Please contact us at ImpressiveDomains.com. We would be happy to assist you in the sale of your domains. We specialize in premium domains, and have a large network of professional buyers that we deal with.

We’ve been a major player in the market for a number of years, with many sales in the six figure range (wallpapers.com, aos.com, everybody.com, cairo.com, blueberry.com, and MANY more). Most of our premium domains never get listed on our site, and most of our sales are never reported. Why? Because the investors we deal with don’t like the publicity – they like to do their thing without drawing attention to themselves. So if you want top notch service and guaranteed results, give us a shot.

To the readers of this forum: Here’s the deal with valuations: Traffic = Money. Professional buyers aren’t concerned about the price as much as the ROI – and with an average of 22% return, you can understand why there is such a frenzy.

I’ve got about half a dozen domains lying around that could be worth a small fortune. Any suggestions on where is the best place to either sell or lease them?

I have been seeing more and more context about this domain industry.

To get my feet on the ground ……….. in the last week I have had unsolicited offers for a common word name (www.sternum.com)

$25
$10
$135

So I think there are few trolling purchasers out there hoping to get a bargain!

Remember, StinkyNinja.com has the world’s first Andy Lawrence fan site, plus one of the first 5 JTT fan sites. Serious bids only.

I bet .gov is Not bad – but I never had one ( heh

Demand Media is making a huge push on it and I rescently sold more the 16k worth of .tv names in the last 6 weeks. I also have been getting a lot more offers on some of my better names like Laptops.tv & Opportunity.tv, but at Qoof we have huge development plans for them.

One thing about the “right” domains (I.E. Good Generic Search Terms .com) is that the traffic that goes to those pages is highly monetizable and targeted. Why do you think Google and Yahoo provide the ads for the CPC pages that go on the majority of these domains when in fact it’s competing search traffic? The traffic converts much better than their own organic search results is why.

This is also why even though we consider ourselves a “Web 2.0 Startup”, we balked at going for one of the trendy voweless domains that most others are choosing and went straight for a good two word generic that means exactly what we do.

Admit that such a domain name is worth more than the $ 20 I give away every year to the parking company, huh!
Nice post. I feel better now Duncan.
Have a nice day.

I think single-word domain names are somehow overrated (Pets.com for example?). Domains that are, or derive from, verbs or proper nouns offer very little help in branding. In fact, they can drag a business down to being confusing and forgettable.

But anyhow, buying domains and trying to foretell if they will sell is sort of like gambling, it’s simply unpredictable.

The only reason domain parking is profitable is that the “squatters” get the names at rock bottom prices from the registrars.

You should correct your post to reflect that.

Last week some $10 million changed hands at auction for domain sales, with 16 domains being sold for 6 figures. Free Credit Check.com & Credit Check.com sold together for $3 million, although as the DomainTools Blog points out this was at a relatively …

I own over many domains and revenue has been trending up for years and that should continue as long as:

1) population is growing

2) the % of the population using the Internet is growing

3) the economy (and advertising) is growing

4) the % of ad $ spent on the Internet is growing.

That a perfect storm and people have been blind to it or poo-pooing it for years and many still do. Probably the same people who sat on the stock market sidelines until March of 2000, when they leveraged the house to buy momentum stocks. And probably the same ones who were renting all through the 1990s and early 2000s and then finally decided to buy that condo in Miami in 2005.

Not saying there won’t be a speculative peak and a “top tick” sale to ring the bell at the peak of this cycle, there will be, but the trend should continue up over time. Wash, rinse, repeat. Same as always.

A big question is the domain name registrars and what they will do with prices, regulations, etc. All it will take is some greed from the registrars and/or some sour grapes from connected people who want to take names they failed to buy when they had the chance.
