Well, I paid 6.2% of that price for bondageblog.com, and think I got a heck of a bargain. {keyword}blog.com domains do well in the search engines for {keyword}, if you blog extensively about {keyword} on the domain.
So the question is, can you imagine a way to make 16 times as much money from people searching for "video" as you could from the (five times smaller, per overture) set of people searching for "bondage"?
It could be done. From where I sit, the price is not obviously insane.Offering sponsored blog posts and custom writing services.Comment

Thats a hefty amount for that domainComment

i guarantee I can get fufukitty.com higher in the se for the search term nylon sex than nylonsexblog.comOriginally posted by Forkbeard
a domain name is about branding that name, a domain name doesn't have much relevance on how high it gets in the se's anymore...it is just asd easy to get ANY domain high for ANY keyword with the right knowledge of how se's work
that is how I see it anyway...i have never put much relevance on a domain name personally, unless I was branding that nameComment

Of course you can. The only question is how much time, effort, and resources you'll spend.Originally posted by JaceXXX
That's strongly contrary to my experience over the last couple of years.a domain name is about branding that name, a domain name doesn't have much relevance on how high it gets in the se's anymore...
Again, strongly contrary to my experience.it is just asd easy to get ANY domain high for ANY keyword with the right knowledge of how se's work
Also, {keyword}blog.com domains are fairly easy to brand. The brand's not exciting, but it can be quite memorable, which matters.Offering sponsored blog posts and custom writing services.Comment

about an hour to create the page/site, and 10 minutes to load it into my se scripts....once that happens, i can have it in yahoo in less than a day and in google in less than 3 day...give it a week to get up to where I want it...but those are generally my working times right now for SE'sOf course you can. The only question is how much time, effort, and resources you'll spend.
as for the domain name.....I have domains that i have getting higher rankings than keyworded domains for the same thing...
in fact, i have single pages in non-porn domains that are getting higher results than the porn keyworded domain for the same se terms...and everything was run through the same process to gain results...just different keyworded pages
so, i guess what I am trying to say...domain name has NO relevance to how high you get in the se's....in fact, have you tried purchasing a non-keyword term domain and just given it a shot just to see? that is how i figured it outComment

Very true:Originally posted by Forkbeard
I have
pantyfetishblog.com
pantyhosefetishblog.com
stockingfetishblog.com

And they are all getting a lot of typeins.
I will eventually do something with the nylonblog domain, but the others will be sold of sooner or later.Comment

blog domains are hot, I bought a bunch of blog names from Rob, the guy that sold videoblog.com, he had some nice ones but I think he has sold most of the good ones.
Congrats to him for selling Videoblog.com!

I used to own "blogs.com"
But sold in WAY too soon. But sold it to friends (at moveabletype) and made enough to cover my domain investments for a lifetime. But such is the game.

And what I'm trying to say is, I don't agree with you. I'm not saying your nifty scripts can't overwhelm the importance of domain keywords, by using overwhelming numbers of backlinks and carefully chosen anchor text. Of course they can, if they are as good as you say they are. But that doesn't mean the factor doesn't exist.Originally posted by JaceXXX
I'm like the man who says "stealth and good marksmanship are important for deer hunting." And you're like the man who's saying "marksmanship doesn't matter; I'm so stealthy I can sneak up on a deer and stab him to death with a rusty screwdriver." Sure, but it's *easier* my way --- at least for everyone who doesn't have your +11 Boots of Stalking.Last edited by Forkbeard; 04-20-2005, 06:40 PM.Offering sponsored blog posts and custom writing services.Comment

LOL. I remember when his prices were much lower... too bad I passed on them back then: mobile, video, gay, etc.... oh well... you live, you learn. anyway, we have plenty of blog domains now... perhaps too many (500+). But $21,000 is still a great buy for new owner.Comment

Site went live around 4/5/2005. Gotten 13,100 uniques, 35,000 pageviews. Couple of sales. It's linked on 4 or 5 sites only right now, so performance is good based just on that.
The type-in potential is HUGE, and the content that is on there is already getting SE hits. Not enough links in yet to get a PR bump in the latest google dance, but it's got a link in from a PR3, a PR5, and a PR6 site, so...Code:Time Raw Uniq First Reload 2005-04-22 364 144 134 204 2005-04-21 1,212 334 309 830 2005-04-20 1,041 350 328 653 2005-04-19 1,662 514 493 1,102 2005-04-18 2,146 894 875 1,193 2005-04-17 1,528 411 384 1,079
