At the same time most of the domain buyers search for domain names for sale under ten dollars, even the domain registration costs up to ten dollars per year, some times they snap some domains from domain seller who have lost hopes and unable to wait for few more years / lost his interest in domaining and wish to get rid of this business in any way even if he get a part of their registration fee with in this year they will transfer it to you, such a thing happens at most of the forums. most of such domains are sold only to optimize their portfolio's what i mean is they will sell domains which they feel that won't sell for higher bucks.

How do I find a money making domain name? How do I predict domain traffic before I buy a domain name ?

2008-10-10T11:46:00.000-07:00

Parking program owners say Domain sellers have submitted 1000’s of domain names and many of them earn even hundreds and thousands of dollars from our parking program by parking their high traffic domain names with out selling their domains. They just sit back and watch their parking revenue. They will make a statement like this, even the world top parking companies may have up to 10 domain names maximum, which earns more than 100 dollars per month. Even my own portfolio doesn’t reaches 1 $ per for a domain name in average.

More domain owners have made single page websites with ADSENSE ads and little content, a video, a widget ETC. They got frustrated with parking their domains.

No one will bring traffic for your domain, if you have a domain with traffic they eat up to 80% and throw 20% to you this is real. You have to work to bring traffic for that. If you ask a domain portfolio owner to give the traffic stats and revenue data for his portfolio, he will simply refuse.

Don’t buy domains on the belief of traffic stats, check other metrics listed below.
(If you are not able to accept with my article check with your friends, known domain sellers as well as domain buyer that how far it is true)

Domain sellers will try to sell domains at great prices. We only have to check from our end the real value of the domain name by checking

The traffic stats
The revenue data
Max PPC value of the keyword
Keyword competition at ADWORDS (No of bidders)
Keyword search results from Overture, Word tracker, 7search and search123.

From this analysis you can make an approximate prediction or guess on the domain value, the possible organic traffic etc. but you can’t able to judge the revenue potential. The revenue of the domain can be increased by proper usage of the domain name. You can become an educated buyer and scientifically determine the domain worth

If some one asks me what your domain traffic is, I will say it is xxxxx is it real, believable, this only happens at real market. Some domain sellers will increase the traffic by means some black hat techniques like auto surf, manual surf, paid traffic, link spam at social groups and friends developing sites. So don’t buy domains purely on traffic stats.

Some people believe that if a tracker is installed on web pages it will give clear stats. Such counters will give single stage traffic data. (Traffic entry data, original source can’t de detected)
If you see parking stats at few parking site, it will predict the quantity of type in traffic. Even very good undeveloped domains receive up to 20 unique visitors only per month. This is the real stats. But you can develop it. It is just a guide line to predict traffic. You have to analyze in this fashion, i.e.; If you convert this traffic in to sale, with each of profits equal to 5000 $ per visitor, how terrific it is.

Alexa Stats

If you check for ALEXA stats. for a parked domain. It will be nice if it shows below 1 million. But there so many black hat techniques to show good stats. If domain is parked it will have an alexa stats you can check it.

Overture

Overture was considered to be the nice tool to find keyword search, but now a days the results are quite clumsy. There is much difference between OVT data and real search traffic. It shows same traffic if you interchange the keywords
EG apple fruit = fruit apple, but in some cases you can’t even find out which is correct
EG London flights = flights London, (Such a thing will be useless)
Few confusion like spray varnish and varnish spray, spray lacquer and lacquer spray, also occur. Such can be easily found out if you use trillion tool bar, 7search ETC

Link Popularity.

If you acquire a domain name, which has been a developed website with lot of links from other websites, blogs, forums, web directories, article directories, news groups, social media sites, then there will be a residual traffic because of such links. There are so many SEO tools available to check link popularity. We have to check for both the quality and quantity of incoming links. If the links are from news articles, it will vanish with in a few days. Similarly links from irrelevant sites will consume unnecessary band width with out any business. Even the listing at paid directories like yahoo will last for a year only. Links with longevity and niche will be valuable Eg link from Dmoz.org etc. Such listings will supply a steady traffic for several years. Single link from major website worth more compared to several links from smaller websites

Search Engine Listed pages.

This is applicable only for websites and not for a domain name. This shows how many times your website appears for different keywords and key phrases on major search engine result pages. The competition will be high for short commercial words and will be very low for long phrases. You can even catch unrelated non-commercial keyword on search engine result pages, if you write a small description of few 100 words on your site about that keyword.

