Random Thoughts

Its been an interesting year for me. I have acquired some great domains and was inspired to write about my domaining experiences here on the blog. I’ve made a great deal of friends in the domaining world and now have a wonderful network to rely on when needed.

The dnpimping.com domaining comic has been quite popular with visitors. Just recently, the comic was mentioned on NameTalent.com, you can view the entry here. Its entries like this which keep me motivated to run the blog. I’ve received positive comments from a number of domainers in the industry all telling me to keep up the great work.

Just recently I registered a .CM domain name and boy what a journey that has been. Its been quite disappointing to see all the delays in such a promising extension. To add on to this there are a number of people spreading bad information about the .CM extension. Some of these individuals run blogs that have a strong reader base. There are those that complain about the domain registration fees, which work out to $175 a year. Yes this is quite an expensive domain registration fee, but think about the opportunities a new extension such as this one presents. Who cares about how companies are advertising the domain as a typo extension. There is an opportunity to make money here folks, if you want to believe that the extension is a waste of money then give it some time. I will say that within the next 4 – 6 months we will hear about several $x,xxx sales for the .CM extension. Once these sales hit the record books there will be an influx of domainers trying to buy into the hype. Remember, domaining is built on publicity although some want you to believe it is good old fashion business. Regardless if the information being written is positive or negative you are still promoting the extension.

I plan on having even more fun with the blog, look out for future comics but also stay tuned for a new video series. Thanks to all my readers who have kept me motivated during the starting phases of dnpimping.com, I will have a special treat for all of you coming very soon.

DNPimping.com has slowly started to form a schedule for updates. Here is what you can expect on a few of the days:

Tuesday – Domain Spotlight
Wednesday – What is Domaining?
Friday – Domaining Comic

I am debating on whether to add a theme for Monday and Thursday. I tend to relax away from the computer during the weekend, so for now no themed days for Saturday and Sunday. We shall see!
