Domain Names Have Become True Commodities
Published by Pablo Palatnik at 12:13 am under Industry News

If you’re a domain name freak like myself, every time you think of a domain name, you run to the computer for a quick purchase. Business idea, Domain Name. Website Idea, Domain Name.

Here is the thing, the process is becoming longer and longer every time. Domain names have become true commodities, and perhaps have always been. I’m building quite a nice domain portfolio but on average spend about 25 minutes until I find what I was looking for (which now never happens), but at least close to it (and maybe not even that anymore). The time has come where I actively seek the registered entity or person and haunt them down for an offer.

SEO wise, this is also becoming more and more of an issue in terms of keywords in your domain,
and also age plays a part.

Domain names are really important although never really touched upon anywhere.
Let’s look at some things it can affect.
*Potential Organic Results
*Display URL CTR in PPC Campaigns
*Branding
*Potential Future Value of Website or Name Itself

If you like to buy stocks, think about starting your own domain portfolio,
which I also consider it to be like buying property which it really is.
If you have a good domain name, hold on to it until you get a good offer.
A .com is a .com, wont be replaced by a .net, .info, whatever.
