If you've ever registered a domain name based on a "bright idea", this is for you. I'm one of those people, at one point owning 40+ domain names. Every idea, a new domain. At the time, you think "It's brilliant! I can't lose!". Later you think "What the hell was I thinking?". If that's you, this is your article. And if you see your domain mentioned, hey, at least you got some fame for not actually doing anything.

That's a lot of lost dreams (though some seemed to be nightmares!). Still - what were some of those people thinking????? I wonder why http://www.AFreeSecretHowToResidualW...psAndIdeas.com or http://www.Art-Art-Art-Art-Art-Art-A...rt-Art-Art.com didn’t do well? :lol: __________________ Professional photographer in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire specialising in Wedding photography, Events & Portraits
