HI from Oz Domainer Down Under

Oz Domainer · 11-12-2007, 03:49:39 AM

Hi All,

My name is Ed from Perth, Australia.

I am very happy to find this forum that focuses on .co.uk domains.
Well done for putting it together.

My quick history -

I have been buying domain names for the past 10 years or so in the .com and .com.au markets mainly for businesses that I own, not for domaining purposes.

I have only been buying .co.uk domains over the past 8 months.
I was born is Scotland and my family immigrated to Australia when I was very young, but I have been back to the UK a few times so I have a strong interest with what goes on in the UK.

I own about 250+ .co.uk domains now, some great, some good and a fair few that are not great. But all are generic 2 or 3 word domains.

I am in the process of developing some of the better ones and working on some JV projects with others.

I tend to focus on commercially viable names that have a easily recognizable product or service related to them that can be developed with JV partners.

I have been running my AdWords Marketing Consulting business www.adwordsmarketing.com since 2003 dealing with clients across the globe including quite a few in the UK.

Becoming a "domainer" has been a natural and logical extension of that business for me and I also decided to start a blog about domain names at www.ozdomainer.com

I look forward to getting to know you all and sharing what I have learned over the years with you guys and also learning from all your combined experience.

Regards

Welcome to AD Ed, sounds like you have a good all round experience in domaining and websites.

Oz Domainer · 11-12-2007, 05:59:40 PM

I look forward to 2008.

I will be heading back to the UK in Apr / May to take 6 months off with my wife and daughter and we will be spending a month or so in Scotland and England.

So you never know I may get to meet some of you in person.

Cheers

Ed

I want to spend some time learning a bit more about domains myself, since I
have a few parked somewhere right now..

Now I have to figure out where I parked them

then maybe I can get something done with them. I look forward to your posts Ed.
