Earthquake in Chile – and here Goes the Domains…

Posted on February 28th, 2010 by AndrewHazenCom  |  No Comments »

As I vented in my post on the Austin Plane Crash  I started looking last night at Chile-realted Earthquake domains that were being registered; and who was registering them (i.e. real organizations or people trying to monetize a tragedy?)

I was sort of surprised to see that ChileEarthquake.com was registered in December 2004

However, the following have JUST been registered:

ChileEarthquakeRelief.com (registered 2/27/10)

ChileEarthquakeRelief.org (registered 2/27/10)

ChileDisaster.com (registered 2/27/10) a live with pictures and Google Ads (when I checked, it was serving public Announcement Ads)

ChiledDisaster.org (registered 2/27/10)

ChileEarthquake.org (ergistered 2/27/10)

ChileDisasterRelief.com – (registered 2/27/10) a live site ALREADY taking Donations – not sure how official it is!

The list goes on and on and as I always say – PLEASE do not monetize someone elses tragedy….be sure to see DonateDomains.com (note – I am not affiliated with this site) I belief it is a good cause.

Some ‘Guide’ Related Domains

Posted on February 27th, 2010 by AndrewHazenCom  |  No Comments »

Just noticed some semi-decent Guide-related domains that are pending delete and should be available soon for hand registration.  The list inlcudes:

AtoZGuide.com (lots of ways to approach this from a content perspective)

UlcerGuide.com

VelvetGuide.com

SeizureGuide.com

RotaryGuide.com

OddGuide.com

SingerGuide.com (great for an eBook on how to become a singer)

CheaperGuide.com

CarSpecGuide.com

HusbandGuide.com (could be interesting)

HebrewGuide.com (easy to monetize)

As I always say, if one of these topics are something you are TRUELY passionate about then you can have a lot of fun and make a lot of money with some of these domains….good luck!

Austin Plane Crash – Domains Already Being Registered

Posted on February 18th, 2010 by AndrewHazenCom  |  3 Comments »

Within minutes of the trageic Austin plane crash today; I was not surprised to see related domain names being registered by the minute….

The following domain names were ALL registered today:

AustinPlaneCrash.com

AustinPlaneCrash.org

AustinPlaneCrash.info

AustinTexasPlaneCrash.com

As domainer I think this is pathetic; unless the domains are being used to collect donations, broadcast useful information, etc.  Pretty pathetic when others try to monetize a tragedy!!

LongIsland.com Sells for $370,000

Posted on February 5th, 2010 by AndrewHazenCom  |  2 Comments »

As a Long Islander and self-admitted domain addict, I have always had an interest in LongIsland.com owned by Invision. 

Recently, the opportunity presented itself to purchase LongIsland.com where the asking price was $500k – $1M; a price I was not willing to spend at the time…..however, in the past few weeks, feels like months, a lot has transpired and TODAY, hours before the closing of an online silent auction, the reserve price on LongIsland.com was lowered to $350,000.  Please note that I was aware of the price reduction before the sale was over…

While I sat in a new client meeting in Manhattan, I stared at my phone just waiting for the results….and then it happened, the domain LongIsland.com SOLD for $370,000 and at this point I don’t know who the buyer is but I sure am curious and even more curious to see what they do with this site based on some of the stipulations set forth with the purchase – see listing here

This domain has SO MUCH potential it’s insane!!  I won’t go too much into now as I’m sure the new owners might want to consult with us first…

Football Playoffs Were Great for AllPizzaCoupons.com

Posted on January 24th, 2010 by AndrewHazenCom  |  No Comments »

You know how I feel about my coupon sites….I’ve got nearly 50 of them!  This weekend was unbelievable for AllPizzaCoupons.com….with the following Google rankings, the site got plenty of qualified traffic this weekend:

# 7 Pizza Specials

#10 Pizza Delivery Specials

#11 Pizza Coupons

#9 Pizza Restaurant Coupons

# 1 & #2 Frozen Pizza Coupons

I also see that AllFastFoodCoupons.com did very well too, traffic is up nearly 1,000% and doesn’t indicate that it’s slowing down at all.  Got to keep tweaking the SEO and inbound links…only two weeks until the Super Bowl.

HaitiEarthquakes.com and Other Haiti-Related Domains…

By @AndrewHazen

Being that I am a domain name addict, I had to check to see what was happening with haiti-related domain names given the recent tragedy…

I first checked HaitiEarthquake.com which was regsitered on 1/12/10 and redirects to a google page talking about donating money for relief…This is a GOOD use of the domain name.

HaitiEarthquakes.com is a parked site (which means they make money from serving ads) and was created on 1/13/10…hopefully this domain will be used with good intentions since it was just procured!

HaitiEarthquakeDisaster.com was created on 1/13/10 and looks to be taking paypal donations…..doesn’t say what organization it is and when you click on the paypal button to “donate” the paypal page shows “Gift Baskets N Gifts”….certainly suspect – BE CAREFUL!!

HaitiEarthquake.org was regsitered today 1/15/10 and appears to be parked at the moment…..

Makes you think; doesn’t it!

Have a great weekend……
