Many of you know that i’ve been getting into domaining. I like playing around with domain names because it’s somewhat similar to what i do as my day job. Domain names are the virtual real estate of the web. Like real estate, they go up in value. Some domain names are listed for millions of dollars. I also like playing with domains because it reminds me of my youth. When i was a young kid, i used to collect baseball cards. I would buy Becket magazine and check to see if my cards went up or not. I had a pretty valuable collection of trading cards. When you’re buying domains, you have to be careful to not buy useless names. Don’t buy names that are too long and stay away from unpronounceable names. Lastly, if you want to make money online, you should only buy dot com domains. Read More to Make Money Online »

Is it worth buying domain names with Google PR? I’ve done a few experiments with this in the past 6 months. I purchased some domains that already had PR on them. I wanted to see if i would lose the PR when the next update occured. I first bought my PR domain for around $40. I was such a noob. I now realize that i overpaid for that domain. If you are thinking about buying dropped or expired domains with PR, don’t pay too much for them. Buy them if you like the name, but don’t buy it for the PR. Cause you’re going to lose the PR. Making money online is about learning from you experiences. If you experiement often, then you’ll gain more understanding of how you can make money online. Read More to Make Money Online »

I try to gobble up all relevant “make money online” news. Wendy from wendy’s reel wrote a response post about ICANN’s decision to allow any type of domain extension. So, in a couple of year, companies and individuals can register a whatever.whatever domain. This is big news for domainers and webmasters. The newer extensions (.info,.biz) haven’t caught up to dot coms, and they never will. But, having your own extension could mean gold to people who invest in some key extensions. There have been talks that a .sex extension or a .money could start bidding wars. They are thinking about pricing the extensions at around $100,000 a pop. Do i think that this will change the value of .coms? Not really! Did .info or .biz change the game much? Nope! I think web surfers are used to punching in .com to get to a site. Heck, iphones and blackberries already have a .com button on their keypad. Dot coms and country extensions will continue being the norm, but these extensions are making it pretty exciting.