For Eg. If I have a domain broker site, then i have to try to get listed on pages like
Domain brokers, domain brokering, domain broking, best domain broker, top domain broker, name broker, domain seller, sell domains, domain sale, buy sell domain ETC.

More and more pages your links present, more and more search engine traffic you get. But the traffic from search engines will have a high fluctuation.

Keyword Frequency

If you acquire a domain name with higher frequency on major search engines “More than a million” you can sell your domains for good prices. But if you have low frequency of less than 5000 presence on major search engines it is very easy to capture that SERP page. Highly brand able.

PPC value of your domain keyword

If the keyword present in your domain has a higher bid value at GOOGLE _ ADWORDS then you can fetch a high price for your domain. Each and every time the advertiser pays to have a link on that SERP page for a few number of clicks @ up to 20 $ per click. If he acquires that domain name and optimize for that keyword, it is easy for him to catch that SERP page and it is further more not at all required to pay for ADWORDS to get traffic for that keyword. Domain of renewal is more than enough.

Bidder competition at PPC

If bidder competition is high, then PPC value automatically increases and there are more chances that your domain sells at higher price. More PPC advertisers think to acquire your domain to save advertisement cost

Paid traffic

Some domain sellers pay for traffic until they sell their domain for good prices by making a guarantee on domain traffic. The traffic will very soon disappear as you acquire that domain. So only I repeat you the same statement, not buy domains on pure traffic stats only.

Traffic from expired domain.

Now these days it has become very difficult to find a never registered domain name. Even though you get good traffic from these expired domains. You have to check the domain name very carefully and the past usage of that domain name from archive.org . Even the experienced domainers make mistakes in such domain acquisitions. This traffic gradually decreases with time but will be available even for few years. You also have to check whether the traffic is useful for you else it is a waste of your band width.

Typo Domains and Misspelled domains

Typos and misspelled domains will give you an appreciable amount of traffic to your website. You can acquire such domains and redirect them to your main site. There are several SEO tools available to find domain typos and misspelled variations. You can acquire such domains if they get high traffic volumes, then only it is profitable. It is best if you register them and not to buy at aftermarket prices. You can also check for abbreviations and acronyms, if available register them

Funny Domains

Take care, there are few domains which become funny when two or more keywords join together, eg lacquerspray ( lacquer spray becomes funny as lacquers pray) some more good domains sound s as adult domains because of this funny nature. Spell your domain several times to avoid such mistakes.

Why should I buy a premium domain name?

2008-10-09T20:22:00.000-07:00

High quality domains (or) Great domains which have all premium qualities like shortness, memorable, sexy, generic, brand able, get organic traffic, good keyword position on search engine, high frequency on major search engines, extension ETC.

Although the qualities of premium domains are very nice, such domains are not still available to register, as they are registered long years back and still renewed continuously to sell for great prices at after markets. Hence the prices of premium domains are very expensive. The individuals as well as companies are ready to pay even in millions to acquire premium domain names. Few advantages in premium domain investment includes

Good Return on Investment

Premium domain name is an online property, an asset and you can invest and resell it for multiple times. It is considered to be the best time to purchase domains, as it will have a good demand in future. So it is a smart and wise decision to invest in domains for your business.

Get higher conversion rate

Some domain brokers say that Premium domains are two characters, three characters and generic one word .com domains only then what do you think about Creditcards.com, Cellphones.com these two word generic phrases have high branding compared to the keyword present in them. Every thing depends on domain. Such domain name adds prestige and credibility. Either a one word or two word domain. Users are likely to make repeated business with website with premium quality web addresses

Eg. Shoes.com is premium compared discountshoes4u.co.za.

Successful internet companies already know very well that acquiring a premium domain will be the best investment for branding E.g. Cars.com, loans.com, books.com

Search Engine Ranking and credits

Premium domains are keyword domains. If your domains contain keywords, then there are more chances to gains a top position on search engine result pages (SERP). You can have a glimpse on search engine pages of major search engines.

Direct navigational Type in traffic.

Apart from the traffic from search engines a set of people will type directly the domain name in their browser; this is called as direct navigational type in traffic. Premium domain will get around 20% of the available web traffic. This traffic will fetch up to 1000’s of unique visitors to your website. This traffic has a high conversion ratio compared to other sorts of traffic like search engine marketing ETC.

Domain Name Investment Guide.

2008-10-08T20:49:00.000-07:00

Mostly all domain sellers as well as domain buyers already know that domain names is an online real estate with a high growth rate. In the recent years the growth is very tremendous. It has attracted more investors to venture in this online property, either by direct registration or by winning a bid at after market auctions. This domain article will help you and guide you how to invest on domain properties up to a certain extent.

