Promoting your domain name using Yahoo (Experiment)

    I took the advise of someone on here and decided to try and see what happened when I used keyword marketing to advertise my domain name for sale.

    I tried Yahoo Search Marketing

    So far I have not had any offers but click thrus have gone up to almost enough to pay for the ad.

    I listed Commercial.bz as "this domain is for sale" with a click that directs to the webpage itself.

    This started yesterday.

    I set my bid at 0.15 for the keyword "Commercial"

    commercial.bz (Keyword) "Commercial" (Unique clicks) 64 (clicks) 5 (Average Click return) $0.78 (Click rate) 7.81% (Total Earnings) $3.91

    This is from one day. Budget set to 5$ per day to run 4 days.

    So far a loss of $1.09 Guess thats not so bad for the added exposure.

    Help others and get a good domain name for doing it


    DOMAIN STATISTICS:

    * Data from the previous 32 days

    Wondering what would happen if I decided to market one of the domains that have a top 10 keyword? Do you think the return would be less because of the increased competition and decreased exposure?

    Do you think Google has a better return?

    Is this exposure worth the cost?

    Just putting up research and questions.
    Thanks all
