has anyone tried or met with success on selling their domain name by promoting via PPC like adwords or overture... for ex...in my example...i have www.SellInAuctions.com and i may sell it. NOw i can create a landing page for this domain...and bid for keywords related to auctions..selling...ebay...home based....etc...and say in my ad that i am selling my domain...maybe i can run a script where people can directly submit their bid on my page itself....just my thoughts.... has anyone else tried this before...pls share your experiences...
If your domain is worth mid 500's (as you're asking) then you could spend anything up to that in ppc and make a profit. Why not try it and let us know how it works for you. For example, you could spend at least $400 in ppc and make a quick $100+. Sounds like easy money. Keep us updated.
I would guess that the keywords you are contemplating using are high bid value words. If you're paying $1-$5 per click with adwords I think you would eat up your potential profit pretty quick. I suppose that instead of bidding on the "auctions" keyword you could bid on "auction domain name" or something similar. Bid values on that would probably only be 10 cents a click.
Raiku and Trivum... you areboth correct in telling it....yes...the obvious keywords will be costly and there will be no profit in going there... anyway...i have planned to develope the site as a ebay sellers profile wherein i will be acting as a seller for other people's second hand mobile phones...more or less like ISoldIT's business model. I believe that this model can have a very big influence here in India with IT people going for more and more new gadgets every other week...so what will they do with the old ones... so..me planning to start off with the classifieds paper ...gotta brush up my telecalling skills a bit more.... anyway...thanx for ur feedback...
