As internet marketers, we are continually looking for
was to maximize traffic to our respective websites. The
methods we use vary from paid advertising, pay-per-click
opportunities, writing articles, banner and classified
ads, etc. Additionally, we follow as closely as possible
the methods to improve our overall search engine optimization
criteria. But is that enough? Often times, "no it is not"
is the sad but simple answer. What other ways then are
there? We have a great looking website, doing all the
(w)right things, but they still do not come to your site.
One of the most commonly overlooked techniques for increasing
web traffic is having a website domain name that closely
matches our niche market, while being easy and associated
with the market we are trying to get to the top in.
For many, expiring and expired domains are the answer.
According to Google, in excessive of 3 million clicks
or url hits to targeted traffic are lost or receive website
not found errors on a daily basis. This common occurrence
happens for a number of reasons, ranging from simple neglect
by the owners to abandonment due to poor performance,
lost interest, and the list goes on and on. To look at
some of the traffic information about these sites, some
were never started, while others received respectable
traffic, sales and revenue. All of which have been abandoned.
The opportunity exists to acquire these sites, single
sites or in bulk at a fraction of what it might cost you
otherwise. Think of it, being able to start up a site
that already have traffic, reciprocal and one-way links
to it, targeted clients, all under new management – that’s
you!
As a secondary activity there is a lucrative market on
the internet (some through eBay) for auctions specializing
in resale of domain names (some expired, some not). When
you have a chance, do a search of domain auctions. You
will be surprised at what some of the highly sought after
web domains are selling for. Many are beginning to see
these as investments. And the great part, many of these
can be obtained for future use or for resale potential
with merely the cost of registration, which can be very
inexpensive ($5-$15 dollar range).
The list of possibilities is endless, with thousands more
expiring each and every day. With a little bit of background
research to investigate the previous use of the website
and traffic information where available, you could find
yourself with a lucrative niche with additional revenues
before you know it.
