How much you sell your domain if it makes $100/year via parking?

[htkhoi]

I got a domain name making around $100 a year via parking. I had an offer $2k . Should I take it ? Thanks for your help

 

[urlurl]

if you are basing it on revenue it makes - $2k is an excellent price to sell for - it would take 20 years @ $100/y to recoup that money.

Pm me the name maybe I can give you a more accurate appraisal or possibly a better offer!

$100/year? That is less than $10 a month. I would have instantly accepted the 2K, depending on the quality of the name itself. If it is just a traffic domain, take the 2K and run.

Depends on the name really, this may not help my cause but some names are undermonetized and parking revenue can potentially equate to a lot more money in affiliate or actual sales. Traffic is king.

True, did not think of that aspect of it.

I think if the name was quality, the poster would have said something about that in the post. It seems they feel it's just a traffic name -- in which case, as was said above, take the $2k and be super happy about it.

Angles baby!

What if it's loan traffic or car insurance or credit card applicants, or people wanting to buy houses? OR airplanes? That few bucks a month in shitty ppc money might equal 1000x as much with a viable business, it took me a long time to figure this out. We are not talking about download music traffic here or free games traffic, but even porn cam traffic can make big bucks with affiliate sites and the same clicks would be a penny or two at parking companies! That's one to grow on.

This is a 1 word domain 7 letters and registered in 1999. You think I should sell it? Thanks

 

[Focus]

PM me the domain I'll give you a straight honest answer

Man, depends on the name as Focus said. A click pays $0.10, but a Payday Loan Lead for example pays $10-$100+........

 

[Focus]

Also, if it was a blind 2k offer that is not a bad opening offer and sounds like an end-user to me (might be more money behind that offer) so yeah, thats much better than the random $200 offers people usually send for good names.

Yes, but this doesn't particularly matter unless the domain owner themselves can make that change to have the site earn more.

This is likely the problem with such a generic posting by the op and no name.
Given the information only that the name makes $100 a year, the answer to sell or not for $2k is a no brainer. ;-)

At that point you should indeed send Focus the name and let him help.

But to be sure, there are certainly more than a fair amount of 7 letter words that aren't worth a whole lot.
I own a few myself that I'd probably be smart to accept $2k for if the offer ever arrived. ;-)

Which is a separate lesson of "Never take the first offer."

 

[Focus]

Maybe this is a carefully crafted sales pitch

 

[atomic]

Yeah, because names making $5-$10 a month are not hard to come by. $0.05 a day is nothing. Take the 2K, have a beer, and pat yourself on the back. Does not matter what the next guy does with the name, all that matters is that you made a return on your investment.

 

[Focus]

Absolutely counter offer, worst that happens is they stick to their original offer. 99% of the time they always respond back if they are serious enough to offer $xxxx to start, and NOBODY makes their best offer first so they expect a counter offer from you. Don't let us down now!

Read my PM

 

[dictionaryof]

Yes. What Focus says.
Every one of my 6 figure deals started with 4 figure offers.

 

[Focus]

I once turned down a $xxx,xxx blind offer - true story. :yes: Felt great! :lol:

(did not sleep much that night awaiting a reply)

You need to analyze the domain in its own merits, the OP may own a superb domain, one that should be worth $10K and just not realize it. Examine the domain, you must have a gut feeling. I'd love to have a domain giving me $100/yr and ger a $2K offer, and if I just weigh this on parking revenue the buyer is giving me 20-yr income upfront, and you have no assurance revenue will stay at $100/yr. But if you feel the domain is worth a lot more then counter. There's a chance he won't ever get back to you. Do I know this !..... So if you conclude you're OK w/$2K right now take the dough and run

Like Focus says it depends on the name, some excellent domains aren't monetized well for whatever reason, or just can't be monetized even by pros. But the term itself may be a gem. The OP says it's a one-word domain, I assume it's a dictionary word and in the English language (it's nice to point it's a 1999 orig reg but a smart domainer buyer will take this w/a grain of salt) I once had a name that give me $10+ a month for 2 yrs and it was a dog, bad ext too. I liked the revenue so I wouldn't sell for even $500, then income went to $5 and then $3/mo. I tried other pkg cos, even let my rep tweak it, I never got the income up again. $10 doesn't sound like a lot but for a bad name and/or bad ext anyone would take it. There are smart domainers who sell domains making $1,000/mo (that's per month lol) I just hope they know what they're doing, who wouldn't kill for that. Parking as we knew it went on life support in early 2009 and it's still running a 110 F fever .... :-(
