Would You Like Your Parking Company to Offer a “For Sale” Landing Page?

After a couple of posts discussing the topic, I think it would be interesting to see how many of you would like your parking company to offer a simple “for sale” landing page without PPC links.

I understand that parking companies may be reluctant to offer these because they are in business to generate revenue from pay per click advertising, but they are in the position to easily offer these landers to their clients, aside from the costs associated with creating and testing landing pages. It’s also easier than creating our own landers, which requires a hosting account, some coding skills, and time.

If you’d like to see straight up for sale landers offered by your parking company, please vote yes, and if you don’t think they are necessary, please vote no. You may also indicate what parking service you use, and if you know of a company already offering for sale landing pages, let us know that, too.

Name Administration Testing Out Domain Sale Landing Pages

You’re probably familiar with the traditional Internet Traffic landing page. If you aren’t, see FrozenBananas.com as an example. You’re also probably familiar with the Domain Name Sales inquiry page that a visitor lands on when they click the link at the top of domain names that are listed for sale.

It appears that either Frank Schilling’s domain portfolio company (Name Administration) or Internet Traffic is testing out a for sale landing page that does not  have

LinkedIn Can Help You Find a Buyer

Here’s a tip on how a LinkedIn company search can help you find a domain name buyer.

Although I am reluctant to use LinkedIn to try and sell someone a domain name (unless it is a last resort), I want to share a way that you can use LinkedIn to find a prospect for descriptive domain names, specifically keyword .com domain names.

The most common search that people do on LinkedIn is the people search. This allows visitors to find people with whom they’ve done business, connect with colleagues and co-workers, or get in touch with people they want to meet. Personally, I don’t think this is a great way to approach a buyer about a domain name.

Another common search tool that can help you find prospects for domain names is the

My Ideal Passive Domain Sales Platform

I don’t particularly like having buy it now prices on my domain names, especially the names I consider premium. The market for domain names is dynamic, and I would rather price them at the time of an inquiry than before. That said, having some pre-priced domain names is wise, and I want to share my thoughts on an “ideal” passive domain sales platform.

Listed below are some attributes of the ideal platform as well as the landing page that will be seen by visitors.

Who Else Sends All Inquiry Phone Calls to Voicemail?

When I receive a call from a phone number I don’t recognize, I almost always send the call to voicemail. I have found that most of these phone calls are either marketers trying to sell me something (like SEO people) or they are inquiries about a domain name.

I think it’s a wise move to send inquiry phone calls to voicemail. In fact, it might be smart to set up a phone line that is only for your Whois records so that all calls can be automatically sent to voicemail without your having to wonder if it’s a friend calling from a different phone number or someone else calling about personal matters.

Sending inquiry phone calls to voicemail is good for a

Why I’m Not Going to Tell You How Much Your Domain Name is Worth

One of the best things about having my blog is that I can interact with other domain investors. This business can be a bit isolating since there aren’t many people who do it, and it’s always good to speak with likeminded people who invest in domain names for a living.

By the same token, one of the worst things about having a domain blog is that many people email me and expect that I will spend my time giving them advice, especially as it relates to the value of their domain names. I don’t have any interest in becoming a