If you wish to build a domain portfolio either a small one with 100 domains are a larger one with 100's and 100's of domain names. You have to build a good quality portfolio, so that your investment will keep on rolling high. Similar to real estate principle, domain investors have to make wise decisions when they acquire domain names. There are two factors which mainly determines your portfolio quality

1.) Acquire domains which have an appreciable quantity of type-in traffic. High traffic domains are best; you can get your ROI soon from parking income.

2.) Acquire quality domains i.e. short, memorable, extension, brand able.

A high quality premium domain will fetch you a good price in future.

Generally portfolio owners will go on registering domains for an year, in the mean time they will analyze the quality of the portfolio and they will optimize their portfolio either by selling a few domains or left a few with out renewal. This is the general procedure followed.

Earn from Domain Parking

Your portfolio can be made to earn if you park your domains. Even though parking doesn't earn much, it is the laziest way to earn some bucks. On an average a domain name can earn up to 2 $US per year per, if you own a quality portfolio. Parking allows to you to monetize your domain traffic (Type in traffic) by placing targeted ads relevant to your domain keyword. Most of the domains receive very low natural traffic. A keyword optimizer is used by most of the parking companies which allows its users to optimize to get relevant advertisements.

However such parking companies doesn't have their own ad feeds, they get their ads from Meta search engines like google, yahoo, 7search ETC. So they will fetch you with a portion of their income from your domain names mostly up 20-30 % only. Most of the domain sellers won't concentrate much on parking, but the domain parking income can be used to promote a few domains from your portfolio. More over most of the parking companies have an option to place a button like "This domain may be available for sale by its owner"

Domain sellers generally try to develop some domains, and try to sell some domains picked up by some end users from their portfolio, which will fetch them with great money. Even a great sale of single domain will pay their renewals up to 10 years for a big port folio with 1000's of domain names.

Domain name Market Value.

Along with the investment strategy most of the domain owners as well as domain sellers have an aim and goal to sell their domains at great prices. Expectation is appreciated if you own a great domain name. One of the main things you have to consider is the market value of your domain it largely depends on

1.) Natural organic traffic to your domain name is one of the main things that determine the market value.

2.) Of course the domain length, memorable, extension, search engine ranking, registration of other extensions, frequency of appearance at major search engines, domain age also determines the profitable sale of your domain

How to earn from Domain Parking?

2008-10-08T02:04:00.000-07:00

Domain parking is the only laziest way to earn money from domain names. It not even required even to lift your hands. You have to point your domains to parking companies, simply place their name servers as optional, and go on further to register domain names

You are not required to pay any hosting fee or design your website or create any content for your website or contact with advertisers to get any ad. The parking company takes care of every thing. They pay host fee, make you a beautiful website full of advertisements, when any one clicks on the advertisements on your site. You make money from your domain.

You can park 100’s or even 1000’s of domains with in a few hours, rather it takes even months to create a website. There are few parking companies who have good experience in this business, and they a lot of players are also involved.

Even though domain parking looks like a fortune business. Most of the domain community is not even able to make even pennies. Main reason is parked domains won’t get any ranking at all, as it doesn’t have any information to be provided to site visitors. Therefore the only source of traffic is natural organic type in traffic.

Only a few individuals and companies are earning some good bucks with parking, others are not even to pay their renewal from the parking earning.

Domains targeted for parking includes

* Generic keywords like creditcards.com, mobiles.com, studentloans.com etc. Such domains will have an organic traffic that can be tapped out to earn some money.

* Typo domains (or) misspelled domains, tools are available to find typos. If you target a typo domain of any developed website. You will get some traffic.

* One of the well known concepts is the traffic from expired domains.

Benefit and risks in multiple domains on single account.

2008-10-06T06:36:00.000-07:00

Now these days many web host providers offer hosting plans to host multiple domains in a single account mostly all domain sellers are web host providers. You can host multiple domains even in 1000's. The Plan size starts even from 200 MB to 500 GB.

(a) There are few benefits in using such hosting plan.

1.) One main thing is money. Hosting cost per domain as low as 10 cents / year is possible (single page websites)

2.) Once you check the up time, speed, trace route ETC. It will be same for all your domains so a lot of time gets saved.

3.) If you wish to lock your domains (or) change the name server, you can change them by bulk selection.

(b) The possible risks to hold multiple domains in single account.

1.) When ever the web host is down for maintenance / weather conditions / technical problems. All the websites won’t appear on the net.

2.) If you are just a domain seller wish to host all domains with minimum content, such type is okay.

