How many of your registered domains are not connected to a website?

[Traktorn]

This is just something I'm always curious about.
How many of your registered domains have no website connected to them?

And let's not count the "This domain is for sale..."-generic websites. I count those as not having a website.

Looking at my own portfolio I would say it's about 50-75%. Mostly non-english variations.

What's yours?

Why do you want to know or this is just another time wasting thread?

 

[Traktorn]

Ah, the wonderful directness of the internet.

Fair enough;
There are a lot of things I would like to know.
Does adding website to my domain names increases the value of it. Or is it the other way around?

Looks like a perfectly legitimate and interesting question from Traktorn.

I think it's a good idea to have a website on the domain. Then you are not just selling a domain but you are also selling a website. Even just one page with some pictures and text. Biggest benefit is it will get indexed on Google.

With AI now, it's very easy to get some good text for a webpage. So it would be very simple, nice text from AI and some pictures.

That’s a great point! Every single word generated in my sales pages for ---- 100% made by Dynadot.

Didnt add 1 word! still not site, but today’s tools easier.

That's pretty cool.

Do you put your entire portfolio on Dynadot? And have these kinds of "This domain is for sale" on all of them?


Is that better than having a WordPress site on the site? If the idea is to flip the domain.

I wouldn't use WordPress for a single-page website. In fact I wouldn't use WordPress for anything, I write all my sites by hand. One page of HTML for text and pictures is very easy to write and upload to a host. You could make a simple template for it and use it for all your domains. I imagine a one-page WordPress website would probably be 400 pages of code and sixteen truckloads of Javascript (one of the main reasons I don't use it)!

 

[Traktorn]

That sounds reasonable.
WordPress is a bloated pain, I agree.

And doing so, upload a simple template, would be better than connecting it to a "for sale"-page on (for example) Dynadot?

I can't speak about Dynadot, I've never used them or any holding page. Much much better to have your own website, I would have thought, even if it's just one page with some text and pictures. I would put a "this website is for sale" notice on the page, so you're also advertising it for sale at the same time. I am currently doing that on this site https://regisearch.co.uk/

I used an image to advertise it for sale, didn't want the "this website is for sale" text to get indexed, although I don't know if it would make a huge difference to Google, but as ever with them, you never know.

I've had a few enquiries from it.

Hi

i've done exactly the same thing, with some variations, as you indicated above.
ie:
sop.net
reusableconstructionmaterials.com
greenfriendly.com

some of those earned a few bucks with w/adsense,

but as domainers, the main directive is to buy and resell, without having to do the extra work of attaching websites/webpages to each name.
also, buyers are interested in the domain, and we sell them, as is.

i wouldn't use ai to create content, because it's redundant across the net.

imo..

 

[Traktorn]

Makes sense,

Smart regarding the image. I'm also paranoid about Google.

Biggie: Sop.net looks nice and informative. Good idea.

 

[Traktorn]

Thanks for the replies and the help!

Hi

As Tony Twitter says, spending time developing websites for your "for sale" domains is a huge waste of your time that could be better spent searching for new domains, evaluating your current portfolio and responding to new and old leads.

There is no "special sauce" that automatically increases sales - the domain business depends entirely on having an active buyer and he or she will be interested in the domain name for their own specific use, not because of some fancy site you developed to hype it up.

KISS

Hahaha, no, unfortunately not
