Domainers too are humans

Domainers too are humans and they need to spend sometime with their family. The reason i am saying this is, there is a general feeling among domainers that, “You can find great deals as it is a long weekend in the US”.

I don’t fully agree with the above statement due to the following reasons

1. Its a vacation only in the US. Domaining is global. Probably you can expect a little lesser competition at the most.

2. Most of the domainers are aware of this and would avoid selling during this time. Chances of you finding great names is not that high.

3. During this time, if you happen to find a domain with less competition, you might get sucked into the thought of having found a great deal while in reality you might have just got a decent deal.

4. From my experience, i hardly find great deals during these vacation times. May be i am not in the right place at the right time. Not sure though.

Good luck for finding deals if you can afford to sacrifice your vacation time but it would be real hard to find any life changing deals imho. I am no way suggesting you not to try but just putting my point across.

Happy vacation and Happy domain hunting. You make your own choice.

Today i came across a traffic domain. The domain looked like a solid one for the below reasons.

1. It earned handsome revenue in the last one month.
2. There was enough traffic.
3. The domain was getting expired traffic.
4. The price was cheap.

I have previously made a post about “Guidelines for buying traffic domains”.

I noticed this domain was a proxy domain earlier. But now the parking was optimized for a different niche(a high paying keyword) which is irrelevant. This really turned me away. Parking companies go hard at domains like these. High risk of your account getting closed and due amount withheld.

Domain’s history is a very important factor before making a decision.

While selling domain names on forums or other places the following dos and donts apply. This will make the seller look like a pro and will earn respect from fellow domainers.

Dos:
1. Specify the domain name(s) clearly in the thread.
2. List the registrar and the expiry date of the domain name(s).
3. Put a proper price or atleast a minimum offer.
4. Specify the method of accepted payments.
5. Specify the validity of the offer if you want to make it as a limited time offer.
6. Say who are eligible for the offer.

Donts:
1. Don’t try to be hide any facts. Some newbies don’t specify the registrar & expiry date, when the domain cannot be transferred out due to the registrar policy and the domain is about to expire respectively.
2. Don’t bump the thread before 24hrs which is the normal rule.
3. Don’t encourage unwanted comments on your sale thread.
