"How do you waste money by spending less money?"

Because in just the last 2 years, more competition from peopel like godaddy has forced the prices of renewal way, way down.

There is no telling what is going to happen to domain prices in the next 2 years.

So, you may be wasting money because what costs $6 today may be $3 soon. For one domain, whatever. But for lots of domains, that adds up.

Anyway, the real object of this discussion was, does the number of years you renew matter to google, and for that, from my experience, the answer is no. From there, I was just trying to see why you would want to extend for long periods of time, and I can see no obvious organized ; ) reason.

(And no, I have nothing to do with godaddy. ; ) I've got a hundred + domains stored there, that's it. I keep referring to godaddy because off the top of my head, I can't think of any of the others that are in the same sector, but there are others equally inexpensive now... ; ) )
