotSauce), Dominik Mueller (dmueller.com), and most of the blogs at Domaining.com.

Sites like DomainNameNews, DomainNews, DomainNameWire, CircleID -- lots of inspiration out there for good articles

I'm trying to work out the same thing with my domain. One idea, have some recent sales stats of 10-20 names on the right or left side of the page.

Good suggestion Vurg, I could do that do that... This has given me another idea - I could list the domains I have bought recently to give people an idea of what I'm investing in... What do you think?

I used to do that on 4LN and it was quite popular. A lot of work to keep up if you do a lot of buying, but will definitely help get you some extra traffic, that's for sure

It's a nice site Rich but the domain is TOOO long imo, especially considering the subject matter

Why not just buy LLLLZ.com from me. Would look awesome in a logo too :sold:

Nice blog Rich :D

I really like the look, nice template.
I guess more and longer posts would help, but I'm struggling with that myself :\

Quality > Quantity imho.

I rarely have more than 2-3 posts per week but I try to make the best out of what limited time I do have. 4 Letter Noob receives about 30 uniques per day from Google for having good placement on keywords like "LLLL.com", "LLLL.com price guide", "LLLL.com value". I'm no SEO expert, however in my experience as a blogger it seems Google heavily favors long informative articles to short ones for SE placement.

Yeah good and unique content is what blogs are for. I'm getting about the same traffic from google.
However writing long and interesting posts is quite time consuming

:D Yours are some of the shortest I've seen! I still check the blog every day though!

I had a really bad month in April when I hardly posted anything... that really hurt my traffic, I'm now trying my hardest to write at least one article a day but I agree with Reece, quality is more important that quantity.

I will take all of your comments on board!

lol - Well, at the time I looked for something else but decided a keyword strong domain was a good bet... I have aquired QLDZ.com and thought about using that but I have built up the site since November 2007 so changing now would have a detrimental effect on the site reputation, brand and ultimately the traffic and PR from good inbound links...
