Domaining and Domainizing - Great Secrets Shortcuts Domaining Domains For Sale

Auctioning Domains? ... or seeking to pick up domains at an affordable domains auction?
(Yes, it's quite a qualified, since .com's seem to automatically command ridiculous prices.

If you're going to get involved with auctioning domains, either by running your own auctions or using the services of, for example, sloooooooowdaddy (godaddy) or sedo, who are the presumable leaders in domain auctioning, or, those sites that seek to compete with those two, such as snapnames and afternic, or even "almost domain-auctioning-big-boy' greatdomains.com, there is a great deal of joy, and perhaps good income to be made in the domains auction field.

As more and more different types and examples of auctioning software comes out,
(with earlier versions updated more often, now),
the opportunities to jump into the domain auctions arena continue to grow.

a) Do you have domains to auction off?

b) Do you wish to buy domains at auction?

c) Do you prefer to "outsource" your auctioning of domains to a service specifically
zooming in on those who buy domains at domains auction events?

d) If you are purchasing domains at auction, do you seek to keep them, flip them, or develop them?

e) Before spending a dime on such efforts, do you have experience with domains auctions?

These are five of the key questions that the Great Secrets Shortcuts asks of any would-be domain auctioner, or other form of domainist - domainizer - domaineer.

As with every form of income-driven or income-desired effort that humans endeavor to master, wise is the person who gets the illuminated (and illuminating) light bulb going off over the head... and then freezes in place to first glean both a hundred facts about domain auctioning, and at least some experiencing of domains auctions in order to make more informed decisions about how to undertake, and successfully executve, efforts in this area.

If you're seeking to buy domains at auctions, the Great Secrets Shortcuts suggests starting very slowly. Pick a number that you're willing to pay for a domain that is being offered for sale at auction, and make sure you do not exceed that bid, not even by a dollar, because a dollar becomes a hundred becomes a thousand long before most of us might even realize it. The thrill of bidding in auctions, especially when we feel that we are in control, and that our bid is highest.... for this moment... can too easily cloud our judgement and induce us to pay more for a domain than it would have sold without the auction, simply a one-off offer and acceptance of a domain's asking price.

Again and again, successful domainists and domainizers and domaineers have reported back to the Great Secrets Shortcuts that their most satisfying auctions were those in which they kept within their pre-set limits for domain names (and sometimes fully-developed or partially-developed websites that come WITH the domain's purchase) that they had already examined, evaluated, and came up with a maximum number for. The Great Secrets Shortcuts urges you to practice restraint, only the domain you deem "perfect" for your purposes is the rare domain worth exceeding one's preset bid limit to acquire. RESPECT YOUR SELF-DETERMINED LIMITS!!

Another consideration, whether or not you've thought of it yet, is how old the domain is that's being auctioned. The older a domain is, the higher the value tends to be. There is, however, a fascinating fact about domainizing and SEO (search engine optimization or optimizing) that every would be "Domain Auctioning Master" might want to know about if she or he is planning to develop the domain they're most interested in.

Many people believe that, when a website (or, more accurately, a domain) is suspended by Google, etc., for spamming or other search engine no-no's, that's that, the only perceptible value in buying a banned domain at auction is to flip it, because developing it is a waste of time. After all, doesn't a Google banning mean that the value of the domain drops VERY dramatically, knowing in advance that search engine dominance or even minimally high ranking at Google (and all the search engines that feed from and rely upon Google) is nigh-impossible with a ban in place? With apologies for such a many-worded question in the preceding paragraph, it was partly phrased as a stall, so that those precious few who actually make it to the present paragraph get a major, whopping, super-secret of domainizing and getting high search engine rankings: It is not the domain name that is getting banned by google or other search engines/directories!

As you may know, there technically is, on the internet, no such thing as a domain name. The letters you type before the .com or the .net or .info, etc., are simply an alphabetic or, in the case of domains that also have numbers interspersed with the letters, creating a reference to alpha-numeric domains, are just a way for humans to get to numbered URL's that they may not feel comfortable memorizing (or learning at high speed how to manipulate otherwise): DOMAIN NAMES ARE NOT BANNED, ONLY IP'S FOR A GIVEN DOMAIN!!

That's right: If you have purchased a domain, at auction or simply by registering the domain at a registrar, and you manage to get that domain banned by major search engines, all is not lost, not by a long shot: Just change the IP. Get another host, sign into your registrar, and change the nameservers to a new host! The search engine game and protocols and routines all kick in once again, anew, and Bob's yer uncle!

Auctioning Domains and Currencies - Great Secrets Shortcuts Sagacity For Domainists: Do NOT allow yourself to get caught in this trap, the currency traps, so to speak!!!

When you participate in an auction, and the auction is held overseas (versus being conducted domestically in the U.S. of A., it is possible that the auction will be conducted using currencies other than the dollar. Don't think that this is beside the point, it IS the point. If you are not comfortable with mentally exchanging the rates for currency or currencies that are not dollar-based, or, if you normally work with pounds sterling, and the domain auction is not being conducted in sterling, (or Euros, if that currency is your major or standard operating currency), then the Great Secrets Shortcuts urges you to have a chart handy, with all the possible combinations you are likely to be bidding for particular domains that you have pre-identified, (meaning you've identified them as desirable before the onset of the auction process), with instant access to the value of the domain at any given point in the auction. It seems like such a simple, easy subject to conquer or at least to be aware of, and then, like any hungry domainizer or domainist or domaineer, your enthusiasm can leave you in the lurch, holding the proverbial bag for a much larger sum needed to pay for the domain you just won at auction than you had intended or wanted to spend.

This one factor alone can break your budget for the year, and you should not be too surprised to learn that dozens and dozens of players in the field of domain auctioning have found themselves (placed themselves) in a position all caught up with "Oh, dears," and "Why did I..." and "Why DIDN'T I," etc. Make sure that you have a simple list of prices in all currencies that the domains auction may be working with. If bidding on more than one domain that you have selected to thoroughly try for, then make sure you have your maximum bid for each identified domain in stark letters. Better yet, you might be very glad you put your maximum bids in red letters, or circled numbers. Be sure you are ahead of the so-called curve of knowledge here, mistakes are most often avoidable, with proper planning. A wiser man who himself practiced many factors and features of the Great Secrets Shortcuts in his life said that "Prior planning prevents piss-poor performance. The Great Secrets Shortcuts chooses to re-configure that just slightly, presenting it as "Prior planning promotes proper performance." You might also asseverate (Great Secrets Shortcuts includes such words for the purpose of achieving the diversity of original words and phrases most appreciated by the various search engines and sundry directories) that "Pre-planning promulgates proprietary pleasure in performance and production." .... and so on.
