Every morning, as early as I am awake, I look through domain name expiry lists to see what is coming up for auction. I’ll spend anywhere from 30 minutes to a couple of hours reading these lists of names in my Dropping email and on ExpiredDomains.net to identify acquisition targets.
Each day, there are domain names in these lists that are made up of terms or words that, to put mildly, are inappropriate for kids to read. Some of these domain names make me think, “who the heck would ever even think about registering that domain name!?” Some of the domain names I see crack me up, but their meanings would be difficult to explain to a child.
I made a rookie mistake the other day. I was reading through my Dropping.pro email while my son was having a quick breakfast before school. I didn’t notice, but he turned his attention to my laptop. One adult-related domain name caught his attention, and he announced it to my wife and me.
Rookie mistake!
Fortunately, it was more of a humorous term involving anatomy, but it was a good reminder that I should not look through my expired domain name lists near my kids!
