The domain game
 

Im not a pro or anything, but I have sold a few domains in the past.

Here are some helpful tips for finding/selling good domains.


1. sex-lovely-pussy69.com might look like a good domain and you might think you can sell it for $14,000 on ebay... but your better off saving your $7.99 ($35.00 if you are someone who doesnt shop around)

2. Dot coms are still king.

3. Use services such as marketleap.com to see if your domain has any link popularity.

4. archive.org is also a good tool to find out the history of the domain.

5. If it has been unregistered for 8 months. Its probobly not very valuable.

6. Build a website around your domains. They will be much more valuable if they have traffic.

7. Keep track of your domains and remember to renew them or I will snatch them up myself.


Like I said, Im not a pro, but here are some tips :thumbsup

Bet you snatched mine!:mad:

No but I snatched someones domain who must have been having an affair. His mistress keeps emailing me.

you say you have sold some domains, what was your highest sold domain name?

With a website - $600


Like I said, Im not a pro :winkwink:

Thanks for the tip. There should be a service that tracks traffic to dead domains, buys them and resells them.

These are obvious things for everyone.
I really wonder why people who acheived something in this biz ( f.e run a succesfull TGP or build good AVS sites or..whatever ) have completely no idea how to appraise their domains.

i do not know if these are really "tips"

"renew your domains"

wtf :helpme

well considering good names expire every day I'd say it probably is a tip some people could do with taking.

thnx for the tips... I don't think .com's are still king tho, they're good but .net or .biz is easily accepted too

The bad thing about .net websites is once they get popular, they will always leak traffic to the .com version of the name. :2 cents:

Extort :2 cents:

You are kidding....
aren't you??

When it comes to the title of this thread
"The domain game",
dot com is king far and away

:)

i sold a adult domain name for $3300 once and what i ahd done was put another name on ebay forsale and at that name i had page with a list of my domains someone emailed me offer of $3300 i sold it :) there is lots of things to consider when buying and selling my only problem now is that godaddy stopped allowing you to push a name out of your account ebfore 60 days :(

That's odd, I pushed some out a few days after I bought them. :1orglaugh

.net and .biz are good for SEO and nothing more

if you are seeking to brand any domain beside .com you are crazy.

Ctrl-Enter = add .com in IE. That little point makes .com more valuable.

Thanks MastaMindz for the link..


Found some cheaters. :thumbsup

Damn I never knew that. This trick just saved me at least 5 minutes a day :thumbsup

nice post

funny.. i sold netlabor.com for 3,500.00 a couple years back to a company that was afraid my online job site was going to be competition. heheh..

One domain I wish I hadnt sold was TeenPanties.com for 700.00 a few years back.

yeah you could do this up till like a month or so ago i sold a domain went to push it out and got an error caled godaddy and they told me they have to enforce it due to icann i was pissed ill use soemone else later and im moving all my domains from godaddy to a new registar :Graucho

I just transfered one yesterday that was under a month old. Weird.

I remember a website a while back that rented out domains that had traffic. Can't remember the domain though. Wonder if it still exists.
