Domaining Biz

I should have listened to everyone sooner.  I know, just like everyone else, it is hard for me to change.  I’ve been parking my domains with SEDO, which apparently is not the best idea for the types of domains in my portfolio.  Meaning, I have domains with type-in traffic.  I have been seeing a very low payout per click with Sedo.  I moved to Parked.com with some of my highest traffic domains and have literally tripled my income.  I even had one very good day where I made more in a day there than I do in a week at Sedo.  

If you haven’t tried them out yet, I highly recommend you do.

I am so excited!  I sold my first domain.

I hand registered a .org domain based on a news story I heard.  I had to get the .org because the .net was taken while I was trying to decide which I should get.  The next day, both my .org and the .net someone else got while I snoozed had bids on them for purchase.  Mine was for $100 and the .net was for $500.  So, I guess I know now which one I should have regged, or else I should have just grabbed both.

Due to the activity, I sent it to auction at Sedo.  I got one more bid which was high enough to cover Sedo’s 10%  charge for handling the transaction.  I was surprised at the amount of time Sedo held the money after I had pushed the domain to them (1 week), but it makes sense that they hold it for a bit to make sure the money clears that they were paid.

Sedo then paid the money to me without a hitch.  Overall it was a very good experience.
