New Google Base offers Venue for Selling Domain Names

Wednesday, November 16, 2005 at 9:24 am By: Mark

Much anticipated Google Base went live today. Essentially, it is a free, publicly searchable database to which you can add nearly any item you wish. The official Google Blog will give you an introduction to it.

I got on this morning and gave it a shot. It’s incredibly easy to use. I entered “items” for most categories of domain name I have. And, I also added into the Articles category our most popular article, Domain Name Mispronouncings.

You can see one of my listings by searching Google Base (not Google web) for “Music Related Domain Names.” If you click on the title link, you’ll be taken to my music-related domain names web page. I was allowed to enter a description, in which I entered all the domain names in the category, but only the first 150 or so words actually show up in the listing and there is no way to click to read it all. So, make sure that the web page you linked to the item has everything you need on it.

By they way, I have some “Base” domain names on my Technology page. And no, Base is not trademarked by Google.

As people learn more about using Google Base for domain names, please post your comments here.
