Armchair Quarterbacks, SEOs, and Domainers

Domain Name News is one of the leading online “newspapers” of the Internet domain industry. Publisher Adam Strong asked me about the recent $5.1 million dollar toys.com sale, and after some conversation on SEO aspects I agreed to write my thoughts for publication on DomainNameNews.com. I asked a few friends in the SEO industry if they would like to participate, and the article went online. Click through to read Armchair SEOs Play with Toys.com.

Another leading domain industry newspaper DomainNameWire.com extended the “armchair” concept to domainers with “Are You and Armchair Domainer?”

   I think it’s fair to say Google was watching this very closely.

   Even more reason to get some strategists working on the case though.

   Article was a good read.

   Have they wasted toys . com by 301′ing it? Maybe, but one thing is for sure, they stopped a competitor going for no 1 with that domain.

   This is very true. The reality of buying and selling domains is totally different from what many people perceive. It is actually quite hard to sell a domain, even if its a quality generic name. So you armchair domainers, get your domains on Sedo and lets see you sell them.

   If we all only had such problems to worry about. :) They probably could have made better use of the domain than just a 301 in my opinion.

   I would always use a domain that pretty to it’s full capacity… And that would be building a great website on it, not 301′ing it.
