Last week I wrote about buying my first .us domain name. After losing a Bido auction for SuicideHelp.org which sold for $207 I hand registered the .us version. As promised I would create a mini-site to help those that may be suicidal.
My future plans are to do some SEO work and continue adding articles maybe once or twice per month. I may also solicit people to submit their real world suicide stories via text or video. At this point I have no plans of monetizing the site in any way.
So what do you think? I know the header is a shocker. That’s the goal, want to get the point across.
Just a couple quick notes. I know the background is boring, I have something in the works for next week. I was able to shorten this video down to about 7 minutes, 5 minutes less than last week. Lastly I’m still researching some different podcast methods so you will be able to download audio only.

This was the first auction I have attended at DNF. After talking to the guys on the forum they haven’t had one since September, not sure why though.
Overall I would say the auction went well, started with about 40 participants and worked its way down to about 20. The highlight of the night was the sale of STIE.com for $2,000.
Here are some of the other domains sold:
BOTB.com $420
AromaTherapySpray.com with AEIOU mini-site $250
NameChange.net $85
WIQS.com $40
BHHP.com $250
ForeclosureLoans.biz $30 (bought by me)
The .biz purchase is my first one, should make a great mini-site. Great keyword domain with high paying ppc.

Another great auction, no surprises or sleepers in this one.
For those of you that have been asking for an interview with RJ, owner of NamePros, I have good news. I briefly chatted with him during the auction and he agreed. Look for that in a couple weeks.

I have to say, for the first time, I couldn’t pick out 10 plus favorite names. There are certainly some deals to be taken advantage of, but no big names like previous auctions. Now this is based on my opinion, everyone has there own likes and dislikes. There are several 3 letter .in packages and several LNL.com’s, I just do not like those type of domain names. Here is a list of what I like in tonight’s auction.
