On first read, I thought I was near astute. But then I noticed the last paragraph for the Aloof: "The aloof can be quite cagey though, and forward thinking, registering domains in developing segments well before the active community covers the market." You nailed it here...I think this is a key strategy for beginning domainers -- something that really enables us to outperform. Downside - it requires a lot of work. A post I put up today about <a href="http://domainbinge.com/archives/featured/getting-started-in-domaining-five-principles-guiding-my-early-efforts/" rel="nofollow">strategies for beginner domainers</a> touches on this.

You nailed it here…I think this is a key strategy for beginning domainers — something that really enables us to outperform. Downside - it requires a lot of work.

I think they are extremely accurate. I could totally relate to the first two domainer types! Even though I registered my first domains back in 1998, I consider myself to have been what you term an "aloof domainer" up to about 2 months ago when I finally invested more time and money in the domain business and hence now consider myself to be an "apprehensive domainer"... Thank God I took the "big step". Just as your describe in your categories, I always knew the potetial of the domain name market from the start but I let other opportunities and responsibilities take a front seat. I hope to graduate to an Astute domainer and finally an Almighty domainer soon! Thanks again, Sumbini First of all, I’d like to congratute you on your interpretation of your 4 types of domainers.

Maybe the terms are interchangable, but I find am able to make some progress while I am learning, so either term can apply to me. mp/m Astute or Apprentice?
