Domain Flipping What Has Changed In 2014?

By Arees Furqan


Domain flipping is one of the more popular online businesses around. It involves buying and selling websites for a profit. There are two ways to do it. Either you buy an existing website or you register a domain, attach it to your hosting account, and build your website.



One method that is common in domain flipping is to find a web site that has not been well monetized. In other words, there is probably existing traffic that is somewhat consistent going to a web site. But, the original web site owner has not taken the time to fully monetize the web site. Sometimes, simply adding AdSense to a web site can produce instant income where none existed before. Or, if AdSense was already being used, then changing the ad formats or ad placement locations can increase revenue.

The year 2014 will not be forgotten by domain flippers any time soon. It is the only time since the beginning of the dot com era that new registrations are taking place. The new registrations as outlined by ICANN are meant to provide businesses online with a befitting identity. Instead of using a .com domain for a shoe company, now the company can register a .shoes domain.

Another great tip that we can share with you is: Buy websites with existing page rank. You might be surprised to know that there are many websites out there with high page rank that are sold for less than $100. Buy a website with a page rank of at least three, tweak it and then flip it. You can high PR domains at a great price on websites like http://registercompas.org.

In conclusion, 2014 will be a great year for the domain flippers since it is the year that these new domains will be open for registration. It is a great opportunity for those who were not present or who were left out during the great dot com era.

Don't be afraid to hold on to domains. Domains are similar to stock in that their value may increase or decrease over time. You aren't going to make much of a profit if you're buying domains to simply turn around and sell them again. Use your head, pay attention to trends, and determine when it's best to let your domain go. It might take time to get into the groove of making money off of flipping domains. Stick with it. In 2014, domain flipping remains an excellent way to make considerable money online.
