Domaining is basically buying and selling domains, a bit like stocks and shares. Sometimes you might make a site on the domain to get some traffic to further increase it’s value, other times you might just sell the domain for a profit.
With porn.com recently selling for $9million, domaining can be a lucrative thing to get into, but obviously getting your hands on a domain like that is not an easy thing to do. So is it worth it, well yeah. There are plenty of niches left to target, think a bit laterally, think about what’s happening in the future that may be worth a domain or two and don’t ignore domains like .org or .org.uk for instance. With all the popular .com and .net domains being bought up, it can be profitable to snap up the other domains too. Maybe not as profitable as a .com but hey, even if you make a small profit it’s worth it.
Sites like SEDO allow you to buy and sell domains, but it’s worth watching what sells and what doesn’t for a while to get an idea what words to go for.
I must add that I am no way near a proper domainer. I don’t buy and sell…. just buy at the moment, and I have a small collection of domains with not much happening on them, but maybe they will prove worth it later down the line.
Have a look at some of the domains I own at randomdomains.co.uk. I’m open to offers if you fancy any of them!

A while ago I wrote about how I was looking at was to make some money from my forum and other web sites. I had made a few changes and said I would report back on it. Well, here is the report…
In my last report I said I had been using the google adsense heat map for forums to position my adsense ads to try and get maximum benefit from them. I positioned them on several of my pages on my Dynax Digital forum and used different adsense channels for each ad so I could track their progress.
After doing this I noticed an increase in earnings, but I only got back to the level I was at before I reskinned the site. Most noticeable was that the adsense ads positioned at the top of the first post in a thread performed the best, earning nearly 4 times as much as the second place position which was the ad placed at the top of the list of forum boards.
Unfortunately the amounts aren’t anything to write home about (but maybe enough to blog about) but I got back to a level where my monthly hosting was covered…… but….. recently these amounts have dropped again. Why this is, I don’t know, but it’s annoying.
I have pulled in a little bit from my other sites too, but the forum forms the major (if you can call it major) source of adsense income.
As a bonus though, I got a ad deal with shopzilla which is part of bizrate.co.uk, a price comparison site. This deal gives me income for a year, paid quarterly and is enough to cover my hosting. So again, not loads, but it all starts to add up doesn’t it.
I am now expanding the forum site a little which should provide more opportunities for affiliate schemes which may prove a better source of income. I read a post on selfmademinds about using one big site (I know I keep going on about that site, but it is good!) which confirmed, for me, that this would be a good way forward.
I’ve still got a long way to go before I can retire on web site earnings alone, but with a few small steps in the right direction I might start making some inroads into that dream.

There are different packages of every wireless internet company for the customers of wireless network.
It’s a bank holiday here in the UK, which is basically what we call a public holiday and I’ve spent the morning packing up some of my old photography gear that I sold on ebay and watching Star Wars Empire Strikes Back, the original laser disc version not the one that George Lucas has fiddled with.
Anyway, I thought I’d do a round up of the sites that I look at on a daily basis for various purposes, so here you go:
Dynax Digital Forums - this is forum site that I run. I have to check it daily, sometimes several times a day, just to make sure it hasn’t been targetted by spammers and that things are running as they should. I don’t think anyone really realises the amount of work involved in running a forum, but it’s worth it when you start to see a great community building from something you’ve done.
Self Made Minds - I came across this blog purely by accident while clicking a few links in articles on other sites. I eventually ended up at this great site. For someone who wants to make money from their web site, it’s well worth a visit. The writing style and the tips and ideas, and the honesty from the authors too, make it a handy site to keep an eye on.
Daily Blog Tips - I check this almost daily as Daniel usually has a handy well written article on running a blog to read. His site is really taking off, so good work fella!
The Register - for an IT chap like myself, it’s good to keep up to date on the latest news in the IT world. The way the articles are written make it good to read.
BBC News - I generally don’t read or watch the news. It’s always full of doom and gloom, but I use the BBC’s news portal to keep up to date on what’s going on in the world. I don’t read all the news, just the bits that catch my attention.
Flickr - I check and see what my contacts are getting up to, see if anyone has commented on my photos or just get some inspiration.
Techzi - I also check David’s site Techzi from time to time. Reading his comments on what’s going on in the techy world can be quite amusing, even though he is a young whipper snapper. Hope the exams go well for you!
So that’s my regular set of sites, there are numerous others I check occasionally but these are the main ones. I used to check out ProBlogger daily too, but for some reason I’ve gone off it, the site just doesn’t grab my attention anymore even if some of the articles are useful. Maybe it’s the design, maybe it’s the writing style, or maybe I’ve just found other sites that suit me better, I don’t know. Sorry Darren. I’m sure you won’t lose sleep over me not stopping by as often!
So there you go, a Bank Holiday update. Now it’s time to get to back to Empire Strikes Back, there’s 2 star destroyers coming and the hyperdriver motivator on the millennium falcon isn’t working! Serious stuff!
Just a really quick update on my post about speed painting.
The dude who has produced some amazing stuff on YouTube has started a web site dedicated to speed painting. It’s still in it’s early stages but it looks like it should a great place for information and tutorials.
