Selling Domain Names

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.
