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

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.

Domain Name Investment Guide.

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?

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.

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?

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 ?

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.
