Top Ways To Find Money Making Domains

There are two ways you can make money by investing in domains either you buy and register for a new domain or invest in a registered or expired domain. Investing in registered and expired domains always increases your websites visibility and also helps in pulling more traffic within very short span of time. Whether you buy a registered domain or an unregistered domain the question always lies behind in which domain investment will be more beneficial and give good returns.

To ensure that you are making a right decision when you purchase a domain, you need to do a good prior research using different techniques. The domain that you finalize to buy always get to know what traffic it receives and from what all sources. This is always a key to know its popularity and backlinks. There are three methods to evaluate the traffic a domain receives:

Traffic Source
Direct Methods
Indirect Methods

Traffic Source
Apart from above tools and techniques that help to know what traffic a site domain has you also need to get to know traffic sources. Following I'm giving you few ways that you can use to know traffic sources.


1. Search Engine Listing
   If a sites major source of traffic is through search engine listing then it is considered to be best. You can use "Search Engine Saturation" to know how much traffic a website receives through search engine. Don't forget to look how high the site is listed and frequently its keywords are searched. You can search google for a search engine saturation tool.


2. Expired Traffic
   If a site was formerly developed one then for some time its earlier visitors keep on visiting the link as they remember it but as you will start removing the content or changing it, it will continue to decline. So, its necessary to get to know which type of traffic it was targeting. Speak with the current owner to know what type of development was made.


3. Paid Fluctuation
   Sometimes people use to pay some money in order to increase traffic to their site. They also use to advertise their site through banners and advertisements to pull more and more traffic. So, you should know how much traffic is the paid one as once the site is sold, the owner will stop paying for the ads and hence the paid traffic will start declining gradually with the time.
   
   If a domain receives a couple of hundreds of views a day, and has no Alexa ranking and very few incoming links from low-traffic sites may likely receive paid traffic. You should know it and then only make decision of buying it.





Direct Methods
In this way you simply contact the domain owner and get to know how much traffic the domain receives. The easiest way is to ask directly from the seller. Use following methods to cross check:

1. Developed Website
   There are many professional statistics program that you can use to know the exact traffic to the developed website. These are basically Traffic Counting scripts that buyers can embed with the website code and get exact figures with reassurance of a third party verified system.


2. Parked Domains
   If the buyer is interested in a parked domain then, he can directly contact the parking company to know the entire statistics of the selling domain. They provide complete information like traffic to the site, its google's search rank, yahoo's search rank, baclinks and its sources etc. that is 100% authentic.

Indirect Methods
When you are interested in a domain which is not parked and the seller is not able to get you know the visitor statistics then, you can use these techniques to get a guess print of the traffic, its backlink sources etc. Though i won't recommend to fully rely on its results but yes, for sure you can get a rough idea.

1. Overture Inventory
   This is basically Keyword Selector tool provided by yahoo. If you visit http://marketplace.digitalpoint.com/ you get the number of domains and websites available for sale and their statistics. This tool is very effective to get to know hoe much traffic a site or domain receives that makes you great help in deciding whether to continue with buying or not.


2. Alexa.com
   Alexa is a well known site to get to know a websites search engines rank, along with its traffic statistics, backlinks and all other information related to a website. It is one of the best known site for this purpose. I, also use alexa most of the time to know my websites search engine's ranking and its traffic sources.
   
   Any sort of Alexa ranking means the domain receives at least some traffic. Sometimes, alexa in unable to display a sites alexa ranking but it doesn't mean that the site doesn't receives any traffic. This is because alexa has never been pinged for that particular website. In order to know a sites alexa ranking it is necessary that the website URL is submitted to alexa, only after that alexa starts tracking it.
