At this time of year it’s time to reflect on the past year and consider the future. I’m no different, and am currently pondering what changes to make to my network of websites and domain portfolio.

I’ve got quite a few websites now, ranging from the old to the very new. Some receive quite a bit of traffic, while some hardly any. The revenue too varies. So how to proceed?

Well I’ve already decided on one major change, and that is to sell my biggest website. I think I’ve taken it as far as I can, and therefore I’m hoping someone will buy it and take it forward.

I’ll reveal more when I’ve decided on when and how to sell it, as it’ll be a huge sale for me.

I’ve noticed that over the last month that my developing of websites has dropped off hugely, so that’s somewhere I need to improve, especially as I’ve still got quite a few unfinished projects.

Thankfully, my sales of domains has picked up in recent weeks, I’ve sold around four now. I can’t say I’m a fan of selling domains, so I think it’s something I’m going to limit in the future.

I still do intend to buy websites, in fact, I’ve purchased three over the last week or so. They’re a mix bag with one about Hitler’s wife Eva Braun, the other about giant squid, and finally one on antelopes.

As well as the aforementioned, I’ll more than likely continue to sell the odd site or two, but of course, only at the right price.

So how will things go? Who knows, all being well I’ll continue to write about my progress here during 2008.

Sometimes it’s amazing how suddenly domains become available. For example, today I was looking to see if any were available for one of my favourite bands, and guess what, the .info was there unregistered!

I think it just goes to shows how I should keep track of domains that I’d be interested in registering, as you never know which ones might expire.

Keeping on the subject of domains, I listed some again for sale on various forums. There was a bit of interest with a couple of bids. So far, one is sold with another still available due to a non-payer.

The latter I can’t say I’m impressed with. The so-called buyer bid knowing he didn’t have the funds to pay. He also got abusive saying that I agreed to sell for Namepros cash - which of course isn’t true. I should have left negative feedback, and perhaps still will, as I’m fed up with these childish time wasting morons.

This week I’ve made yet another attempt to sell a few of my domains. The reason for selling is because I’m looking to offload them due to concentrating on developing other projects.

I put 14 domains - which were mainly .infos - up for sale on various forums. This time instead of just asking for offers, I set up auctions with reasonable starting prices.

I thought I needed a hook to get people to view my thread, so I put one of the domain’s starting price at just $1. This meant I could put “Domains starting from $1″ in this thread title.

So far, I’ve sold 2 out of the 14, which considering previously I hadn’t sold any, is pretty good for me.

The last few days I’ve become something on a Heroes addict. I must have watched nine episodes in total. I know I’m ‘late to the game’ as the show is already in it’s second season, but must say it one of the best television shows for years!

Despite turning into a ‘telly addict’, I am planning new websites. I even looked into buying a domain for one of the projects. Unfortunately, as per usual, owner’s have unrealistic valuations over their domains, so I went ahead and registered an available domain instead. I have high hopes for one of the sites, but it’s going to be tough to put together, however, I’m sure it’ll be fun at the same time.
