Today, I’m sharing with you my top 7 posts for buying and selling domain names.

I hope you can glean knowledge from each piece of content and implement some of the various domain selling and buying techniques to benefit yourself and others you may know.

Today is a good day to share and learn about expired domains SEO.

Quiet as kept, there is a growing aftermarket of domain names, specifically the expired domain market.

From Sedo to GoDaddy to Park.io to NameJet to SnapNames to name a few, many business owners, domainers, developers and more are sniping expired domains right and left (even right now as you read this very article!).

And I’m not talking the bottom of the barrel expire domains either. I’m talking about highly-valued expired domain names that they are buying for pennies on the dollar of the expired domain’s overall value in some cases.

But why would anyone buy expired domains?

Well, I’m glad you asked! I’ll share with you some of my most popular expired domains SEO content in today’s round up.

And although finding and buying expired domains is much like attempting to find a needle in a haystack, when you find that one needle or diamond in the rough, the SEO value you’ll attain in search rankings, traffic and new customers will make your work and effort all worth it time and time again.

So let’s get started, and I’ll share with you proven tactics and techniques of how to use and not use expired domains as a part of your overall SEO strategy.

As you know or may not know, Kickstart Commerce offers affordable domain leasing for our growing portfolio of domain names.

Typically, when I receive inquiries about some of my most popular domain names and met with stick shock from uneducated domain buyers, I always offer a payment plan to buy the domain, or a leasing payment to use the domain for a set period of time should I not want to sell.

I’m not always successful with the latter option as most domain buyers who are not able to afford my portfolio of premium .com domains tend to move and settle for a lesser priced domain.

But much like physical real estate, I’ll continue to hold my oceanfront property for the right buyer to come along and see the value in paying my asking price.

Nevertheless, today’s post will help those of you looking to purchase by way of leasing that one game-changing domain name that will morph your business into an online powerhouse brand.

How can I increase my website’s traffic and search rankings?

This is the most common question I hear from potential and existing customers looking to gain an edge in search rankings and generate more qualified traffic.

And of course, no matter how I try, there is never enough time to sum up all of the SEO actions one can take to increase website traffic and search rankings.

For those who use WordPress, I simply recommend a few general settings changes and the installation of Yoast or All-In-One Webmaster plugins for starters.

Then there are those who have a static website I recommend content marketing via blogs and articles.

And let us not be quick to forget or diminish the value of social media networks.

Out of all the thoughts previously mentioned, we are barely scratching the surface in addressing the 200+ search ranking factors.

In addition to fielding potential and existing customer SEO questions, I’ve personally had a chance to document the process for creating, developing, and sustaining a few niche websites I’ve started in recent weeks.

I tried my very best to document the 108 actions I’ve used and followed, per my SEO guideline.

Using this exhaustive list of proven SEO actions, every small business owner (that’s you!) can execute these actions on an ongoing basis to increase website traffic and search rankings in hopes of capturing qualified customers.

So if you’re ready, let’s get started!

I’ve written several posts about finding and buying domains, how to lease domains, why domains cost so much, and the new domain name extensions versus .com domains, to name a few.

No matter what I’ve written about in the past, present, or future, there will always be domain buyers, whether end-user customers or domain investors, who send in a lowball offer or counter with an offer that’s not worth the time to entertain.

Although I choose to respond, I’ve noticed domain buyers that are business owners, those who use their business address to inquire about the price of a domain, tend to undervalue domain pricing when attempting to purchase a domain I own. Most of these business owners are offended when they inquire about a domain, and I respond with 5 or 6-figure values.  Most say, “No thanks, I’ll register a different domain name.”

I’m met with terse comments and responses that I wouldn’t dare mention or even say to the face of a person that I so desperately want to buy something. Let’s say that most comments are in the neighborhood of “you’ve lost your mind” or “you’re the scum of capitalism.”

I don’t mind the comments. After all, to some extent, everyone is entitled to their opinion in expressing the first amendment.

Regardless of the inquiry and responses that follow, I make every effort to break down and explain my domain pricing strategy in great detail for each business owner to understand as it relates to their respective industry. Here’s why…

It never fails that I receive a domain inquiry in regards to buying a domain name I own, or questioning whether the domain name is for sale and how much.

Most of the time, such domain inquiries are nothing more than tire kickers that have no intent to buy.

Such tire kickers inquire only to either curse me to the hills and back, try to threaten me with legal action with no leg to stand on, or they try to explain to me why I’m asking too much for the desired domain.

No matter their negative response, such inquirers end up right back where they started: not owning the domain!

Most of the unsuccessful buyers settle for a hand-registered domain that is nothing more than a cheap knockoff of the domain they really desire.

However, there are those few occasions where someone will lowball me for a domain and respond to my counter with a substantially higher amount than their initial offering.

I tend to sell 90% of those types of domain inquiries.

All in all, like everything else in life, you can’t judge a book by its cover when initially fielding domain inquiries.

Today I received a $50 domain inquiry for a top 3 word .com.

I’ll take a few moments to share a few thoughts for domain buyers and sellers.

I’ve received a few offers on this same domain over the last year, so I knew that I was not going to rollover and blindly accept this offer without doing a little research.

Just based on the previous domain inquiries and offers, the lowest price I was willing to accept was $25K.

As I do with every domain and right from the start, I also checked to see if the other domain extensions where registered, available, or developed.

And to my surprise and advantage as a seller, all other domain extensions were registered and a few had fully developed websites belonging to thriving businesses.

So I did what anyone should do, which is performing a few business searches to be sure that those businesses were legit.
