Why Buy Domains to Begin With?

Well I decided that since this is one of the few "speculative" type investing that I have any experience with (i.e. buying a URL, then building a website, then optimizing the site for Google night and day, and watching it grow into an actual business), that it would be a fun way to try a little bit of investing with poco dinero.

I've bought around a hundred, and researched nearly every one before buying. Believe it or not, it's not always obvious which URL's have potential value and which don't! Also with the massive onslaught of ccTLDs...(don't worry I'll be doing a glossary soon) - otherwise known as "country specific" endings, like .yu, .es, .de, .co.uk, .nz, etc. - it can be bewildering to figure out what to buy.

But it's a lot of fun! And I think one day I'm going to actually make a profit from it :) So this blog is a place where I can track my progress, as well as gather research, ideas, and links. And just for the record I haven't made a domain sale yet (5 days in...) - so the journey is just beginning!
