Huge Profit In Domain Names

Huge Profit In Domain Names by Jeff Hansel

Dear Internet Entrepreneur, If you’re ready to discover the best kept money-making secret on the Internet and find out how you can join a select insider group that’s consistently raking in monster profits using a simple, repeatable process, then take 7 minutes to read this letter carefully because we’re going to open your eyes to some amazing facts.

You might have seen the articles published in the Wall Street Journal or Business 2.0 magazine about how a few people (we call them “domain profiteers”) are making fortunes from investing in Internet domains and either holding them for passive income or reselling them for huge profits .

Forget condos and strip malls. Domain names, the real estate of the Web, have been delivering far greater returns.” “Parked domains may become a billion-dollar industry, both for paid search operators like Google and Yahoo as well as a new breed of Internet real estate developers.” Internet domain names are a hot commodity again. But unlike the 1990s, when speculators bought up Web addresses in hopes of reselling them later for a big payday, many of today’s purchases are aimed at cashing in on the boom in online advertisingThe domain name is 21st century real estate,” says Warren Adelman, president of GoDaddy.com, the world’s largest domain name registrar, with 12.9 million.

“The economy is being increasingly driven by the Internet sector”

Richard Rosenblatt is a brilliant Internet entrepreneur. You may not know his name, but he’s sold $1.3 billion dollars of Internet companies including iMALL which he founded, ran and sold for $565 million, and MySpace which he turned around as Chairman and sold for $580 million.

He’s a smart guy who has made a huge fortune on the Internet and even he didn’t know anything about this for a long time. But now that he’s discovered this opportunity, he’s completely focused on turning this into his biggest business yet. He’s raised and invested hundreds of millions of dollars in this. But the most amazing thing is that you and I can not only compete with… and beat… the huge players like Rosenblatt’s company, but the big boys are actually part of the driving force that will help you and I to make huge money.

There’s 2 simple reasons for this. First, the multi-million dollar guys are not paying attention to bargain hunters like us. They don’t have the time to worry about finding cheap domains for a few bucks even if they’re really worth thousands of dollars. They want bigger investments to put all that cash to work.

Which brings me to the 2nd reason. When you’re ready to sell your domains for the true market value, it’s those big company guys who are the primary buyers and they’re the ones driving up the value for everybody! If you’re not excited by now, you might want to grab a mirror and see if you’ve got any breath coming out to fog it up.

Don’t just sit on your butt and watch other people go out and start raking in the big bucks with these domains. Don’t let this be another opportunity that you let slip through your fingers like those old guys who reminisce about how they could have bought some farmland in the good ol’ days for a few hundred dollars an acre years back. Then, they could have been the ones to sell that land to the mall developer for millions of dollars!

Think about this… these are the good ol’ days that people will be looking back to in 5 or 10 years and talking about how smart someone was who purchased this or that domain that’s now enormously valuable!

Moniker Sells Three Domain Names for over $100,000 Each

by @ Thursday, December 28th, 2006. Filed under Sales, Moniker

Moniker has sold three domain names for over $100,000 each including two two-character .com domains.

The latest domain name sales report from DNJournal shows the domain name industry is ending the year with a bang, thanks in part to domain name company Moniker. The company brokered three domains for over $100,000 including Partners.com for $130,000, and FJ.com and TJ.com for $105,000 each.

Moniker has had a record year in 2006. It is now a top 10 registrar in terms of domains under management and oversaw the biggest live domain auction ever, tallying up over $5M in sales.

In other interesting domain sales news, domain name flippers should rejoice about the recent sale of Announce.com for $90,000. The seller of the domain had purchased it for only $5,000 a couple years ago according to DNJournal. There’s still ample opportunity to buy domains at wholesale prices and sell them to end users. It just requires some capital and the ability to hold onto domains for several years until the right buyer comes along.

eBay even got into the domain name sales action this week. A buyer chose “BuyItNow” to pick up SingleMen.com and SingleWomen.com in a package for $80,000. eBay usually isn’t a good venue for quality domain names.

A thread over at DomainState suggests that Candle.com sold for $390,000 recently to PetsUnited. The sale was briefly listed on Afternic’s sales page before being removed. The same thing happened on a previous sale to PetsUnited, Farm.com.

Verisign and Demand Media to promote .tv sites for video

by @ Wednesday, December 13th, 2006. Filed under .tv, Verisign

The former chairman of MySpace.com is throwing his weight behind the ‘.tv’ domain category, betting that it will gain popularity as more users watch, create and post videos online.Richard Rosenblatt’s Demand Media will unveil on Wednesday a deal with Internet security and dot-com registry VeriSign to begin marketing .tv as a preferred website domain for online videos, in the same way .org is used for non-profit groups.

Users can begin registering domain names from Demand at ChannelMe.tv on Wednesday.

Rosenblatt’s broader plan begins next March, when Demand will provide users with Web software to upload and share homemade videos, grab professional content from licensed sources and blog - potentially creating their own mini MySpaces.

