Country Search Domain Names

Tags: , ,

Just over 2 Years ago I acquired the domains www.thailand-search.com, www.england-search.com, www.australian-search.com, unitedstates-search.com, newzealands-search.com, italy-search.com and many more.

I developed around half the domains I own and am happily sitting on the rest. Infact I have been offered $40,000 in late 2006 for Thailand-Search.com but I declined.

WorldSearch.com was sold for $500,000 in early 2007. So really to be fair If I had an offer I wouldn’t look even anywhere below $20,000 each name, Not to mention if the name is developed in which alot of them are now.

Today Thailand-Search gets around 1 million page views per month and is Thailand’s No.1 Business Directory & Search Engine in Thai & English it gets great exposure thanks to my powerful online marketing strategies.

The Damn “Dan” Domain

Tags: , ,

Buying Domain Names can either be fun or be hurtful.

In my case I should be farely happy as I own around 100 domains, out of 100 domains around 40 4 letter domains I own aswell which are highly valuable.

One of my favourites would have to actually be a .net though out of all my 40 or so 4LLL.com’s. It is also an established website, let me introduce it to you GSEO.net stands for Google Search Engine Optimization.

But the one in which I recently tried to aquire was believe it or not from my own birth name Daniel Lew. Now when I went to register this domain guess what?

It was taken, Yes that’s right folks It wasn’t only just randomly registerd by someone for 1 year, It was registered for 10 flippen years, and the name is just sitting there?

Very Odd wouldn’t you agree? Becuase let me tell you there are not many daniel lew’s in this world let alone danny or dan lew let me be the first Dan Lew to have registered Danlew.com now that is got to hurt this guy back dont you think?

Or perhaps Danny Lew in which my old friends and family know me by, yep I quickly snapped that one up www.dannylew.com nobody is taking that baby away.

To be honest personally I like being called Dan or Daniel as it’s more humble and formal particularly when dealing with clients.

But let me get to the ever more interesting bit Daniel Lew is actually bought and owned from a Graphic Design Photography Company as you can see here:

Did this guy or company see myself around the Internet and think Hey? this guy is going to be a Success if he isn’t already from all his brilliant marketing techniques and yeah we better quickly buy this guys name as it appears it’s going to be a success a bit like BradPitt.com.

Or on the other hand I can see from his registrant details he is running a Creative Agency, So what does this mean that all Daniel Lew’s are the owner’s of Creative Agencies?

Because this is actually what I do for a living this and more I am the Director of my own successful Advertising Agency which deals in that and a whole lot more including SEO and Online Marketing. Whatever the story we will be sure to find out . Welcome to DanLew.com
