When Registering Domains, Look Before You Leap!

Following on in the footsteps of my previous post.

Looking at most of the dropped domain names these days is its blatantly obvious that most people registering domain names don’t have a clue as to what constitutes a good or great domain name. Yes there can be exceptions to the rule but they are few and far between.

If the people registering these very poor, nonsensical domains had only read Ron Jackson’s great website Domain Newbie first, they may have thought twice about registering them and done some research before hand.

Name Newbie

Ron’s other site that he is much better known for is DN Journal which as MUST read also for all domainers / developers.

I have chatted to Ron via email many months ago (before I left for my 7 month trip) about him being the subject of one of my future podcasts but we have both been very busy so it is on the to do list! :-)

  1. I have let a few of my “nonsensical domain mistakes” drop only to get a Domain Tools notification that someone else picked it up on the drop! Starts to make you second guess yourself…

  2. Most people just register a domain and never do anything with it… What a waste.
