Blakeize.com Domain Purchase

I am the proud owner of Blakeize.com

Domain Speculation is one of the $10 Money Bucket ideas on my sheet of paper. I spent almost 2 hours on this past weekend doing research.

But then today it happened. Randy Jackson said the word Blakeize on American Idol. I knew I had to act fast. I logged in to my hosting account and made the purchase.

Next I made a default landing page. To be fair to the project I will say that I am hosting the page on one of my existing accounts. But since I could use a park page or a free blog as the landing page I am not going to count any hosting cost for this purchase.

I have a stats tracker on the page so I can see how much typein traffic it gets. The reason I didn't buy a domain name for speculation over the weekend was flip time. I didn't want to tie my $10 up for a year or more. With this domain I should be able to sell it in a few days.

But it is a gamble. If I sell now and Blake wins American Idol the value of this domain will go way up.

Right now bidding is open. If I get an offer I like, I will sell it right away.

In the next day or two I will update my project balance and the money buckets graphic.
