If I buy 50 acres of obscure Sonoran Desert for $50,000, then sell it a year later for $1,000,000 to some developer that wants to build a retirement community and golf course, does that make me scum too? Or just a savvy investor?

What’s the difference?

None really. I think that guy is confusing domain squatting with what the OP is doing. Domain squatting is illegal.[/quote]

I don’t think domain squatting is illegal unless you use a trade marked name. Some think its unethical however.

The OP is kind of squatting IMO. He has no intent to use the names for a legitimate website but hopes to profit in reselling it. Domain parking would be like registering a domain name and intending to use it in the future.

Seriously, instead of doing this, go get a lobotomy, or maybe just kill yourself. You’d be alot more useful to society that way.[/quote]

Well I’m sorry to here that you had recieved a lobotomy, because if anyone could make $10,000 legal and didn’t have money like Bill Gates they’d be a fool not to do it.

Real talk though, try talking to me or someone else with some balls they way you just did in person and you’ll recieve a fucking beating. I hope you get hit by a fucking bus.

I’d say this is a bit (a lot) over the top, but I also don’t think this is an honest way to make a living.

To each his own, though.

Domain squatting has to do with using tradmarked names. How about you don’t chime into a subject you know nothing about.

I’m trying to make creative names future website owners would be interested in buying. Many people do it no idea why this would recieve any flack.

Explain to me what is not honest about this please. I’d rather not make money than be a crook.

I’m not sure if dishonest is the right word, and I don’t think it would make you a crook. It’s certainly legal but I guess I just wouldn’t feel right about buying something I have no intention of using in the hopes that someone else might want to use it so I can sell it to them.

Like I said, I think dishonest wouldn’t be the right word to use and I certainly don’t fault you trying to make a buck. If anything it shows you have a good head on your shoulders but it’s just not something I would do.

I view it like this. People buy real estate, I’m just buying it online. If someone is willing to pay money for it than that’s up to them otherwise I’m losing money. It’s not like I’m buying up water wells in Africa and charging the people to use them.

To each his own I guess though. I’m not even sure how this will pan out. We’ll see.

Austin,
I’d suggest looking for keyword heavy domains to register/park/sell.

And, I’m pretty sure that the parkers/sellers have their own forum where people who don’t know the difference between squatting and parking do not engage in snide comments about the morality of parking domains. But, I could be wrong

I’m sure they do. I just tried this place first because I post a lot and I get along with and trust a lot peoples opinions here.

Anyways, keyword heavy domains is definitely where the moneys at.

I would talk to you like that in person cuz you’re just some unskilled plebian pussy who isn’t even big.
I make websites, and you as some kind of “web estate” speculator is just some retarded usury. You should build sites if you’re going to buy up domains, some of us don’t do this shyt for big profit, but rather believe in creating and sharing information for the world to see.

Why don’t you just learn to web build and actually try to build one of these lucrative websites that you anticipate someone to want to be build on your space.

What you’re doing right now, isn’t dishonest per say…it’s just weak and lazy. You are a basically the worm of the internet.

Beat me worm, track down my IP and give me my fucking beating. I don’t care. I actually build, you are just some parasite.

enough of this debating, post your sites and let’s help each other out! haha

I figured I’d chime in here, since I make a decent living online.

There’s a lot of flaming going on whether this is a legit practice or not, and it can be debated what is fair and not fair in the domaining realm.

First thing first, don’t tell people to click your ads because with enough click fraud (that’s what it is) you’ll get booted off sedo or parked.com or whoever.

In any case, registering and parking domains is a sure way to lose a decent amount of money if you don’t know what you’re doing. Many people jump into it, thinking I’ll register 500 random domains and be a millionaire by the end of the year! But when renewal time comes up and they have to pay the $4500 to renew all those domains, they realize they’re losing their shirts.

Parking is not a good income source unless you have premium domains with built in traffic, or if you know how to get traffic to them. But 95% of hand-registered domains don’t get shit for type-in traffic.

The problem is that what people think is a great domain is just junk. There is so much fucking junk out there, and serious domainers see it for what it is. Just because there’s a huge domain sale for $1 mil, that doesn’t mean your shittier variation of that domain is even worth 1% of that sale. Huge sales are years in the making, and mid-sized sales are because the domain is actually worth something and valuable to somebody.

You’re much better off picking up domains that were dropped by people (freshdrop.net) and parking those. This is because they have built-in traffic and will probably pay for themselves over the course of a year.

You’re better off BUYING one really good domain from someone, with built-in value, and finding the right buyer so you can 2x-10x or even more your money. It’s all about the end user.

There is plenty of “lucky strikes” (some idiot buys a trash domain for 10K) that makes it seem lucrative, but in reality 90% will fail in the business.

Domaining is one of the strongest revenue avenues for making money online, but you are hella late to the party. Registering “new” domains is essentially like gambling. If you legitimately wanted to make money with domains, your best route to take is to read up on the subject like there’s no tomorrow. There are a million blogs and even a book on the topic. Spend 3 months learning then jump into it.

I was building a site that was basically supposed to be an international organization of wrestlers of all ages, to share , converse and post multimedia. The perfect website name I wanted for it (this site was meant to be non-profit, just for me to express my love for my sport.) Was taken by some dirty sri lankan who’d been sitting on it for years, and never used it.

He told me 30k for the domain, I gave him an offer of 300, he rejected. Considering, I wanted to do this site, for the love of my sport, and the camaraderie within it, someone should just track that fucker down, and shove a gun down his throat, blow the back of his muzzie head off.

Then hack the DNS and take that domain. That is why I hate parkers, we want to build, and they want to turn our frontier into some kind of pseudo stock market bs…ruin it like everything else.

If you are not going to build, don’t buy a fukking domain.

So? Pick another domain name. It doesn’t matter; especially so since it was meant to be a non-profit site.

Really? You really feel this way? You’ve got issues. You can still build the site!

You couldn’t hack a TI-83 calculator.

Domain names mean less and less as time goes on. Do you know how many people get to a site by typing it into Google? Know what I’ve seen countless people do? They start up their web browser, which loads www.yahoo.com, because they installed that horrendous toolbar, then proceed to type “google” into the yahoo search box with the intent on loading up Google’s website.

Domain names mean more if you plan on doing advertising on a commercial, or billboard, or something like that.

So, what’s the link to the site? Or did that little petty issue really keep you from making it?

I have like 120 domains
most are free porn sites, where I hope you go on to a sponsor and buy a membership so I get paid

Holy shit. Get a life, seriously. I want a Maserati…baaaad. I know a douche-bag that owns one, but rarely ever drives it. He just bought it because he’s a millionaire and that’s the kind of shit really rich dudes buy. Should I blow his head off because he doesn’t appreciate this beautiful vehicle the way I would?

This morning I bought stock in a company. Congrats, I now own a piece of this company! I will have no day-to-day control of this company whatsoever. Hell, I don’t even like this company. I might sell it tomorrow, I might sell it next year; we’ll see. I’m an owner of this company because I’m seeking to sell it for a higher price then I bought it for. I believe their earnings potential is grossly underestimated. Anything wrong with me buying something I have virtually no control of, don’t like, and could have sold 2 minutes after I bought it?
