in the end, nothing gets done.

It is your domains, develop them !!

I have to turn clients down because I rather manage my own domains/sites.
When all my sites/domains are making MORE money, then I will take in clients on selected basis.

My opinion is, why waste my time on making the client’s rich than making myself rich…isn’t that allocation of resources?

If you do not monetize your domains to the fullest, then you are wasting.

ANSWER: I own nearly 4000 domains. I also administrate approximately 100,000 domains through my Successclick clients and my job at WhyPark. Further complicating my life, I have my own domains in the “build mode” that are actually finished or near finished, and can be making me money but I don’t have the time to focus on completing them. So, quick to the meat – I don’t have much time for managing my own domains.

For example: One of my sites will be the largest source of photos and content in the world for a specific subject. The site is done, but needs 5000+ original photos I own to be watermarked, processed and uploaded. This site alone would be a full time job for me as it stands… arggggh!

WhyPark is specifically magical for domains that don’t receive any “typein” traffic at other parking services and need SE traffic based on relevant content. The solar domains I mentioned (SolarConference.com, etc) all get decent traffic and purchase requests at Parked and TZ. I’m not fretting over those. But I DO own thousands of generic descriptive domains, many of them longtails, that would benefit from WhyPark’s services. I am moving them over every chance I get.

Bottom line, I am too busy helping my customers and clients with their domains and have no time to focus on my own domains. Eventually, I’m looking forward to having at least 2000 of my domains at WhyPark by summer of 2009.

I recommend anyone who has the time to analyze their domain portfolio and define the domains that don’t get typein traffic, but have great generic descriptive names, invest $.99 per domain and get content on them, and introduce them to indexing by the search engines. Leaving your domains to rot at a traditional non-content parking service where they make less than renewal fees yearly is just bad investment strategy and a loss of potential domain value. Domainers WILL bring their non-typein domains to Whypark, it’s just a question of when.

If anyone wants to meet me and talk about their domain portfolio strategies, I’ll be at Domainfest 2009 in January. I will buy you a drink if you introduce yourself to me and tell me your domaining story! Happy Holidays!

Solar is one area I have zero domains for…
Of the 1000s and 1000s of names I have
I didn’t see any “solar” …. hmmmm….

Stephen you have some NICE ones as well…

I need to stay focused though… limit my
categories… I find it much much easier to
do “end user” contacts in a keyword
specific area….

I rarely ever report my sales… Two reasons…
1. Most I am contracturally bound to privacy…
2. It’s not a good idea for me to report one here and there — on the off chance I accidentally
mention something I should not have…
Keeping my mouth shut has now become habit… unless there’s a buyer that specifically wants
the sale reported — but that’s rare the buyer
request that…

How come your domains are at Parked rather than at whypark where you are the VP of the company?

Do you have sample sites we can view?
thanks

“SolarTechnician.com”, “SolarConference.com” SolarConvention.com”,

I have the largest premium solar domain portfolio in the world. It’s been my baby for four years, nurturing it, cuddling it, laffing at some low five figure offers on some, like “SolarTechnician.com”, “SolarConference.com” SolarConvention.com”, and one that’s sure to surprise you all, SolarClothing.com.

350 keyword descriptive solar domains, just waiting for the right moment to… well, cash in my chips. And when I do, you’re all invited to my party!

This was a good bit of news on SolarEnergy.com, I had heard some rumors a while back, but couldn’t trace it down. Thanks for the update, MB
