A guest no longer: Greetings from VA

**Arrogance** · 08-18-2008, 04:41 PM

Was a guest for nearly 5 months learning (and still researching) the fundamental question of: What makes a good domain name? Learned a wealth of information along the way and am honored to finally be a member of DNF. Looking forward to doing business with everyone.

Welcome to the jungle

**Arrogance** · 08-31-2008, 07:36 PM

Thanks again for the welcome, its great to be here.
It can definitly be a jungle Raider (Gold Cafe threads) but you're holding your own in there.
Appreciate the support from CA and the EU as well
Hoping to have some good names in the future fab, at that time you can have the LLL.com of your choice

What appeals to you more, Reselling, Parking, Both or?... Do you have a portfolio established yet?

**Arrogance** · 08-31-2008, 08:09 PM

I've got around 250 names in the portfolio so far, all parked for now. My domains are 98% hand regs primarily loan,business,financial and geo. So the domains receive nominal traffic (around 500 uniques/month) and revenue, around $13 in 5 months. Half of those I'll have to either drop or sell at reg fee (hopefully), from before I knew anything about intelligent domaining or DNF.
The other 50% is debatable; I haven't had appraisals, but based on research on threads here and previous domain sales/trends, hopefully I'll be able to move some names I have for much more than what I paid for them. The 3 domains in my sig were hand regs, so I'm of the school of thought that although 99 percent of the good domains indeed are taken, but some are tasted and since the traffic isn't sufficient, dropped without realizing the reselling/enduser market.
Both are very appealing to me, but reselling would win out; then I could invest in domains with traffic and diversify the portfolio
