Hi

Selling domain names is not easy, and unfortunately, receiving unsolicited quality offers does not happen every day. Below is a list of 5 tips to help make selling your domain names a little easier.

1. Post a link on your website or parking page letting everyone know the domain name is for sale. Most parking companies have this option available. I would also make sure to keep your who is information accurate. If buyers can’t find you, they can’t make offers.
2. List your domain name with multiple auction companies.
3. Search the terms used to describe what your domain name would be best used for. I would search for “Used Car Parts”. Then send an email to the first few pages of results asking them if they would be interested in purchasing my domain name. Either your domain name is better than theirs or they may want to reduce any possible competition.
4. List your domains for sale on domainer forums. Selling to end users will, in most cases bring in the highest offers, but selling to domain investors may mean quicker, easier sales allowing you to sell higher quantities of domain names. Plus, some domain investors are end buyers!

Keep sharing and reading
Thanks

Hi

Right position, #1. I agree but even stronger. Only reason not to park your domain is if you have it in use with a real website. It works well even if the domain does not get type-ins. Even if only one person in the world wants your domain, he or she is likely to visit the domain and see what's (not) there. On our site, domains that are parked are MUCH more likely to sell than domains that are not. Only about 10% of our listings are parked on our site, but about 50% of our sales are parked. That means our listings that are parked are 5 times more likely to sell than domains that are not.

I also think it helps to park them on a reputable site where buyers get assurance that their transaction will be safe. If you park your own, add a message about how your escrow service (escrow.com, afternic, sedo, whatever you choose) guarantees a safe transaction for the buyer.

thanks

I read that too (on their website) about applied semantics not accepting you you unless you can deliver 100,000 uniques a month. I find that amazing in that there would seen to be so very few names who would have that much traffic to send to parked pages! With such a low number of possible clients with domains like that it's surprising applied semantics is such a big prosperous appearing firm.

100,000 true uniques a month is incredible traffic for a parked page. With that kind of heavy traffic why in the world use a ppc program to generate revenue in the first place as selling a simple product or service would seem to me to be able to generate significantly more revenue than notoriously low income ppc programs do.

Does anyone here have domains with that much traffic? If so, how much are they valued at?
