Hi, my name is Brian and I'm addicted to buying domains.

(This thread was inspired from Dennis Gaskill's thread http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post4772218)

Yes, I have to come clean and admit I have a problem. This is not a new problem but one I'm ready to deal with.

It hasn't been easy, working on a project and out of the blue another great idea comes. After researching this new great idea, I have to buy the domains.

Now, I don't just buy any domains, 97% are .com's and keyword/niche researched well.

So why do I do this? I've had to look really hard and honestly at myself for the whys.

My #1. Domain Rule is: Rule #1. Create a site for every domain you have before buying new domains.

Now I think this is a good rule, but I broke it again last night and I had been doing so well for several months.

Here's what really happens with me. I have the idea, do the research and then... then... I think... if I just had this idea, great minds think alike, so I'd better capture the domain names.

So I have my work cut out for me as I now have over 200+ domains.

Since I love creating original products and I'm very good at it, I'm actually finding this to be an interesting problem to have.

I've been a martial art instructor for over 25 years so discipline and focus are not an issue for me.

But I do admit and own that I can override discipline for that next, new, bright and shinny idea.

Well, with that.

My name is Brian and I'm addicted to buying domains.

    Bloody hell, 200 domains? I have trouble remembering I have 7 domains most days. Fail. How long do you have them registered for?

      I used to have a domain addiction. I would be happy to be an enabler for your addiction, and sell you about 200 more. For a princely sum, they are all yours.

            Yeah hopefully the new laws being discussed will put an end to all your domain squatting BS, and let people who actually want to put in real work, create and develop REAL web properties have them.

            Since the internet has many parallels to the wild west I'll make another analogy.

            You people are like homesteaders. The government says you can have any property you want, just put your stake in the ground. Rather than finding a nice piece of property, planting your stake, and building a legit house/business. You ride through the whole countryside planting stakes on all the good property, with no intention of developing the property. Only to sell the property later at a massive markup, because you saw it first.

            I've had about 100 good ideas for domain names so far that were all taken by squatters. You provide no value and I hope you get shut down. And I will develop a totally non-keyword domain name like google.com, yahoo.com, twitter.com, facebook.com, failblog.org or youtube.com before I pay your retarted fees for your squatting, thanks.

              hahaha .... too funny. Laws against registering domains. What are you smoking? You want a domain ... register it. You snooze, you lose.

              Look up domain squatting. It's far different than domain investing.... or is that too academic for you?

              Good Grief! You came late to the party & all the nibbles were gone...

              Since you don't know the URL's of the domains, how is this squatting? If he is then the companies involved can apply to take them off him.

    My advice is to load wordpress websites on every domain you buy and add a few pages of content if possible.

    Let this age and you will have a great site to work with that will likely be easier to rank for higher competition keywords.

    I have done this plenty of times before, turned them into profitable little Amazon sites targeting the product keywords.

    It's not a bad habit to have, as long as you don't let it take control. As long as you are focused I am sure you actually see the sites through to profit rather than jumping around to the next one.

      I like this idea... while I don't have as much as some of you, I think I did go a little EMD crazy a while back... I have about 30 that are just sort of lying there.

      I was thinking of selling them, but I guess I'll let them age.

      I have one which is the EMD of a plush hotel, no tradmark infringment, as the name is just "placeHotel"

      It gets almost 4000 exact monthly searches.

      I'm thinking of making a nice site, ranking it on the top spot and renting the site out to them.

        Now that's a good domain that I would do something with. I'm sure you can generate some income from it. Wishing you the best.

          I also have an EMD.org in the humour/relationship niche... gets 22000 exact searches for the key phrase... competition is medium/low.

          I'm thinking of just loading it with videos and content.

          The cpc is pretty low for adsense though, .07c or something...

          If I can generate lots of traffic.. any other ideas how to monetize?

            Again, I think you have a good domain that can work well. I don't do much with adsense, only because I don't like how it looks on my sites. Yes it could make some money, but I just don't like how it makes some of my sites feel, if that makes any sense. I'm slowly integrating it into some of my new sites, it's a work in process.

            Ok, here's one of my personal tips. I actually do ok with adsense, not a fortune but descent. Could I do better, yes. But there is just something about the ads, that I just don't like on some of my sites. It's one of my many quirks. So I give up some income on one side and make it up on the other, by having compelling content and exceptional products without ads.

            Well, the only ads that I have are my own, for either my products or affiliate products.

            How I generally work with a domain like you have is: Research the niche and do some market/competition analysis. What I'm looking for is, can I create a product for this domain name/niche. If I determine that I can and that it can be a genuine, more in value than what I'm charging for it product, then I set about developing a free product that I can couple with my paid product. With a paid product, free product and adding some articles/content on the site I'm ready to go. (Side note: I have the hardest time with development of free products. I find it takes me more time then with my paid products.)

            I love video and if the site starts to work then I start adding video. Sometimes I'll add video at the start but most of the time it's after I feel the site is taking on some traffic.

    I had over 300 with Godaddy and around 100 with Namecheap. Godaddy is panicking because any that didn't sell, I've been letting expire if I didn't get around to building a site on it.

