To bad someone has InternetMarketersGuild.com already. If you had that one too you could park it and have it redirect to the forum. Adding '<span style="font-style: italic;">The</span>' to a domain may not be the most popular choice but in your case it sounds right. When I Google '<span style="font-style: italic;">Internet Marketers Guild</span>' your site shows as the number one search result. I have over one hundred domains and a very large chunk are up for renewal in the next two months - ouch! Hi Brad, I like your domain TheInternetMarketersGuild.com.

Domains, what a great subject I have been trying to hoard a few if I can find good .coms. I do own a few .nets but they are to put satellite sites on after I get the forum up and running. .nets are great for that you can have the same domain name but it is basically hidden right out in the open. Most people even when you put like my site as long as it is theinternetmarketersguild. If you put that in your browser it will automatically attach the http: of course but it always puts a .com on the end by default. I'm not sure yet but I may have made a small mistake in my choice of domain names. I did think ahead a little though I have marketersunion.com parked if I need to change. But I totally agree .coms are getting scarce and in high demand. what would happen if they started selling .com2, or .com3 think of the problems that would cause. But if there is money involved I wouldn't write that off as an option down the road. Let the wars begin. Just a thought. Anyway I found that you really need two to four people that you trust to brainstorm over domain names to choose a good one. That way you get more options. also I would buy #1 and #2 0n the list Thanks for the post this subject can go on and on. It comes up to keyword research, long tail keywords for most right now. Always my best Happy Holidays Merry Christmas Brad West ~ onomoney Great Post.

I had a few clients tell me that they kept adding a letter s after one of my domains. So I figured I better go buy it, to keep from loosing the traffic. Well, SEDO had the domain. It said to contact them for pricing. I did, only to find they wanted $11,000 for the domain. The woman on the phone asked me how I would like to purchase the domain. I laughed and told her I was not at all interested in the domain for that kind of money. What kills me is, so many people pay that and MORE for domains! I have a good friend who is a domain broker, and he sells domains for 30-50K. I can not image paying $30 for a domain not to mention 30k! I always tell people to try other variations of the name they want if theirs is taken. You are better off with a different variation that is a .com that a .info in my opinion.

Thanks for taking the time to comment. Hi Tara, I’ve also noticed that many dot coms for sale or bid are for ridiculously high prices. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
