That’s right, NickRamsay.com is unavailable because I bought it!
I have no idea why I didn’t register the domain name earlier, but this time I couldn’t let the opportunity pass me by. If you remember from my post Nick Ramsay vs Nick Ramsay, I’m trying to rank higher for my own name in Google’s search results than the other Nick Ramsay does. This is one step towards that goal.
Right now, I’ve got the domain pointing to this blog, so if you try to visit NickRamsay.com, you’ll end up back here. Perhaps in the future, particularly if I start to teach English online, it will come in very handy. In the meantime, if you forget the name of this blog, just type in NickRamsay.com!
How about you? Do you have a blog or website? Is your name in the domain name? Leave a comment!Â
Afterthought: One advantage of having your name as your domain is you can tell people the name of your blog, and they’re more likely to remember it. Another advantage is when you have the same name as a politician and people type in his name as the domain name, only to land here! 👿
If you like, you can find me on Twitter at @nick_ramsay. I'd love to hear from you!
Umm … I’m really surprised you didn’t do that earlier. I wanted to buy my name, but the .com and .net have been taken for years. Luckily, now that I’m in Japan and have a valid alien card, I can buy a .jp!
Do you have any future plans with your new domain? May a Nick Ramsay for Prefectural Governor? 😛
I might use it if I set up an online English school, but another good idea would be to use it for my email, which is just an idea, so spammers back off!
Does the “other” Nick Ramsay know about this contest? lol
Shhh, don’t go and tell him!
Congratulations net buddy 4 life. I’m happy that you can join this exclusive club that I’m in by owning your own domain name, based ummm ahhh your name!
Thanks Mike. I guess this puts me up there with likes of Steve Pavlina, John Chow, and Michael McKinlay! 😉
