Worth the Reg fee?

Worth the Reg fee?

Just reg'd

EuTreaty.co.uk

and

EUConstitution.co.uk

have I just wasted another �12 quid on junk, I surely can get �12 back on adsense in the next 2 years or can I?

Just another to add to my list of domains that will never get developed

I must stop buying names, I wonder if nominet can put a voluntary bar on me from reg'ing anymore names. 700 names and 10 sites live, SOMEBODY STOP ME PLEASE!

What do you plan to do with these names? Do you have a particular interest in the EU?

I think you can make back the reg fee with AdSense on any domain if you try hard enough.

haha we all do it, I just bought 2 more for my next million dollar idea - not!

retired_member6 · 13-12-2007, 06:51:51 PM

Im surprised they were still available, how much? haha develop them.

GreyWing · 13-12-2007, 07:10:04 PM

I must Lee, admit I was a bit surprised they were still there.

yep I'll try and develop them a little and as far as I can see I have 2 options of making it pay.

1) Stick some adsense on them, and make a couple of quid back

or

2) Moan and tell the world what a horrible thing this EU Treaty is, and hope someone on the EU gravy train buys it from me to shut me up.

One of the above is certainly more fun than the other

Admin you are absolutely right, it's the best thing about domain-ing. Everyday can be the start of a new project if we ever get round to it. There is no other job in the world like it.

Liked your post. It is funny with a twist. I have a few domains that I purchased and in about 7 months, I think I earned US$1.12 from all of them.
They are parked. They are mostly long dot.coms.

Yes! I sometimes think I made a huge mistake, and if no one tells my wife,
I'll probably get away with it though.

What I do now is manage my time. Pick a domain, develop it as you always told yourself you would, then when its FINISHED

pick the next one in line.

Last night I did domaintube.co.uk start to finish in one evening...

Nice work admin, domaining videos was a good idea for a site, I'm sure it will be of interest to people here.

I managed to waste another �12 quid,

I was a bit surprised to see these still available

FreeDNAtests.co.uk
FreeDNAtest.co.uk

I think Google adsense brings in a $1 a click in this sector so happy with this, I got FreeHPI.co.uk and that brings in around $15 a week on adsense so I might be registering some little gems at the minute.

That's 702 domains now and 10 live sites,

+ admin's drops.co.uk isn't helping and it'll be 750 by the end of the year unless his server goes down.

Tuuuuurrrrrrrnnnnnnn it oooooofffffffffffffffff admin please!
