Suprised by the number of domains gone

Been looking for some partenr sites

[bwnbwn]

In the evening I search for partner sites in my nitch and forund a site that had quite a few links. I went through them most I reconized from being in this nitch for 7-8 years and was suprised at all the ones that have quit or let there domain name expire.

I know for everyone that goes down 2 come up but folks running and maintaining an ecommerce site is a tough business and from the % of the sites I use to view as competition now gone I feel blessed to be still in business.

nitch? --> niche :)

There's a huge number of online businesses failing. There's always a lot, but the numbers are a bit crazy at the moment.

It is unfortunate but it also means that there are a lot of good aged domain names available to buy that have pr, backlinks, etc.
