tips


  • As a beginner, don't rush into ANYTHING. Read the forum of your choice everyday to get a feel of current issues etc and if you don't understand then ask. Ask as many question as you can.
  • Don't get into selling domains to pay bills. You'll put desperate prices on your domains and things will hit the fan fast.
  • Some people call themselves "investors" but they are really floating in a life boat. There are millions of domain possibilities and a thousands get abandoned each day. The best way for your domains not to end up in a graveyard is to learn how to develop or install scripts on your domain before you "invest."
  • After your first purchase, find people who you respect in the business and follow their lead or ask their advice once in a while.
  • Don't stop talking! If no one knows your domains are for sale then no one will buy. Some people may call this spam so get a feel for who you're dealing with.
  • Be friendly and open to accepting people as friends and think before you post or say something that stirs emotion.
  • Believe me when I say domainers are not competition. They aren't buying because they are either broke or not interested in your domain, not necessarily because of you.

More Tips for Picking a Domain Name for Your Real Estate Website


More Tips for Picking a Domain Name for Your Real Estate Website

Kurt D. Lynn July 16, 2008

On the Web, your name is everything; your domain is your brand.

Quote:
Sure, it sounds easy-just pick a name and get your real estate website going-but it’s just not that simple. Choosing a domain name for your real estate website is one of the most important dynamics in your real estate business. Your domain name choice will be the foundation of all that you do over the Internet in the future. And in the future, the Internet will be very important in the real estate industry.

Before you sit down in front of your PC and start checking out names, here’s a few things to consider:

1) A brand is more than words. Your real estate brand is an image of who you are and what you offer-represented by words. Like any communication task, pick the wrong words and you may establish the wrong image. Often, it is more important that your brand be clear than it is that your brand be clever. A domain name choice of “chicagoproperty.com” might not be more clever than “landboutique.com” but it’s very clear what the name represents. Generally, your domain name-your brand on the Internet-should also address a “benefit” that is provided. In this vein, a domain name choice of “qualitychicagoproperty.com” might be much better than “susiesrealty.com.”

2) The idea of your real estate brand is to be memorable-to get the “mindshare” of your prospective visitor. To that end, it makes no real difference whether your name is long or short-both can be memorable. But it probably suggests that you do not add articles such as “the” or “a” to the name and that you do not include hyphens in the name unless that is accepted common usage for the terms you choose. If in doubt, take a poll of prospective customers and ask them about the memory “stickiness” of your proposed name.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/domain-name-discussion/279987-150-domain-tips.html

3) Lastly, everybody wants the “.com” extension, but finding the right one can be difficult. Don’t discount extensions such as “.net”, “.info”, “.biz” and “.us”-they may make just as good sense also. Just make sure that when you include the extension as part of your “brand” that it all works together.

4) Getting multiple names-think forward to the future. You may want more than one domain name. Today you might just want to register “cosmoclevelandrealty.com” but tomorrow you might want “cosmocondos.com” and “cosmoindustrialproperty.com” as well. If you anticipate such a need, register the names now, while you still can. Tomorrow they may be gone.

Just remember that your domain name choice is your brand choice. You may be eager to get your presence established on the web, but take your time and find the name that will truly add-value to your real estate marketing presence rather than confuse it.

Another 1,

Always be polite, (when trying to buy a name) Even if they counter with $200,000 , even if they laugh at your offer.

You never know when the seller might need some quick cash.

Worked well for me a few days ago.

Thanks for all the great advice, people. A mentor of mine gave me some good business advice that applies very well to the domainer industry.

Never fall in love with inventory.

Domain names should be thought of like any other commodity... whether it be cows, corn, real estate, or widgets. If a domain is making it's reg fee in earnings, then don't be in such a hurry to sell... but don't ever get married to a name even if it does generate a little revenue for you. Even if you have future plans to develop it into a cool site. Decide whether you are a domainer or a developer. If you're a domainer than you can always find another name to brand your idea with. Never fall in love with a domain name.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=279987

I've learned this from hard experience. There have been many cases of someone offering me $xxx for a domain that wasn't covering it's reg fees but that I thought was particularly brandable. I rejected the offers. Then months later when reg fees start coming up, I'd email them to see if they were still interested in buying the domain. They rarely are, as they went with some other name that suits them just as well.

Don't reject an offer from an end-user banking on the hope that you'll get a better offer down the line. End-users are few and far between.

Also, just to rehash... here are my picks for the best tips from this thread :

SharonTucci : Try and not be a jack of all trades when it comes to domains unless you have incredibly deep pockets to begin with. Try focusing instead on a few areas.

MinionDH : Focus on cashflow. Instead of buying hundreds of names at reg fee - buy 1 solid generic name with traffic (preferably .com - be sure to avoid TMs).

Paxton : Try to get the highest possible rev share from your PPC providers. Sometimes all you have to do is contact your account manager and ask politely.

GiddyUp : Get creative with how you monetize your names - try all the parking providers - the difference can be HUGE. Don't be afraid to try out some affiliate programs out there. Parking Empire offers some great deals from the looks of it and I'm getting excited to try out (btw, no affiliation with them at all) Affiliate commissions will likely dwarf your parking earnings, even with a fraction of the clicks/traffic.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=279987

Centreurope : I would like to add an advice: identify the best sectors in English domain names & buy them in other languages. If I take the example of France, we are about 10 years behind the US. But the trend is more or less the same and it is easy to grab good domain names at reasonable prices and mostly with high potential.

