So, over the past 5 years I have purchased probably 250 domain names, email accounts, website accounts, hosting accounts and virtually everything else GoDaddy has to offer. Yesterday I stumbled across something and am surprised I never paid it any attention before!!!!
I just read this great article about a sales person for a domain marketing company trying to sell a domain name and the potential client not understanding what a great deal it was to her company to buy it.

A new type of realtor is one who understands how people use the internet to find real estate information. Long-gone are the customers who come in and tell a realtor what they would like to see and then pick a home based solely on the realtor's recommendation.
Many domain services such as GoDaddy.com offer an email account relevant to the specific domain you purchase. The benefits to this option would include the following:
Purchasing a domain for each individual listing is so much fun!! The sellers always love this idea! I choose a domain related to the listing (street name, city name, subdivision name, etc...). I always purchase the suffix that is ON SALE at www.GoDaddy.com, usually .com, .net, or .info. I link the domain to the visual … (15 comments)

What is so remarkable about the agent website I just finished? It's for a 91 year old real estate agent who decided she needed to boost her online marketing presence. That's right - 91 and a real estate agent for 50 years right here in Northern Virginia. When I got the … (14 comments)

Here is a list of 8 ways you can launch your real estate internet marketing career and start gettting leads and selling homes through your personal web sites..
A good registrar is hard to find. I've worked with Dotster.com, DomainsAreFree.com, and several others. I've learned a few things. The first thing is that in order to preserve and protect your web presence, you need to be in control of your domains. You can't have a third party register them … (1 comments)
I did a blog yesterday about bait websites (http://activerain.com/blogsview/169935/Bait-Sites-Good-orhat) I use to test content and keywords while linking back to my main website. I use http://www.godaddy.com/ for my domain names which come with a free five page website. It really is the cheapest advertising you do. I have been asked how … (11 comments)
By: Jenna Ryan The Marketing Shop.com August 3, 2007 1. Does having more than one domain name help my search rankings? No. There's no need to register a zillion domain names. It will not help your rankings one iota. 2. I have a domain name I've had for years, should I ditch … (9 comments)
Apologies is someone already brought this up, but i just have to blog about this.
Be honest, how many domain names do you own? It's like shopping, I search, find one I think is awesome and buy it. Now I have a ton of them. I point them all to the same web site, but is that the best use of these domain names? Is it … (7 comments)
I was doing some research this evening for real estate domain names, and I used an old domain name research tool that I find very effective. I've not heard it talked about much online, but thought this would be a good time to share the website. The names of the site … (18 comments)
I have casually wondered in the past what the oldest domain names might be. Who were the first visionaries thinking about the importance of such "real estate?" I would have thought that at least one of the first 100 names would have something to do with real estate. Thanks to Jottingsfor … (9 comments)
In the US at least 100 million consumers are searching real estate on the Internet. Large Internet companies have taken notice to the insane interest of on-line home browsing over the past 2 years and may have positioned themselves nicely at the start of this new "Verticle Search" era. Companies like Google, … (3 comments)
Did you know that if you use the term Realtor or Realtors in your domain name - there is a good chance NAR will come after you even if you are a NAR member and a licensed agent? Is this fair? How can they tell you you can not use:
As real estate professionals we are always looking for ways to continue to add leads for our business. As most of us have more than 1 domain, it is important that we save where we can on our purchase of domain names.
Owning your own domain gives you so much more freedom on the internet and I would say it is an absolute necessity to ensure success, as it gives you the option to make changes to your site as and when you need to. 
So you've finally decided to take the plunge and buy your own domain name for your real estate business. 
Please don't steel any of these, and if you have some other ideas for something creative, easy to remember, and easy to promote please let me know.
Private Domain Name Registration -or- Length of Domain Registration???
Anyone that knows me knows that I am very bullish on the idea of small companies and individuals using the internet to compete with companies of any size - the great thing is that on the internet everyone has the same amount of monitor screen size as everyone else....

Yes, I altered slightly a slogan that we have all heard too much. But I'm hoping we might spark each other into some creativity in domain names. I set up a domain name for all my listings. Some are more creative but usually I just use the address.
Recently I needed to reserve a domain name. Now over the years I have done this many times and have had many challenging moments as my lack of tech skills collided with the various domain gods. There is no phone number to call, no live help and trying to figure out … (7 comments)
This article summarizes the advice I give my clients for becoming discriminating web consumers and understanding the nature and purpose of the content of real estate websites. There are plenty. The search term “real estate” turns up nearly 350 million pages on Google™. That puts it ahead of “God” with 181 … (0 comments)
Most agents know that only members of the National Association of Realtors may use the term Realtor® but some agents, hopefully unknowingly, improperly use "realtor" in their domain names or e-mails. They may use "johnxxxyxrealtor@domain.com" or 'www.johnxxxyxrealtor.com" but may NOT use "realtor" with a geographic name or anything other than a name … (7 comments)
