Problem: You have the perfect name for your company’s Web site, but some jerk bought it years ago. The site is dead and not even being used. When will the domain registry end? Then how can you get it before anyone else?

Solution: Register with SnapNames. They have a lock on all site names as their registries expire. Site names come in, then SnapNames checks to see if any of its clients have back ordered the name. If not, SnapNames releases the name to the general public. Plus, you can search by keywords for site names that are becoming available soon. Placing a back order for a name is free, and it’s only $60 to buy it once it’s available.

Problem: Do you have a bunch of web sites you’ve registered with nothing for them to do? Or have you registered your site with its launch date months away? Or maybe you registered misspellings or similar site names to protect your brand--then what do you do with them?

Solution: You can “park” your site with Sedo. Sedo will fill the pages with ad content and redirect the user to their site, all for no charge. If you have a parked site that gets a lot of traffic, you could pocket a few hundred bucks a year.
