DomainTools Blog

A huge last two weeks at the Snapnames auctions. Our company, DomainTools, bought TechnologyWeek.com.  We could not resist the name. When doing a background check on the domain prior to the auction, we can see that this name had a lot of potential. I mentioned the domain to a few friends and they said they had read the magazine. HA. I love generic domains like this. People already know what should be at the domain name. We are tossing around ideas for the domain right now, but we will develop it with technology news. This will be a great name to hold for the future. If we want to start a magazine, we have the domain already to go. I would have bid at least $20,000 for the domain. If I wanted I am sure we could flip it for $50,000 in less then 6 months.

I think Toilet Plunger.com for $3,201 is the best buy this week. I can see with a little development this site would be earning $500 a month. A comparison site of Toilet Plungers is not a sexy site idea, but it is extremy practical and no one is doing it.
