Treat Domain Names like Real Estate

Valerie Lynn has a great article on domaininformer.com in business of domains as analogous to the real estate business. Some real investors like to buy and hold, then wait for its value to go up, then sell. This holds true for some domainers who hold on to domain names and then sell it when it has value. Then there are domain owners, who are like real estate investors, who develop domains into a functional website, which creates increase in domain value via various mechanisms - its increased traffic, which attracts ads, and revenue generated via PPC from ads, and by eventually selling the income generating site.

Be a Master of you Domain

The Winnipeg Sun reported of 2 Members of Parliament(MP) in Canada whose names were grabbed and rerouted to porn or drug-related websites. Apparently the domain names to their websites had expired and were snatched and re-routed. A lot of people really take things for granted, like their names or business names, not realizing that there ill-intentioned people out their who would take every opportunity to enhance their ventures. It is ironic that my blog 5 days ago I discussed how important it is to protect your name.

It is foreseeable in the near future that ill-intentioned people will be grabbing domains of ordinary people, (e.g. a chirpopractor, lawyer or accountant etc), and do the same thing.

Again, protect your name. Be the master of your domain.

Protect your Name

There are still businesses out there that have not protected their business name in the domain arena.

Some are mom and pop businesses who do not think they need a website. They are busy enough and think that having a website is just another hassle. Little do they realize that their business' name already has great value and that registering it as a domain name is essential.

They may come to realize that their name may have been snagged and squatted on, or already being used to re-route to other websites such as their competition or even worse to some adult website. Yikes!!!

It is thus a must, if you already have a thriving and successful business, and your domain is still available, to grab, register, take possession and protect it.

You have worked so hard to create a name with such value and credibility. Protect it. Register now.

Domain Value

What is a website domain to you.

Do you see it as a place to hang-out, a place to make friends or a place to buy $tuff. Do you see it as something COOL or something intriguing that you have to check it out. Do you see it as a place to learn or simply have FuN.

Do you see where I am getting at. Can you grasp the concept that owning domain names is like owning real estate. We go to various websites as "places" and it is intriguing how we can create value to a domain so that one would want to own it or go to it. Just like any place.

Obviously, it is not that simple. Owning a domain is not the end but creating value to a domain name is the goal.

It is exciting to share how we can create value to domains that we can own.
