I need help from the pros...the NamePros that is.

[primavera]

I want to buy a domain or two that makes $100-150 a day from PPC due to unique type-ins with no TM issues. How much should I be willing to spend and how many months of stats should I ask for? I have an idea of what to expect but I would like to hear from others that have either bought these types of domains or currently own them. Specifically, a price they would expect for them, even if they are not for sale. I just don't want to get burned. Please PM if you don't want to post.


Thanks,

Make sure you go to a GOOD lawyer who can draw you up with contractual safeguards. If you are dropping that kind of money on a domain, you should be able to afford $2k in legal fees.

Better, if I was SELLING a name that I legitimately thought had a chance in hell of continuing (Or GROWING) those kind of numbers, I'd be looking at 4 - 6 years revenue +/- a constant for the associated risk factors.
AKA - If it's a "fad" topic, then - some constant. If it's a "finance" topic or an old standby (Sex ), then + some constant for my own risk in giving up the domain too early.
Somewhere near $300-$400K
I do NOT have a domain that routinely sees anywhere near those numbers, however

PPC revenues are not a safe bet. PPC is highly subsceptible to falling apart due to click fraud. Safer to invest in good domain names. IMO of course

All of you gave some great info! Gonna spread some rep if I can. Maybe I'll start by getting a domain that makes around $10-$20 a day and take it from there. Now if I could only find the PERFECT domain.......Easier said than done. Fonzie, getting a lawyer to oversee the details is sound advice and I will go there if need be. I think I can take it from here....Thanks Namepros dudes!

Well of course - In a perfect world , You'd love to get it for as little as possible ....

But in todays market - and assuming everything is easily verified over a long term basis (Income/Traffic etc ...) Don't expect to pay less than 2-3 years income for it at the least. Some out there will still find some on a quick sale deal for a years income - But don't count on it

It is a dangerous game to play now a days - But I'm not that scared of PPC really. I know from experience a decent name making "X" amount of dollars parked with "X" amount of traffic can do a bit better if developed. There are some parking companies out there paying a decent percentage of the cut - But most will never beat placing your own ad code on a dev'd site IMO. If anything scares me about this part of the industry - it is the Traffic. Even with access to the best stats out there , there is always a chance they can hide the true Traffic source.

So just be careful :tu:
