Domain speculation is getting harder and harder

frustrated womanLooking to make a quick buck by registering a name and turning it over to someone else for a profit? While some domainers still do this, the once easy practice now requires a great deal of creativity. Just look at a post today written at The Domains:

The Social Security Administration publishes an annual list of the 1,000 most popular baby names for boys and girls and just released its list for 2009. It may not surprise you to learn that every matching .com for each of the 1,000 most popular boys and 1,000 most popular girls is taken.

Out of the 2,000 names, 1,600 were registered before the year 2000. Just about every city in the United States and Europe is registered as a domain. All future hurricane names, which are published years ahead of time by the National Hurricane Center, are taken as well.

What does that leave us with? Diddly squat, unfortunately. However, there will always be a chance to grab premium-keyword domains are new TLDs are launched. If the upcoming gTLDs are as popular as proponents predict, expect a huge rush of new domain speculation to come.
