...and what percentage of those domains have been developed?
I must admit that I have a very low rate of conversion when it comes to developing domains I buy (15 or so registered/only 1 developed) . I get a good idea, find a good domain name and register it. If I'm lucky, I'll get some of the initial groundwork done (design sketches, maybe a development site, etc), but most times this is as far as I get time for...
What about everyone else?















Hundreds
For years I would have an idea, buy all the variations of the domain ... and do nothing with it. Last year I had lots of websites but I decided after a horrific server disaster that left the sites offline with no backups (d'oh!) I would turn my back on affiliate stuff so even fewer are developed now than before. I always buy .co.uk/.com/.org/.net so the list appears bigger than the number of actual sites though.
a dozen-plus
About 15 domains, with 10 in development and plans for most of the rest. I dumped another dozen a few years ago. I refrained from purchasing more last year because my brother (who manages my domain accounts for me) reminded me that I had a terrible habit of starting dozens of projects and never following through.
Which of course is the primary reason why I have low traffic in general: no focus on a single domain to nurture it before I go on to the next project. And which is why I'll probably cull my list down to a manageable few. Yeah, right. Ha ha :)
50 domains!
I have around 50 domains. Too many ideas and not enough time to focus on them. So, my plan is to develop 1 really good blog and replicate the experience to following through to a few other ideas I have.
Chris G speaks about focussing or failing and that's so true. If I can focus on the 1 decent idea and build upon that then I think discipline and confidence will flow into the next idea in line.
Well, that's the theory anyway ;-)
I own 10 domains as of now
I own 10 domains as of now and control a few more of friends and clients.
Am planning to add a few more in the new future.
11 and counting
I currently have 11 domains and have active projects on 5 of them right now.
2
Just two...
2 as well
I own just two, purchased during one of Yahoo!'s $1.99 registration sales. They're just variations on the same name (present tense vs past tense) and point to the same site (my blog).
prob 50
I bought many domains years ago (like htmlcenter.net, org, etc.) and some others and just never seem to want to let them expire.
Sometimes when I renew I wonder why but I still seem to click the renew button everytime.
7
and develope +3. Besides I very into seo/web2.0/socialising/rss and have no time to design new sites. I run recently two seo-projects.
A few..
17, with 15 of them running currently but they are always under constant development.
Couple Dozen
About half are developed, the rest await time and enthusiasm.
12
I have 12 domains, with all but 1 having active projects on them....
Just one...
But I'm getting another one :)
A dozen
I have 8 domains and if including sub-domains, 12 at last count, all updated regularly, some more than others. I am using Wordpress. And oh, don't let the mom in my name fools ya! :)
I have hundreds, (well 15
I have hundreds, (well 15 actually!), all active and regularly updated.
i usually find that I spend tons of time on one domain, get bored, then come up with loads of ideas for another one, work on that til I get bored then move on etc.
Keeps the ideas fresh as each project is different.
Also i find that if a certain project is making a lot of money one week I tend to steer all my effort towards that project.
Six domains, only one active
And the domain name I want to buy will expire soon, so I have to keep my eyes open and see if I can get it!
Three
I have three, but only two are developed.
