I’ve pondered a few things lately regarding the status of the almost 4000 domains I own. I’ve whittled this list down over 10 years, so I don’t have any crap domains. At least, that’s my professional opinion, but what do I know other than what Adam Strong and Andrew Allemann tell me?

 | Are We selling Domains or Websites?
I have come across quite a few forum posts, blog posts and even newsletters where domainers are insisting that setting up a website for a domain name will make it much easier for a domain name to sell.
