Domain Name Investment - Anybody Can Do It

I absolutely love domaining, and do it with love and passion for 10 - 12 hours a day. Every week, I review and search through tens of thousands of generic keyword domain names from expired lists, drop services, auctions, and forums, and register hundreds. Quite often, I end up with great lists of names I simply can’t use.
Domain names have never really been the most sought after investments and that goes for Marketers too. Domain investing has never really been properly understood and the outlying factor that seems to turn people away is the understanding that accidental traffic will be the only visits the site gets, meaning that you can’t really expect to make much in the way of profit.

The importance played on domain names has never been very high as most people including myself thought that for example that PokkyBoy.Ws was as good as Property.Com if they both had identical content. I have recently discovered that this is just a myth and I will start to reveal all with just a few questions on the subject. Firstly Would you consider Google.com or Cellphones.com to be the the most valuable domain name, but strictly on a valuation basis?
Even my dog has just answered Google.com so don’t feel so bad when I tell you that it isn’t the case here and I will explain just why. I think we would all agree that Google is one of the most successful businesses there are on or off line, but how many people do you think put Google in the search box… exactly, it is not often used as a keyword. What this is really telling us is that if you own a domain name you also control the keyboard.

If you just say the word Google, it is one of those words that are easy to remember and cool-like sounding and it certainly lead to me buying a few domain names which were on the same line. I soon saw that these sites were receiving very little traffic and realized it was because people were never going to use these words as a keyword. Google probably had a million dollar plus branding project to manage their success otherwise domain names like this are only like to generate poor profits and would only go for about 2000 dollars at auction.
After taking this into consideration you may just see how a domain name such as Flights.com could create a hell of a lot of casual visitors otherwise known as type-in traffic or direct navigation. If I had to calculate though my own results as well as established type-in click-through metrics for the domain industry, I would estimate an average of 5000 visitors a day for a domain name like Flights.com. This means that you would receive 125,000 visits a month just through type-in traffic. (Find out just how in part 2)…Published Soon.
