On Blogging and Domain Registration

May 20, 2008

Lately, I was drawn so much to blogging that I realized, I already bought three domains since I started blogging just some months back. With my very first domain, the reason for choosing and buying it was more about my passion for writing and love for my hometown. Breath Technology dot com is my second blog, I bought it because I wanted an additional blog where I can write about more niches other than traveling. I bought the third one because I was astounded that the domain name was still available while it was such a good name for a news blog.

Why was I surprised? Today, blogging is such a fad that in July 2003, the Pew Internet and American Life Project estimated the US blog population to be about 12 million American adults. In 1994 to 1995, the web grew from 700 sites to 12,000 sites and it is predicted that if this trend continues, there will be more than 200 million sites by 2010 (source: http://www.caslon.com).

Almost all domains with a good name is taken by now. By the time you think of registering your name, it is probably unavailable like what happened to George Jr. The father of George Lindenmann Jr. was only able to register his son’s domain to .org and not .com because it was already taken.

Among the trends today in blogging is buying “potential” domains and selling it at a higher price later on once it becomes more popular like the word blogging, blogs, or blog. when I was starting, I was looking for domains with the word learning like lifelonglearning.com or lifelonglearner.com or learningresource.com but all of these domains and more on the same note were already unavailable.

So if you’re thinking of another online monetizing scheme without the hard work of thinking and writing blog posts, buy good domain names now for sale later. :)
