I own a reasonably valuable two-word domain name (i.e., OceanView.com) that has the potential to attract a wide range of end users. However, there’s a specific high-value net company currently using a four-word domain that includes the same two words as part of their name (e.g., AdultCommunityOceanView.com), and they presumably would be the optimal buyer, as they invest heavily in SEO and own several redirects to their site. Yet, I’m hesitant to approach them directly to avoid any potential trademark issues.
Someone suggested an alternative approach: build a website in an entirely different niche (e.g., whale watching), invest in quality SEO, create valuable backlinks using the same keywords as them, and grow the site’s authority over time. The idea is to add value to the domain and wait for the company to take notice and potentially reach out to me.
To be honest, I’ve never attempted anything like this before. Has anyone tried this strategy or have other advice or insights to share? Your feedback would be greatly appreciated.
