Just checked my parkings stats and thought I would share some of the visitor and earnings data on some recent hand registrations. Like everyone else, my parking numbers are way down, but with the right names it is still possible to cover reg fees and make some money while waiting to develop or sell names in a portfoilio.

The following stats are for the last 30 days.  For comparison purposes I have also included the Google keyword tool search data for each exact match phrase.

1. ExternalDVDWriters.com (Smartshops)

  • 65 Unique Visitors
  • 85% click-through rate
  • $13.07 revenue in last 30 days
  • keyword data: ‘external dvd writers‘ : 590 exact local monthly searches @ $.89 CPC

2. Free800Number.com (Smartname - standard parking)

  • 19 visitors
  • 32% click-through rate
  • $8.54 revenue in last 30 days
  • keyword data: ‘free 800 number’” exact 1600 local monthly searches @ $4.66 CPC

3. ModernSectional.com (Smartshops)

  • 57 Unique Visitors
  • 86% click-through rate
  • $6.78 revenue in last 30 days
  • keyword data: ‘modern sectional‘: 3600 exact local monthly searches @$1.14 CPC

The above three examples have similar metrics to the types of available names I typically post.   If you would like to receive advance notice of these types of available names, you can sign up for my free newsletter here.

Just got back from some time off and plan on blogging on a more regular basis. Here’s a list of names which are available for hand registration at the time of this post. All are exact match keyword names,  many with good demand and cost per click (CPC). They can be used for parking, turn key e-commerce sites, development or end user resale.

If you are new to domaining or don’t have the cash flow to pay $xxx+ for premium names, these types of names can be a great start. Don’t expect to make hundreds on parking or flip for $xxxx, however with a little development these types of names can earn 10-50 times their reg fee on a yearly basis and sometimes be sold for $xxx to low $xxxx to the right end user. Not bad for a $8 upfront cost.

Here’s today’s list of available names….

1. 3GDataCards.com - $13.14 CPC - Might be good for a Adsense driven minisite

2. AutomaticPlantWateringSystem.com - 1000 exact match searches a month, $1.16 CPC.  Good for free Smartname site as Shopping.com (their Feed network) has some good matches for this product.

3. LasVegasRVParks.com - low CPC, but 1600 exact match searches a month.   Might be good for a directory site using software like this.   Get a few incoming links, provide free listings, them charge a small yearly fee (e.g. $100) to be featured at the top.

4. FootballKickingCamps.com - 590 exact monthly searches.  Another good candidate for a directory.   Here is a list of football camps specializing in kicking.

5. WealthManagers.us - The terms ‘wealth manager’ and ‘wealth managers’ receive over 1,800 monthly searches on Google with an average CPC of about $8.

Trying something new today:  $1 Reserve Auction for AffiliateSoftware.us

If these are not to your liking or have already been registered by the time you read this, I’m offering AffiliateSoftware.us at $1 reserve as an experiment.  To make things interesting, I’m including a partial list of end users and my thoughts for possible development.

Auction Details

This is a no-reserve auction ($1 reserve price) being run by Snapnames.    I chose Snapnames for this auction because they allow $1 reserves (unlike Sedo) and they quickly and automatically transfer ownership of the name to the buyer since they are affiliated with Moniker.com.

Auction is set to end on Monday, June 21st.  You can check the current bid or submit a bid here.

Why I like it…

The phrase ‘affiliate software’ receives 9,900/4,400 (global,local) monthly searches on Google with an average cost per click of $4.48. Affiliate software typically sells for several hundred to several thousand dollars.  Although there are a number of third party services which can manage a company’s affiliate program, more and more businesses are deciding to manage their affiliate programs in house.   To do this, they need….  You guessed it, affiliate software.

Development possibilities

AffiliateSoftware.us can be developed into a blog or affiliate software review site (similar to this one).  The $4.48 CPC makes it a good candidate for Adsense, but the best way to monetize will probably be via affiliate revenue itself (as many of the affiliate software companies offer affiliate programs) as 8-10% of a several hundred dollar sale can add up.

End user prospects

This is a great category .us domain and can be easily marketed to end users, many of which are already paying almost $5 a click to advertise on Google Adwords.   Points to  stress are the SEO and Adwords benefits of an exact match domain and well as the ability to set themselves apart from competitors.

Here is a sampling of companies offering affiliate software.   Most of them are advertising on Adwords for the phrase ‘affiliate software’ and are already paying in excess of $4 a click to put their product in front of businesses searching for affiliate software.     Whether you are interesting in building a paid directory, setting up a Adsense type mini-site or selling this name to and end user, these businesses would be a pretty good place to start…

Additional end users targeting this phrase can also be found via this search.

My main domaining focus is domain development and end user resale, but I thought it would be interesting to test Snapnames’ auction platform to sell a few .com product domains directly to domainers. I picked 10 names, all with exact match search demand and respectable Valuate.com appraisals ($200 - $15,000) and entered them into an auction ending tomorrow at 3:15 PM EST.

Submission process

I chose names that were in my Moniker.com account, since Moniker offers an integrated ’submit to Snapnames’ option in their control panel. It took less than 5 minutes to submit the 10 names and all were accepted within 24 hours. I probably wouldn’t have gone to the trouble of transferring domains from a different registrar to Moniker just to use the Snapnames platform, but it is a nice perk to using Moniker.

Breaking most of my ‘end user’ rules

When I market names to end users, I always write a detailed description of the domain and its benefits. I also price most good 2 or 3 word domains in the mid $x,xxx range - especially those with good commercial intent which can be developed as niche category killer businesses.  I typically contact Adwords advertisers, owners of similar names with alternate extensions and businesses who may not yet know the benefits of using a good domain to attract additional customers.

Since the names I chose were geared towards fellow domainers, I opted to skip entering a description (something I rarely recommend) and priced the names with a relatively low reserve price of $68. I was tempted to price them at $1 to attract additional attention, but chose the $68 price point to catch the eye of domainers who backorder names at $69. I didn’t research end users and only sent out a handful of e-mails to the owners of alternate extensions of a few of the names.

The names

I picked product keyword domains which I thought were suited for domainer development - either via traditional minisites or newer product based portals. Many of them have multiple ‘lesser’ extensions taken and several of them have high CPCs which lend themselves to Adsense monetization.  Here’s a screenshot I took using Valuate.com which shows CPC and com/net/org availability.

Valuate.com appraisals

Given past experiments with Snapnames, I would only expect a few to sell but am interested to see if any achieve traction and are bid up to respectable amounts.   I’ve hyperlinked the names below in case you are interested in checking out the auctions…
