how many domains do you keep with less than 10 visits a month?!

[Gee]

more than 70% of my domains recieves less than 10 hits per month

I feel I should start looking for traffic & revenue names to cover the reg fee instead of waiting for a sale


Is 70% a big number?

I want to hear that I am not alone or I should drop some of them may be!

thanks for any comments

Im at exactly 70% too, Dont feel alone, Its a habit, Lol im seeing what I can sell then let the rest expire after probably earning another 20 cents in 10 months hehe.

If its not generic make a site out of it.

If it is generic park it.

the only ones I keep with less than 10 a month are poker domains, the rest I let expire , I am around 5% with less than 10 a month, but I only buy or register domains for traffic so I think its a different strategy then you have, I am only holding a handful of brandables.

10 hits per month can pay the regg fee for a year if......

it makes at least $0.80 per month on average.

also, you should have a balance. where your 70% is supported by the revenue produced from the remaining 30% of your portfolio.
although this leaves you with little profit overall, (unless you make "high profit" sales during that year), you still won't be under.

the trick is to eventually shift the balance.



i've kept many domains more than 2 years, that were not "revenue producers", but 70% percent of those sold, going into the 3rd year.

so that goes back to....... how long you're willing and able, to support the dream of a sale.

as a domain is a dream, of the possibilities to come!

My traffic isn't too great. 93% do not get 10 visits a month, but the domains get offers to buy. I just sold another site this week and it paid for all the crap domains I have. The 7% that performs isn't doing too bad, either. I will begin reducing the number of domains I have by developing them somewhat, so I can list them on eBay. Even on eBay I get $200+ unless it's totally worthless, which I have some domains that are. I wrote a few scripts to register domains for me and with a little bug, it cut the domains in half, so something like VideoGameFourm.com became ameForum.com. Those I just list on eBay for 99 cents and if they don't sell, I let them expire.

I agree, it's all a balance, and if a domain doesn't get
traffic, it had better be a name that could be
brandable, or that has a hope of getting traffic one day.

We should always be looking for names that generate traffic,
that's one of the things I've learned from this forum. Before
I mostly looked for names that sounded good, or seemed to
have good words. Now I use overture keyword reports
more to see what terms people are searching for, what are
good typos, what has a high listing in google, etc.

It's also true that one good sale every now and then can make up for a
lot of domains that aren't making much. I also develop
some one page websites for names, put adsense on them
and some affiliate links, all centered around a free article related
to the domain subject. It surprises me sometimes that some of
these pages get good ranking in google, msn, and yahoo searches.
