How My Domaining Brain Works

by Peter on January 1, 2011

Step 1: Receive gift of Virginia Peanuts for Xmas.

Step 2: Eat Peanuts.

Step 3: Realize how damn good Virginia Peanuts are.

Step 4: Type VirginiaPeanuts.com into a browser.

Step 5: Cuss when I discover someone owns it.

Step 6: Parlay anger when site & domain appear acquirable.

Step 7: Contemplate how many people search for Virginia Peanuts online.

Step 8: Search on Google Keyword tool to find out.

Step 9: Realize the numbers are large enough to run a small side mini-business on the niche.

Step 10: Search on Google to see how many advertisers there are for ‘virginia peanuts’.

Step 11: Smile when there are lots.

Step 12: Re-visit VirginiaPeanuts.com.

Step 13: Smile after realizing it’s hardly monetized (one advertiser who sells Virginia Peanuts).

Step 14: Search Whois to identify the owner.

Step 15: Cuss when I discover the one advertiser owns the site (ie. it won’t be cheap).

Step 16: Pull ripcord, stare blindly at the Xmas stockings on the mantle.

Step 17: Wonder who owns ChristmasStockings.com…

Step 18: Rinse, repeat.
