Regarding Overture Searches, I've recently made available a site (www.kelmond.com) that lists expiring domains and their Overture Searches results. It still needs some improvements, but IMHO can be pretty useful to people looking to acquire domains after they expire.

Please take a minute and read what I wrote here about your article....

http://blog.designsbyjohnson.com

It's somewhat long, so i won't post the whole thing here. Now maybe what I got into wasn't your intention but there was no distinction made.

If this article was published in 1995 it would've been useful.

Feb 17, 2006, 12:14

This article is not informative, it's just used to spam SEDO's link and junk.

This is awful.

Another thing about alexa is that a disproportionate number of webmasters or other techies have the toolbar installed and so sites that cater to that demographic have rankings skewed in their favor.

I'll tell you how to make money.
Invest in IDN Domains before IE7 comes out which is soon.
You'd be surprised to know how fast these are being snatched up lately.

Pedro Monteiro · Mar 9, 2006, 15:43

Just doesn't add anything new.

i hate jackbook.com
because there is already jackbooks.com but he still took it! :(

armchaircritic · Jun 29, 2007, 12:39

I didn't see any relation between what the article talked about and making money... I was expecting to find out how to evaluate the true value of any given domain, without resorting to something like leapfish.com and such sites.

www.keywordSpy.com a try for a keyword research tool, with results actually reflecting what advertisers are using at the current time.

Its not telling you how to make money, but rather giving you the knowledge to valuable and nonvaluable sites so that you make the right choice for your domain, which will factor the money making part.

For example a site that receives only paid results and or low hits, will suffer, while a goldmine site, and cherry picker we shall say will reap the rewards.

Thats what I pull from this article.

Hi all.

I have some parked domains (with sedo) and last night i was looking for some free link directorys that accept parked pages so i could have some incoming links to them.

I did find some but they all say the same thing :

"To validate the reciprocal link please include the following HTML code in the page at the URL specified above, before submitting this form"

I dont understand where this link should go..Is it into the source code (html)of the parked page??? If so, how will it work as with parked pages you cant save any changes to the html code..

Im really lost with this. Also when i was looking on the free link directories i seen another sedo members parked pages, so it can be done. but how is he doing it.

Does anyone know?

Cant contect him either as sedo doesnt show any contact details.unless his page is in auction (which it isnt)

enposte · Jun 1, 2008, 09:50

Success with domains all about what people think your domain is not what it actually is.

peter250 · Jun 1, 2008, 11:25

Thanks for answering my question

peter250 · Jun 3, 2008, 14:48

I just want to know what is classed as organic traffic? As sedo have said that traffic for parked domains is ok..How do i put my parked domains into this organic traffic?? Is there somewhere you can submit them to?

Billboard · Jun 25, 2008, 04:33

bamaboy · May 1, 2009, 05:29

Good article, but not much new for me

I basically try to get domain names which are related to recent trends.
For example :- domains related to swine flu

ozcan · May 2, 2009, 10:44

Excellent article. Very clear and nearly everything is summarized for.

Thanks!
