LwEEs.com

Some domain names never catch up, often the original idea is replaced by some other idea or by a newer, greatest domain name. In my case, I originally started blogging using LuMenCreativeGroup.com, after sometime of using it I was decided to get a shorter domain name, and I did. I found LwEEs.com, and the other family of domains like LwEEs.net and LwEEs.info, giving me the shortness I wanted in a domain name and the exclusivity of a domain name that describes me (my name is Luis) and that is easy to remember.

Giving up the domain was not an easy decision, after all it was just a small amount of money what I needed to keep it in my portfolio, but I wasn’t using it anymore. I did something that I think was the smart way to do, since the domain had a WordPress installation on it, I decided to install a plugin named “Redirection” on it. One of the great functions of this great plugin is that it gives you a detail report of what pages still have some traffic on your website.

I analyzed the data and only pages on the blog section of the site had links to other pages on my site. This gave me the security I needed to feel sure about deleting the whole site and giving up the domain name. I could have try to sell it, but really, selling is not one of my strongest points, also with such a long domain name, who would have really wanted it. I have never try to sell a site before, how is this done? If you have ever sold a site I would like to hear from you, leave a comment on this post to discuss with the community.
