Good Domainer

I am sure there are a number of good domainers out there but in today’s post I have decided to focus on one.  To much of my amazement I ran into this site while browsing a number of sites about domaining.  That point wasn’t amazing but the next point is. =)  This domainer actually helps those who read his blog, he is open to providing tips and tricks to them on an individual basis.  I found his blog quite informative myself and feel he deserves recognition for doing such an amazing job.  If you are wondering which blog I am referring to, I am about to reveal it now:

The domainer’s name is Andy, not sure about his last name but he has an interesting perspective on domaining which deals with manually registering domains and caring less about drops and auctions.  I for one am quite versatile when it comes to building a domain portfolio.  I have found gems on drops and have also sold a few domains that were registered manually for XXX amount of dollars.  One thing that I haven’t participated much in are auctions.  I picked up a domain a while ago at a snapnames auction entitled:

sirloins.net

Now that I think about it, there wasn’t actually an auction, it was simply a domain which no one else had bid on that I felt had value.  Luckily for me I was able to grab it for $60.  I’ve participated on pool.com for a few domains in the past, but I don’t think those really entered the auction phase either!  One of my gems which was quickly snagged up a few years ago due to my negligence was proxynames.com, yes I owned a gem of this caliber as well as a few that bring forth bad drop memories or shall I say nightmares!  All in all my entire point for bringing this up is each domainer within this wonderful world of domaining brings a fresh new perspective in which we can all learn from and Andy does just that!

I think I will contact Andy for a link exchange in the near future.