3.) If you run a business on more than one domain, you will lose more because of down time.

4.) One domain is taken as the root, and all other domains will be listed in that root. If you won’t renew your root domain, once again your websites won’t appear. Or you have to pay the one time fee to the host provider to change the root (Usually $5 US)

How do i sell my domains at high prices ? what are the factors that affect domain sale price?

2008-10-04T02:03:00.000-07:00

Few domain sellers feel that the domain age will fetch a good price for their domains. But it is true up to certain extent only. If your domain is a strong keyword then aging increases its sale price. If you buy some meaningless domains, even if your domain age is 10+ years it wont serve its purpose and you will not be able to gain, even the invested registration fee. I see several domains sell at very mean prices. even though i am unhappy with such domain sales, i cant stop such sales. Their need is like that.

My humble advise is not to register more domains, think multiple times before you register. First of all think How do you use this domain ? "other than sale" if you have answer for this. Then immediately register that domain. You can sell it. I am sure about this

Did you know why domains are bought for such high prices. They mean it as an online commodity. They can build their business empire on the domain bought from you. so only that online property has high returns. They are ready to pay even in millions to acquire a good domain. They probably need a domain that already make some business and that can give a ROI ( Return on Investment ) with in few years.

If you build your site with quality incoming links, That can bring quality traffic for your site which can be converted in to sales. surely it will fetch you a good price. But if you build too many links which are irrelevant to your specific niche then it will waste the band width, nothing more
Most good domains were registered before 2000 itself. It is very rare to find a nice domain, but if you search you can find. It is like a bank to deposit money. Aged domains will be trusted by all major search engines. So it can fetch you good prices.

Some domain sellers will say don't try to sell your domains with in a year. It will not fetch you good price. It is not true, if your domain is a great one buyers will knock your door step and fill your mail boxes with offers.Be patience, you have the perfect domain name, wait until a domain buyer finds you, just sit back and watch your domain regularly. If you get a nice offer, then sell it. If you receive no offers then you have to do some marketing - sales promotional activity like listing at domain broker site, domain auction sites ETC. additionally paid listings on home page for better exposure to sell your domains. Such promotions can be done after a year, as first you try to sell without spending your pocket money. one final thing is sell your domains in a right way (or) don't sell it at all.

Can i sell domains at domain forums ?

2008-10-03T06:23:00.000-07:00

I am wondering that most of the domainers say that it is one of the best way to sell domain names through forums, But it is not true. Domain sales is not the best at most of the domain forums except a few. Did you find any frequent domain sales record either at namebio (or) dnjournal ETC.

Even if the domain sale take place, it is not a notable sale. to sell domains you must be a frequent
forum poster there. If any one dislike you he wont buy domain from you.

There are few other benefits at domain forums on which you can concentrate
1) You can discuss and learn a lot from about domains and domaining
2) You can ask "appraise my domain" so that you can judge the value
3) Discuss with other domainers and create contacts
4) if you are interested in tiny profits you can sell here. Frequent domain sales will create a positive track record and you can improve your business slowly.

If you tell any lies it will fairly affect your business as well as your reputation as there are so many experienced webmasters at domain forums and they will chuck out you from the forum itself. Take care of what you post, concentrate on your words. Don't make more posts / create more threads it will make them to feel that you are spamming. be kind, courteous, polite and answer all questions even if they seem stupid. Try to get a positive attention to your thread. You can gain a very good publicity.

Did brokers buy domains ? Be aware of Domain buyer broker ?

2008-09-23T10:59:00.000-07:00

At few major domain buyer broker sites they say that they will buy domains and ask you to submit your domain portfolio for consideration. on submission they thank and say one of our executive will contact you soon (Probably an auto responder)

After 2 days they mail you to submit your domain at their market place for a small listing fee. This an age old malpractice followed by few portfolio sellers. They will collect your personal data like your name, mail id, phone number, current address, domains you own and their prices etc. I request not to fall in such scams. They wont buy any domains from you, they will try to grab some alternative domains on viewing your domain list [ all of you know very well that, when ever we view a list of domains, we get some idea to register new domains like plurals, alternative keywords etc from thesaurus or dictionary or word list generator]

Such domain buyer brokers generally won't buy any domains from domain sellers, may be they will pick a few great names from your portfolio and wish to grab domains very cheap. Did you ever heard such domain sales at any domain forums or domain blogs, Best way is submit to more than one domain broker to sell your domain, and promote your self in the way you know to the best possible extent. As no one will market your domain as best as you can.

Things to consider when i buy a new domain name ?

