Eric Lyon created an interesting poll over at Namepros last month. ” How do you think a potential buyer first checks if a domain is for sale?” 26,000 views and over 750 votes shows visit domain as the top choice.
Selling a domain often comes down to visibility. Some sellers list on major marketplaces, while others rely on a parked landing page to do the talking.
Setting aside all the loud noise of different landing pages, parking pages, marketplace options, features, themes, conventional marketing, outbound, SEM/SEO, etc., etc… How are potential buyers really finding out whether or not a “specific domain name” is even available for sale?
Your experience matters. Cast your vote and help us all uncover which channel is used the most as a buyers 1st choice to identify if a “specific domain name” is even available for sale or not.
The poll results can be fine-tuned to your sales strategy so you can focus on the channels that truly move the needle.
