A rule of thumb that I follow is when I purchase a domain name I have to believe that I can flip it
for a 100% profit. So if I spend $500 on a domain I need to feel like I can sell it for no less than
$1,000. This way, even if I’m wrong in my estimation I still have some room to still turn a
profit. And if worse case comes to worse case I’ve sold domains before for a $0 profit (it
happens even to the best of us).
You have a domain name that you are either considering buying or placing a bid on, or you
already bought the domain. You want to scout prospective buyers of this domain. What do you
do? There are two approaches that everyone should take which are major, and then a whole
bunch of minor ones that may work out once in a while. Let’s talk about these two major
approaches. The first approach is to get to Google and type in your domain keyword. Meaning,
if the domain I bought was BlueCars.com than I’d go to Google and search for the phrase – blue
cars. See who the natural search engine results are. See who is paying to advertise for this
keyword. You can either grab all those website URLs and check the Whois data to get the email
address of the owner, or you can visit those sites and see if they have contact information. This
first method provides you with some great potential leads. These are people who are either
spending bucks to advertise for this term or people who have focused their SEO efforts on this
term.
The second major method is to find out who owns all the other domain extensions for this
term… meaning if I bought BlueCars.com than who owns the .net, and .org, and .eu, .es, .info,
.tv, .mobi, etc… Because the .com domain is king, and if given the chance, most smart people
would upgrade from a .net to the .com. By finding out who owns all these domains you’re
getting another list of potential buyers. You should also consider who owns the hyphenated
versions as well, i.e. blue-cars.com, blue-cars.net, etc… You can do this manually. You can
use a site like LeadRefs.com to help you with this (they allow a few free searches per day and
then they want you to subscribe). Or if there’s any other good sites that do this out there you can
use them too if you want skippy. Read More of this...http://www.anticareer.com
