Domain Flipping – Why Many Flipper Fails to Make Money

In the last article titled Domain Flipping 101, I talked about the two different strategies adopted by domain flippers, and the process I discussed may have made it look simple, but there are many potholes in the way, which hinders the growth of many domain flippers. The goal of this article is bring those hidden dragons in the broad light of knowledge, so that they cannot surprise you. This will increase your chances of success.

Choosing wrong domain

This is the biggest mistake a person makes when starting out in domain flipping business. Inspired by cool names like Facebook, twitter, flickr, and Yahoo!, a newbie domain flipper often buys out domains that sounds cool to them (but which is actually useless).

And when they find that the names are not getting picked by webmasters, they become worried. Too much worry for too long a time leads to frustration, which results in their pulling out of domain flipping business.

Choosing wrong extension

This is another mistake that people make when starting out in domain flipping business. In an attempt to get a “keyword rich” domain name, a newbie domain flipper end up buying domain extensions that are worth nothing.

Many people buy domains with extensions like INFO, BIZ, TK, IN, CN, etc., to flip it, but they are often left with no buyers, unless supported by some extraordinary content. This is a mistake. One should not buy a domain that does not have .COM, .NET, or .ORG extension. Others are valid too, but the commercial value of other extensions is not as much as of the above ones.

Wrong niche

Some niches are worth more than other niches. And there are quite many niches that do not have any commercial value. Buying a domain name in such niches is not a wise decision.

There are some more domain flipping monsters that have evaded our sight in this article, but they will not succeed in doing so in the next article.

Retain your .COM & .NET Domain!

Dear Customer,

The Internet started with a bunch of popular domain extensions (.COM, .NET, .ORG, .INFO), and then progressed to the assortment that you now find with various service providers. However, statistics have always been testimonial to the fact that no other domain extension could match the popularity of a .COM & .NET.

It’s now been over 25 years since these domain extensions have been a part of our lives, and has grown to be synonymous with the internet. In today’s time, not having an internet presence is considered not having an identity; which is why, we have listed down some salient reasons why you should never let your .COM & .NET domain expire.

The Internet is .COM & .NET: Nearly half of the world’s population assumes that the Internet is .COM & .NET. When people around the world look up your website, the first thing that comes to mind is www.yourwebsite.com/net. Without a .COM/.NET domain you virtually become invisible to the world.

Reach & Visibility: Having your brand on the internet is the best way to connect & communicate with the masses. Information can be disseminated easily which eventually leads to potential prospect generation.

Personal Identity: Your .COM/.NET domain is an extension of who you are. It helps incorporate your personal touch.

  • For instance, if you’re an avid blogger, then maintaining your own personal URL such as mylife.com is more appealing than having a mylife.blogger.com. This helps add more substance to your online presence and views.

Gone Once; Gone Forever: The after domain market thrives on such expired domains. No sooner a domain expires it gets registered. You might just lose out on your domain forever.

Discounts: We offer you some of the best prices possible to renew your .COM/.NET domain name; and the longer your renewal duration, the better your price gets.

So we suggest you renew all your important domains for a maximum duration.

These reasons are precisely why you should consider holding onto your .COM/.NET domain name.

With the world’s population trying hard to get themselves on the World Wide Web, consider yourself lucky to have your brand associated with two of the biggest domain extensions alive on the internet today.

You already have taken the first smart step by registering the Domain; the next is to Renew it now.

Best Regards,

Gossimer

Domain Name Secret Unveiled

What is a domain name?

Domain name is a unique name given to each of the websites. There cannot be two websites with same domain name.

How to find a domain name?

There are many domain name registration company where you can choose a domain name of your liking and get it registered. The price of a domain name varies from extension to extension. Like .com, .net and .org extension comes for around $10, while .me comes cheaper.

Finding a domain name

Let me tell you that domain names are scarce resources, and almost all the 3 letters name has been taken and so has the four letters one. Hence, you need to think really hard on which domain name to choose. I am giving you a brief checklist below that will assist you in choosing a domain name. Before buying a domain name find the following:

  • What kind of business will you be in?
  • Do you have your keyword handy?
  • Is your domain name easy to remember?
  • Is it keyword rich?
  • Is it timeless? (Example: fifa2012.com will not be timeless. The utility of this domain will be zero after the fifa2012 world cup)
  • Are the spellings correct?
  • Can you find a right domain without using special characters like (-)?

Along with this, you also need to find the kind of extension you need. There are many domain extensions available. Some of them are very good while others are not so useful. If you want to buy a domain name then you should try to get .com for your domain, and if .com is not available go for .org or .net. If none of these are available for the domain name you have chosen then change the name unless you have specific use of that domain.

Country specific domain

If you are running a business exclusively for Indian market then getting a .in and .co.in domains is a good idea, as it is tightly focused on the market it is going to operate in.

Domain Names | Your Visitor’s First Impression!

Do domain names require the same preparation needed for leaving a successful first impression?  If you place a lot of importance on pronouncing names correctly the first time you meet someone, then leaving your visitors impressed by your website would require special consideration of how others spell and, more importantly, remember your domain name.

Memory and spelling go hand in hand when it comes to choosing your domain name.  If you don’t want to lose a lot of visitors, you might have to consider registering more than one!  Take de.li.cio.us for example.  Not everyone can remember where to place each period, so they registered delicious.com as well.  Think of words that can be easily misspelled by simply replacing an s for a z.  I am sure that the owners of deliciouz (a shoe and accessories store in Walnut Creek, California) receive many website visits from people looking for that famous social bookmarking site.  I wonder how many clients they get that way!

Famous domain names are no exception:

Yahoo (and Yahooo)

Google (and Gooogle)

And what about whole endings that sound the same?  A really great example of this is with a media company who saw benefits in using both realize and realeyes.  If you clicked on each link you’ll notice that both domain names host the same website!

You might not have expected that numbers could be relevant, but they are!  Take woot and w00t for example!  For many keyboards, the letter o and the number 0 are right next to each other.  Google probably doesn’t mind, or doesn’t realize that someone might type G00gle a little differently.  It looks like Yahoo considered a numbered Yah00, but choose to make it into an error page.

Lastly, domain name extensions are important too!  Using those two major search engines as our examples again, you will find that Google ending in .net will be redirected to the .com website.  Yahoo, in the same context, sends you to an error page (they want you to get it right!).

You’ll notice with us that we have registered Gossimer.com, Gossimer.net, Gossimer.info, Gossimer.in (in case someone leaves out the fo in .info), and Gossimer.co.in, which redirects to Gossimer.biz.  Gossimer is all about domain names and webhosting (through Linux or Windows Plans), that is why giving access to customers, regardless of what domain name extension they use, is a priority.  With a little bit of foresight and imagination, you too can profit from anticipated spelling mistakes and confusions!
