You are a true entreprenuer my friend. Thinking in a new way again and again. This accquisition that you are doing is pretty catchy, I think I’m going to try and replicate your model!

I have been thinking a lot about the idea of blog sponsors. I’ve written a list of companies I’d like to approach, but I recently was told by another blogger that I shouldn’t even consider putting any ads on my blog until I have at least 4000-6000 daily readers. I’m nowhere near that right now…should I wait?

I think the trick is every domain you have must at minimum “pay for itself” ie cover its own cost to renew and host, then you build from there.

No Point just holding on to domains or having an inventory unless you have an audience to sell too!

Hi Scott,

Any updates on your geo exploits? How are your sites faring in terms of traffic and ads coming in? It’s nice if you can provide inputs. I’m planning to venturing on the same niche and expand my online empire (kidding!).

Sometimes, I miss having an inventory of .co.uk domains. Now that I’m out of the country, the prospects and time really dwindled for me that it was no longer worth the effort to build a domain, even a keyword one.

But still getting a keyword .co.uk before presented a good opportunity to rank and make money. Glad this avenue is still a cash cow for some people.

Good luck Scott!

No I’m not going to sell it Justin as it’s based off another script so won’t repackage & sell it. I’d get the site ranking top 10 with some general content to make the trip more productive with possible sales, certainly preferable to have a local contact or spend a bit of time there just taking your own pictures which can save lots of royalty fees.

Scott, have you decided if you’ll sell this yet?

Also, I’d like your feedback on something – would you consider it a good idea to travel to the destination where you’ve built several of these sites, to find and meet with potential advertisers? Or is it better just to wait until they’re ranked and let them contact you?

Nice domain purchase Scott, you could try and scoop all the castles of scotland, would make a great network!

scotlandcastles.co.uk or castlesofscotland.co.uk both up for sale so it seems!

Cheers Julian, I do remember seeing it was to be the first in the UK in the paper a while back, I should probably take note and get something written on it, as you say it’s an attraction. Just bought StirlingCastle.co.uk today which will go well with EdinburghCastle.co.uk as tourist attractions have the advantage of a lot of up-sells like tickets & accommodation.
