I'm not referring to low or even mid value domains, but ultra premium domains.
The way I see it, is that these type of domains will
A) get type in traffic, and
B) If a party is interested, they'll find a way of making contact regardless of which landing page is used.
I.e. it makes no difference if the domain is parked to Sedo, Dan, GoDaddy etc.
BUT... I'm curious to if anyone has ever gone to the effort of creating a website (rather than just a landing page) with the purpose of driving organic traffic to the domain with the hopes of attracting more attention to the fact the domain is for sale.
With an extensive background in SEO for 15yrs, I'm tempted by taking this route to sell a 7 figure domain. At the same time, I also know the search intent of the user will not be targeted and that majority of the traffic will be pointless. But there's the small chance that businesses within the same industry will discover the site through organic keywords, visit the site and see the domain itself is for sale.
So whilst I see the pros and cons, I'm actually curious if anyone has ever done this?
