Did I Ever Tell You About That Time I Bought a Domain from God?

GodDomain

When I was in the midst of buying domains with the ultimate keywords that a “guru” said I should have I came across what I thought was the perfect one.

This was like two domain name changes ago. (Yes, I know, don’t remind me.)

Here’s the thing. I thought to myself “Oh Yeah! I got myself the domain of all domain names right here and God wants to sell it to me. Sweet!”

So I buy it and then I listened to a “guru” and decided to just forward it instead to my domain that had my name in it. After all said “guru” said I was my brand.

What did I learn from buying a domain from God?

  1. Don’t change my domain name 84 times because I don’t get any awesome keyword loving from it.
  2. Still not a bad idea to buy it because my so-called competitors can’t get it. *insert Dr. Evil laugh* and forward the minimal amount of traffic to my domain.
  3. Buying a domain with a hyphen isn’t ideal. People forget to put them in when they type it and could end up looking at porn. True story.
