So I bought domains for the first time yesterday
 

Im the proud new owner of TheFilthyWanker.com, TheFilthyWanker.net, FilthyWanker.com and FilthyWanker.net. Aren't I such a noob? Go ahead make a bunch of snide comments to make yourself feel big!

Smart man getting all four:thumbsup

Filthywanker is good, but you wasted 14 dollars buying thefilthywanker. Just chalk it up to experience and moveon.org, LOL

Yeah, I bought thefilthywanker, but then I talked to my buddy James, who is much more "in the know" than I, so I went back and bought filthywanker due to his advice.

Develop filthywanker.com and redirect the others to it until you let them expire.

Thanks for the advice, I have a question regarding it, though.

If people get used to going to thefilthywanker.com even though it redirects them to filthywanker.com wouldn't letting the other domains expire cause some traffic loss?

agreed :thumbsup

They won't go there if you only develop filthywanker.com.

With these domains, you won't see a difference.

thanks, bud. I really appreciate your input :winkwink:

congratz on shop

What he said! :thumbsup

Why let the "the" versions drop or any of the others. Secures your phrase more in the engines, specially from someone else developing it close to yours. Then of course domains cost shit nowadays and are a tax deductible business expense.

I like filthywanker.com but then again cleanwanker.com just don't seem appealing.....

Keep all the domains if you're going for branding, regardless of them maybe earning nothing.

btw, what on earth are you trying to sell on there? what are you setting the sites up to promote? filthy wanking?

what's your angle?

A Blog/Link List for American Surfers interested in UK Porn, dogging etc as well as bizarre porn sites in general, not like "Fetish" bizarre, but more link funny or weird bizarre like Ass Smoothie, Crackwhore Confessions that kind of thing

It would be STUPID to let them expire, when you're talking $7 or $8 each per year! Especially, if you have garnished ANY traffic from them....submit all 4 to the "robots" of google, etc...make them all work for you, even if all 4 "direct" to one site!
