Domain Names and SEO Link Networks
Domain names are the lifeblood of any link network, such as SEO Link Monster or SEO Nitro. Let’s say you’re creating a small network of around 100 sites. Well, you’re going to need 100 different domain names! You can’t build an undetectable SEO link network just using sub-domains (although some have tried) because you’ll have the all-too-obvious footprint of the subdomain. No, you’ll need to start investing in an entire portfolio of domain names. So what’s the best approach?
Buying pre-owned domains is the most common approach for link networks. Network owners will scour sites such as the Domain Name Aftermarket on Godaddy.com and try to pick up expiring domains that still have a few links pointing at them. Ideally, they want to pick up the domains before they drop.
Registering new domains should also be part of the armoury of anyone considering building an SEO link Network. This is because you want to have a nice mix of domain types – if your entire network consists of expired domains then you may very well be leaving a footprint there. So you should pick up some new domains too and build some links to them and add some original content. Over time, the trust that the search engines put in them will grow.
General Domain Name Strategy
You will experience far better results with investing in domains if you take the time to learn a few things, first. There are similar considerations as buying a domain for a new business; however, investing adds a few new dimensions. Investing in domain names works on a similar principle as flipping real estate. Overall, investing in domain names really is not a hard thing to do, but not everyone is successful with it so that should clue you in.
Spend Effectively: With the purpose of purchasing the proper domain name, you should do you portion of investigating and studying aftermarket domain sales webs portals, for example Afternic, Sedo, TDNAM and a variety of other domain name forums to learn what today’s prices are for any analogous domain names. This will provide you with a translucent idea of the importance of the domain name and provide you with some insight about how the value might vary / increase later on. But of course, if you have a lot of money to invest and find a name that you know will be big, then go for it. What you ideally want to do is implement all the things you normally would do for any site you want to have ranked in the search engines. Along with creating targeted content for your domain, you should also submit it to popular web directories and build backlinks to it from time to time. These are the types of activities and qualities that possible buyers will evaluate when you are trying to sell a site.
Domain Names are an investment
The nice thing about this is it’s your business, and if you ever just have a feeling about something then merely follow it. Even though this is a risky method, it does have its pay off, especially when you’ve gained some experience buying and selling domain names. But of course going with hunches is certainly not a recommended approach to assessing any domain potential, and we advise you to stick with known methods of assessment.
There are always risks associated with any business, but that is all right because it is just part of the overall package. This is investing, and that means you have to be willing to spend some money in order to do this business. This is why what we discussed here is to be taken seriously and applied in your business, because eventually, every penny that you invest into your domain business is important for your overall growth and success.