2008-09-22T01:23:00.000-07:00

Most of the domain buyers may know very well that it is very very difficult to find a never registered domain name. mainly top level domain names. What i mean is most of the domains we register were already registered by some one else and used for their business for a specific time, and then left out either because of disinterest, forgot renewal or unable to build business. Such domains have a development record at archive.org. So you have to check and make some research on domains to choose a perfect domain for your business

Here are few tips you have to consider.

Keyword Research

Your domain name must have a keyword related to your business, for eg if you have interest to do some business related to "Domain Name" then you have to search for strong keywords that pull some organic traffic

domain registration
domain reseller
domain hosting
domain brokers
domain brokerage
we buy domains
we sell domains
domain auctions
domain aftersellers
domain forums
domain reviews
domain blogs

these are few domain names which has a keyword "Domain" as a part of the domain name, such domains are called as generic domains

Brandability

If you wish to have a brandable domain which can be made as a business trade mark in future, short abbreviations, acronyms etc. such domains are short sexy and memorable, the only problem is you can't find what their business is, from the domain name itself, brandable domains needs more funds to advertise and build your business

Checking the previous usage of domain

If you are serious in building your online business community, then you have to check with archive.org to check the previous usage of the domain name, some domains may be used as porn, adult sites, hardcore, spam with hundreds of in door pages, some domains needs a lot of work and money to vanish the old useless traffic and links etc. Few domain sellers also ban the archive bot to crawl their site, so you have to check the domain in all possible ways, back link check etc to find the past usage of domain name.

Don't choose hyphen domains mostly

domains with hyphen are generally used to spam in olden days, however if you got a valuable keyword you can register it. possibly avoid multiple hyphens like this "Sell- your-Names-at-Domain-name-broker-site.com" avoid more than one hyphen domains. more hyphens means blackness in your domain, so snow white domains didn't have hyphens

Length of Domain Name

Short domain names are much preferred and best compared to longer domains. short domains have a good type in traffic rather than longer ones, have your character length below 14, avoid domains with character length more than 21.

Buy top level domains only.

If you wish to build or resell your domain property you have to choose top level domains only for Eg

selldomain.com,
selldomain.net,
selldomain.org,
selldomain.info rather than selldomain.biz, selldomain.name etc

Check usage of TLD when you buy other extensions

If you got a Great keyword domain for your online business either in .ca / .de / .fr extensions then you have to check mainly for the usage of .com domains, as most of us use " CTRl + Enter " after we type the domain name. If you use such domains for your business, your reputation and good will gets spoiled if the .com version of that particular keyword is used for adult related or spam type or spy ware hidden. even you type the domain name fully with extension in your business card / emails / on your car or bike, it wont work out as most of us didn't consider extension, I.e if you say your domain they will automatically mean that the extension is .com. Therefore make a clear check when you go for an alternative domain extension

Check for variations and misspellings

People of different countries spell certain word in a different way For Eg
Website Optimization at US
Website Optimisation at UK
similarly comfort Vs komfort, contact Vs kontact, etc
you can register multiple variations if your are able to bear additional domain registration fee as well a domain renewal fee
misspellings like
whisky instead of whiskey,
lollypop instead of lollipop,
domian instead of domain
such domains will get some type in traffic which you can redirect to your main website

Back Links

you have to check for the source of the links, whether from directories, search engine, news group, forum signatures, blog reviews, articles sites, social media etc you can acquire domains with such useful links, these are called as white links, If the domain has links from link farms, spam links, links from black listed sites - hate links, links from suspicious websites. then the traffic from such links is useless and you have to spend more for search engine optimization as you have to build more positive links for your site to create a positive view on your site.

Search Engine Indexed pages

Website build on such domains will spread its business at a faster rate.

Trade mark issues

Few domains available for sale are trade mark domains and may have some legal issues also, domain seller just want to get rid of them, they don't want to deal with such issues. You have to make a quick search on database of US trademarks, to find whether such domain name may get any problem in future, It is not at all necessary for you to lose your domain with lot of efforts and money to a trade mark holder. If you wish to bear such risks, it is up to you

sell domains through domain brokers ?

2008-09-14T12:14:00.000-07:00

1.) what is the worth of my domain name ?

