This item was filled under [ Development ]

OK, I’ve developed and indexed approximately 25% of the domains now and added Adsense on most of the websites. Currently they bring in approximately $6 per day, which would result in 6 x 365 = $2190 per year if ranking, visits and clicks remain the same. The cost of owning all the domains in this [...]

Well, okey, time to wrap this honeymoon stuff up and summarize what I have done and learned the last 2-3 months. During november-december last year (2008) there was a “discounting fight” between the two largest domain registrars in Sweden at the moment - Loopia and Binero - which made me dive into the domaining business [...]

My domaining honeymoon, part 1

This item was filled under [ Development, domaining ]

For about one year ago I decided to dive into the domaining business and try it out. Prior to this I’ve been running a couple of websites for a couple of years. The interest in running my websites changed from time to time, so they’ve been unchanged from time to time, but still I kept [...]
