Over the last week I sold off a few domains. These were sites that weren’t a great success. If I kept them I’m pretty sure they would have earned more than their registration fees every year if I just left them alone. But why would I keep a site that makes $15 a year and costs $10 a year to keep? It’s only $5 and it’s just noth worth it to keep checking stats every year and maintain the hosting and ads on the site.
So I decided to sell them - to thin the herd. I didn’t want to have a group of sites that did well, and another group that didn’t do well.Now, at least mentally, my network of sites are stronger because I’ve cut off the dying weeds growing on them and holding the rest back. It’s just a theory, but thinning the herd makes the remaining herd stronger.

Hey Edwin - Mind if I ask where you ended up selling your domains? How’d you do on the sale? Thanks. I’m thinking of unloading a couple myself.
