WHY ARE DOMAIN NAMES BEING DROPPED?

admin — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 01:22:35 +0000

Each day individuals and business alike, purchase existing (previously registered) domain names like those found at FortunateDomains.com.

And conversely, every day thousands of “other” domain names are being dropped.

Why? Primarily, because those dropped domain names were neither a solid “common search term“ e.g. WalkingShoesForWomen.com, nor “catchy” enough to be “brand-able,” e.g. SwingingDeals.com

Some are dropped due to misspellings, occasionally some simply forget to renew their names, but the great majority are dropped because they are not the caliber domain name one needs to be taken seriously in the online marketplace.

For example: We-Come-2-U.biz does not read well, would consistently be spelled wrong, is difficult to convey, and for the most part goes against all sound domain nomenclature. Yet, names like these are being registered by unknowing individuals and businesses each day.

Typically, those domain names lacking sound, solid structure, are eventually dropped.

Extending Your Companies Reach!

Current website owners are buying additional generic domain names to
build “sister” sites, and increase internet traffic

Internet Goal #1 :Increase Internet Traffic!

Achieving Success On The Internet With Great Domain Names

Savvy marketers and website owners are building “sister” sites to extend their companies reach. These professionals understand that targeted, generic (.com) domain names are an effective brand positioning strategy for their industry.

These premium names strengthen their leadership position, and differentiate their business and website in a crowded market.

They understand the intuitive and enduring value of these names (and) that once a premium domain is registered to them, it is theirs, and only theirs.

You can purchase existing domain names as mentioned, or opt for registering domain names that may still be available. Either way, you are wise to take into consideration the many factors that make a great domain name.

Savvy marketers and website owners understand that targeted,
generic (.com) domain names are an effective brand positioning
strategy for their industry.

Some of the factors one may consider when purchasing a domain name are:
Is it a generic term Internet users are looking for each day, e.g., “home office furniture?” Does it have the (.com) extension? How does it sound, is it easy to spell correctly, or does it contain numbers and/or hyphens? There are many factors that set great domain names apart from the pack.

Buying Domains FAQ

admin — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 22:44:58 +0000

Commonly asked questions regarding premium domain name purchases:

Please define domain name?

Technically speaking, a domain name is an identification label that defines a realm of administrative autonomy, authority, or control in the Internet. Based on the Domain Name System (DNS), your domain name is your website address, your unique online identity.

And quite simply, it is the address on the web where people will look to find your business, non-profit organization, blog or information site. This address is (yours and only yours), and no one else around the world will have the same domain name as you.
Once secured, as long as you continue to renew it each year, it will be yours, always. It is typically used as your email address, as well. Example: info@ModernGardenDesign.com.
Once I have completed the domain name purchase, how long does it take before I can begin using my new domain name?

Following confirmation of your payment, “forwarding” the domain name to another site, takes 1- 2 days.
Complete domain name transfer is typically complete within 3 business days.
What do you mean when you refer to forwarding the domain name?

Domain forwarding lets you “automatically” direct your domain’s visitors to a different website.
Upon purchasing or leasing a domain name, will I incur any additional fees above and beyond the published price?

Depending on the dollar amount of the domain name, payments go through either Paypal or Escrow.com. If Escrow.com is utilized, there will be a fee of typically 2 – 3 % of the purchase price, payable by the domain purchaser. With PayPal there are no additional fees to the domain purchaser. You will know quite easily upon starting the transaction whether it is set-up for Paypal or Escrow.

If you’re interested in leasing a name for a period of time for a special promotion, etc, contact us and we will try our best to assist in your request.
Instead of buying a premium domain name, why not register a new name instead?

You can certainly do that but, for a long time now, thousands of domain names have been registered each day and in turn, thousands are being abandoned each day. Why?, primarily because those previously registered names were not good names. They were not the caliber names one needs to be taken seriously in the world of online business. The internet has become a very competitive place and having the right name, can make all of the difference.

For further information regarding buying domains – see go to choosing domain names.
Are the published prices negotiable?

The established prices for single domain purchases are very fair. Assuming really good (and available) keyword domain names become more scarce with time, they will continue to go up in price, as they have to this point.

Discounts are given to clients, and domain investors, purchasing more than one domain name at a time. Contact us at info@fortunatedomains.com
Is financing available?

Yes, for most transactions. Please contact us for details.
What are the advantages of having multiple domain names?

Visibility! Exposure! Companies purchase additional domain names to promote their products and services, thereby expanding their reach and increasing their potential for sales. Having several websites connected which offer different products and services, grants much broader exposure and opportunity.
Do you provide hosting services?

No, but we do recommend several very good hosting companies on the website hosting page.

If you haven’t had an opportunity yet, please see the guide to choosing domain names.

Why Buy Premium Domain Names?

admin — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 02:32:00 +0000

Premium Domain Names Stand The Test Of Time!

Month after month, and year after year, the search engine rules,
algorithms, and players, continue to change,
while online competition continues to grow.

This is placing tremendous importance on companies OWNING their ‘generic descriptive domains’ (especially in the .COM extension) for their products, e.g. Diapers.com, and for services, e.g. DefenseAttorney.com.
Ergo, a big reason ‘exact match’ domain names continue to increase in value.

Exact match domain names are familiar terms – giving them authority and making them much easier for users to recall, and can offer some search results boost.

Purchasing Premium Domain Names

YET, even more “importantly,”as we look to the future, and the number of websites increase and become more refined, Internet users can easily locate sites and information targeted to their needs by simply typing their search phrase into their address bar and adding (.com).
Referred to as direct navigation, Internet users can go directly to the source of their inquiry, finding exactly what they are looking for, e.g. PalmSprings.com, DogGroomers.com, or NewYorkCityHotels.com

Key to a websites continued success and future
is that ‘Direct Navigation’ does not have to rely on the
ever-changing search engine rules and players

Wanting information quickly, and dissatisfied with inquiry results that display links to “mega sites” that contain one article of information on nearly every subject under the sun…, internet users will accurately target the people, products, and places they seek directly.

***

To help you make an informed domain name decision, we’ve included several free resources including a guide on How To Choose A Domain Name, videos on the topic of Buying Domain Names, and links to additional information.

The Benefit of Premium Names to our Customers,
their Websites, and their Businesses

These domain names are easily memorable.
Most are derived from targeted, generic phrases that people and companies search for each and every day.
They have the benefit of receiving direct type-in traffic.
When presented with a long list of search results, people see instantly that the name of your website is completely relevant to their search request.
They follow the domain name best practices for domain selection.

Combined with good content and a solid marketing program, great domain names like
“Professional Grade Tools.com“, or “Mt Bachelor Oregon.com,” can put your website and your business on top!

You may have heard that Toys.com sold last year for over $5 Million. Or Party Supplies.com, recently sold this year for $360,000. While these domain name sales were exceptional…, premium names are valued higher, and will continue to appreciate.

Starting With A Great Name
is the first step towards positioning your website closer to success!

The Internet continues to become more competitive, yet, when implemented properly, the opportunities online are outstanding!!!
