Quick Update

Posted under Domaining

July is coming to a close and I can tell you that is has been a busy and productive month.  As I mentioned in my last post, I was at the GeoDomain Expo in Chicago a couple weeks ago.  It was a great conference.  It definitely got my wheels turning.  I even picked up a name in the live auction (AnnetteIsland.com).  Yep, it’s not an island many of you may have heard of, but it’s mine now.  :)  It’s in Alaska for those of you who are wondering.  It is one of my next development projects.

As I mentioned over at my Kansas City SEO blog, I am gearing up to go to SES San Jose next month.  It should be a good time.  There is always a good deal of information to take away from the conference every year.  This year should be no exception.

I am on my way to Sturgis again this year.  I bought HogShirts.com last year to sell Harley shirts.  I sat on the name last year, but I have started to bring the site to life here lately.  It is not much for parking, but it should be one heck of a site once it is developed.  I will be looking for partnerships while in Sturgis over the next week.

I continue to buy domain names and just bought one a couple weeks ago that has already paid its rent for the year.  There are still good domains out there, you just have to look for them.  It helps that Google is exposing some more data now-a-days.

Lastly, I have been reading Elliot’s Blog lately and have really enjoyed the reading.  I had read his blog in the past, but only when mentioned or cited by another domainer.  After having heard Elliot speak at the GeoDomain Expo he reminds me quite a bit of myself.  Anyone who is looking for a good blog with an author who tends to share good information, then you would do well to read Elliot’s blog.

Hello from the Geo Domain Expo

Posted under Domaining

Wanted to take a minute and say a quick hello. I am currently at the Geo Domain Expo conference in Chicago and am really enjoying it. It has been very interesting listening to all the folks talk about their geo domains and the success they have achieved. I’m jealous for sure. I’m going to see if I can sneak one for myself at the live auction tomorrow night. If any of you are here, please don’t bid against me. I’m the devilishly handsome dude with an obvious glint in my eye. I want one of those names.

I have one more thing to mention. I am developing an eCommerce website to sell Harley t-shirts online. I hope to make this a good example of what can be done with a good domain name if it is developed into a full-blown website. This name has been parked for a year and it is all my fault. I am trying to make up for my laziness and build this thing out. I want a hog shirt on the back of every biker in America.

Well that’s it for now. Catch you all later!
