In the world of selling domain names, the correct wording is called Domain Flipping. And there can be some huge money to be made in doing so. Domain flipping has caught the eyes of thousands around the world and there are huge businesses buying up thousands of domain names for future investments
The 3 main things that primarily make up a good domain name
- The domain names TLD ( The .com or the .org ) Domain names with a .com is the most common and are usually the more sort after domains. There are now thousands of TLD’s
- The length of the domain – How long is the domain name. www.guitar.com will value more than www.GuitarWithBrightStrap.com and guitar .com will probably be valued more than guitar .org, simply because it is a .org
- Organic traffic – Organic traffic is the number of people all over the world typing in or looking up your domain name naturally, For example…” How to change a Tyre ” will be looked up and searched for more than ….How to peel an apple with one hand.
Bidding wars for domain names are huge and a single domain name can go for millions of dollars. ” That’s right ” millions. Here is a video I remember watching when I was first getting into Domain Flipping.
Fairly exciting huh? ” Except for the hideous carpet ”