Holdem8 : Once u have regg the domain, use a service such as whypark.com or 1plus.net to park your name. Then build some content there by hiring a ghostwriter in Elance to write a few articles or you can write those yourself. Remember, the going rate is only $15-$20 per article about 600-800 words. Submit your site to all search engines and remember to create a sitemap for better Google ranking. Then submit those articles with very good signature files to as many article sites as possible. You will start earning some $$ and not share the earnings with parking sites(sedo, namedrive, etc)...meaning better earnings per click!

Gazzip : When you get an offer at Sedo look up to see if any other extensions on the same name have recently been taken recently - If so, it gives you a very good idea of who may be making the offer. Google search the registrants name and you can find all sorts out info about them or their company.

Reece : Check resources such as NameBio and DnJournal. These provide a concrete sales history. USPTO.GOV is your friend -- remember that! Don't be a n00b and get into TM or typosquatting. You can make plenty of money in domaining without stooping to that level. 9. Traffic -- The big T! No traffic, no money. Easy as that. If you're name receives no traffic whatsoever, the only way you'll be able to generate income is by selling it. This makes it a less attractive option than buying a name which receives plenty of free traffic even when it hasn't been developed.

Domainbell : read the DNJournal.com religiously... every page on the entire site... and get to the new weekly sales report every Wednesday.... you'll learn what's selling for what by reading there... it's the most wonderful website for domainers on the entire internet.

Pseudo Mod : Believe me when I say domainers are not competition. They aren't buying because they are either broke or not interested in your domain, not necessarily because of you.

Unless the domains are amazing, make a list of everything you want to buy, then review it the next day (or after sleeping for those with messed up body clocks).

Always give one final review to the domains, and select the ones you know your best buyers will purchase - technically these are the only ones you should purchase.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=279987

Forget Overture, it's all about wordtracker, and if you want specifics enter the term in to adwords suggestion tool and get the exact match, forget predicted and go for last months data, if it's got any it's probably worth a buy, if it's 2k+ grab it, if it's 5k+ stop reading and buy instantly.

2 questions to ask yourself:

1 if it's been on X forum for so long, had no bids, price drops, and plenty views - is it really worth buying? [only if reselling, dev'ing is different]

2 are you most likely to be able to move the domain to a reseller/domainer, or an end user, if it's the former then you stand to make little profit, if it's the latter then you know at worst another reseller/domainer will buy it.

Visit the "Domain Name Discussion" Section Regularly and it should be Top Priority Section here on NamePros .
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=279987

Edit:Always keep a pen & paper handy like when you are driving,trying to sleep ,watching tv etc as good domains tend to slip easily from mind and that causes a lot of frustration later on when you finally get time to check for their availability.

More Bumps in the Sales thread degrade value/s of your domains.So,try to mix and match your domains for sale to match tune with the buyer/s.

If you have a lot of domains available for registration then be brave and share some on the forum as it will be helpful for your credit card and also later you will be content that you did spend less and also learn a lot that which domains that you posted for others were really worth registering as they would be scanned by pros from all walks of life.

Well, I guess fell afoul of this one. See my signature, or look at the w-o-r-d-s.com thread here at NP.

My novice observation tells me, that while hyphens generally devalue a domain, they do have their place.

More important, since Google search rankings don't care whether you have hyphens or not, they are great names for developing. In other words, house-loan.com has an equal shot with houseloan.com.

M-i-a-m-i.com sold for the mid-xxx dollars a month or so ago.

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=279987
Perhaps the biggest caveat about a hyphen is that it gives the buyer one more thing to remember. The following example:

beehives.com GOOD

beehives.net Minus 1, because the buyer must remember it's .net and not .com

bee-hives.net Minus 2, because the buyer must remember .net and the hypen.

It's all complicated, but if you get a cheap hyphenated domain, it may well worth it. But, maybe raghav's advice is pretty good until you really understand the market for hyphenated domains.

#155) dotCOM is king, always get the dotCOM (if available) even if you are after only the CC ext.

#156) Get the .net, .org when getting your dotCOM.

#157) always get the dotNET when getting either the COM or ORG

#158) Don't waste your time developing the NET or ORG if COM is way ahead of you of the same niche program. Consider affiliating with the COM jointly

#159) Always get the pre tense, past tense of any name "s" "es" "ed" "ing"

ex: car repair, get: carrepairs, carrepairing, when ever possible.

#160) Do your homework, ask yourself will this name be good for developing? , just flipping it?, niche or catch pharse? Is it good for SEO regardless of parking?

#161) Put your domain to to work -- If you build it, they will come. This is true, even if it is a mini 1 page site. A site with SEO adds value to selling.

#162) A parked domain is like a store with nothing on it's shelves. Develop your name, build traffic and SEO , then consider selling. You can get a buyer easier if all the "hard work" of SEO and link campaigns are in place. Even if it is a 1 page mini site over parking.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=279987

#163) Parking sucks. Unless you have a large porfolio of direct navigation names try to Half Park them by working them.

IMO that depends on the general strength of the name. It's true if indeed the domain is something as strong as carrepair.com. Then you should probably get all three, because time travel to 1999 is risky and you should reg as many names as possible while you're there, or should I say: while you're then. Or more properly in time travel grammar: On-when you're there-then 1999 you should willan-on have registeren many domain names

CarRepairing.com is a fairly weak name though. Leave that out. (Leaven-out)
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=279987

OK, OK, sorry. Seriously:
For weaker names (hand regs), I usually only get the category defining name (or closest) plus sometimes (rarely) the corresponding singular/plural. The defining name is the default form that people use and hence has the greatest search popularity.

For hand regs, I never get anything other than the .com. There are some good .com hand regs still to be found, but they are not strong enough to justify getting various tenses/forms, just the best ones, and not strong enough to justify getting any other extension than .com.
