Where are we heading with NNNNN.coms
I don’t know where are we heading with NNNNN.coms
I see many 5N.coms dropping everyday though they are being caught instantly.
I see many sellers selling 5N.coms for $10 each which have almost a year before they expire.Could someone throw some light on it
- I’ve done pretty well with my NNNNN.com’s in terms of traffic and sales. Given that they haven’t risen as much as I expected, I have sold a number of them and put my better ones (about 500) on multi-year registration. Given the overall economy and domain market, I wouldn’t expect any short-term movement of any significance, unless there is a big breakthrough in numeric domains (mobile searching using numerics, Chinese market rapidly expanding, etc.), which could happen any time.
NNNN.com on the warpath
For the past couple years 4-digit dot com names have crept up slowly in price, from about $200 each to $300 or so each, where they stalled for a while. Now, finally, they are starting to explode in value. I just finished an analysis of reported sales of NNNN.com names over the past few months, and the results are astonishing!
tips on how to pick names for domain parking
Today I am going to give you a few more tips on how to pick domain names for domain parking. But first I want to dispel a few doubts about the technique of putting a “www” before the domain name and without the “.” (for example registering wwwauctionads.com). The process will only work if the underlying site is popular and has lots of visits (check the Alexa ranking of the site). In my example auctionads.com has a ranking of 2632, which would be a good rank for this technique. Also, when using this system, it is of no use to register “www.wwwauctionads.org”, since the original site is a “.com”.
Another tip to pick up good domain names is to pay close attention to what is happening in the country where you live with sites that have a country ending, like .de, .at, .br, .es. Here is what I mean. I was searching Alexa ranking for “.at” sites (.at is for Austria), and I registered a few of the top “.at” sites as “.com” and they have done really well for me. This works especially well because the “.com” is where your browser will take you by default if you just type in a name on the browser. Like if you type “adbux” on your browser you probably wanted to go to adbux.org, but your browser will take you to the parked page of adbux.com. Which is actually kind of funny since I just noticed that adbux.com is a parked domain on NameDrive (I recognize the template). This is even better since all things being equal, the “.com” domain name is more valuable that any other one.
Making money with domain parking takes some time
I am going to start this blog today by repeating something I have have already said before. It is not possible to start making a lot of money on the internet in a short period of time. If you are looking for get rich quick schemes than you are wasting your time, and eventually your money, since the internet is full of “gurus” trying to sell you these schemes.
I have also read somewhere, not exactly sure where, that 99% of all domain currently registers are then canceled. Yes, thats 99%! By this I am trying to tell you that if you registered one, two, or three domains, and haven´t had any luck, that is not a reason for you to quit. For me to get to the $1500 I made from domain parking last month took me about 9 months, and I have done it gradually. I have also purchased about $1000 worth of domains over the last few months that bring is about $120-$150 dollars a month. It will be very hard, especially at the beginning, for you to find domains that will give you a lot of money per month, so its really a question of giving this activity some continuity.
