A few time ago my friend Darren Herman, serial entrepreneur & adviser, has write a post about domain names and fact that he is chasing for good domain names.

As a entrepreneur, he has a lot of business ideas, and he quickly goes to GoDaddy and register as many domain names related to that idea as possible. Well I might have some ideas from time to time, maybe not the best but when I go to search for domain names, I never get lucky :) It looks that there are not more .com or .net domain names.

What he thinks about domain names:

Are they a good investment however?  I’d argue…yes.  Domain names are your name on the web.  Whilst search engines don’t send you to domain names, rather websites, they are how people relate to you after search.  It’s your brand, it’s your identity. I believe that great domains hold significant value as domain names are timeless.

When I was trying to find a domain name for this blog I wanted to be simple and at the point, just “Candes” but it wasn’t available and the Mr. owner was never to be found, so I had to a attach another word to it: “Projects” which is related with what I do.

Like Darren said:

99% of the time, I don’t do anything with them and end up collecting cyber dust.

So I’m starting to invidious on this people who are buying domain names for nothing. Maybe I should do the same … from what is left :)

And to close this post I would like you to take a look at the next video and tell me your opinion about domain name and what is your strategy to find good domain names.
