The latest addition to my slowly growing geo network is SheffieldWide.com. At the moment it is little more than a one page site, but I plan to develop it into a fully fledged minisite in the coming months.
I’m slowly forming a geo network of sites targetting major English cities. ManchesterWide.com was the first. Over the last few months sites for Birmingham and Leeds have been added to the network. Bristol, Newcastle, Liverpool and Nottingham will follow in due course.
In addition, I added Manchester Breaks to the network some time ago.
Except for my Manchester site, they are all basically pages that need to be made into robust sites.
I think a mistake that many geonetwork developers make is to fail fully build out their network before moving on to the next site. There are lots of reasons why this is a good strategy. However, I believe the money is in development, so I want to build out the existing nine sites before moving on to the next ones.
The revenue goal I have set for myself is $1 per day, per site. Is this achievable? The way I look at it, if a $1 a day is achievable, so is $5 and $10. How easy that is, and whether I think its worth the effort, is something I will discuss in future posts.

I am back after a blogging break.
The break was beneficial to me as it led to me thinking in a lot of detail about how to take my domaining activites to the next level.
Although I have not been posting to Domaining.org.uk I have been developing my other sites. I have also been developing a new business strategy taking into account the new, more challenging economic conditions. By working a little less intensely compared with a few months ago I have decided on a few changes that will,in the long run be beneficial.
As a result of my efforts since Jan 2009, ManchesterWide.com, my ‘flagship’ geo website is showing encouraging signs of life, even though it is not, as yet, a financial success. However, with a lot more hard work I am hoping that will turn that corner.
I have been adding to my domain name portfolio while at the same time disposing of those domains that will not generate the results I’m looking for.
I have plans to develop Nameable.co.uk as my core site which will list my domains for sale and link to my developed sites and mini-sites. There is also a possibility that I will use it as a blogging base around naming strategies, running SME businesses and web 2.0 – sounds impressive!
Despite my objections to mini-sites I have been developing many of my own. They do well from type in traffic and on exact match searches via the search engines.
I have domain names for in the region of 250 different viable sites. Although my portfolio amounts to in excess of 400 domains there are duplicates like ManchesterWide.com/ .co.uk and variants like recreationvehicle.co.uk/recreationvehicles.co.uk.
My blogging break has allowed me to think about how I will take my ‘project’ to the next level. Domainers (even those without a blog that they update frequently) should think about the benefits of a (blogging) break. A break from domaining offers domainers an opportunity to look differently at their activities and to think about how they might to take themselves to the next level.