‘Video is becoming more personal,’ Rosenblatt, chairman and chief executive of Demand, said in an interview. ‘It’s less about the big amorphous Web sites and more about people creating their own channel.’

The explosion of video-sharing sites like YouTube, which Google purchased for $1.65 billion in November, highlight a growing interest in creating and viewing video on the Web.

Santa Monica, California-based Demand hopes users with .tv addresses will link them to pages they have already created on sites like MySpace or YouTube in order to simplify Web addresses that are otherwise hard to remember.

To date, .tv attracts mostly vanity Web sites and the odd Hollywood media site.

It has nowhere near the popularity of ‘.com,’ which is attached to nearly 60 million domains, according to VeriSign, the biggest company acting as a middleman for setting up such domains.

Rosenblatt is best known for brokering the sale of Intermix, which owned the popular social network Web site MySpace, to Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. last year for about $580 million.

In November, MySpace and other Fox Interactive Media websites collectively surpassed sites owned by Internet media leader Yahoo! by US page views, according to comScore Networks, an Internet measurement firm.

Fox sites had 39.5 billion page views, compared to Yahoo sites’ 38 billion views, according to a UBS report on the comScore data.

Rosenblatt launched Demand Media in May, backed by about $220 million in funding from venture capital firms 3i Group Plc and Oak Investment Partners. Spectrum Equity is also an investor.

His company has been snapping up small Web companies since May, including Hillclimb Media, which hosts travel, sports and outdoors sites, and website registrar eNom.

Demand Media aims to profit from buying up what is little more than unknown billboards sites on the Web and relaunching sites like Grab.com, CasesLadder.com and flashgames.com with social networking and video capabilities that serve niche interests.

News Related to the Hosting Industry

Cambridge, Massachusetts - (Cheap Web Hosting Directory) - December 11, 2006 - Domain name companies, Sedo, and Dotster, have partnered to offer customers, one-click access to Sedo’s domain marketplace or brokerage service for previously registered domain searches.

With the amount of unregistered domain names decreasing everyday, a quality domain name is becoming ever more difficult to find. Integration with Sedo’s marketplace helps Dotster overcome this obstacle and offers their users a second chance at acquiring their preferred domain name even if it’s already registered.

With this agreement, Dotster’s customers will have instant access to Sedo’s market leading database of more than six million aftermarket domain names, more than tripling the chances a name will be available for purchase than through the secondary domain market services Dotster previously offered. If the name is not available on Sedo, customers will be directed to Sedo’s brokerage services to help a buyer locate the domain’s owner, negotiate fair market value and legally transfer the domain.

Clint Page, CEO of Dotster remarked, ‘’Offering Sedo’s domain marketplace services was an easy decision for Dotster — it provides our customers with the largest amount of choice and the most experienced brokerage services in the industry.'’

Sedo’s partnership with Dotster marks the fifth such integration of its secondary domain name marketplace at a major registrar this year. In Q3 2006, Sedo sold more than 1,200 domain names through the registrar channel, resulting in significant new revenue for Sedo’s registrar partners and more transactions for Sedo’s domain sellers.

Jude Augusta, Director of Partner Development for Sedo added, ‘’Registrars like Dotster realize that the market landscape for domain names has changed; no longer can most businesses and consumers find the virtual real estate they need among the dwindling supply of unregistered domains. To solve this problem, Sedo offers registrars and their customers access to the largest collection of premium domain inventory on the Internet with a simple one-click access.'’

Dotster provides a full suite of Internet services to helps its customers turn domain names into successful websites. Recently, the company added several new services to its core hosting suite, including MyInternet, a custom website design service and Local Site Promotion for regional businesses to effectively utilize search engines. With nearly three million Internet domains, Dotster is one of the largest ICANN-accredited domain name registration and hosting companies in the world. Launched in 2000, Dotster was among the first to offer long-term domain registrations and discounted pricing.

Sedo, (acronym for ‘’Search Engine for Domain Offers'’), is an online marketplace for buying and selling domain names and websites. Sedo began in 2001, as a student project among three friends: Tim Schumacher, Ulrich Priesner, and Marius Würzner. The trio distributed computer games through the website offensiv.de. After the business was phased out, the students considered selling it, which laid the foundation for Sedo: ‘’search engine for domain offers.'’ Headquartered in Cambridge, Mass., Sedo has assembled what it believes is the world’s largest database of domain names for sale, with more than four million listings. Buyers and sellers are brought together through a searchable online marketplace, and conduct negotiations anonymously using an offer-counteroffer system. To facilitate successful transactions, Sedo has introduced a range of related services, including domain name escrow/transfer services, domain name appraisals, a domain brokerage service and paid domain name parking. The success of Sedo’s model has attracted a global membership base of more than 200,000 domain professionals, and helped more than 5,000 businesses start its web presence off on the right foot with a great new domain name. Sedo offers regional versions of its site for the UK (Sedo.co.uk), France (Sedo.fr), Germany (Sedo.de), and Spain (eSedo.com).
