Because end users are developers and don’t care for your domains and don’t really want them (and also because content is king, and they know)! What they have is a concept in mind, not a domain name. They’d rather find something pretty close to a popular generic term they had in mind that gets their [...]

Case in point 1: EnergySuperpower.com
Take a generic term domain that’s been dropped repeatedly by others, set up WP, and publish links to relevant articles from the daily Google alerts I subscribe to. Currently shows up #2 search result in Yahoo for the term, and on the front page of Google also, only beaten out by [...]

If you’ve followed anything I’ve written here so far, you probably know that I am huge on development. Part of the reason is the fact that I don’t own many “PREMIUM” domains that would generate serious parking revenue, but we all gotta start somewhere and work with what we’ve got, right?

UnemploymentMeter.com has just launched. Over the last couple months, I kept trying to come up with the right idea for an economy-focused blog (for obvious reasons), and I think I have finally zoomed in on the topic that I can commit to developing. Got a nice WP skin set up for it, decent page structure, [...]

Thought this would be an interesting story to share. A couple of New York Times articles about the reintroduction of INDULGENCES caught my attention recently. Not because I’m a church going person you see, but because I happened to register the names IndulgenceCredits.com and IndulgenceCredit.com last September (think Al Gore).
Here are the news links:
For Catholics, [...]

Being the curious little domainer that I am, I like to stay abreast of all of the world’s happenings as much as possible, especially during these uncertain times. My favorite source of mainstream news is the online version of UK’s Telegraph newspaper. Being a college student, the following story caught my attention today: National intern [...]

Long time no post again, eh? So I recently launched a couple of projects about things that interest me. I’m sure most would agree that the subject matter plays an important role in the long-term viability and success of any web development project. That is why I generally try to work on websites that are [...]

Back to development directions… There is never a shortage of demand for information. Especially in times of trouble, social and economic unrest. Hence, these are precisely the topics people will search for most as they browse the internet. This trend should make things like unemployment and bankruptcy especially popular with the web surfing masses. My [...]

Funny how development seems SO EASY when you do it “just for fun”… Had to create a little website for a school related project coming up in January, and came up with this: RussianSkiing.com
Some friends and I go up north to ski every MLK weekend. Decided to get more people involved this year by creating [...]
