Hi everyone. I am trying to get into grabbing some expired domain name. Well, some domains seems good to me as they are currently having google PR and/or some back links in the major 3 search engines.

Yup, I am quite surprise to see that those expired domain are having some back links and even google PR. Most likely the said domain is just expired few days ago, and search engine have yet to synchronoze their data centre on this domain status change.

So now, if I were to grab and register these domains before the effect of expiration took place, would I be able to sort of "securing" the PR ? meaning the PR wouldn't drop?

What about the existing back links? Would it be still in effect?

In order to have a better chance of selling your domain you need to show that a potential buyer need your domain. You ned to generate an interest. Luckily, we have some things we can do to improve the interest.

Most buyers look at two things:
- The domain name.
- Traffic.

The domain name is fixed, we can't change that. Some domains generates more interest than others, the domain abc.com would be much better than woodenoakfurniture.co.uk.
Having said that, the domain name is not that crucial, I managed to sell a 14-character domain name with a hyphen at $100, so you can still make some nice money even if the domain name is not a niche domain name.

Which brings me on to the next subject, traffic. This was primarily why the domain went at the relative high price. The thing any webmaster wants more than a good domain name is traffic, therefore always provide stats from a reliable source. I generally accept the most popular stats services such as nedstats, extreme tracking and google analytics. Although I don't rule out services I don't know if they appear to be geniue.

You now have the basic layout of your sales speech, most buyers would be satisfied with knowing just this, but we're going to take it just a bit further. Because we know, that the one thing more interesting than traffic, is targeted traffic. Therefore I suggest your write a short description of what you used to have on the site, that way a buyer can see what sort of traffic he is dealing with.

It's important to note though, if it's not the right traffic he might not make a bid, but if it is the right traffic he'll go over the edge to make sure he gets it.

I hope I inspired you to write a proper sales speech, in the end it will benefit both you and the buyer.

I bought this domain because I thought I could build a website for a list of forums by subject. But frankly, I don't have the time. So if someone wants to buy it for $15, they can have it.

Hi everyone. Good day. I am always wondering if anyone here got the luck in having a single word domain? Like internet.com, news.com...etc ? Back then when domain name was still a very raw virtual property, how would anyone actually willing to pay a hefty price for this type of virtual property. Well, if I remember corectly, the domain proce was like USDxx range isn't it? Plus the yearly renewal fee, it would have comes to quite a sum.

Hello everyone. I just reached here today. I was wondering that with all those great deal offer by the domain registrars like 1and1, registerfly...etc, with their promotion price of cheap domain regostration eg $2.99 for .info has been going like hotcake! How could they still make money and earn profit?

So, what the actual cost to these domain registrars that they could still afford such low price? eg :-
1. Actual cost for .com?
2. Actual cost for .net?
3. Actual cost for .info?
4. Actual cost for .biz?
5. and so on?

or is it possible that these registrar are still under cost? Anyone has a good idea?
