Domain Investing Stats and Tips

That old domain with all the backlinks might have a legacy domain penalty

December 29, 2020 by Raymond Hackney

Over the past couple years we have seen a greater interest in buying old domain names for their SEO/Authority value. I had a friend mention to me over the weekend that he bought a name for that very reason, that just can’t seem to rank. I mentioned to him an article I read a few […]

December 24, 2020 by Raymond Hackney

Anyone who uses Twitter in 2020 has noticed an uptick in warnings added to tweets. Especially if you are involved in the political arena. These flags or warnings added to tweets have even turned into a meme, with many brands poking fun at themselves or the competition. Well it’s not just limited to politicians and […]

$90,000 and five years later and not even a nameserver update

December 11, 2020 by Raymond Hackney

Five years ago Elliot Silver broke news on a .money domain name that sold for $90,000. The seller once walked away from The Apprentice UK TV Show 5 years later and the domain name has not even updated the nameservers. Transfer.money is the name and it’s a perfect keyword combination in my opinion. The seller […]

You need to honor your buy it now prices

December 4, 2020 by Raymond Hackney

There is a story a brewing on Namepros where a member posted about trying to buy a domain name on Flippa. They were told the transaction was cancelled due to old pricing. Apparently the seller has been a speaker at NamesCon and runs a domaining site according to the member. He wrote: It would also […]

$10,000 domain name sale for a handreg with no favorable metrics

November 27, 2020 by Raymond Hackney

A long time member of Namepros and someone who I interacted with frequently in the .tv sub forum, Fleaking, announced a $10,000 sale. For $10,000 USD via Sedo, so happy with it because it is the longest domain(18 characters) and also a highest hand-regged name that I’ve ever sold, most importantly… it has 0 other […]

Pricing Domain Names – Opinions vary

November 17, 2020 by Raymond Hackney

Pricing your domain names. It’s a topic that can stir up debate, confusion, even fear. Yes fear, the fear of missing out (FOMO) on the big sale. Domain investors tend to take a look around at what others are doing. It makes sense to get a broad sense of what your peers are doing. But […]

You need to do a lot more than just glance at the sales data

November 15, 2020 by Raymond Hackney

New domain name investors often are given the advice, “Check the sales data to learn about what’s a good domain name.” A cursory glance of the sales data provided by Namebio or DNJournal can leave one confused or hastily registering bad domain names. You need to go much deeper into the data. If you are […]

November 14, 2020 by Raymond Hackney

It seems like some domain investors continue to see outbound marketing as spam. Whenever the topic comes up on Namepros the comments fly. A recent thread on automating outbound got replies like: Another outbound thread?Outbout=spamming.How many outbound threads do you need? Outbound marketing needs to be done properly, making sure it does not violate the […]

November 6, 2020 by Raymond Hackney

Congratulations you just sold a domain name for $9,999 on GoDaddy auctions. Your transaction has now been forwarded to Escrow.com since it’s over $5,000. Whoops, Escrow.com does not support your country and they will not send you the proceeds from the domain sale. GoDaddy: Payment transactions depend on the domain name’s selling price and the […]

November 4, 2020 by Raymond Hackney

I transferred a .com for a friend into my account on 10th March 2020. Domain renewal date is 31st January every year. So obviously when I transferred the domain name on […]
