A reader tips us off to 2,310 job-related domain names soon-to-be put up for sale in one block purchase:

On or around Nov. 1, the most valuable portfolio of job search-related domains that has ever been sold will be put on the auction block. There are more than 2,300 of them, and given the fact that more and more people are understanding the value of domain names now, there’s a very good chance that this will be the most valuable block that will ever sell as a single unit. Either way, this is going to be highly newsworthy—both in the recruiting space and in the domaining space.

Most of them are pretty obscure, but there are a few winners in the bunch. ParamedicJobs.com and DallasNursingJobs.com, for example, would have some value in the right hands.

If you’re interested in getting in on the action, contact Zane Tarence with Founders Investment Banking, LLC at ztarence[at]foundersib.com or 205-949-2043. I am not associated with this sale or know the informant, so I recommend you proceed with caution.

For my own 2 cents, extreme domaining is a little out of hand. Strong brands aren’t built setting up, redirecting or simply owning a plethora of URLs. The SEO argument is pretty weak as well. Unless you have an exact-match domain, search engines are progressively giving less weight to this strategy. And my guess is the exact-match thing won’t last forever either.

Don’t get me wrong. Owning something like Jobs.com or Cars.com or Houses.com has incredible value on a lot of different levels. Few such domains are obtainable anymore, of course, and nothing in the highlighted sale reside in this category.

So, maybe I’m just stupid about it, or maybe type-in traffic is all that (for now, anyway), but I’d recommend saving your money and focusing your energies on building-up fewer sites, as opposed to more.
