Name Spinning

Name Spinning is using a thesaurus to generate optional domain names. For instance, if you’re looking for a domain for “house renting,” a name spinner might come up with “house renting.com”,”casa renting.com”, “house leasing.com” and “casa leasing.com.” One of my favorites has been DomainsBot but NameBoy is really making a good impression.

Name Boy has a better spread of optional names; Domainsbot will sometimes wind up with things like “easyhomerenting” and “myhomerenting” which are sort of bland.

It was about five or six years ago when a client encouraged me to consider a name spinning tool. He had a domain registration service and the one he used was, frankly, terrible. I always got hung up on how to break up a domain request ( houserenting) into the component words, but these namespinners rely on the user’s input of keywords.

Give nameboy a try; it’s a lot of fun.

Making the Monies

So, where am I making the most money lately?

First and foremost, I’m earning about $100/month or so from a ebay site. I’m also earning about $30 from . That’s it.

A buck a night? I’m not so sure. But I can also say that I’m making a fair amount of interesting discoveries. I was doing some research on “auto restoration,” to find new articles and information in a niche when I tripped over “camaro headlights dot com” … fascinating, huh? A specific model of car and a specific thing someone might need to replace. So perhaps I should focus my niches?

I have one niche, for instance, at “project cars” with pages beneath it for makes or states. What if I worked the “ford” angle and aimed at “restoring ford trucks” or something?
