This weekend I’ve been doing some research trying to find avaiable .SE (Sweden) ccTLD domains having decent search volumes and CPC. This is a process I have semi-automated by writing a PHP script that takes the .CSV data generated by Google Adwords Keyword Tool (GAKT) as input and then checks if the keywords are available [...]
Inspired by the post by Chef Patrick I’ve decided to try selling 12 of my domains on the generic TLD’s ,com and .net starting with trying to estimate their value using different tools available on the internet. Step one will be to post requests for evaluation on domaining forums, I will try using NamePros.com and [...]
Summer holidays are definitely over and I’m trying to get back on track and start working with my domains and websites again. I thought I would spend a lot of time with this during my vacation, but I choose not to and instead travel and spend time with familiy and friends.
Anyway, now I have a [...]
Domaining is hard work. There is no doubt. Especially when you start from scratch like me when it comes to your domainportfolio. Yeah, I might have scored a few semi-premium domains by hand registering a couple hundred domains at the end of 2008, but it’s not like I can park and forget them if I [...]
When you manage to get your hands on a good domain having a lot of search traffic, what should you do? For example, last week I hand-registered a domain by the name nailcuticle(dot)com which is a 1 (or 2 depending on how you look at it) word keyword domain which has approximately 12,000 monthly searches [...]
Just to remind myself what my goals for this week is:
develop the foundation for a mini-site network of 10 recipe domains
create landingpages for 20-30 domains soon to be developed
get landingpages indexed by Google
learn something new
What are your weekly goals?
While reading some domaining news at Domaining.com I visited a blogg and read an article about $9 auctions at Snapnames.com and included in the post was an Excel file with Estibot estimates. Number one on this list was AerobicDvd(dot)com - with an estimated value of $17,000. For me, this sounds really high. According to the [...]

I guess many people including myself keep asking us if it is to late to get into the domaining business. Personally, I haven’t been close to striking any gold during my first year in the business. Sure, I’ve developed a few sites which pay the reg fee and a couple of dollars extra meaning a [...]
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 [...]
