What have you bought for domaining that was "Money Well Spent"?

[Tygerwoody]

There are hundreds of worthless domaining guides out there. Many pay forums. Many tools.


What tools/services/guides have you spent on domaining was well worth the cost?

For example. DNforum.com is easily worth $50 lifetime fee

I also think Estibot.com is worth its $5 a month domainer fee for its nifty tools.


What have you bought that was worth it?

I have two domain that is making me $5 to $10.00 each every day.
-- kind of supports bad habit of buying bad domains.

DNF membership I don't regret and... hm, that's it. DRT was not worth it (I never use it), Premiumdrops.com had a great alternative at allexpiringdomains.com which is now somehow dead (anybody knows what happened?).

carter recommended me watch my domains pro and I have to admit it's the best tool for me to keep track of my domains. very good tool indeed.

a DNF upgrade is money well spent

Afternic membership has more than paid for itself for me

the "Domain Game" book was worth the money, stories in there I hadn't heard before.

I got a membership at a sitebuilder years ago that used to be free, then they changed it to 19.99/yr, then higher, then eventually $99.99 per year. They gave the original users a locked-in price of 99.99 per year now, so it will never go up. I can build as many webpages as I want, it's easy to use, and they keep adding features. If I want to build a page for a new domain I get, I can do it in under an hour easy, with text, photos, guest book. It's a great deal.

There is a lot of great free information out there in blogs, Google Keywords, dnjournal, etc. The only thing I might pay for if I had the time to use it would be something like wordtracker or keyword discovery, some tool that works like Overture used to and helps find what terms people are searching for.
