All of the good blogger addresses are taken

I have had a Blogger account for a few years now and during this time I have started a number of blogs. In case you were wondering, not many of these have been successful. Back to the point, when creating these blogs, I usually just stick with a subdomain because I don't even know if the site will be successful or not. I will usually come up with the title of the site first, and then choose a subdomain that relates to the title. About five years ago, when I created my first Blogger blog, I didn't have any problem getting the subdomain that I want. Now, everything has changed. This past year, every single time that I have wanted to create a new website or blog, I have had to go through numerous subdomains to find one that is actually available. As you might imagine, this is incredibly frustrating for me and I am assuming that the same is true for other people. When I decided to go check some of these subdomains that were already registered, it turned out that they had been registered but most of them weren't even being used. This frustrates me even more. It turns out that people just register these subdomains so that other people won't be able to, which in my opinion is incredibly stupid. These people probably have motives in doing this, but this creates many problems for the people who actually need and plan to use these subdomains.

Of course, the good thing about regular domains is that you actually have to pay to register them, so people don't just register any good domain name that they can think of for no reason other than to limit the ability of other people to register that domain. Of course, people still do this, but not as much because not many people have excess money to use simply for purchasing domain names that will likely not be used for anything. I am sure that you have come across this occurrence: you go to a domain name and all that is there is ads. These domain names are usually purchased by a person for cheap, and that person intends to sell the domain for a more expensive amount later on. While this person is waiting for the domain to sell, they will usually put ads on the domain in an attempt to create some revenue. This usually doesn't work.

Anyway, going back to Blogger, I just wanted to say that most of the good Blogger subdomains have been taken, and they aren't even being used. This is incredibly frustrating for people who actually want to use these domains for real blogs, and I believe that Blogger should do something about this. There should be some method of seeing which blogs are completely inactive, and those subdomains should be deactivated and deregistered so that people who actually want and will use them are able to do so. I hope that someone from Blogger reads this and decides to implement something like it. I can see problems that could arise from this, though. There would be many false detections and I am sure that some legal issues would also arise. With this article, I just wanted to raise awareness for this issue.
