Completely New, Please Appraise my 5 Starting Domains

uprightnetizen · 07-02-2009, 03:38 AM

I'm a programmer, done some internet marketing (so not a complete noob), but never thought of selling domains until today. So I was thinking of Clickbank etc. while I came up with the following domains.

Here are the domains I bought with the reasons I think they'd sell:

formalgarments.com - People searching for formal wear might use the word garments instead of clothes... hence formal garments
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/domain-appraisals/593829-completely-new-please-appraise-my-5-a.html

tealoss.com - surprised it is free, considering all the tea weight loss products out there

fartingproblem.com - think of all the wives googling the keywords "farting problem" to get advice on what to do with their husband's flatulence

acaipost.com - Just thought of words to go with Acai. Post is a popular word because it could mean blog-post / trading-post... whatever

webcardmaker.com - I never did anything with this website - I was going to program a webcard generator. I'll also try selling it I guess.

How much do you guys think each are worth? Any advice/suggestions are also welcome for helping getting started in this. Thanks in advance.

EDIT 3 hours later - Ok, maybe I am a complete noob. I didn't know anything about Google keywords exact match score... until reading a post in another thread. So even though formalgarments.com sounds nice... with an exact match score of 12 maybe it won't sell. I was hoping to sell one of these domains(undeveloped) for maybe $30 or more, but maybe I won't be able to.

yea, they are not horrible as brandable domains. but not tied to search terms hurts. you will probably need to develop them

BTW I'm a programmer, who also runs marketing for my company. Maybe a ning.com group or wordpress site would do the trick. Get a couple users, then try to sell them

Thanks for the suggestion. Getting users/traffic has been a problem for me in the past on my blogs and user-generated content sites, and that's why my affiliate marketing hasn't been successful. Hopefully with some AutoIt scripts I'm writing, I'll be able to fix that soon.

When searching for domains by hand, I'm now trying to find a nice balance between brandable domains that can fulfill a need and ones with existing search traffic. Easier said than done... but that's my new goal.

Create minisites, minisites are key.

welcome to the community!

these are not the best domains i've seen, but they are certainly better than the ones i registered when i first started.

fartingproblem.com and acaipost.com can be developed into some advice websites on farting problem and acaiberry diet...

good luck
