I dreamed up all the possibilities and directions I would take it. I was so excited and then boom the dream was dead. I thought the only hope I had left was that maybe I could capitalize on it and score some traffic by other people mis-spelling the same phrase.....Nope turns out the proper domain was registered as a premium parked domain. So nuts to that. How are you adjusting to the 1 post per day on here? I'd image your upcoming post queue is pretty long by now :) I did the same thing as you Garry.

There was one night where I was just hitting the GoDaddy form like crazy, just looking for some names to add to my list and then I came upon one that was HOT... and I was like "NO FREAKING WAY!!!!!" This domain name is going to save the day... I am going to be SO FREAKING RICH!!!! So, happily I ordered the domain name... and went to bed feeling AWESOME!!! Life was perfect... again, I was going to be rich!!! So... that next morning, I was waking up and I had already dreamed about all my plans on this domain name. I already had everything planned out in my mind and I was really to start building. I had the DNS pointed to my server and went to configure my server and all was great.... went to have lunch and tend to a few other things. As you know it can take a few hours to get the domain name pointed to your server. So, after lunch I checked to see if the domain name was live (nothing yet). A few hours later... still not live... I called GoDaddy.com to see if they could speed things up. They ran a test and said the domain name was pointing fine, but it didn't appear to be pointing to my server correctly. "You're nuts... I set this up myself. This is on my own server too... I know what the hell I am doing!" They said give it a few hours... A few hours later... my domain name still isn't LIVE!!! WHY???? I am going to be RICH!!! Finally later that evening after totally destroying Apache and demolishing my server thinking that there was something wrong, I finally realized that I wasn't going to be rich and that I also made a ton of work for myself with messing up my server all because I.... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Misspelled the domain name that I ordered. Life sucks and then you die, unless you can spell and order the right freaking domain name!! LOL!!!!! :) I can laugh about it now... but OMG I was so freaking PISSED OFF when I realized I misspelled that domain name. Again, I was going to be rich!!! Ha Ha!

Not because you screwed up, but because I'm not the only one anymore. I did that when I registered my very first domain name. I was so excited that I just typed in the name I wanted and hit the button. Imagine my surprise when it dawned on me that I missed 2 letters in the middle. Yes, it is a very valuable lesson to learn. I'm just thrilled that I'm not the only person to have done that. LOLOLOL LOL, that’s funny. Not because you screwed up, but because I’m not the only one anymore.

Not very SEO friendly but a great phrase. Well apparently I suck at spelling and I mis-spelled a word when I submitted it. That site is dead and I won't be renewing it. Oh well it only cost me $5.99 not a bad price for a very valuable lesson. (I can laugh about it now, but I was pissed at myself) P.S I have stumbled this post as my 500th stumble and I used a spell checker. :) Hey Garry,