Worth of domain depends on its demand, If your mail in-box is filled with offers for your domain name on a regular basis, your domain worth's more and you can easily judge the price of your domain as most of the buyers will mail you like "i need this domain and i will pay you $ xxxx like this" and you continually mail Higher offers needed like that for average sale prices. If you find out that he need your domain at any cost " you can demand in Millions"

On the other hand if you didn't receive any offers for your domain then you have to spend to promote your domains. Normally domains sold from Low $ xxx to even Millions of dollars. In this case the price greatly depends on how fast you wish to sell your domain name, promote and make others gets interested in your domain. Currently fund.com was sold in the early 2008 for 10 Million US dollars. Companies and individuals are ready to pay such a big bucks to acquire a quality domain. At present companies and individuals who are new comers for online presence are even ready to pay more to acquire quality domains.

Even then price your domains in the price range with mid of $ xxx to low of $ xxxxx. except if you own a domain which gets a lot of offers. You have to spend to promote and sell your domains, so don't sell your domains below mid of xxx Dollars. make efforts to get high offers from domain buyers

Please note if you are unaware about the worth of domain names. you can't sell your domain name for real prices. as every one wants to grab domains at cheap prices.

2.) Will you please appraise my domain name ? what do you think about the worth of my domain name ?

you can check with the previous domain sales at Dnjournal, Namebio ETC, even though so many software appraisals are available for free at various sites. I think that some free manual appraisals are also available, Make a search at Google / MSN / Yahoo i think name boy offers it. You can get some manual appraisals at several domain forums, which are quite valuable for low profile domains.

However if you own a Great Name. Just refer various domain forums and view appraisals, make a question how appraisals are made, but never tell your domain name for appraisal, such appraisals will reduce the value of your domain.

3.) I heard that even high offers for domains are refused by domain sellers ?

Most of the domain buyers make very low offers, they will tactically try to grab your domains at much cheaper cost that the prevailing market prices. Once you get a high offers from some end users, you can easily judge the potential value of your domain name, at the same time if you get some professional appraisal from multiple appraisers.

You can have a clear cut idea about the value of your domain, and you can stick to your final price, even the high offers from others point of view looks low and hence you can simply refuse those offers.In such cases you can even hire a domain broker to place your domain on his home page. such broker sites have millions of page views per month and you will get more offers for your domain.

Domain brokers also make end user campaign to sell domains to end users.end user prices are several times higher compared to ordinary domain sales. You have to pay a small percentage of your sale price [ Generally 10% ] as domain broker fee.

4.) What is the maximum price of a domain for sale ? high offer price ?

At few domain market places as well as domain auction sites, you may find domains listed for sale with asking prices in millions of dollars. they listed them with hope that it will sell for millions, and with that motivation they pay their renewals again and again for several years with no buyers.If you carefully look at them. you find that there is no sales correspondence. so if you feel your domain will cost millions, no one will help you to sell your domain. most of the domain brokers wont even list million dollar domain.

5.) I have a Million dollar domain ? I wish to sell ? How to start the domain sales?

It is very easy to sell a Million dollar domain, either at domain auction sites or at domain market places. You have to list the domain at very low asking prices, Just ask to make offers accept offer when your reserve price met, else wait until the domain sells

Where as domain broker site like ours will start domain auction at low asking price and will proceed up to 7 days. when your domain receives offers higher than your reserve price then we will sell your domain on behalf of you and hand over the cash to you and transfer the domain name to my client. we offer domain brokerage service for a small fee of 10 %.

6.) Does selling my domain name make me rich ?

It depends on your domain name and how lucky you are. But most high priced domain transactions are done some where by well qualified professional as deep secrets. Most of the domainers wont even reach that line, on the other hand you can make some money if you register some good domains and sell them, But you wont become rich from them. At the same time you can leverage the potential in your domain when you establish a business on your domain name. Like a job site, dating site, mailing service ETC. Some people even make good money from selling domain names. So don't try to approach domain sales as a get quick rich scheme, such a luck happens to very few domain sellers only. may be, you also a one in that, But please dont build air castles. wait and see such lucky domain sellers with great domains.

7.) What is the current position of the domain market ?

It is very difficult to precisely tell about the position of domain market. Few high profile domains are sold privately in a secret way. Most sales price will not be publicly revealed to the market.few B2C sales is also kept secret. Most of the domain sales at domain broker sites are of low value ranges from low $ xxx to high $ xxxx only. Please note it is a 2 billion dollar industry. If a domain is sold at domain broker. then the domain sales will be published by major domain journals and news agents. Most sales are being transacted directly between the domain buyer and seller i.e 1 to 1 sales, no middle men. But rare.

8.) Which domain broker is best?

I am answering this once again for domain sellers, so as to help them. One who responds your mails at a faster rate, and completes your domain sales and all transactions on behalf of you, takes much responsibility to sell your domain names. first thing is to check the listed domains whether his own domains or others, did any sales or not. Listing at different places gives more visibility for your domains. whether he sells or not list there, if it is free. paid listing is not required except home page listing.

