Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

It was not a good week on eBay. I attempted to win a few auctions of (what I consider to be) really nice domains. Turns out other people thought they were pretty good too. My biggest disappointment was losing willshakespeare.com. But it jumped $350 in the last minute to sell for over $400. I don’t know that it was worth quite that much, but I’m a beginner at all of this …

I did win an auction for silentcollision.com. It has a small amount of traffic and some back links. But, I probably shouldn’t have bought it. I was watching two auctions and lost the first one so I bid on silentcollision. Oh well. I’ve got it parked at whypark.com for now.

I also purchased a script on eBay which automatically checks page rank, back links, alexa rating, etc. However, I can’t get it to completely work correctly. Parts of it are working. What do you expect, I guess, for $2.25? I’ll dig through the code to see if there’s anything I can do to fix it. It’s taken over bofoo.com right now.

I also read an article from the NY Times on how Google plans to make in-roads into the display ad business. So, I jumped over to GoDaddy to see if anything related was available. To my surprise googleexchangead.com and googleexchangeads.com were both available, so I snatched them up. Hopefully, as Google’s initiative picks up its pace I’ll start seeing more hits. These are also parked at whypark.com for the time being. I hope to write some custom articles on their whypark pages to help in driving traffic to them.

Speaking of traffic, I’m starting to see some on freemicrosoftdownloads.com. And, it’s not solely from me! I’ve even made a little money off of the visits. My total adsense revenue is now up to thirty-some dollars. Of course, I’ve spent over $200 so far, but you can’t make money without spending some, right? My total whypark revenue is at a whopping eleven cents (yes, $0.11). But, I’ve only started it a week or two ago. I do have thirteen sites parked with them now, so I hope to start generating more income fairly soon.
