Time for Rest and Relaxation

Working hard is a good thing but if you don't take an occasional break, you can lose focus and motivation. I'll be scaling things back over the next week and spending some much needed time with family and friends.

I might post a list or two of alternative TLD's during that time, but I don't expect to be digging for any new .com or .net domain names until I crank things back up around June 20th.

Friday, June 12th is the last day for DomainMassDevelopment.com's 50% off offer. I ordered 15 sites last week and they were uploaded late last evening. I've had very little time to review them but they made a good first impression on me. Plenty of quality photos, videos and targeted unique content sprinkled throughout. The sites are very clean and you'll notice a complete absense of advertising at this point. I want to let the sites age a little and get properly indexed before I begin monetizing them or adding additional content.

Below is a link to the first site. You can view the whole network of sites using the left hand sidebar on the site below.

Big Sur Hotels

I really like the themed network concept and I cannot argue with the price. I cannot even guess how long it would have taken me to build these sites but I do know I wouldn't have been willing to do it for the price they did it for. There's only a few hours left on the 50% off offer.

The email newsletter containing additional available domain names will be back next weekend. If you haven't joined yet, why not? It's absolutely FREE and you can unsubscribe at any time.

Turn Your Domain Names Into Revenue Producing Assets

Mike Cohen and the crew over at WannaDevelop.com are celebrating the launch of DomainMassDevelopment.com by offering discounts of up to 50% off their starter domain development packages. The promotion is limited to new clients and is set to run from Monday, June 8th through Friday, June 12th.

This is a fantastic value considering that the regular price of $999 for the 10 domain package is a great deal to begin with. I wouldn't recommend anything on this blog that I haven't bought myself. I purchased 15 sites early last week when Mike offered me a similar deal to test out his services. I actually paid more per site than the current offer. You'll see a full review of those services here within the next couple of weeks.

It's no secret that a vast majority of domain names will require some type of development to bring out their true revenue potential. We're not all lucky enough to own premium category killer domain names that rake in the cash by simply parking them.

I personally own hundreds of quality keyword domains that contain exact match keywords that receive thousands of Google queries a month. Problem is, they don't receive significant type in traffic. The only way to turn these domains into revenue producing assets is to develop them so that they rank for those exact match keywords. By developing them and harnessing organic search traffic, you transform these domains from liabilities into revenue producing assets. The same goes for the domains that I post here each and every day.

I've already developed about 10 domains by myself. Let me tell you, it's not a real quick process. It takes some time if you're not proficient at web development. I will say, that every one of them now earns their keep. A few of them are now making upwards of $60 a month. Before development, they were lucky to make $1 from the 10 visitors they received a month.

Like I said, it's not easy and it takes some time, so when a professional firm comes along and offers to develop your domains at roughly $50 a pop, you better seriously consider taking them up on it. If not, what exactly is your plan and where will you find the time to implement it?

To take advantage of this offer, simply use the PROMO entry on the DomainMassDevelopment.com order page.

Keyword Data for TRAFFIC’s Extended Domain Name Auction

There are over 5,000 domain names in TRAFFIC's Extended Domain Auction. If you're a potential buyer, that's a lot of domains to sort through in a short amount of time. I decided to trim the list down and run the names through Google's Adwords Tool to try and isolate the domains that have solid numbers in search volume and CPC values.

First, I kept all the .com's and removed all other tld's. There are some fine names in alternative tld's in the extended auction but I really wanted to confine this list to the .com extension. Second, I wanted to try and create a list that would apply to a large group of domain buyers so I removed the high reserve domains, specifically any domain that was initially priced at $10,000 or higher.

I was left with a list of nearly 4,000 kewyord .com domain names with a reserve price of $10,000 and under. Many of them had reserves as low as $300. The last step was to patiently extract the keywords for each domain and run them through the Google Adwords Tool to find the top domains in terms of monthly Google search volume and average cost per click values. I've listed the results below.

Available Domains from April 12th Drop

35 domain names from my watchlist made it through and became available after the April 12th domain drop. There are some really high search volume metrics on some of these namely 90,500 for DrivingVideoGame.com, 49,500 for both SkateboardingEquipment.net and StaffInfection.net, and 22,200 for LuggageSet.net

Highest average PPC values go to HiltonHeadRental.net at $4.42 and FlagstaffHouses.net at $3.57. As always, a park and pray stategy will not likey pay off on these domains but a modest development plan should reward you with some nice earnings in the long run. Please limit your domain registrations to 5 domains per list. Happy Domaining!

Dropped Domains for April 2nd

Until recently, I've always limited my domain drop list research to the .com extension. The main reason for this was that I was primarily interested in domain reselling and the .com extension was what a majority of domain investors wanted. Limiting my research to .com also saved me hours of work scanning through the .net, .org and other domain drop lists.

Lately I've been concentrating more on development so I've also started mining the .net drop lists. Today I picked up PasadenaProperty (dot) net for reg fee. Fact is, there are a lot more high search volume, "exact match" keyword domains dropping in the .net extension than in .com. It stands to reason as "category killer" .com's generally don't become available. For the purpose of development, with a focus on gaining traffic through organic search engine results, a "category killer" keyword .net can fill the role very nicely.

Sure, I'll lose some "type in" traffic to my .com counterpart but the money saved in acquisition costs can be used towards content development and promotion. If you create a continuing flow of organic search traffic, you'll have a domain asset providing residual income that's likely to exceed that of the undeveloped .com's "type in" traffic by a large amount. Just something to ponder for those of us wanting to develop, but don't have thousands of dollars to throw at keyword "category killer" .com domains.