Most of the domain brokers offer similar service, either big or small. It should be active. some sites acts as domain brokers, just write blogs, reviews, forums or list their own domains ETC. but don't work to sell your domains.

9.) How do i choose a domain broker to sell my domain names ?

check out for the domain brokerage fee, check with similar domain broker sites, is it equal to other brokers. Is there any any track record for any sales made so far. even though many brokers are new, even i, just offer an opportunity, you are not transferring your domains, just mail set of domain names to list at domain brokerage site

You have to check a few

> The brokerage commission rate. Most of the major domain brokers offer same fee. major brokers wont charge any fee to bidders to make a bid as it affects their business.

> Does the broker have a sales record, don't hesitate to ask questions to domain broker and check how fast he responds to your questions, with responsibility.

> How many names are listed, who is their owners check with who is database.

> How easy it would be for buyers to navigate through the site, and make a purchase with trust.

> Check for domain prices listed there, are these with in your price range,means affordable.very low prices means worst, very high means unaffordable, Moderate pricing is better for business.

> Does site offer minimum offer prices, BIN prices etc (or) only make offers.

> Do business with more than one domain broker. Try to increase the exposure for your domain names as much as possible.

> At last don't be more greedy, glance at broker site will show 100's and 100's of domain names for sale. Don't price your domains just like some thing by your self with " out of market prices"

10.) What i have to do if i had a good experience with a domain broker ?

The domain name market is still young, you can spread the name of domain broker at few forums, comment at blogs, tell your friend, spread word of mouth. You help more domain buyers and domain sellers to make business with us. At the same time more chances for your domains to be sold. all sorts of priority will be given to friends who offer initial help to build our business, that is a general thing you know. Don't forget to place a link point to the site home page, if possible.

11.) what if i have to do if i had a bad experience with domain broker ?

Don't do any further business with him, make your friends and well wishers to be aware of that domain broker. If possible mail an advice to the broker to correct his activities, as it affects his business. I also invite happily if you offer constructive criticism.

12.) Some one wants to buy my domain name ? i am worried about scams ?

If you wish to sell domains for the asked price, you can directly ask the domain buyer to raise an escrow. but at your risk. You can hire a domain broker who can act on behalf of you, to do the transaction. If you think that your domain will sell for higher prices, you can list your domain at the domain broker site and divert that buyer to domain brokers site. when ever an offer gets received you domain will be subjected for a 7 day auction to get multiple bids so that your online property will be sold for higher prices.

Search and sell your domains for huge profits

2008-09-12T21:25:00.000-07:00

How to choose a domain name for a website which is already available?

If you feel that the domain name currently you use is not appealing and you wish to shift to a new domain name. you have to do some brain storming to get a domain name, as you currently know very well about your project, business and related keyword. However you wont be able to find easily strong keywords as most of them are already registered. But if you search for all possible keywords you can catch up one or two, you can easily find domains with commonly used prefixes and suffixes.

In case if you find domain names already registered, you can contact the current owner and make an offer. You can even contact a domain broker to back order a domain or ask to mail domain names with key words related to your business.

Domain selling is not a quick rich scheme ?

If you wish to be a domainer to buy domains with an intention to sell for huge profits, clearly like a quick profit method ( get rich quickly ) then sorry you are too late for this domain name business. but you can make profits up to 100 times if you carefully search for domains and wait until it sells, you can make profits. Please don't rush to sell your domain names, experience is a must.
make a daily budget to acquire one domain a day, analyze for few hours, learn several domain related blogs, participate in domain forums. With in a year you build a small domain portfolio with more than 300 domains. Please take care that you have to pay renewal for each and every year. dont let it expire because of funds. you have to stop registering domains when you feel that you wont be able to afford to pay further more renewal fees.

There are millions of domain names listed for sale at various domain broker sites and domain market places with start price as low as few 100 USD, million dollar domains are also available for sale. But most of the domains sells at a fraction of the asking prices 10 % to 30 % , ie auction format is followed from minimum offer price. BIN (Buy it now) is very rare sales. Mostly low priced domains up to 2500 USD sells more, and high priced domains sell rarely.

Don't decide with the asking price of domain names. such thing is very very rare. the true value of the domain depends on the need and requirement of the buyer. each and every day there are thousands of domains get expired. mostly rags, experienced domainers select and catch few great expired domains from drop catchers by auction where routine programs are available to catch those expired domains. such domains can be sold at good profits. these domains are also called as deleted domains

How to search a domain name for my business ?

