I have some great .com names for sale but battle to get any serious buyers for these domains. I had it listed on Afternic.com Domain Auction for some time now without even one bid.
Anybody that can tell me how and where to go about marketing them?
It only costs a few pounds to register your own domain so unless they are really good (which I'm afraid I don't think they are) or already have a site with traffic then I don't think they're really worth anything.
E.g. instead of paying hundreds of dollars for 'MP3Mecca.com' I could pay a few pounds and get 'MP3-Mecca.com' which is still available if I really wanted that name.
If you had 'MP3.com' then I might be interested! But if I was happy with a 2 word domain with MP3 in it then I could register my own.
Well, I know very little about what makes domain names sale-able. I was bored the other week and spent a day checking some out. I came up with a list of about a dozen I thought could be worth more than they were on offer for, but 'cos I have no experience (and even less chance of selling them!) I left them alone.
A domain name only has value if you plan to use it.. I own thousands of the little buggers and I plan to use them all one day.. In the short term they are all hard at work sending traffic to my sites. I doubt I will use them all but names like UKCompetitions.com sat around for 3 years before they got used.. A name like that was worth a good deal of money without traffic, but now it has a site making money and is PR 6/10 it's worth even more.
I picked up Ireland.org.uk a few weeks back, nothing special but a good name.. Funny thing was I found out later it was owned by someone else and has been giving me good PR wherever I point it. Of course not it's on some cottage site.
As for the domain names that started this thread, what a load of old pants they are. You be lucky if you don't just get debt by renewing them every year as no one will want to pay $500 when you can come up with your own names for a lot less.
