POLL: How Did You Acquire Your Most Valuable Domain Name?

This is more of a fun question to get people thinking about the power of domain names.  I’m sure there are many people, including myself who hand-registered some of their best names years ago.  I’m guessing an even larger audience shelled out the big bucks in the aftermarket to purchase their prize domains.

Let’s get right to the poll question and find out where people are getting their best names!

Before answering, think a moment and choose a single domain from your portfolio that you believe is the most valuable.

Previous Poll Results

Last month I asked quite a popular question, How do you monetize your domain name portfolio? Many people voted and the results are pretty clear. Alot of respondents are still using traditional PPC parking. It was a bit of a surprise to see Google AdSense at #2, meaning people are developing custom sites as well.

• PPC Parking Company (60%, 52 Votes)
• Google AdSense (45%, 39 Votes)
• Domain Sales (40%, 34 Votes)
• Affiliate Program Offers (30%, 26 Votes)
• Mini-site Development (29%, 25 Votes)
• Business Development (21%, 18 Votes)
• Product Sales (13%, 11 Votes)
• Direct Advertisement Sales (10%, 9 Votes)
• Domain Usage Rental (6%, 5 Votes)

I would like to see direct advertising and business development become a larger part of monetizing and building out domain names. I suspect we will see more niche ad networks and greater business building tools become popular very soon.
