Thanks for all of the info and good advice.
I look up to all you guys and am a bit embarrassed to come off as such an unsuccessful person.
As always, this community has offered me sound advice and I am grateful to have found this place and met you all. I felt a lot better today when i opened this up and saw everyone trying to help me.
To be honest, I should have done the privacy thing from the start.
I thought I would be a little better at this so I planned on just adding them in over time.
Then i started to buy more names! lol. Now I have like a little over a grand in renewals and 500 bucks in privacy if I choose to add it. The domains are fairly spread out over the year other than in march when I started so I should be ok. It is just hard for me to justify spending so much on something I haven't really gained much from.
I just need to sit down and figure out how the whole traffic thing works. I am going to read up on the a-b-c trades etc, I am a bit confused about all of that. I see people have mentioned linkspun but I also see people say if your sites don't generate enough traffic your trades will cease to exist. There is that debate over traffic and I probably can't afford to spend enough for it to work out well. Buying hardlinks looks like the best option but to be honest, I don't know what is a bad or good deal, whats worth buying and what isn't etc. I am sure in time and some serious effort it will come to me.
I have a lot porn and porno names, like "category"porno.com or "category"porn.com that I think have potential. I just figured if I gave up a name I had a little bit of an attachment to, it would be easier for me to let go of some of them if I needed to in the future.
I probably sat in front of the screen for an hour before I posted this thread, lmfao and it wasn't my best name or anything.
