Free Domain Name Gems On The Web?

April 24, 2008 | Domain Blog

This is one of those extremely low risk - possible reward scenarios.

Have you ever thought about subdomains on popular sites such as Myspace, Youtube, Squidoo, etc?

I haven’t tested it, but I’ll wager the major keywords on here fetch some type-in traffic from the sites users.  Furthermore, there’s even a little value in these names.  Maybe a lot.

Think about it.  Imagine if you owned Youtube.com/money.  I bet that’s pretty valuable.  Furthermore, endusers such as TNT tv shows and celebrities have made a home page off of Myspace. 

The great part is they’re free to register and there is upside to nabbing a top domain.  It may be worth your while to search out a few.  I’ve only grabbed names that I actually use to produce items like videos (youtube.com/domainvlog) or my own personal website pages, but if you have a website you may want to grab the pop culture equivalent of it.

These names could turn out to be gems for marketing purposes and establishing a repoire using a reputable sites address.  Another positive is at the very least, you garner another link to your home address.
