How Do I Price Thee?

They say a domain's worth is what a buyer is willing to pay for it. So how you do you set your domain's price when listing it for sale at forums or auction sites? I bet some of you go directly to Estibot. Well, nothing wrong with that, I use Estibot, too. But as we all know, this distant relative of Wall-E's is far from being accurate.

So how do you get buyers to value your domains at a price you're willing to accept?

It's a question that does not lend itself to any appraisal service.

.ca premiums

I told you I'm going to make a living here.

So here are a couple of high-caliber names of Canadian descent. I hate to call them premium, they just happen to register well in Adwords Keyword Tool, with 85%-100% Advertiser Competition. But don't believe me, check it out yourself!

fromtravel.net and the "geo" frenzy

I've never understood the phrase, "jump into the bandwagon" more than when I acquired this domain. With millions of people traveling from destination A to destination B to Z each day across the universe, it is not a crazy idea to invest in "travel" domains. More so if you join forums like Namepros, DigitalPoint, or DNF, and frequently visit the "Most Wanted" section (no, we're not talking about criminals here).

It used to be that the term "geo" was only confined in the four walls of the Science Classroom and the pages of National Geographic. Now Google shares this million-dollar Greek word with avid practitioners of the domaining business I call domain hunters. What an evolution!

Going back to fromtravel.net, I consider it a rare find no matter if Goddady already owns the .com - blessed me!

No, I won't summon Estibot's assistance on this because sometimes it gets fickle-minded. It would have been excusable if it were a girl, or a gay - or a person, for that matter. Then I would have to strangle it, no questions asked. :p. . .

Others use Wordtracker or Overture. But I got one more reliable - Adwords Keyword Tool. It's like Oprah vs. the others (I love David Letterman, though, to the nth level). :D

So here are the figures:

Local Search Volume for April = 2,240,000
Global Monthly Search Volume = 673,000


I only got one word for this: "Wow!"

Hard Habit To Break...

It's 2:00 in the afternoon, Eastern time (or fast forward, it's 2:00 a.m.), and here I am still glued to my computer. In my past life, during the pre-internet era, this was not viewed as a problem. Well I had more problems back then but in different "problematic" levels (you probably start pulling your hair by now trying to figure out the problem :p). . .

My eyes is falling apart, my head is going bonkers, my body is getting numb, but my mind is wandering still on this vast canvass of electrons as if waiting to struck gold in the middle of a desert.

It is a problem, though it's something I love doing. . . It's a habit. It's a hard habit to break (probably why I love this song from Chicago :p). . .

I guess I thought you'd be here forever
Another illusion I chose to create
You don't know what ya got until it's gone
And I found out just a little too late

I was acting as if you were lucky to have me
Doin' you a favor I hardly knew you were there
But then you were gone and it all was wrong
Had no idea how much I cared

Now being without you
Takes a lot of getting used to
Should learn to live with it
But I dont want to

Living without you
Is all a big mistake
Instead of getting easier
It's the hardest thing to take

I'm addicted to ya babe
You're a hard habit to break...

You found someone else you had every reason
You know I can't blame you for runnin' to him
Two people together but living alone
I was spreading my love too thin

After all of these years
I'm still tryin to shake it
Doin' much better they say that it just takes time
But deep in the night it's an endless flight
I cant get ya out of my mind

Being without you
Takes a lot of getting used to
Should learn to live with it
I don want to

Being without you
Is all a big mistake
Instead of getting any easier
It's the hardest thing to take
I'm addicted to you
You're a hard habit to break...


So what's your hard habit to break?

A Public Apology

I need money to pay for electricity and for my internet connection so I could use Google search, for instance, so please do not be offended if I post here names for sale from time to time. For all you know, 90% of them are not mine. But I don't care as long as I get my commission. :p

If you see a name you like or think could make for a good investment, just indicate your interest and email me with your offer.

Welcome!

Hi! Welcome to my blog. If you've noticed, the title says Life and Domaining, not Life and the Anatomy of a Lizard... So expect to read more about my life as a domainer. For starters, it's not a box full of chocolates. :-)
