Don’t Ya LOVE Pet Names!

Three out of four U.S. homes have pets. That means there’s a market for every imaginable domain name dealing with pets, pet supplies, pet food, pet services, veterinarians, pet hospitals and so on.

Take pet health, for example. Every physical or mental issue that worries humans is automatically transferred to our view of pets. That creates interest in PetMoodPills.com, PetPainPills.com, PetBehaviorModification.com, PetCancer411.com, DNAtestsForPets.com and the like.

Veterinarians are in constant demand, but like all professionals, they’re always eager to attract more business. That’s why vets are good marketing targets for domains like PetCancerVet.com, OncologyForPets.com, PetDocSearch.com, ChihuahuaDoctor.com, GermanShepherdVet.com and so on.

Did you know that dogs and cats can get sunburn? It’s true. So consider names like DogSunscreen.com, CatSunscreen.com and SunscreenForPets.com.

Would you ever live without insurance? Of course not! So, naturally, there’s a strong and growing interest in pet insurance. Ten companies dominate the field, with VPI leading the group. The number of insured pets has been growing 20% a year, according to The National Commission on Veterinary Economic Issues. Domain names of value can be as simple as InsuringYourPets.com

Pet names are golden for domain resales. President Obama's pooch will be FDOTUS - First Dog of the United States (just as he is officially POTUS and Michelle is FLOTUS).

Sell one or two good pet domains and you’ll be able to afford a spa weekend for you and your own pooch, kitten or other favorite critter. To buy any of the domains mentioned in this blog, email your offer to DomainValues@yahoo.com.

(I've issued a press release to get this message out to a broader audience.)

Lawyers Need Good Marketing Domains!

There are 1.1 million lawyers in the U.S., according to the American Bar Association. That’s one lawyer for every 265 Americans. Around the world, the numbers go out of sight — India has a million, Brazil nearly 600,000 and so on.

What does that mean to the domainer? OPPORTUNITY! Every lawyer needs a website or two or more, to attract business. Think of clever domains that can be used to market legal services and you have potential winners.

Try caldwilawyer.com (California DWI Lawyer), substituting other states up front; MaranaPersonalInjuryLawyer.com (using city or state names up front); TexasSelfDefenseLawyer.com, NeverPayASpeedingTicket.com, LegalSmackdown.com, WhoCanWeSue.com, QuickeeDivorce.com and so on.

Get creative! Three out of four homes in the U.S. have pets. There’s a huge and growing demand for legal services on behalf of dogs and cats. Think CatLawyer.com, AttorneyForPets.com and similar domains.

Lawyers generally are hungry for clients and can afford to pay healthy premiums for good marketing domains.

Intentional Miss-Spellings

Fingers slip. Brains nap. We try to type a domain name into a search engine or address line and we mess up.

You can profit when other people make those mistakes. Buy domain names that are common miss-spellings of popular domains.

For instance, India's space agency in November 2009 will launch a global image service that will be far more detailed, accurate and compelling than Google Earth.

Google Earth provides single-layered images with zoom levels up to 200 meters and images updated every 4 years. Bhuvan, however, will provide multi-layered images with zoom levels up to 10 meters and images updated every year.

How many millions of people will want to visit the Bhuvan.com web portal yearly? But how many will miss-type the name, and instead go to buvan.com? Buy the miss-spelled buvan.com and fill it with advertising, or link it to another commercial website and bring tens of thousands of new eyeballs to your desired page. And sell your buvan.com site for a fat profit.

People have made small fortunes with miss-spelled domains that are similar to popular drug names, celebrity names, city names and more. It's eezy money!

Obama's Pooch A Domain Winner - FDOTUS

As the LA Times "The Envelope" blog explains, the Obamas are planning on installing a pooch in the White House in April.

In official Washington (and especially to the Secret Service), that dog will be known as FDOTUS - First Dog Of The United States. The shorthand is standard for DC, where the Prez is POTUS (President of the US), the First Lady is FLOTUS, the Supreme Court is SCOTUS (really!), and so on.

Anyone want to buy FDOTUS.com???

A Little Publicity Can't Hurt

We've issued a press release about domaineering at Free Press Release. See it by clicking HERE.

News from the Domain Industry

Revenue Direct, which is the premier provider of Parking services (they'll load your domain page with advertisers' links, at no cost to you, then send you monthly checks based on the number of times people clicked on those links), advised clients today that they have been acquired by SEDO, one of the biggest domain selling agents in the domaineering universe.

Just a week ago, SEDO handled the largest domain sale of 2009 -- Dollars.com for $380,000.

The combination of the two companies should be good for us domaineers.

Make A Bundle of Money on Mexico!

Mexico wants you, smart domaineer that you are, to make money fast. It's true.

In 2008, the government of Mexico was all set to launch the biggest construction project in the country's history. They plan to turn a sleepy farming town called Punta Colonet on the western shore of Baja Mexico into the world's biggest deep-water container port.

But then the U.S. and world economies collapsed. So Mexico postponed the bidding on billions of dollars worth of construction contracts. The new date for accepting those bids is April 2009. If the contracts are awarded... massive fortunes will be made, overnight. (An indication that the project is back on track came on February 27, 2009, when the regional government announced the formation of an environmental impact group to provide input on the pending massive development program.)

Everything will be built from scratch -- housing for 250,000 workers and their families; roads, stores, banks, homes, schools... you name it.

And every aspect of this new city will require Internet domain names. PuntaColonetHomes.com, PuntaColonetLawyers.com, PuntaColonetJobs.com, PuntaColonetYellowPages.com and so on.

Let your imagine go wild and register every sort of domain name that a fast-growing community will need. (Don't forget, every town within 100 miles will grow fast as well, providing lots more of the same domain opportunities.) Then prepare to sell them all for megabucks!