2008-09-12T12:25:00.000-07:00

First of all you have to choose and decide about your project, I.E what you are going to sell (or) what services you wish to offer etc. Now you take few Blank sheets of paper and dictionary.

Now you simply write some thing about your project in a few sentences, just make a paragraph. now you cut down unnecessary words to make a short descriptive sentence. take care the paragraph should have all the important aspects of your business.

Now you under line all the key words present in that paragraph. you can check for a single keyword or a combination of two which ever preferred by you.

for eg.

you can check with few seo tools like work tracker, 7search, search123 and overture to find the number of persons who are in search of this keyword.so that it can give you direct navigational type-in traffic, which is very valuable and has a high conversion ratio

If you are interested in short domains only, you can add some common prefix or suffix to your domain name

some common prefixes are

top, new, best, e, i, my, the, online, net, web, your, our ETC

EG top domains, new domains, best domains, e domains, i domains, my domains, the domains, online domains, net domains, web domains, your domains, our domains. You can also try in singular form.

Now you have to check the availability of the domain name. If you find unregistered. Register it immediately, If you find already registered then make a search of your desired domain name at the a domain brokers site. you can easily find it. but check with your financial capacity to acquire that domain name, as great domains are generally sold at 7 figures ( Millions of USD) There names are short, sexy and memorable

Which domain extension should i choose for my online business ?

2008-09-11T06:59:00.000-07:00

Most of us say just register .com, generally you have to choose the extension based on your business. If your business is a network, you can choose .net, If is is a non profit organization you can choose .org, If you wish to provide free or paid info online you can acquire .info. If your business is for a specific country only you can choose country code extensions like .de, .ca, .co.uk, .in, .co.in, .au, .nl, .hx ETC.

If you are a domainer, who purely concentrate on domain sales, and domain name not for any development purpose you can try for .com (or) .net. As domain buyers have a strong belief that .com is the king and .net is the queen in domain business. Now a days co.uk is gets some importance.

Even though the above extensions are considered as valuable, very long domains more than 21 characters are considered for lesser value. few domainers feel domains of 5 - 9 characters are valuable and few may extend it up to 14 chars. If you are able to acquire a commercial one word domain it is nice . Strong two word domains with high commercial impact also have value, but .com or .net preferred.

Why my Domain parking account is terminated ?

2008-09-09T21:08:00.000-07:00

When i read the parking section of any domain name forum, many friends create threads like my parking account is suspended, There are more than one reason behind the suspension of the parking account

Advertisers pay to parking companies place ads on these parked pages, if they feel that there is no conversion, they will mail to the parking company that they receive worth less traffic, at once your account will be watched, If you click on the ads by your self or ask your friends to click on the ads it will end up in account termination, as ip address of each click is recorded. Several tools are available to check your ip address.

The second one is being, using a manual surf or auto surf program to increase page impressions and clicks, the parking companies will easily find out the traffic source. If the traffic is from a paid surf or surf exchange provider, they will immediately terminate your parking account.

Most of the parking providers wont allow clicks from traffic generated by email campaigns. These parking companies are integrated with advertisement providers like google, yahoo ETC who strictly resist click frauds, They need safety for their ad providers.

If you provide a false address, there are chances that your account may get terminated. more over you have to read the TOS of parking company before you sign up for a domain parking account.

The real fact is parking companies needs direct navigational type in traffic, so that there will be enough conversion. Such a conversion is only possible, if you park high quality generic domain name. The possibilities is quite low. more over you can earn up to $ 2 per domain on an average. ie, if you park 10,000 domains your domain parking revenue will be some where around $ 20,000 only.

The best possible way to earn from domain name is, make domaining as a business, buy and sell domains on a regular fashion. to speed up your domain business. You can use the value added services or special services provided by the domain broker site. Few of the services are featured listing, category listing, domain appraisal, auction submission ETC.

Otherwise it is advisable that you don't waste you money on domain name listing ETC

The only thing is, if it is started to get higher offers for your domain "higher domain offer, than your reserve price" you have to release your domain from different domain market places and consider only one domain name brokering site which fetches you good offers for your name.

Domain brokers site receives a considerable amount of traffic from search engines. however it shows its result pages based on keywords in its content. so we are forced to write content for our site rather than to help others to sell and purchase domain names. one big fact is much more people have captured the SERP pages for keyword related to domain name broker. who where not at all brokers, just review writers, forum makers, ad pages ETC, and hence the users were unable to reach the desired site. we are not in a position to blame search engines as they cant manually review each and every web site.
