I've been looking at some domaining videos on Youtube.

[Kuffy]

I'm shocked by some of the advice that is being given, For example - when looking through deleted domain lists, check the age of the name, as that will help with SEO. Another one says that the best way to find good names is to use Google adwords and the registrar search box. It's no wonder that newbies get themselves into trouble.

 

[RegBoss]

I am sure there is lots of bad advice out there. Perhaps they mean using the ad keyword tool in Google Ad words. A lot of people state it is a good tool. I think an ex-employee of Go-daddy had good advice when he said buy .com and your country extension only. All the rest are a waste of money. Registrars push the new extensions because they make boatloads of money from the new registrations. YouTube does have a lot of good information videos though. Just do not believe everything you read or watch.

The rubbish ones seems to get the most views though. Maybe I should focus on working out how they get to the top of the list.

If you are domainer and your target is end user, then these things really dont matter, i agree with you

Depends on when those pieces of advice were given. At one point that was the path to take.

That's how I find all my domains....NOT!!! Yep, some of those videos are a hoot...like the ones that show that a novice can learn to lay brick in just a few easy steps!?!?

I've seen some of these videos from affiliate marketers. Some of these single videos have view counts higher than domain sherpas entire view history.

The fact that I can still go onto GoDaddy and register a $20 domain and flip it for a few hundred (maybe thousands) dollars tells me that these videos are not pointing people in the right direction.

Domain age is a fantastic selling point, but age does not determine overall value as you all know.

 

[Kuffy]

Age dies when the name drops.

 

[Abdillahi Abdillahi]

Age does die yes but some people like to see the history of the name as when it was first registered, what site it had last time etc.

 

[Name Trader]

But using age as a selling point is "iffy", at best, when selling to an end user, and selling to a domainer, is immaterial. And @Kuffy's point about there is no age when a domain drops, is pertinent to his first post.

 

[hookbox]

End users could care less about age. You mention the word age and they say, yeah I'm 34 thanks for asking.

lol... actually the thing with domaining info is that those selling are majorly information marketers....

But domain age is good for SEO. And if they are selling to someone who plans on ranking it plays a factor.

A bit like the Porn views. the stuff that's been seen/read the most was posted years ago

Honestly most of the common stuff asked is all in your hands in the form of statistics...

1)What's the best parking company?

Every domainer has different domains, every parking company has different sales links. So who pays the best and who leads to more sales can all be analyzed by looking at your numbers from an A/B/C/D test.

2)What's the best domain sales page?

Is it your own on your own hosting? https://themeforest.net/item/domain-broker-2-landing-page-to-sell-domains/12578919
Is it domainmarketpro.com?
Is it efty.com? etc...
Few month test will give ya all the statistics ya need.

3)Will affiliate links perform better than Adsense?
test it

etc....

You'd be surprised how simple modifications color, location, etc... can really change conversion ratios.
Trusting your financial future on someones opinion can be dangerous.
People can give bad advice either from inexperience, affiliate link suggestions so they profit, etc...
Run with what works for you as someones opinion who holds different categories of domains, sells at different price points etc... might not be the best advice for you.
Numbers don't lie, test A/B/C/D, analyze, adjust, profit.

Since I started this thread, I've been reading the Google webmaster videos, and I really like them. They are short and to the point, and they have made me aware of quite a few things I hadn't thought about.
