“Which domain to buy” is the first hurdle that anyone faces when he/she starts blogging. Most of the beginners think of their own domain name and then register it. The newly registered domain will ovbiously have zero pagerank. It would need more than some 300 backlinks and a very good organic content to attain a higher pagerank of two or three. Moreover the person has to wait for the next google pagerank updates which would take three or more months. This means you can not start earning in the first three months as most of the earning opportunities are available only to higher pagerank sites.
To avoid such wastage of time, you can start by registering an expired higher pagerank site. There are many sites through which you can search for expired higher pagerank sites. Some of the sites that I recommend are drophunt.com, vohio.com, owndrop.com etc.
And for registering a site, namecheap.com is the best site. The registering fee comes at $8.99. If you add namecheap coupon you will get a rebate of $1. The coupon for october 07 is “rocktober”.
