Domains with link profiles

[martin-s]

As part of a recent project, I've identified a lot of domains with great link profiles. Too many to be able to do anything with really.

Would anyone here be interested in a service which did the following?

• Found expired domains with links
• Listed summary details on a website
• Gave you the chance to pay/bid for the details

I.e. an aftermarket for domains with links that are FTR

There are plenty of DA domains which pass hands for £££ around here. What if you could buy the info necessary to register it yourself for a few quid? Perhaps DA driven pricing..

A listing might be something like:

***.co.uk | Medical theme | 1,348 links | 345 domains | DA38 | MTR 26 | inc bbc.co.uk, guardian.co.uk

Obviously all of the junk would be filtered out. Names would be porn/spam free.


Edit: A better way of explaining this as a backlink domain library, to take all of the hassle out of it for you.

If they are any good why don't you register them and sell them on here?

You would make more doing that than anything else surely.

I've said this before on Acorn, but carrying domain stock is a very expensive business.

Whereas, the information carries an overhead of zero, other than discovering it in the first place (which I'll be doing as a secondary effect on something else).

If they're worth £50, then why not register them and stick them straight onto DomainLore with their link profile in the thread in the "Domain Auctions" section of Acorn?

If they're not worth £50, nobody's going to pay for the information behind them...

Or are they non-generic/TMs?

But you could just register 10 of the best for a year, then you only need to sell 1 for £50 (which should be easy) and you have your money back? if you can't sell the other 9 (which if they are good I can't understand why you wouldn't be able to) then you can just let them drop in a years time.

With the greatest respect, £50 isn't going to excite anyone much.

Let me put the question another way.. If there was a website you could go to when you needed a backlink domain and it was completely free to search, listed domains by theme, with stats - and you only had to pay when you wanted to register a domain, would you use it?

 

[martin-s]

why not register them

See my above comment: I don't believe in holding stock unnecessarily. It just ties up cash from being used elsewhere and pushes prices up.

No, definitely not. I'd need to know what the domain is and be able to check the backlinks for quality, bad neighbourhoods etc.

(Hypothetical but genuine answer as I'm not in the market for domains with link profiles anyway)

 

[martin-s]

Those checks would have been done already..

No, because if you don't think they're good enough to register then I don't think I will want them either.

Not seeing my point about holding stock then!

What stats and factors would you make you buy a domain? In another thread you've said PA 40. Obviously no bad neighbourhoods. Authority links. What else?

 

[spiderspider]

Asking us, here, if we would go to a website that lists domains that we can find ourselves, the answer will always be a big fat no.

However.......

If not here, then somewhere else would. I'm a member of a number of Black Hat forums, and know on one there is someone who is offering a service of 1 domain a month, with at least 1 'major' backlink (like bbc etc). They charge well for this. Its not all .co.uk and is marketed as a way of building your own high DA blog network.

Some sales men can sell ice to eskimos, other choose to sell it in the carribean

 

[martin-s]

These aren't domains you'll find for yourselves. They're not recently dropped.

Your holding stock point is not a problem, as I said, you can register 10 domains and you only have to sell one for £50 and you have your money back.

If they are really any good, you should be able to sell all 10 for xxx and make £1000+

£42 to make £1000+, very nice.

Go with the money.

I would be happy with the following:

Niche
Extension
PR
DA/PA
Citation Flow/Trust Flow
Number of .org.uk .gov.uk .ac.uk pointing at the site
Age
Backlink % indexed
Include a link to Archive.org and first crawled date.
Show anchor text breakdown from MajesticSEO
Number of different referring domains.
Number of different IPs referring.

Probably more.

It's just a different business model Murray. For every domain you don't sell, you need to make another £15 on one you do (assuming a minimal £10 management overhead to register, maintain and review). Sell 1 in 10 domains? That's £150 to break even.

And £1,000 doesn't get me that excited either to be honest..

Thanks for the feedback, but couldn't do these ones.

Age: they're FTR
Backlink indexed: too much hassle to produce
Archive.org link: would identify the domain!

 

[Murray]

Well if 9/10 domains you can't sell, then why would people want to pay for lists full of rubbish?

If you believe in the quality of these domains then you would register and sell them.

 

[topcat]

How much will you charge to 'reveal' the name? I would be hesitant to pay money for a domain that I am not able to look at myself. If your list is so extensive, why not give us one example that you've found?

 

[Edwin]

These aren't domains you'll find for yourselves. They're not recently dropped.

There are other ways to find domains, for example spidering Dmoz and large directories, etc. It's not all about dropping names.
