How many domain names do you own?

I have only 5.

It's one of those things where you get a good ideal and get a domain name for it and then you are so busy you never get around to doing anything with it.

I bought a few to turn a profit. If I have a good feeling about them, I'll sit on them until the time is right. Here are some that I think have sell potential: loanguarantee.com, furniturediscounts.com, logoyourcompany.com, etc.

Most of the others I bought to use.

Around 250. 50 are newly purchased and are on my schedule to be developed. 20 or so are parked for various reasons. The rest have active sites of one type or another.

Not so much at the moment,more or less 30 domains in my portfolio.
But...i am still looking for other domains for my portfolio
If you have some domains you don't need...contact me

I use to own around 50 in the past while doing abit of buying and selling domains. Now only 3. Decided to focus in other areas instead.

Only 3 domains - 2 are in use.

Same here. There are times that I truly have absolutely no idea who the company is.

I just checked it out and its example sites are not real ones. @ dummy sites and 4 blank sites!

Next time you are thinking of purchasing a domain name, think about this:

If I ( you) can't develop it, there is someone else in this huge world of ours that can.

in the usa:

think locally ( the city you live in)
think locally ( the county you live in)
think locally ( the state you live in)
think locally ( the other states you do not live in)
think globally ( the world we live in)

Then be creative and lease that domain out to someone that can.
I have about 500 domains and at any given time I have on a monthly lease about 375 to different businesses or individuals.

There is no excuse for not earning money on every domain you own. Treat every domain you now own or are thinking of owning as a rental property. Just think of all the millions and millions of niches that a domain can be used for.

Think about the iraqi dinar. How many of you know what that is?
Think about all the college kids going to college in the fall.
Think about the credit card tsumani that is going to hit in the next 3 months. This is going to get ugly.
Think about the health insurance issues in the next 6 months.
Think about the NFL and college football season starting in the next 90 days.
Think about all the laid off auto workers in the next 90 days.

I guess what I am trying to say is.......the opportunities are there.

I have stated on here before that I use blogger blogs to market (auction) my domain names to businesses and individuals. I also use ebay, craigslist, plain emails, sedo, etc,etc.

Here is an easy thing I do every day. Sometimes it is in the morning or anytime during the day. I always always have a pen and paper that I can write down one idea per day for a domain. That gives me a minimum of 365 different domain names that I can create. If i can make $10.00 per month or 100.00 per month per domain..well you can do the math.

Use you imagination.

Now I do not feel bad about owning 60 domains. Only 3 live but working to bring them all live one by one. And about to buy 6 more tonight

Wow Brad 500 active domains explains the nice benz that your standing by in your avatar!

Checked out your About Me page. I love the 7 computer screens! It was also interesting how you have some of your office space built out of a warehouse.

You are correct. I have sold several domains after just sitting on them for a few years. $9 per year is cheap rent to buy and hold.

When a client comes in and wants to get top placement for his keywords (most recent was "muskoka landscaping") we immediately register the domain if available. Then we lease it to the client for free if they use our service. If not we hold, sell or develop the name.

I bought muskokalandscaping.com last weekend and already have a $1500 offer to buy it.

Hi George,
The board won't let me PM until 15 posts but I just wanted to say hello.
Yes, it is a small world. Keep on jammin' buddy, you're cookin' with gas!

Wow! I'd love to know more about what you do. PM me if it's easier.

cos it's brand new, and hasn't had a PR update yet... it's prolly at PR3-4 right now though.

nah, Matt partnered up with someone else who already had a article blog distribution service. That's why they "claim" to have 10,000 blogs - mostly owned by other members.

Mines not ready yet cos it's being built from the ground up (over 800,000 lines of code so far).. and it does a lot more than myarticlenetwork - of which they took a few ideas from my video... luckily enough I didn't mention everything...

We've got 20 dedicated servers ready spread across the globe, with 50,000 ready to use unique IP addresses.

can't wait til it's finished

I had more than 50 not long ago... but I'm eliminating that - I mean I'd like to use only domains that are active with updated content. :-) So now I have around 25 domains.

Two wrongs don't make a right though.

Maybe these should be reversed.

500+ I feel like an idiot...but one day....

Dave-
Thanks for your reply. I appreciate your detailed response. One more question though if you don't mind. Based your example, what would you charge (average) to lease the site/domain name? And how do you market this service?

Thanks-
Rick Wagoner

I just checked and I have a lot more that I thought. Turns out I have 236 domains. I have pages up on about 70 of them they rest or just redirects.
