harsh times, still no sales

Sadly, it can be a dog-eat-dog business sometimes. You just have to get over it and move on.

rtws,

Contrary to what you're expressing, it's no one's fault but your own that your business is failing. I'm sorry to be so blunt, but I think you need to hear the truth rather than think other people are the cause of "no sales" as you say . . . and an over saturated market.

Your business is your responsibility, and yours alone. There is no problem in the market right now at all. If you're not making sales, look at your systems in place, modify what you have to, find a different audience, or do whatever it takes to become successful. But don't blame your lack of success on others. That's not the problem.

There are plenty of great dot com domains available right this minute and you can register any of them for $1.99 or less. But as others have said, the domain name itself is not the reason for your troubles. The name doesn't have to be great for you to have a great business.

I'm not trying to be harsh or rude with this post . . . but I just sense that you're so close to the situation that you can't really see what's happening here. You need a reality check.

Alexa is right on the money here as usual.

I'm heavily into domaining, domain flipping, website development and flipping. I will say that knowing where to sell is an important aspect, but it's a very small part of the overall equation. As my students will attest, there is a great deal of money available to professional domain flippers, but you do need to learn all of the ins and outs to become successful.
