Some time ago you heard about blogging, thought how wonderful it would be, created a unique name for yourself, learned some wordpress and started blogging when the spouse was asleep. Ideas were grand, intentions were good and you kept typing away.

Have you ever thought about those great ideas promising to provide unique content to the world? or how your blog would stand out because you would create information from a unique perspective that has yet to be done?

Some of the blogs I read tend to lose their steam or “uniqueness” fairly quickly. Maybe its because good content is hard to create and blogging is much easier said than done but have you ever intentionally matched your next article with your blog’s theme?

I’m not referring to anyone in particular – this is for any blog writer, anywhere, any industry. Ask yourself…

Has your blog become simply a forum for you to speak your mind?

When was the last time you compared the content of your blog to the theme or brand you present to people?

Are you delivering content your users expect?

I will be the first to admit that every article we post seems to be that much harder to stay within theme but our theme is a bit different than most. In fact, this blog doesn’t really have an exact theme – just a blog on a company domain. Essentially, the name “Newfound Names” was chosen to define a little of what we do (and pay homage to Newfoundland) more so than a theme behind our blog’s content.

My question is not for you haters who do not get the point but it’s for those who truly did start off by building a blog around a specific theme.

Have you stayed on course or drifted out to sea?

Just a question people – hopefully some will think about it.

Singular or Plural? .com, net or .org? These are questions asked by newbies every day when looking for the perfect domain. Take a name like CowboyHat.com which just sold for $16,000 on NameJet. I’m sure most domainers who are relatively new in this industry are scratching their heads and appraising some of their own names – If CowboyHat.com went for this much mine has to be worth this much?

I’m going to say this again for people who haven’t read some of my earlier posts.

Do not get wrapped up in the prices of domains at NameJet.

Yes, there are some good deals that happen every day but there are also many names that go much higher than they ever would if placed on another forum. The name above may very well be worth 16k or more but for most newbies its a lot of change and you’re battling against the proper tense to build a brand around.

Remember, its auction mentality and you have people with deep pockets where 16k is chump change. NameJet is addictive. Domain buying is addictive. It’s a game for some and you can get wrapped up really easy.

There is no easy way to valuate domain names and anyone worth a penny in this business will tell you all the appraisals available are more valuable for the paper they are written on than the information they provide.

Maybe the buyer saw value in parking, maybe he owns CowboyHats.com (defensive registration with traffic quality) – who knows for sure but again, if it’s worth 16k to him that’s cool and congrats on winning the name.

However, back to singular or plural for newbies and brand builders.

If you are buying a domain to develop as your MAIN site than get the right tense.

Sure, you can buy 1,000’s of secondary domains in wrong tenses, alternate extensions and hyphens to feed them in to your MAIN site by forwarding, mini sites etc but please for your main site, your benchmark, the brand you are trying to build – get the right tense.

If the .com is not available in the correct tense for your brand you may even be tempted to think the wrong tense is still ok but seriously, don’t do it.

If you have to settle for a .net or .org in the right tense my opinion is buy and develop around the .net or .org.

Again, if you’re buying to develop a MAIN site.

You want to show a professional image behind your brand and the wrong tense can tarnish that professional appeal – in some cases, it can even make you look stupid.

.com is king but .net and .org are the queens and I would rather have a great queen than a secondary king any day.

Its all about content – build it and they will come.

When they do, try not to look like an ass.

What I love most about domain names are they help provide a foundation for creating original material accessible by anyone in the world.

No long distance charges, no calling codes – simply type and go.

When you create a successful brand the normal move is to spin off other ideas which can generate more revenue for you and your investors. Todays wide use of the internet rewards creative minds by providing a very cheap platform that can be created overnight to take advantage of popular concepts “within your brand”. This cheap form (basically the cost of a website and just adding a link to your homepage) has far greater potential for a favorable ROI than almost any traditional media because remember, your brand is already built so you need to shift some of the branding money to customer retention.

Entourage is a hit show – few can argue that. Every time HBO rolls out another show they win more fans but it’s great to see the marketing team understand it’s just not enough to show ads on TV. They must engage the internet audience in ways that create laughter, discussion – anything to keep people loyal to their product.

So, what did HBO do?

Either (a) visit HBO’s Entourage site and scroll to the bottom left – click on the Viking Quest banner or (b) Click here to go direct to the Viking Quest site.

Now, try to order the DVD.  Maybe 5 or 10k for the website but a lifetime of priceless promotion – with investors lining up to do a Viking Quest I’m sure.

Ask yourself – are there mini sites you can create for your brand?

Do you own the domain names?

A great article was posted by belhass on Nokia’s newest campaign featuring call-to-action domain names in advertising using one of the best ways I’ve seen yet.

Check out the full article, video and links here

Nokia understands how to bring people to the web for sure and these ads are effective, unique, engaging - everything needed for a great campaign.

Advertise, peak the consumers interest, get them to your site, engage them online.

Simply perfect in my opinion

(except that Anna left out her real phone number .. ha)

When we came up with the company name Newfound Names it was in part an ode to the province of Newfoundland but also a clear way to define each name we acquire through drops, registrations, private sales etc.

Every now and then we will try to post some domains available for registration that simply do not fit with our long term plan but may be of value to other domainers. How often will we do this? probably not very often by way of this blog but when we do hopefully someone can find value and show us a success story down the road.

Domaining is like family in some ways so brothers and sisters – enjoy the following list of names – all available at the time of post.

This post may ruffle some feathers but in “you snooze, you loose” fashion it should be clear that even the most professional domainers are not always doing everything they can to secure their brand.  Each time we launch a project we do our best to secure all 3 extensions (.com, .net and .org) also considering if a singular or plural version makes sense (in the .com extension).

We are all brand builders at the end of the day.  Whether it’s the Newfound Names brand, the PrivateNames brand or any brand – all domainers with blogs are trying to carve a niche in the world.  How many domains do we all own? from the hundreds to the hundreds of thousands, just depends on who you ask.

So, when we all started blogging we all had big ideas about how everyone would know our company name.  Some have kept up with the hard work required to punch good articles out while others have disappered in a dark alley.  However, for those still standing who are buying, selling, flipping, developing, writing about domains – whatever your fancy is - how many have looked in the mirror and said lets spend another $7 to build your brand.  Of course, many have not done what I’m about to say because of choice and that’s cool but those that forgot to check or simply missed the idea then here it is.

Wait…..

Don’t be jerks here people – only take what is yours….. some could be trademarked.

Now, the punch line….
