Dot Asia Domain Update

Note: Read the full article and get my available top 4-letter picks!

logo_dot_asia.gifOn the 26th of March 2008 [dot] Asia domains were released to the public. It has been a massive first-come-first-served fight out. What they (dotasia.org) tried to do was have pre-registrations so companies, individuals and governments could reserve their names and trademarks. As for quality updated information on the net, check the .asia forums out there.

In my humble opinion dotasia.org did well. They are cashing in on the domain frenzy big time. Check the domain tickers on their website. It is basically a scrolling stock market domain price indicator. A group called Sunrise have reserved a giant swath of quality domains and are auctioning them off for a humble penny.

  • Ace.asia - USD $20,501
  • MediaWorld.asia - USD $10,000
  • Spotlight.asia - $5,700

Why No Niche? - Random Blogging Explained

“Your topics are random - you need a niche!”

These are comments from friends I have received and I want to explain what it is I am doing at johnnymestizo.com For this I refer to the article by Darren Rowse at Problogger, One Blog Many Categories or Many Blogs.

Darren: One of the common ways that many bloggers start out in their entrepreneurial blogging is through a personal and very general blog that covers many topics of interest. It makes sense in many ways - it’s simpler to have it all in one place, to manage one set of statistics, one design, one set of readers etc. Read the rest of this entry »

Does Monetisation Work in Todays Blogging Age?

peso1.jpgBloggers use the blog as a personal outlet to vent frustration, creativity, to be sociable, to show off… but eventually you start to think - with all the time you put your blog you should be getting something in return - especially if you pay for hosting and internet access. Blog monetisation was born.

Will the next article on problogger.net or johnchow.com be the magic tip that only I can capitalise allowing me to crush the competition? All I need to do is get that specialised blog running. I find myself doing everyday things asking myself is this a ‘niche’ not yet exploited? Will toiletcleaner.com be already in use? (It actually is!!) It all seems to much so lets sit back and put it into context. What are we up against? Read the rest of this entry »
