Make money with domains
Domainer blog rankings in top 100 list

What is best to choose for new domain name? .com versus one of several tld’s available?

As everyone is aware, .com is best and default, country specific domains are good option some times.

I like short URLs as most of internet users are. one word, short name cc tld is an option sometimes.

Try some catchy names with cc tld’s. Some examples i like are bla.st, cri.me, save.us, quote.me, marry.me and so on.

no matter what, short list and make sure you choose short, catchy and easy to remember and easy to type name for your next online project.

.me domains are open for public registration tomorrow 17th JULY 9:00AM PDT.

Some of best domains if they are available:

call.me
rescue.me
love.me
tell.me
gim.me
find.me
piss.me
write.me
email.me
mail.me
loan.me
kiss.me
kisse.me

1. Buy and hold: Similar to investments, Domain names appreciate in value. Buy an hold until big business wants it and ready to pay decent premium for it. One such sale will offset all the expenses on all other domains.
2. Park them: Number of companies offer parking services on their servers. Show PPC ads and earn parking income. Risk free and some high traffic domains make very good money. Domains in high CPC niches will do well.
3. Develop: Hire programmers, content writers and develop the domain. This might get good money out of a domain but costs decent amount. This often yields maximum returns while domain keeps on appreciating.
4. Hand picked affiliate offers: I haven’t seen many people do this but highly targeted offers related to traffic might work verywell as income source.
5. Redirect to your main site/ blog: In this internet business, traffic is key. Why not redirect all the traffic to one single site and monetize that one site?
6. Lease them: Leasing is not as popular as people who want to develop business around don’t like the risk of loosing the same. There are few companies offer leasing for 24 months to 10 years.
7. Affiliate stores: Ebay, Amazon, Zilo and many other online businesses allow you to customize their inventory and create a custom branded shop for a cut in their profit. These are generally known as niche stores and offer very good revenue potential. This could be great option if the domain is related to shopping. Amazon pays between 4 to 10 % of sales while ebay pays 50 to 75 % of their revenue.
8. Directory : Create a directory site and sell links. This is best if the domain is geo domain or focused in a vertical market. There are free directory softwares and few good directory softwares costs less than 100 bucks. Hosting might be another 100 dollars per year. however this provides regular income. A lawyer related directory may charge $100 per year for listing. Imagine selling 1000 links every year! For Lawyer business traffic, that $100.00 is pretty easy decision to buy links. Every one wins.
9. Create a monthly contest: It requires some work but this can be good source of income.
10. Credit card /hosting affiliate: Choose a most trusted credit card or hosting company, get their affiliate link and place their offer on your site. Most of these offers will last more than a year. Why credit card or affiliate offers? These offers provide as much as $100 per qualified sign up. Some hosting companies offer ongoing affiliate commission. If you have 100 people sign-up for hosting and it is one of the best hosting company, you get revenue regularly while hosting company keeps taking care of the business. You can sell the domain and still keep on getting the revenue.

1. Keep it short: Recent study revealed short domain names attract more traffic. People remember well and visit more often. It appears attractive in search engine results. So keep it simple and sweet.
2. Keyword domain name. Tools like Keyword Elite and word tracker gives a list of search phrases people use for a specific keyword. Look at the phrase with decent amount of searches and choose .com version of that domain. Add some relevant content and your site appears top in search engine ranking.
3. Single word domain: If you can get single word domain, great. If not, research to see if there is one available in secondary market. This will be the best investment you will ever make.
4. Prefix or Suffix: Add popular prefixes or suffixes to the main keyword and see if there is one available. Good prefixes are “the”, “best”, “top” and suffixes are “online” etc.
5. Geo target: See if there is geo target version of domain is available. Example “newyorkrestaurant.com”
6. Expired domains : Expired domains will usually contain all the links and seo done. People let them expire if they no longer run that online business. This could great for building up some quick traffic.

8. Adding different extensions: There are lot of domain extensions available. If there is a 2 or 3 char domain available, that could the best.
9. Easy to type : Observe typing on keyboard and see how is easy or hard a particular word is before choosing it. Easier the better.
