When I was asked last month to be apart of the “Buying Sites For SEO” panel on June 3rd at the SMX Advanced panel I instantly replied yes! This was a subject I really wanted to speak on and had a TON of first hand experience in purchasing thousands of expired domains (not parked, the ones that truly were in limbo) over the last 4 years. I also wanted to talk about how its changed … a lot… anyway…
Then as time has slipped by and my wife has gotten closer to her due date and made it very clear to me that she wants me closer to me as we expect our 2nd child I have had to come back to reality and cancel on the speaking engagement. I was pretty bummed. Its the first time I had canceled on a speaking engagement ever.
BUT then the panels moderator Stephan Spencer, who knew how excited I was to be apart of this, emailed me and said I could do a video portion of what I was going to present and that seemed like a plan! So I wont be there in person but I will have a short video in my stead!
The panel is stacked with other experts with tons of experience in the field.
Should be very educational for those looking to buy domains for there SEO value.

Is this video available publicly? I’d love to watch it.

Long term this seems to be the best solution, if I must say so myself. Conventional, traditional SEO seems to be heading for extinction.

Gas prices are a universal challenge. As the cost of bandwith comes down the price of fuel rises. I’gd rather work from home and save the fuel, myslef.

I agree!

The Shoe seems to indicate that he actually is the antithesis of SEO….
June 8, 2008 at 8:13 am
And how many do you “own”?
June 8, 2008 at 8:13 am
Wow! Due date! When are you expecting?
June 6, 2008 at 2:49 pm
Just saw the video. It was thought provoking. Loved the strategic change of focus from SEO to Branding.
June 4, 2008 at 7:36 am
I agree, share it afterwards if you can
June 2, 2008 at 1:44 pm
will we see your video too if this is possible that will be great. and congratulations for your second kid.

There’s no doubt that this new economy (Internet / Tech) is making it easier to be flexible. It won’t be long before I start working from home more days anyway as gas prices rise.

I 100% agree, good thinking Web Marketeer.
June 2, 2008 at 6:44 am
Sean, that’s a great question, how many domains do you “own”
June 2, 2008 at 12:47 am
That must rate as the ultimate juggling act. If you’re self-employed, however it is a bit easier to plan one’s time around spending some quality moments with the family. My one mate makes a point of fetching his girls from school and having lunch with them every day, something that would’ve proved nigh impossible if he was working for a boss.

Shoe – I had my first child six months ago – my wife actually had him but you know what I mean – and life has been a roller coaster. I would like to see a post on how to raise a family while still being managing your businesses.
June 1, 2008 at 9:50 am
Will the video be made available afterwards?
June 1, 2008 at 9:28 am
I am waiting for the video, as you post them frequently !
June 1, 2008 at 8:56 am
I think this would be very interesting to watch!
June 1, 2008 at 4:11 am
Jeremy, methinks that we all concur that you SEOriously need to post this video for consumption by your avid fan base. Please man!
June 1, 2008 at 3:41 am
That’s good timing if you can share the video. I was just talking to this guy was going to pay $5000 for a web site that someone just registered two months ago so he really needs some help otherwise he’s going to spend all the money he’s supposed to be saving for college because he thinks he can make money on this really stupid website. Can’t wait to hear what you have to say about making money on crappy domain names.
June 1, 2008 at 1:28 am
I would like to know that too..
You buying expired domain ?
June 1, 2008 at 1:17 am
Hey jeremy, i also wish to watch its video, that will be a nice share!
May 31, 2008 at 11:04 pm
kudos on your 2nd child!!!! Picking your next child’s birth over a speaking engagement shows you have your ducks in a row. The video presentation is just icing on the cake!!!
Best Wishes

Kudos on your 2nd child. Children should always be a higher priority than any speaking engagement. Submitting your thoughts and wisdom via video is great. It is as close as anyone can get to having their cake and eating it too.
Again, congrats and best wishes for your next child!!!!

I always knew shoe was a SEO expert. This would be an interesting talk to see what is going on now and how people feel about domain names for seo.
May 31, 2008 at 7:56 pm
Hey, a video may even be better if they have you on a huge screen. It’ll be bigger than life, well, except that little life you’re bringing into this world. Congrats

I’m looking forward to this presentation at SMX. Curious to know how much things have changed in buying expired domains. Bought a few today, but not for seo purposes.
