Nice sale. Did you email anyone or just put it on Sedo fixed price?

I didn't do anything :)
Put it on Sedo as 'make offer', but indicated my asking price as $299, the offer kind of came out of the blue, I wasn't expecting that name to sell anytime soon, actually registered because I thought of a website idea.

Hi

You're selling these like hot cakes young man :)

PS - are you serious about being only 18 years old?

PPS - also you seem to have the ability to pick a highly knowledgeable section of the market as regards the importance of having a good domain.

I'm 19 had my birthday on the 9th of September...

Yes I feel I have a good knack for picking domains...let's hope this continues ... :)

My goal is $4k more in sales by October 1

Picked up some great names tonight so we will see

That's great. Let's hope by another couple of years you become the Warren Buffet of domaining :)

Are you just finding the buyers from Google searches or any other way?

I use google keyword tool to check results for the term then am linked to results for that term and just contact the end users there. It is never more than really 20 endusers that I've been contacting for my domains ...
It's about quality of the domain and you will get interest!

I run this all thru my iPhone too...

That's correct .... There are plenty good ones out there... It sucks when you see a good flippable name unavailable but it's more so exciting when you see one that is available :)

Again I said my goal is $4k more in sales this week so keep an eye on this thread :)

Great Job!

I'm up registering some great domains right now. It's unbelievable how you can still find great names if you look hard enough . They may not be xxxx searches per month but 100 a month is just fine!

I sold a few for $xxxx that had 90-120 searches per month...

Another thing to look into is how will the company benefit .

Meaning a company that sells $1 items getting 1000 searches per month may not benefit as much as someone getting 100 searches per month but selling expensive items or even recurring items where the lifetime value of a customer is larger. This offsets acquisition costs .

Just a few pointers.. More to come !

4 letter domains ending in X are indeed valuable. I once received an inquiry for oesx dot com, I asked $2,000 and they agreed and paid. Later I found that the buyer was Orion Energy Systems, a very big company of US and their stock trading symbol was also oesx. I regret not asking $20,000

I just recently won oghx.com and have been looking around for end users but haven't contacted them yet. So far googling OGH brings up Old Government House Hotel and O- General Health, o-Global health type names.

What do you guys think of approaching a hotel? Their domain is theoghhotel.com..

Hi, thanks for sharing some of your tips... I did a search for this keyword: WebBasedDentalSoftware and found out that the exact match received only 73 global searches and 58 local searches. I thought one had to get at least 1000 exact searches to ascertain the marketability of a domain name. How come you sold a less than 100 searches for a domain?

Btw, which are you using? exact or broad? And it is also obvious that you do not tick the"Only show ideas closely related to my search terms" Isn't that necessary as well?

Kindly reply as this will really help me shape my method. Thank you.

I use exact search amounts(only check exact search box) and the number is really irrelevant but again all depends on quality of the domain ...

Usually go 100+ range but will go below on occasion...

I will look on google to see if there are advertisers or rankers or both(you see it in their title or description of their ads or SE listings!) and for web based dental software there sure was a few possible end users so I risked the $8 and guess what ? In 24 hours I had made $150-8=$142!

Just shooting out a few emails :)

Also ... Was hoping to get more ... Believe I quoted in the $800-$900 range to try to get him to go down to like $500 but it didn't work...so I tried to negotiate then sold it at what they were willing to pay.

It's a pretty fast process and an easy one with practice and patience...

I've regd all the domains as well hand reg and use a simple website on my phone to check its called instantdonainsearch.com .... Now though google keyword tool isn't working on my phone so I have to go to my laptop for that but anywho I get a general idea of the quality of the domain by who's advertising / ranking for what terms ...

Last important note... A term gets 58 exact searches a month . Are you just going to say ahh it's only 58 potential leads I'm not going to bother branding / marketing / SEO for that term!

NO! Sure you are going to do that because in something like software you usually get recurring revenue from monthly subscriptions or for certain niches its a bigger fee. You've just got to understand the businesses you are trying to sell the domains too .

You know you are doing it wrong when people say "F off!" Or similar things to your domain pitches

You know you are doing it right when they say "thanks for the domains Mike... Let me know if you have any more in the future" (I actually get this)

So any more questions anyone?

Thsnks.. I think I know better now. Thanks for the time you spent on this. So basically, is it the ads showing up that determines that there is a buyer out there? What there are no ads showing up? What will you do?

What if the .net, .org and .com are all taken, what do you do?

When I did the search for your main keyword, I found another kewyord with 4k plus exact global searches and 1k plus local exact match but all other extension has been taken except the .me though some people may claim that only .com or .net should be considered, but I am tempted to register due its dominance in the future of the internet. Do I stand a chance to find a buyer?

I mean sort of ??? It's just you have to have this knack for knowing if its a commercial name or not. Usually there's at least one ad but the majority are in the search results...
I can't tell you that...

I only do .com

Hello, I am currently doing a search for a keyword. For the main keyword ther where ads displayed and I decided to narrow it down but didnt see any ads. I do see that people are trying rank for this keyword and its related keyword.there is also alot of google places displayed.

What do you think?

This is the question I have been trying to get answered for the past week. No one would or could not answer it. The question was what is considered a good keyword (google adword) search result range and what is considered a "fair" search result range. I see here that you've touched upon this. Thanks. I have always wondered what was considered good but have never got anyone to tell me. However, I didn't know that 100 was worth bothering with.:o
