Hi Just a short post to let you know which Godaddy promo code I currently use. For some time I have been using “DNF2″ which brings the price down to 7.59 all included. I like the code because it is short and memorable I have, however been using another code lately, which saves you another 40 cent. The code is indeed not memorable so if you prefer to use the old code, feel free to do it, 40 cents, however is a great deal if you buy lots of domains. Here is the code: yhkw105a Enjoy your domain buying at Godaddy Read More →
How do I spend an average day working with domains? The first thing I do every morning is to check yesterday’s stats and earnings. This is always fun and it helps me get up on time Thinking about domains always makes it easier leaving the warm bed.. This takes about 10 minutes. The next thing I do is to check my email. My favourite subject title is “purchase inquiry”, although I have to admit it happens all too seldom. Around 15 minutes. Now I go to Freshdrop to scan the daily drop lists, mainly for 5 letter domains, but also for sell able generic domains. From time to time I scan the 6 letter domains too if I got the time for it. 25 minutes. Next visit is Estibot where I as a “domainer...
It is a more than well known fact that pay per clicks (PPC) are decreasing. Income from parked domains are decreasing month by month which makes it harder to find profitable expired domains. In such times you need to be a little more creative in order to change the downward curve. Development has always been the most secure way to increase a domain’s value. By adding content you feed the search engines and in return they feed your site with free traffic. This is why many domainers have started developing more and more of their assets in stead of just passively parking them. But how do they do it and which is the most effective website development tools? When you own a large portfolio like most professional...
I just read one of the best domaining tips I have seen in a long time. It was posted by Jamie Zoch on his blog dotweekly.com which is, without a doubt, one of my favourite domaining blogs. You can read the whole article there, or read my shortened version here: You probably already know the Godaddy domain aftermarket, formerly known as TDNAM. There you can sort the expiring domains list by traffic and price. Godaddy automatically prices their expiring domains by quality, so if a domain is already generating money as a Godaddy parked page it will be priced with a higher starting bid. Often this starting bid is way overpriced and the domain will expire without any bids. When this happen the domain will go through...

I am really looking forward to this January where Whypark is supposed to release their new version of their platform. I think it is going to revolutionize the domain parking industry. The focus is to enable the user to create mini sites in a very short amount of time that will be highly search engine friendly and content rich. They will add a large number of new articles, but they will also change some of the more basic functionalities. You will be presented with a huge set of different templates and have the ability to collect your visitor’s email addresses and send them monthly newsletters. They will also add the ability to submit your sites to directories, create rss feeds, content creation, link building...

So how and where do you sell domain names? You have nearly as many options of selling your domain names as places to buy new ones, but frankly, it is not as easy. The selling part is actually one of the biggest distinctions of domaining compared to other investment models. In the stock market for an example you always have the option to sell whenever you want to, also in bad times when prices are low. Domain names are not always that easy to part with. Often you have to actively market at domain in order to find interested buyers and sometimes that is not even enough. You can be stuck with a domain for years without a single bid and then suddenly get the opportunity to sell with a 5000 % profit. That is both the...
Today I will write a bit about where to purchase domain names. There are a lot of different places you can buy domain names, this article will only present you with the most common places. 1. The first one is of course to hand register a domain name, it involves you inventing a name which is currently available. Such names can be bought at any registrar like for an example Godaddy (remember to use a coupon code, right now I use DNF2). 2. You can also follow the daily expiring domain lists, like many professional domainers do, and then buy a domain name the instant it drops, or backorder it to increase your chances of getting it. 3. At Snapnames, Namejet and “Godaddy Auctions” you will find domain aftermarkets...
Here the other day I stumbled on this cool system called Picky Domains. It is a place where people can get help finding cool domain names. The buyer pays Picky Domains 50$ and they will open an order form which all users can see. Afterwards everybody are welcome to suggest existing available domain names and if the buyer chooses one of your suggested domains you will get paid 25$. If the buyer feels that none of the suggestions were any good he can get his money refunded. That way it is a totally risk free system for all parties, it is free to join and you do not have to invest in any domains yourself. If you are good at finding cool brand names or catchy generics you should definitely give it a go. There are...
