I realize that I haven’t updated in awhile, but there really isn’t anything to write about. My sites are running smoothly, and most of them are seeing gains in all categories of running a website (traffic, backlinks, content, revenue, costs, etc).
I recently found an interesting trend in my network: the sites I spend the least amount of time working on are doing the best. I wish I could post an example, but I’m getting ready to start some heavy work on one of the sites and don’t want to spoil the niche. But the site that I spent the least amount of time on is on an aged domain, while the sites that I spend a lot of time working on are on fresh domains.
Everybody already knows this, but I didn’t realize the power of it: aged domains are the way to go. I started BSG on a fresh domain and put a lot of work into it. It isn’t doing that well. On the flip side I paid $3 for a year-old domain that a webmaster was just going to let expire, and right now it’s doing great, easily kicking BSG’s ass. I’ll never build a site on a new domain again.
That’s all for today, remember folks: buy aged domains!

Thanks for reading man. As far as finding these aged domains, I prefer purchasing them off of forum marketplaces from places such as NamePros and Wickedfire. Another good place to find domains is from the Godaddy marketplace, tdnam.com

One core part of the new toolset from Shoemoney is a database of aged domains with links that are free for registration. Although I don’t really like the guy, this alone is well worth a subscription, especially since the prices are pretty reasonable.
