Some older readers of my blog may have seen all my posts on the MySpace sites and such I used to run, and subsequently sold. Yes I did make a bit of money from them, and no I haven’t reinvested, nor have I bought anything substantial, although many cars have been very tempting. Thus now I have a bit of money to play with, and have been looking around at spending it, in the form of developed sites, and domains, and even developing sites from scratch.

DNForum has seen a little bit of recent activity from me, as well as Sedo, TDNAM, and some other domain auction sites. I have been on the prowl for 3 character domains, and recently picked up a L-N.com and a LLL.net for $600+escrow fees and $1100+escro fees respectively. I have been doing a lot of research into 3 character domains and have noticed some very impressive trends over the last 5 years, and if they continune to rise, ill be looking at making quite a nice profit from them. These are domains Im not looking at developing, moreso just sitting there parked waiting for the right time to sell.

In other news I have been registering some good search termed domains in the tattoo, maps and lingerie industries to develop and optimise for search engines to gain some traffic to these sites. There is still a bit of work left for developing them and I would like to hire some people to do this for me, but have never been satisfied with the quality of work I was getting. So therefore most of my time has been spent on developing the domains myself. Most will be running content and being monetised by affiliate offers, whats that, why not Adsense. Well I used to be quite a prominent Adsense user, and make some great money with them, but I learnt not to rely solely one one source of income, so have therefore spread around over many affiliate networks, running many offers from many companies. I sure do love the payout of a sale over a few clicks.

In other news, I am still helping out a few friends with their websites, I recently setup the DirtBiker domain with a vBulletin forum, as the old XennoBB forum on Trailrider was quite useless. The guys down there have been quite good in posting, and the forum should grow quite well considering all the new content that gets added. Another site, yet to be uploaded, is a lingerie ecommerce site, I have no experience in ecommerce sites, although have been quite enthusiastic about opening one, but am yet to find a product to sell. Anyway, I have been advising a good friend on how to run the site, market the site, and really make some decent money. He had all the wrong ideas, and I set him off in the right direction, lets hope he listens and does well.

Anyway I hope you enjoyed my second post and if you have any 3 letter/number coms/nets/orgs for sale, let me know, also if you have any questions you want answered, im happy to answer them in future blog posts.
