2 Essential Tips For Earning Money From Your Domains
Selling your domain names is no easy task as many bulk domain buyers will point out. Buying domains is very easy at a cost from $8 upwards (depending on which registrar) but to then sell them on for a large profit can take a long time even to convince buyers to purchase your domain for the asking price.
This article will show you 2 essential tips how to make the most of your domains work for you and help sell them much more quickly in the future.
The Beginning
Now you have purchased your domain lets begin making it more desirable to buyers. First of all make an index page, a simple one nothing too fancy, but it must look like a website to suit the domain name. Now join either Google Adsence or some other third party PPC advertising website, then place their code in to your index page. Don't forget to place keywords within the index page. You will need to view the source (html) code and insert a line e.g. - <meta name="keywords" content="your, chosen, keywords, to, use" />. The page title will need to reflect your domain name and web page also, so this will need to be changed/added e.g. - <title>YourDomain.com – Place here info about your web page</title>.
Find a free web host, do a search in Google there are plenty around, then upload your index page. The adverts that will be displayed will help generate extra money while you wait for a buyer.
Submit your website to a number of search engines, a very good tool to do this is Web CEO, a free program enabling you to submit to all major search engines around the world.
Traffic, Pagerank & Backlinks
Now for the hard bit which sadly does not happen over night instead it will happen over months of hard hard work. The more of the above the better as this will demonstrate that the domain name is worth a lot due to the large amount of traffic visiting which in turn could lead to a wealthy website.
If you domain name is a generic word(s) this will help to draw in traffic, but there are other ways if you don't. This does mean you will need to advertise like through Google Adwords, text links, blogs and forums.
The rest is all down to waiting and viewing the websites statistics each week and month to view which keywords or phrases are being used to find your domain/website. This will take time as I have already said, but the reward will be a great one.
I'll give you an example, visit www.televisions.com and you will see it's just a PPC web page, but this is worth (at the time of writing) $215,000. It has a pagerank of 3/10 and the traffic when viewed through Alexa is staggering.
So what are you waiting for?
