I recently went on a buying spree on previously owned domains and found some with decent pageranks and backlinks. I’m *not* about to divulge these domains just yet! What’s funny is that one of the domains I bought used to be owned by someone pretty well-known on the Internet. I only found about it *after* the purchase. Now I feel kinda silly. Well, technically it’s mine now. I’m thinking of converting it to a political blog but with a more global scope. We’ll see.

\nIf you’re into buying domains, a great place to look are web directories such as DMOZ and Yahoo! For Philippine domains, check out Domains.ph<\/a>. Lots of expiring domains there because it’s kind of expensive to renew them ($70 for 2 yrs.) Which brings up the valid question: How many years ago was it when the going rate for a domain was $70? Four, five years ago? They don’t even allow one-year registrations! It’s like our local domain registrar got frozen in a glacier or something. Anyway, I hope that they’ll bring down their rates to stay competitive and attract new registrations.
