Hi Michael & guys
Thank you for the invitation to join you.

I have published this article that's getting fair reviews, and you may want to see.

Choosing profitable domain names 101 - Stay away from “the giant’s niches”


As domainers, there are two sectors of the market we should not be interested in: the lowest and the top.

You see, when choosing domain names, there are at least more than twenty very important factors to bear in mind. Some of these factors deal with the economics of the name itself and its future re-sale value. Examples are:

- potential (user/visitor) market size if developed
- purchasing power and number of corporations who may be eventually interested in buying that name from us
- potential number of small businesses or sole traders who may eventually be interested in buying that name from us (e.g. plumbersAustin)

I saw after publishing that you Michael also published something with "101", but it is mere coincidence.
If this is not the right thread to post it, please accept my apologies.

I just read your article. It's great!
Keep up the writing as I'm sure that it's helping a lot of people.

Thanks Michael. I am practicing to improve my writing since English is not my mother tongue. I would like to contribute a bit more here, but the main topic, which seems to be parking, is something I am not knowleadgable enough about.
I still have a lot of listening to do in that area!

Then there is always the long tail

The long tail is a far better strategy than competing with Google on search or Facebook in social bookmarking...

I agree with you.
The long-tail is often an ignored part of the domain portfolio and it holds quite a lot of value!
