Good work - congrats!

 

[Federer]

Thanks.
I know they are small end user sales, but they add up over time.
I am surprised that end users are still investing in hyphenated domains. In general, I get quite a few replies for these if the keywords are good enough.

Do they not have less SEO benefits than non-hyphenated domains?
4 of the above domains had hyphens in them!

 

[Federer]

Yes, they were all outbound, hence the prices.

 

[mat]

Nice! It all adds up!

 

[Sound]

Well done More people should spend the time they have following your example.

Good going, looks like your efforts to drive sales are paying off. Even though the average is low, with enough volume it still adds up to a decent total.

 

[Federer]

Thanks, guys. Will keep churning them out.

 

[deluxedomains]

congrats I always like to see people doing well, it is nice to see your hard work paying off.

as my late dad always told me you get out of life what you put in!

Well done on your recent sales

Honestly you may like to consider doing outbound for some of those listing sections of their portfolios on this forum in recent times.

Good idea.

As they said in accountancy school, the trick is realize you have to be
both a "good buyer and a good seller",
to keep more of the money in-between the cost and the sales price.

Well done on your recent sales, especially in these difficult times.

At £90 a pop, 3 a day would be a take home salary of £50k-ish. Could you eek them up a bit to £150 or so?

 

[Federer]

Will be testing for the rest of the week in the £100-£200 range.

 

[Federer]

Just sold another hand-reg:
DetoxLosAngeles.com

$150.

This is fun.

 

[Federer]

If you don't count my 600 LLLL.org domains, around 400 .COM brands (LFN.com, ThroughTheLens.com, LearningLayers.com, Telenomics.com, BrilliantChoice.com) and around 150 .CO.UK product/service-orientated domains (95% re-registered @ Reg fee).

 

[Federer]

just sold photoboothdallas.com ($1,000) - recent $xx acquisition.

it's never too late to generate revenue in this business.

yes, that one was an inbound lead via parked page.

 

[Edwin]

LFN.com

Very nice 6-figure domain! What a fantastic thing to have on the shelf... Congrats.

 

[Federer]

Thanks!
not sure sure about 6-figures. The Chinese are cherry-picking these at $50k-$65k a pop.

I wasn't going to comment (I have before) but people saying "ooo this is great, well done" blows my mind

It's taking advantage of people who still think keyword domains have the benefit they did years ago

Reminds me of "SEO specialists" still selling directory, article and blog comments

You might as well be selling magic beans

 

[Federer]

I couldn’t disagree more.

Keyword domains still have a certain amount of inherent value, ranking factors aside. Bang on niche keywords still have value because they’re easy to spell, easy to remember, and easy to pronounce. They’re great for branding.

Branding aside, generic keyword domains continue to (and why wouldn’t they) outperform non-generic names by delivering a higher CTR and an even higher number of total clicks in SE campaigns.

Building upon secondary keyword exact-match domains and linking back to the mother site (with quality, relevant content) still produces extra streams of targeted, residual traffic = building web presence and more opportunities for the business to get noticed.

All things aside, generic domain names still perform well, especially in cases where search and domain keywords match closely.

Business lock up keyword domains every hour of every day for a magniture of reasons....
- the domain(s) are relevant to their products/services.
- branding
- keeping the domains out of the hands of competitors
- marketing campaigns (online/viral)
- expanding web presence on a domain that tells customers exactly what they do

and so forth.
