I like the idea of putting a blog up or something and linking to it much better than "parking" a domain where you are starting from scratch. Domains are assets and I think they are treated best that way. It is the link age that is valuable right now more than the age of the domain (although that doesn't hurt.), so getting a few inbound links to them is a good idea. Brad-

My vision was always to buy search query type domain names and simply put up an unobtrusive landing page with a paragraph or two relative to the search query domain name. Maybe get a link or two pointing at them and then just forget about them. So in a couple years - they've been indexed, built up trust, cost me very little time and money, but more valuable then a non-indexed domain itself.. What's your take on this strategy? Eric

What’s your take on this strategy?

I wrote this because we were seeing people leave the mortgage and real estate business with domains that they had built up over time and simply letting them expire. I've heard people say.."It doesn't have any value--it has my name in it." NOT TRUE. A website is an asset. A domain is an asset. Sometimes they are two different things entirely. Thanks for dropping by. Eric Thanks Wayne.

Most people would think their domain was worthless. It may not be a big money maker but they may be able to recoup some or all of what they have spent on it. If you are moving to another profession anyway this would be a smart move. Good post Eric. Most people would think their domain was worthless.
