sales A Simple Way To Sell More Domains

It can be the other way round too. Seller list a domain in the marketplace bt do not point the domain to it. The marketplace generates some free visitors to the domains parking page or website from curious visitors from the marketplace listing. How much seller paid the marketplace? Here’s the same answer, zero.

You are much less likely to get traffic traveling back that way......and very unlikely to get a click on an advertisement. Check your weblogs though....

marketplaces like sedo and godaddy get their commissions because they've created the 'go to' market for end users searching for domains to buy because they're the largest and most importantly people trust them. If traffic ends up at my domain and they end up buying another domain at godaddy that's no problem for me because it's also happening the other way around from other domain search traffic.

Creating a market that people will trust and buy from you is very hard to do and would require an insane amount of work unless you have xxxx + amount of domains to build into a marketplace. End users are going to have a very hard time buying from an unknown marketplace.

simplicity is very important to high converting landing pages - keep it simple - just a simple 'buy now' or just 'make and offer' work way better than redirecting all your traffic to numerous other marketplaces.

Domain marketplaces are rewarded on a commission basis for bringing buyers and sellers together and doing whatever they can to ensure a transaction occurs.

true 100% agreed .. thats what you think they are doing,
but do they?


I am happy to pay a hefty commission
for any marketplace that does exactly this

On the individual domain pages have links that allows the buyer to purchase via each of the various marketplaces

thats for sure the most stupidest thing you could do

Great article, thank you!

i would not buy a domain unless it has real traffic the problem is how do you know if the site you are buying has real traffic on it or not? Great article but forgot to talk about how to find out if traffic is real or just bots. really hard to know and the site is worth a lot more with real traffic.

Yes it is difficult to determine bots versus human traffic but not impossible. In fact, I'm currently working on a project in this exact area so that I can score every piece of traffic that hits a domain.
