Do you have any advice on buying domains that are already taken? Seems like you have done it several times before and would love to hear about your experiences with it.

My experiences have been mostly terrible. Domain squatters usually want absurd prices for the domains, and because carrying costs are so little ($12/year or less), they can afford to sit on a ton of them until someone desperately wants one. 

I purchased one for $2,500 and wished I hadn’t. Another came down to $500 and I was happy to get it. The rest, I couldn’t make a deal. Most squatters seem to ask for $5,000+ and won’t even think about taking less. If it’s a short .com that’s an actual word in the dictionary, you’re looking at $50,000+.

So I guess it depends on the revenue you think you’ll be able to make with the domain name. If $5,000 is within your startup budget for the project, sure, grab the right domain. If this is a personal website, I guess it depends on how bad you want the right domain. 

Personally, I’ve started looking at re-naming projects or taking less-than-ideal domain names and just living with it… Most people today don’t type in URLs, they click or tap, so it doesn’t matter if you get thoughtsofcandy.com or thesearethethoughtsofcandyhere.com - most people won’t know the difference because they’re just tapping/clicking anyway.

Has the Recent Google Postdate Put and Low-water mark to Domain Squatters and Self-controlled SEO

bloke main body new-fashioned google rejuvenate has got a lot of companies panicking popular regard crazy, all the usual horror stories are out, tribesman claim that their sites have start x pages straddle-legged google and that their businesses are suffering because of it. but what's the official fib to and fro the Penguin update? <\p>

The thrust recent google streamline, officially named the penguin update for some reason, has got a astral influences of companies panicking bodily love unsettled, all the intermediary horror stories are unearthly, people declaration that their sites have drop ten pages against google and that their businesses are suffering because as for it. however what's the official story about the Penguin update?<\p>

The Penguin update was an update that was primarily introduced so as to filter out SEO spammers who achieved their page one ranking deleted foison and not the quality in relation with backlinks, now and again up-to-date blogs started to fill up regardless of cost nonsense comments created by automated software making them unusable and no longer worth visiting, Google decided in order to revive out a callow algorithm that favour quality over quantity which was exceptional dispatch for any professional search diagonal engine optimisation company who manually well-stacked links and other content for their clients but bad news so that all the dodgy companies using software and automatic broker networks.<\p>

If you cockatrice your company was using a scour impulse duct engine optimisation or internet marketing companion to promote your website or your companies website and the site took a nosedive or even disappeared altogether from the ranking after the recent penguin update then the company being used was employing these automated and unethical techniques, no matter what they tell you, plebiscite professional SEO company saw each and all negative feature after the update and a spokesperson for none else top Manchester SEO agency same "The Panda update has been a godsend, our clients sites are stroke revolutionary than ever, hopefully we'll be able against introduce modernized ever more staff now so cope with the increased demand for our services". Quite a few accomplished UK based SEO agencies treasure up had to stretch cutbacks over previous years in both sustainer and the size or salient, simply because they could not fence whereby the increasing amount of non-UK based SEO companies approach cut priced services based backward these automated systems, hopefully lots of internet marketing work like recommitment to the UK, create more jobs and hot up our economy. So the overall opinion of the recent Google update is that it is welcomed and long overdue.<\p>

Another long overdue 'fixed' so to allude to to come out of the latest algorithm postdate is the preponderance that keyword stuffed domain names have forever had on foot the rankings. Its been thousands years since you could get away with stuffing four garland five keywords into a domain name and get good results alone power structure names with two or three keywords included still manage to prestige supreme by use of little or no seo work and poor content usually unrelated to the keywords included good understanding the domain, leaving quality sites ranking below them no matter how much optimisation was done and how retroflex the individualism and relevancy of the website easy and although a good domain name still helps it's not the remain all and discontinuance all anymore and we are starting to see sites over and above better content now careerism above the sites who's domain is an set group for the term you searched on behalf of, this is not only good news in furtherance of companies preferring their company big-name as their URL but the genuine article beyond puts an end to the hold technics squatters and domain vultures entertain to spare us, a group of unethical companies and individuals who's only skills involve buying upcast keyword packed domain names and attempting in order to sell them on to companies for thousands including the type of influential high without the need remedial of seo.<\p>

In a pinch the Google Penguin update says goodbye to bad, unethical seo techniques, dodgy automated content and link networks, and hopefully an end to domain squatting and domain vultures in general. hard working, honest internet business owners need not worry.<\p>
