Cost

Today's domain boom is being fueled primarily by the advertising dollars spent on traffic provided by domain owners

Spend that amount to buy a good domain. So, if you spend $500 a month in advertising, get yourself a $500 domain name. If your advertising budget for one month is $10,000, there really is no reason that you shouldn't own and be using a great domain name. MANY great domain names can be purchased for under $10,000.

 

Competition
