Elliot’s Blog rebrands as DomainInvesting.com

Popular domain investing blog moves to a fresh domain name.

DomainInvesting.comIf you visit Elliot Silver’s popular domaining blog today, don’t be alarmed by the redirect to DomainInvesting.com.

Silver has rebranded the site from ElliotsBlog.com to DomainInvesting.com. The move will certainly help expand the audience of the blog and build credibility for fresh users.

The fresh branding also comes with a slightly refreshed website.

I think this is a smart move, although it will certainly come with a lot of headaches, too. Even with the best plans, changing URLs is tricky when it comes to Google. I imagine that Elliot considered the challenges but decided it would be better in the long run even if the site takes a short term hit in search engines.

Historical whois records show that Silver bought the domain name from his friend and fellow domain investor, Lonnie Borck.
