liamloveslearning Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Hi everyone I bought some domains a while back now because I thought they could work well on a project and are very brandable, Only I have no idea what to do with them now, I have www.itshis.co.uk and itshers.co.uk; Anyone have any ideas?!

Garethp Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Sell them or make websites on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
premiso Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Since you own them, you can use Google Adsense Domain (if you think anyone will goto them) and make a little revenue off of ads, but if no one ever goes there kinda pointless.

zq29 Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 ...because I thought they could work well on a project... Do they no longer work well for a project then? Why not develop them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liamloveslearning Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 I was thinking of dropshipping solutions for the both of them, sell female products on itshers and male on itshis; not sure what products yet however, Has anybody ever had experience dropshipping?

zq29 Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Drop shipping puts a lot of responsibility in your hands. It's pretty much selling someone elses stock, but you deal with all of the customers. I'd look into affiliate marketing, you display the products on your own site, but the user clicks through to the merchants site and you get a commission for the sale.

liamloveslearning Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 I see where your coming from in regards to AM > DS, but I cant see how it would build up visitor loyalty if its basically a gateway to another website, Thanks a lot for your input tho, Ill have to research the both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnoTheDev Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I would just use them for test development or as premiso said, turn them into adsense domains and bang links around the web to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jspodisus Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 You don't have to let your unused domains just lay around gathering dust though. There's actually many ways you can make money from them, and today we'll look at three of the easiest. Domain Parking - The fastest and most simple way of making money from an unused domain name is to simply park it at a service such as Sedo, where you'll be paid a portion of the click income that's generated from visitors to the domain. Domain Redirection to Affiliate Products - Another very easy way to create a steady stream of income from unused domains is to simply redirect the domain to an affiliate product or program you're associated with. Automated, Self Updating Sites - This is actually one of my favorite things to do with unused domain names, because it allows you to slowly grow a larger site which can increase the amount of money it makes over time, increase the amount of traffic visiting it, and it will be a sellable asset in the future if you decide not to keep it.

xcoderx Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 amazon got no network in india i guess it dont even ship to india Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnoTheDev Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 amazon got no network in india i guess it dont even ship to india Who cares if your in India. You are advertising Amazons products and taking a commission from sales. Your target audience could be anywhere in the world where Amazon ships to: US, UK, Europe If you are more interested in targeted marketing i.e your website is targeted at people in India so you only want to serve adverts that offer a service to the people of India that they may be interested in i.e Mobile phones, broadband, etc then just search through some of the companies websites and see if they do any affiliate marketing schemes.

liamloveslearning Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 I've parked them with googles adsense for domains atm, Im working on another project for the time being; In regards to an automated site I love the prospect, I completely overlooked it but I might use an aggregator of some sort; Thanks everyone!

liamloveslearning Posted February 26, 2010 Author Share Posted February 26, 2010 As im still a novice with php, Would it be possible to build an aggregator website which would show all products in a particular amazon category? Then If people visit my website and make a purchase id make x%? Has anybody any experiecne/examples of affiliate/self updating websites?
