izit.com Celebrates it’s 10th Anniversary

I bought the izit.com domain name on June 30th, 1998 so it has passed the 10 year milestone.

Over the years there have been a few offers made for the name and a slew of requests for an asking price. But, I love the name as much as I did when I acquired it in 1998. It’s ideal for either an IT company or a company involved in the internet or “dot com” business. Or it could be used for an Ask Jeeves type of site titled “What Iz It?” or similar (replace “What” with “Who, Where, When, How” and it works. The beauty is that the name is so short and memorable that far less branding and advertising would be required then for a more difficult domain name.

I consider it one of the best brand name domains I own and one of the better ones available anywhere related to the internet. Unfortunately I didn’t know anything about SEO so the domain sat under wraps for many years until a couple of years ago when I launched what I call a “placeholder site” for the domain. This helps improve it’s SEO strength as the search engines place more value on older sites and domains.

If you’re interested in making an offer to buy izit.com please feel free as I will consider selling at the right price. But, it had better be a solid offer as I still think it would be a tremendous asset for a business in need of a strong brand name with matching dot com domain.