    It is addicting, but it's also a wake-up call at renewal time when you haven't done a thing with them. I'm nearly cured. I only have about 150 or so domains now.

    I understand the compulsion to keep buying domains. You don't start to realize it's a problem until you have a growing collection and every few days there's a new notice that you have to pay your renewal fee. Those $10 or so bills start to add up after a while! I'm actually in the process of getting rid of most of my unproductive domains. Sadly, I'm generally letting them expire as I've never had any luck selling domains.

    It sounds as if all of us here need to start attending DBA meetings. That's Domain Buyers Anonymous.

    Step 1. We admitted we are powerless over domain registrars and our namescheap accounts have be come unmanageable.

    Step 2. Came to believe a power greater than the warriorforum would restore us to sanity

    Step 3. Became willing to turn our domains over to the care of the warriorforum as we understand it.

    Step 4..........

    Hi Brian

    I'm happy to report that your addiction can be beat, although it's not easy. I used to collect domains myself, at the peak in 2005 I had 240 of them.

    I'm happy to report that I'm down to 30 of them, and each one is actually being put to use.

    So there's hope for you my friend - just stay away from the keyboard every time one of those 99 cent domain name sales comes around and keep going to those DA (Domainers Anonymous) meetings.

    Or just PM noobjet and offer him a deal on all of them...

    I do have plans for them though and have already started on a small scale but still...It can be an addiction. I kind of do the same thing when I'm researching different niches, it's ahrd to pass up a good domain when you see an opportunity.

      Good question Charlotte, most of mine I have sites either up or in the planning stages. Remember my Rule #1. You have to put them to work for you. I made the mistake a few years ago of hanging on to domains and never really doing anything with them. I don't do that any more.

      I tend to have my domains in what I call blocks, and these blocks expire every quarter, (for those that are on both 1 yr. and 2yr. renewal.) I've found it easier to handle when I know how much it will be each quarter and I then plan for that. Simple and I like simple.

      Correct. As long as you do something with them it will all work out. I often have to talk myself out of buying them. There are times when it's just not possible to pass one up. 20K searches, little competition, and exact match .com There are worst things I could be spending my money on.

      Thanks all,

    My wife has been telling me that I needed to get help for years.

    At my worst, I had 82 domains, with only about half of them with any content at all on them.

    The last couple of years, I have started exercising more control, but scheduling certain ones to expire.

    Once I make the decision to let a domain expire, I do not revisit that decision.

    It is like they say about grocery shopping. "Never go shopping when you are hungry, or you will buy more food than necessary."

    I have bought 8 new domains this year, for which I have not yet placed content on all of them just yet.

    While I have content on many of them, few are at the level that I had wanted them to be.

    As long as I earn back from the site the cost of registration each year, I see no reason in letting them expire. And many of my domains fall into that category. As long as they make more than they cost, I let them ride.

    Only when the equation shifts to losses do I consider dropping them from the portfolio.

    Only if I could find the time to do with those sites what I really wanted to do, then I could make a lot more money.

    Unfortunately, that does not always happen.

    So, I have been letting them fall by the wayside over the last couple years.

    I am down to 52 domains, with another ten that may expire in the next year.

    I am not yet cured of my addiction, but I am doing better for myself with some discipline.

    Just when you think you've got it all figured out, someone changes the rules.

      Dennis, I just got "DomainNameAddication.com" if I had known you had that one I wouldn't have got it. Maybe we can barter.

      domainnameaddication.com is really available at least I think it is. But not for long

    Wow! I thought I had too many at 27 domains. My husband keeps telling me I have too many, so he thinks so too. I let two expire this year. They didn't make any money after two years and I lost interest in them, so they are gone.

    I guess I would need to be a member of the domain name addiction society, too.

    P.S. I really like your signature.

      Thanks Linda for your kind words. Often this addiction sneaks up on you, and before you know it... 50+ domains. Sounds like you're doing the right thing. If they don't pay for themselves let them go.

    Great post, I hear you. I once had hundreds and hundreds of domains. Though each site had a blog though with all the google changes in recent years it makes it difficult to get traffic with blogs like that .

    Sadly I have 400+ domains. Now THAT is an addiction!

    I split them into three sections [1] sell straight away [2] build, rank and sell and [3] build, rank and keep.

    Fortunately I've sold enough from [1] to repay the money I used to buy all the domains in the first place (and leave me 400+ left over) - so it's pretty cost neutral. But now is where it starts getting tricky because I still have 400+ domains that I'll have to start renewing soon. $4000 renewal fees each year means I really need to get on with [2] and [3] which is where I get stuck because it just takes time and I am terrible at keeping track of what domain is at what stage.

    I wish there was some kind of program (aside from excel) that would help keep track of things for you. Maybe someone could develop one.

    Wow! 400+ - that is awesome!

    The three sections is a great strategy! I need to do an assessment of all my domains asap!

    I cannot remember how many domains I have. Hmm - maybe Im addicted...!

    Wow! You guys really spend some cash on domains. I cannot say that I have that problem.

    I could not imagine managing that many. Some of you guys and gals on here are posting some insane numbers.

    Of course, if you're a dealer and can move them fast, then it's just like any inventory I guess...just a virtual one.

    I have a handful and for me they are a handful...
