Where do I sell my domain?
Posted on 09. May, 2008 by admin.
First, one must find a good domain name. Common words are best and the shorter the better, the names are more general and those searching can use them. In addition facts like spelling and hyphenating makes a big difference in the sale of a domain name.
Before worrying about the sale of your domain name you need to first register it. Awhile back it would cost one $70 to register for a total of 2 years. Now you can find registrations totaling as little as $14 a year.
Some believe the most effective place to sell your domain names are on auction sites such as Ebay.com. One can also use a broker that will list the name for free and charge a fee when the name is sold. Others do charge a fee to list. Research these firms online because brokerage firms for domain names are still fairly new. Therefore, statistics on their successes can be hard to come by.
If you would rather, you can independently sell your domain name. To do this you can sit and wait for offers to come to you, you can create a web page announcing the sale of your domain names or create a site and post a notice that the name and site are for sale.
In any event, there is money to be made in the sell of a domain name.

Selling Your Domain
Posted on 01. May, 2008 by admin.
When deciding to sell your domain name independently there is three ways in which to market the name. These include doing nothing, creating an active set or setting up a web page that is very basic.
Doing nothing is just as the title reads. It is the simplest way to sell a domain name. With this one basically sits and waits for potential buyers to come approach them. Unless you have a domain name that is a high commodity, this approach is slim to see results.
The flip side to doing nothing is creating an active site. For those wishing to give their time and effort to marketing their domain name this is the way to go. One will create a full fledge site and post a very visible notice that the domain name is for sale. An interesting site attracts many viewers, thus attracting more potential buyers. If your site is popular enough a buyer may purchase both the name and the information on the site.
Finally, another option is setting up a page associated with the domain name. Crate a message on the page that informs viewers what domain names you have for sale. The benefit to this approach is little effort and potential buyers can view the site while searching.

There are a number of companies offering services to help those selling domain names. This is a fairly new market, so it is still growing and not much information on the success of sales is available. When you decide to use a broker you should follow a few easy steps.
First, visit the brokers’ web sites. Research the companies thoroughly to find one that may fit your needs.
Second, send an email explaining what you are looking for. Use the sites contact information. Explain thoroughly that you are looking to sell your domain name and what services you are seeking. Ask any questions you may have about the company and what services they offer their clients. When you receive replies note how long it took each company to reply to your email and if they answered your questions and provided the necessary information to make an informed decision.
Finally, choose a site after you receive replies from the companies and have had time to research each completely. If you are not impressed with any companies you received information from remember you can always sell your domain name independently.
Selling your domain name should not be too stressful. If you have no luck with a broker there are always other avenues to consider.

Buying / Selling Domains
Posted on 06. Apr, 2008 by admin.
When buying or selling a domain name value is one of the most important aspects to consider. There are several factors involved in deciding the value of a domain name. Length, spelling and using .com in the name are just a few of the selling points.
If, by chance, you have received unsolicited offers for your domain name you have two advantages. First, you know there is some value associated with the domain name. And, two you have a starting price for the sale of the name.
Rule of thumb is generally the more words in a domain name and the less it is worth. However, common two word expressions seem to bring a larger price than rare one-word expressions. Even three-word expressions can be worth more than a rare one word if they are common.
Spelling is another key when selling your domain name. For example if a domain name is spelled urdomain.com versus yourdomain.com the incorrectly spelled domain is far less valuable.
Selling a domain name can be profitable and even fun. But, there are keys to getting the best price out of your domain name. Research first and look into what would be a good starting price. Spelling is key, common expressions are best and .com will give you top dollar.
