Hello all,
Firstly, I am completely new to the world of domain speculation, having spent the last seven years or so developing my own & other people's web sites.
A good name, I agree, is paramount for business success on the web, so how did I end up with:
Web-O-Matics.co.uk
Well I had this concept of information terminals in waiting areas of hotels, fish & chip shops & doctors surgeries. Did it fly? In a word, No!
Never mind, I could always sell it to the waiting millions anxious to make a fortune from my idea! Well, the world was obviously not impressed and I didn't get a single bid on eBay! Lapsed! (It was the hyphen's you see - brilliant idea but the hyphens shot it down! Bad workman & tools comes to mind!)
Get a name that has meaning - that's the ticket!
Dynamic expanding market. Used cars.
UsedCarsinWestWales.co.uk - don't even ask! At the end of two years I didn't bother to put it on eBay. Not one of my glorious inventions!
Well if a long name is not going to make my fortune, what about a very short one?
How short? 3 characters.
Park it somewhere and watch the £s roll in? If only!
FE2.co.uk
Still own this, still quivering with indecision as to what to do with it. Oh, yes, the meaning? Isn't it obvious? Haven't you heard of a Nikon FE2?
No? Well that's the problem, neither has 99.9% of the population!
Ah well on to the next idea. This one is truly going to make me millions - just watch this space .................
Moduron.com (& Moduron.co.uk)
What?
Been to Wales? Noticed what it says on garages? "Moduron Teify" . Yes I agree if it were in English, I would be retiring to the south of France for I now own "Motors.com" & "Motors.co.uk" - in Welsh. However to make it a bit clearer to the bemused multitudes, I now also own "WelshMotor.com" & "WelshMotor.co.uk" I am about to develop this little group of four names into the Welsh equivalent of Autotrader (hope springs eternal!)
So why am I currently trying to sell on eBay (where else?)
"ThievesOnLine.com" & "ThievesOnLine.co.uk"
You'll have to read the tale on the web site. Genuinely Guv, I am innocent this time, I was only trying to help somebody ......................
Yours, unsuccessfully,
Paul
