A quick hello from Melbourne, i've only really been serious in this field in the last 12-18 months and mostly focus on SEO. I have a number of friends involved heavily in domains and finally decided to take the plunge.

I have bought a number of expired domains but had some reasonable success with fresh/greenfields projects. I've bought and registered some fairly useless domains as part of the learning curve but found some gems in the rough.

I work to build out all my domains as fast as I can and I haven't found much value in parking them.

This year we go serious about growing the local search community via our SEO Meetups group and welcome domainers, web devs and consultants. It happens first thursday of the month so come along and say hello.

Welcome, and good to have another Melburnian onboard. If we took a pole of locations of dntrade members I think Melbourne would be a clear winner.

I thought you were in Brisbane David,
am I going crazy?

Oh and welcome
