Selling domain names through Afternic while earning money through advertising
Advantages of selling domain names through Afternic
For owners of domain names interested in selling their names in either a "buy now" or auction format, Afternic is the best of the domain name aftermarket sites for a number of reasons:
- You can enter any domain names that you own into your "portfolio", and then easily pick and choose which domains you want to offer for sale.
- The seller has some control over whether or not a listed domain enters a binding auction period.
- While waiting for offers, domain names can be earning income from targeted pay-per-click (PPC) advertising. Domain names in your portfolio can be hosted at no additional charge by your choice of various parking partners, which pay up to 100% of the revenue generated by the PPC advertising on the site.
- Afternic also pays commissions for referrals from the parked pages, listing pages and other links. If a domain is sold to someone who was referred by one of your domains or links, the commission is at least $15. For domains that were sold for more than $600, the commission is 25% of the sales fee, which is 10% of the domain sale price (that is, 2.5%, or $25 for each $1,000 of the domain sale price).
- Domain names with offers meeting the reserve price are featured on the Afternic home page under "Closing Soon" for up to 7 days. Such prominent exposure provides the best opportunity for increasing bids before an auction ends. This is a big advantage, especially for lower priced domains. The normal cost to have a domain name featured on the Afternic home page is $50 per month, which is really suitable only for higher value names.
- A good variety of statistics are provided, including number of visits to the advertising and listing pages, click-throughs, earnings per click (EPC), revenue per thousand impressions (RPM), total PPC earnings and other commissions.
