Tutorial: How to Track Domain Type-In Traffic

How to Track Domain Type-In Traffic
Written by: Alvin Brown

One of the most elusive topics surrounding domain investing is type-in traffic. There are many schools of thought on this topic.

In short, I define and qualify domain type-in traffic as visitors typing a domain name into a web browser and landing a single web page (not fully developed website) — completely bypassing search engines altogether.

Now many are quick to blur the lines between domain parking and domain type-in traffic. They are two different things, yet one relies on the other.

In this case, domain parking can rely on domain type-in traffic, but not exclusively. A domain can be parked and display ad links that visitors click on to generate domain parking revenue.

On the other hand, domain type-in traffic is simply the number of times visitors type in the domain into a web browser with no search engine help included.

Domain type-in traffic doesn’t automatically result in revenue although it can if the destination offers products, services, or a call to action that is in alignment with the visitor’s expectation.

It doesn’t take long after entering into domain investing to hear about the heyday of early investors buying keyword domains for the avalanche of type-in traffic.

Most domain investors, especially those early in their journey, are fast on the hunt to discover undeveloped domain gems with thousands of visits daily.

Do domains with exponential type-in traffic like the days of old actually exist today?

And if they do exist, how and where does one go about discovering, measuring, and procuring such domains?

Hitting the Jackpot Buying and Selling .IO Domains with Bar Franek
Written by: Alvin Brown

It’s one thing to negotiate and sell a domain name for cash, yet something different altogether negotiate, sell, and transact using bitcoin.

And the most interesting thing about this jackpot-of-a-domain-sale is that it was an .IO domain. Let that sink in.

dotDB - How to Value a Domain Name Based on the Number of Registered Extensions
Written by: Alvin Brown

If you’re like most domain investors, especially those driven by emotion, the participating in expiring domain auctions is likely a rollercoaster experience, to say the least.

It’s the thrill of watching seconds tick off only to be outbid at the last moment and clock reset. Or maybe it’s the back-and-forth nature of auctions that brings you an adrenaline rush and not the given name.

Whatever the case may be, if you are the emotion-driven or emotionless data-driven domain investor, I would like to share a simple tool with you to help gauge and value a domain name based on the number of registered extensions.

Add to Cart and Advanced Search are Latest Features in GoDaddy Domain Investor App Update
Written by: Alvin Brown

It really is becoming Christmas in July, somewhat. The good news is GoDaddy recently released a long needed and awaited updated to its search and buy domains in bulk functionality.

The bad news is that our economy continues playing a deadly game of red-light, green-light with a pandemic of a lifetime: COVID-19. But for now, let’s focus on the good.

How Yogi Solanki Has Sold 15+ Domains in 60 Days
Written by: Alvin Brown

It’s not everyday that we stumble upon a domain investor that’s kicking butt and taking names with undeniable daily domain sales.

And if the domain investor is achieving such daily sales, then they have likely been at for years, if not decades.

Now what if I told you it was possible to not only achieve daily domain sales 3-4 times your investment cost, and you could do so having only been introduced to domain investing 60 days ago. What would you think, say and do?

It’s Christmas in July with GoDaddy’s Updated Bulk Domain Search

July 10, 2020 No Comments
Written by: Alvin Brown

Yesterday, I was toying around with researching and searching for a few keywords for geo service domains to quickly flip and development.

With most of my portfolio registered and managed at GoDaddy, I often use their Bulk Search to quickly determine how popular geo service domains are for a given keyword or service area based on available and registered domains.

This given day, I performed a search using GoDaddy’s Bulk Search and discovered search not working. Uh oh…

Protecting Your Domain Portfolio Against Taxes, Death, Divorce, Partnerships and More with Michael Gargiulo
Written by: Alvin Brown

The struggle is real when it comes to the buying and selling of domain names. Domain investing and development, neither one is for the faint of heart.

Domain investing has become highly competitively over the last 3 or so years — expiring domain auctions, especially with COVID putting tight clamps on gambling, a thriving industry, pushing a large number of the population into alternative investments — stock market and domain name investing.

While increased competition is one thing, there are a number of threats lurking to wipe out a domain investors portfolio and legacy as the domain industry matures.

In a recent podcast, I sat down with Michael Gargiulo, a long-time domain investor and developer, and serial entrepreneur.
