After losing out on the domain landrush of the 90s and early 2000s, many Domainers turned to alternate names – using “THE” starting at the beginning of the name or the term “101” at the end.
With the popularity of social media sites other variations became in demand like “YOU” and “MY” starting at the beginning of the domain name and “TUBE” at the end. Despite advice from Longtime Domainers saying you should own category-killer domain names – there are plenty of others who say the contrary – with proof to show that with some good development, it’s worth it.
Getting a start in the Domain Industry doesn’t mean you have to feel inclined to only buy killer names, because you can buy names and develop them into moneymaking machines. It’s not just coming from us or other new domainers, it’s coming from very successful companies who are doing it everyday. While you might not be interested in registering less than category-killer names, it is ultimately less expensive than the alternative.
Don’t Take it from us – Check out Moxy Media
Moxy Media’s publishing division operates over 300 websites according to their Corporate site – with each site providing consumers with information and access to products and services. These sites get more than 15 million visitors per month and not all the traffic is coming from their category-killers like LawFirms.com, PlasticSurgeons.com, Dentists.org, or Chiropractors.org – it’s also coming from unlikely websites that use domains like SwimmingPools101.com and DesignerHandBags101.com.

We got hooked on 101 domain names about a year ago after reading about Moxy Media. Mike Cohen pointed out their successful model in a story called “30,000 developed domains = hundreds of thousands of exclusive referrals and targeted leads per year… Cha-Ching $$$“.
