Okay, so you have a website, you want more people to visit your site, but you don't want to spend a lot of money.

For the past few days I'm be hanging out on auctions. No, not ebay but instead Godaddy's Domain Auction [On left click on "Domain Name Aftermarket"]. For $10 I was able to win domain names that were up for auction that receive average monthly traffic of 1000+ visitors. I'm going to redirect [301] all of those domains to my websites.


Here are some of the domains that I won:

watchtvshows.net
teen18.info
style-live.com

If your case you might want to bid on a domain that has to do with your line of business [ie, if your website is about autos, buy domains that get a lot of monthly traffic that include the word "car" or "auto."] This way you might be able to turn that visitor into a sale.

When you first visit the auction page, click on "Ending soon," and sort the auctions by "traffic" [biggest on top]. Focus on only the auctions that recieve at least 1000 visitors a month. Find domains that have to do with your line of business and bid on them.

There are mainly two types of auctions here: Expired domain names and domain names being auction by others.


PS: I just came across "sexyjailbait.com," it recieves about 1906 hits per month. It has one bid of $10. GET IT WHILE YOU CAN!

I've been on GoDaddy Domain auction for quite sometime. That's honestly not a bad idea you have there. So how you tell how many hits the address gets?

To be honest, this will hurt you SEO. If you can find a domain that has something to do with your niche, then yeah I would suggest go for it, but if your just using any randomly trafficed domain like that with the 301, your wasting your time. You have no idea how much of that traffic is organic or not. But, places like that or great for domain flipping. You can make decent money flipping domains these days.

Though, an even better idea would be to setup an affiliate site on a domain like that, or maybe use googles adsense parking and see how you do.

Hey Eric,

The auction list has a column named "traffic." You can click on it to filter the auctions by traffic number [monthly traffic].

Today I found out that I was the new owner of: realnudemoms.com
I don't remember bidding on it... but I don't discriminate against a domain name when it receives over 1k of monthly traffic.

cool idea
so how many domain names do you have
I have over 100 and only using half of them
I bought some very good one word domains on ebay years ago

Who knows what kind of traffic WHITEDEVILINDUSTRIES.com is going to bring me...

I own about 50 domains, of them about 20 are for bringing traffic or passing PR.

Over 100?! Wow... Renewing them must be fun

yes
Hey I found a domain id like to have on godaddy auctions, bid is only at $10 when i tried to bid they wanna charge $4.99 just to bid on auctions

Yeah... I forgot to mention... It's $4.99/year to be a member of auctions. [Yearly fee, not per auction]

Cool, I joined, bid and won my first auction!

Wow! Hehe, you guys were made for each other.
