What to do with domains no one wants?

I tried to sell them, nothing...

I tried to devlop them, nothing...

Any ideas on what to do?

Let them expire! Or you may try to auction them off for NP$..! :tu:

 

[sm]

yes!! nothing is ever wasted. this experience will encourage you to get even better domains, and not even look at worthless ones even if someone is offering it to you for free, as it aint worth the headache. so you did get something out of it nothing's ever wasted.

as for the domains, if they dont have development potential, auction them off as one package on ebay... if they dont sell there, sell them for np$ here.

 

[Fleege]

letting a few newbie mistakes expire actually feels suprisingly good.

trust me. I know from experience.

of course you should always try to dump them but you know that since you already know that nobody wants them.

move on. dont look back.

(and dont go back and check them later either. - u just might get really upset - but you probably will just waste time)

Can you let us take a look at them?

 

[armin]

what are the domain names?

 

[cvxdes]

stormkatrina.net
stormkatrina.org

I got them when the storm was big, they were my first ones ever lol

 

[-AB-]

if you want to GIVE away I wouldn't mind taking them. :P

better yet, you could dontate these!

If you think letting them drop feels good, wait till you see how donating them feels

Anybody have any info on a charity auction or the like?

 

[armin]

those are good domains i dont know what you can do with them.

 

[sm]

yes ... stormkatrina.org can especially be made into a charity site .. and in future be used as an alerting service for similar incidents in future (lets hope never)

NamePros will be hosting the 3rd Annual Domains For Charity auction next month. We'll have more over the coming weeks.

^Great, I'll donate if no one wants to buy

I was going to donate it to my school, they started a fund... But they're too n00b to even know how to use one. Plus, I didn't want to look like a nerd lol :P

 

[Epic]

I wouldn't try to make money off a name like that. Just seems kinda wrong :td:

 

[cvxdes]

^Well, I did spend $8 on them. so selling them again isn't a big thing imo.

Donating them sounds like a great way to be rid of them and to feel good at the same time.

Good luck with whatever you decide.

What are the names
Any name Can generate Traffic and income
There is a Secret (not really a secret but is often forgotten)
Subdomains,subdirectorys,content,filenames .

Say you have a domain that is not very keyword friendly
like Fgtrf.com
so just create a few subdomains like
Business.Fgtrf.com
Poker.Fgtrf.com
or some subdirectories and keyword rich filenames
Fgtrf.com/business/business.html
Fgtrf.com/poker/poker.html
put some meaningful content with keywords
Submit to your favourite Search engine
and stand back
don't believe me
Pick a Popular search term like "Poker"
check the first 20 entries indexed by Dogpile.com, a Hybrid search engine
that incorporates listings from MSN,Google,Yahoo and other search ingine
I Can bet you at least one is a Hit for a Subdomain/Subdirectory/Filename/content with that Search term

First ranked should be "POKER.com" right

No out of the first 40 it is 16th place

Of the first 40 ,7 don't even have poker anywhere in the domain Name
19th is Shopping.msn.com not even remotely related to Gambling
others have keyword as follows
3rd is holdemgenius.com (keyword in content)
21st is en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_poker (subdir)
28th is guinnessandpoker.blogspot.com (subdomain)
36th is pagat.com/vying/poker.html (fileName)

Most people in the Hyped up keyword hysteria,grab Keyword rich names for great keyword names but in some Crappy ext.

Type-ins for the .com and maybe .net,.info,.org account for some traffic ,but a lot of traffic generated is by clicking a search engine resultant listing
so poker.crap.com is just as able to be SEO optimised to a good position

Each, or in total? Just wondering who's doing $4 domains, if it's in total.

TIA

Donation is a GREAT idea!

With .net go create a directory of storm related sites
