Hi... I'm someone new to domain business... It's like this... I bought this domain in vision to make a cracks site.... JAVASYMBIAN.NET But then, I lost my passion... I want to sell it, but before some one gonna buy it... (I hope so...) It'll be a good idea to park it... But I'm clueless about this stuff... Can someone tell me what I should know? Thanks...
How long is a piece of string? What do you want to know exactly? There are several places you can go online for advice including the link in my signature, which with it being new this blog site, now might be a good time to become a repeat reader there to take you step by step on a journey into the world of domain names. I give it pretty straight in there, with the essentials that you need to know. Kindest regards and best of luck! Mark
I want to know, how to make money with unused(No content) domain. That's for the beginning... And thanks... I'll look into your site...
I'm not sure whether that was singular or plural, as in what you mean't to say, was 'domains'. The short answer is, it really depends on the quality of the domains to begin with. If they're pretty hopeless, your chances of making much money from them will be severely limited. If on the other hand, they are half decent domain/s, you might want to think about developing it/them into websites or blogsites. Given time, this can make a domain name easier to sell of course. Unfortunately, there is no short cut to making a lot of money from domain names. If you need to find out more information, you are quite simply not going to get everything that you need to know from just one thread at this discussion board. What you need to do first and foremost is to read up everything that you possibly can on the subject before you start thinking about buying or selling any domains. There are a few very good places you can go to online for this, the blog in my signature is one such place, or you could head over to http://www.namenewbie.com - there is some good information there to get you started. Then check out http://DNJournal.com and http://NamePros.com and http://DomainState.com to name but a few places. You need to research and read up on this subject until you are absolutely sick and tired of the whole subject, for at least 2 months, every single day for 4 hours a day, without let up. Then and only then will you have a good overview of this subject matter, upon which you are seeking to receive information. If this sounds too much like hard work, perhaps making money from domain names is not for you, but that is not for me to say, it is entirely up to you, just how much you want to learn about domaining and how to turn a decent profit, ROI (return on investment, (for both your time and money)) by participating within this sector. You want to shortcut the process, go to http://DomainsIntoDollars.com (all non affiliate links) and sign up for Phil Craigs program, I think it costs about $40.00 but it is well worth it and will save you a massive amount of time, sourcing all that information from elsewhere online. I'll be posting my own reviews on some domaining products in the next couple of days aimed at new domainers, please feel free to click around my blog site that can be found in my signature. Best regards and I hope that this was / is of some assistance to you and others also. Mark
Short answer is PARK the domain at sedo.com There is no charge but you will probably only get a few cents a month with 1 domain. It probably wont earn its reg fee. While the domain is parked at sedo you can also make it available for sale so if someone likes it there they can make an offer. Your best bet to make money without developing is to sell it.
Again, this will of course depend on the quality of the domain. If's it's pretty naff you can forget getting a decent price for it, especially now, in this economic downturn. At Sedo, even if the domain is of average quality, the chances are that at the very best, you might get a cent or two if you are lucky here and there, but as far as getting any decent monetary return at Sedo via clicks to ads, unless the name is extraordinary, forget it. As I said, if it's of very average quality, develop it. A blog might be the easiest way to go via Wordpress. Pm me the domain if you wish to and I'll advise you further, give you a few ideas etc.
Thank you. This was helpfull... I'm not looking for shortcut really. The domain I'm talking about is there in the first post... Is that a non-quality domain?
Well, the domain for starters is absolutely worthless, so don't get expecting any bid offers at Sedo.com - This domain name actually is made up of not just one trademark violation but to really cap it all, it contains TWO individual trademark violations. "Java" is a trademark name belonging to Sun Microsystems and "Symbian" is another trademark altogether! You will not make a cent on this domain, make no mistake about it. You can read more information about registering trademark domains by clicking on the link in my signature, where a couple of days ago or so, I posted up some instructions regarding the wisdom of registering trademark domains, which will clearly put you in the picture, so that you do not waste your own money, registering these kind of worthless domains, ever again. More information can also be found by reading this recent thread of mine here at DP concerning this very issue: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1088058&highlight=trademark+domains You need to take this advice on board before you open yourself up to possibly getting sued by a major company. Read my blog for further details. All the best! Mark
Thanks Mark... You have been really helpfull... Now, any advice how to "deactivate" that domain? Oh, ya, I've visiting your blog and read all available posts... Sadly you don't offered subscribe to feed via email? I hate those web based rss reader... So do many people... How, convenient it would be if there's a feed via email... And the comments too... How convenient it would be if you also installing subscribe to comments... So, I know if you reply... And so on...
Many thanks, I'll pass those points onto a friend of mine who takes care of all the technical side to my blog sites and ask them, if they can implement these features and I really appreciate you bringing this up! Ok, your question, how to deactivate it, the domain in question? If your registrar has enabled the 5 day grace period, you should be able to delete this domain straightaway, but only if you have registered it in the past 5 days. Typically, at the latest, you'd want to do this on Day 4. This will cost you a few cents, but it is only that, just a few cents, nothing more and then just let this domain go. A credit for the amount that it cost you initially will be credited generally speaking to your registration account with that company (where you registered the domain), freeing up this cash / credit to go and register something more profitable for you at the end of the day. The lesson here is to do your research first before registering any domains. Don't just register the first what you perceive to be, a good one, that flies into your mind. There are quite a few tools you can use and in the coming days and weeks I'll be going into this in a lot more detail on my blog, so do look out for the information. At least on my blog, even if I am rather longwinded at time and verbose, the information there presented for your benefit, is given free of charge, rather than presenting all of it in another e-book, which personally, I can't stand the things, so many of them seem to be full of utter garbage anyway, oversized fonts, basic information etc etc, they drive me up the wall. I will try on my blog to go quite indepth on some subjects and too, whilst the long winded content, original content is good for Google, I will in the future too, be introducing bullet points to convey the major points, much more easily to that my viewing audience can more readily understand and digest the information presented to them. Just one last point, if you are outside the 5 day grace period, set the domain to privacy status and just don't develop it at all. Just let it expire at the end of it's lease period. Again, I hope this was of some use to you! To your continued success! Mark
