Domain Magnate

Happy holidays everyone, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and Hag Hanukkah Sameah

May the next 2009 year be happier, more profitable and more adventurous for you!

I’m doing my “holiday shopping” and looking to purchase a few good generic domains by the end of the year. If you got some for sale that fit the criterion, let me know!

Lately posts on the blog have been rare and erratic, but I’m hoping to post more and better in the coming months. I’m also doing interviews with domainers of any caliber. Either if you consider yourself a professional, full time domainer, or
if you just started with domaining recently - other domainers would be very interested to hear your thoughts and experiences. To get your story told on this blog just email me to ‘contact at this domain’ expressing your desire to get interviewed and short details about yourself and I’ll reply back with a list of questions.

update: works fine now

After logging to my gmail account where I keep most of my emails I just got this message:

Temporary Error (502)

We’re sorry, but your Gmail account is currently experiencing errors. You won’t be able to use your account while these errors last, but don’t worry, your account data and messages are safe. Our engineers are working to resolve this issue.

That looks quite scary.. restarting my firefox and logging out/logging in didn’t help. Hope I’m not the only one.. anyone else having this problem?

DomainMagnate.com is now on facebook

If you are using facebook and like this blog - feel free to add the page to your favorites 

This is one of my little experiments to try to utilize facebook’s massive traffic. Social networking/bookmarking is next generation of SEO..

Happy Fathers Day everyone!

If anyone needs me I’ll be on vacation in Madrid and Prague this week, till June, 21.

Meanwhile check out my new auction at BQB.com

I’ve decided to try it out with a $1 no reserve auction for 13 good LLLL.com’s 

Hey all,

I’m going on vacation till Saturday - 24.05, so if anyone needs me urgently.. well you’ll just have to wait.

I’m finally going on a short, but well deserved vacation for 3 days. Back on Feb 27.

So any unfinished sales, or other business will be resumed when I’m back

Edited:

Some people complained that they didn’t like my blog theme so I tried a few other themes. But then I quickly realized they are all crap and I got to miss the previous one.

I love gold (big surprise there eh ;)) and it is awesome, so get used to it! At least until I find a really good designer to build me a new custom theme and logo.

P.S.: if you are a designer, don’t contact me unless you think you are really good! Send a few examples.

Yeah time passes by quickly. Would you believe it’s been a whole week since DomainMagnate.com was launched?

After one week the blog is averaging over 300 unique visitors per day and growing rapidly. I have big plans for this blog. Many cool things will come out soon.

Unlike many others I’ve been late to the domaining game. Domains with traffic and ppc income were/are too expensive and premium generics are unaffordable. The new players have to use new ways to succeed in domaining: finding bargain deals, following the buyouts and selling.

But there are still fortunes to be made and domaining seems to be living the new boom now, especially inspired by the super high prices of premium generics and quick rise in prices of short domains after big buyouts. Many consider this strategy very risky and it truly is, but the rewards are well worth the risk in this case.

So far most posts of the blog covered the buyouts, because it is the best way to make money in domaining now. How else can you get 1000% in 4 months, other than buying LLLL.com’s?

After the current NNNNN.com buyout we won’t see that many buyouts as in the last months so if you haven’t yet, go and buy some NNNNN.com today.

Hello everyone and welcome to my new blog!

I’m Michael and I’m known among domainers as Michael_Goldman, which is my username on most domain forums: DNforum, NamePros, DigitalPoint, DomainState and a few other forums

I have a large domain portfolio, including LLLL.com domains: some are listed at 4 letter domains , geo domains and a collection of US cities, generics like Coriander.com, FamilyViolence.com and many more.

I’ve been making money online full time for over 2.5 years, mostly with SEO and affiliate marketing, but lately I’m shifting my main focus to domaining.

Stay tuned for more posts with tips and advices to newbie domainers, as well as more advanced strategies on how to profit from your domains!
