Getting Lucky With Domains

Luck as we all know is part of life. Getting lucky with domains, at times, can be worth many thousands and sometimes many millions.

Via Erik J. Heels’ blog:

I’ve been on the Internet since 1984, watched the Internet evolve from text-based protocols to web-based protocols in the 1990s, and completely missed the generic domain name gold rush that has made many millionaire domainers.

Well, almost completely.

On 08/02/95, I registered one good generic domain name - Heels.com. And that was only because I have an unusual surname (”Heels”). Today, I’m busy turning Heels.com into the premier destination for designer women’s shoes. It could be worse. My surname could be Bush.

And also, might add a cool little graphic here attached to his post that is somewhat related to an idea I discussed earlier..

And for Erik, if you decide to sell, do let me know. It’s a good one.

    That was a lucky thing–many of missed the boat on getting the gold URL name. So, it is fun to actually hear about someone who did not miss it.
