SmartName Resource Center

For years I’ve been touting the benefits of parking and listing with Afternic. I’ve seen sale after sale for those who follow three simple rules:

1. List your names for sale on Afternic
2. Park with SmartName – or Afternic, which is powered by SmartName
3. Price your names

It’s been wonderful to see all the people sell their domains through Afternic’s DLS network, and maximize their parking revenue through SmartName’s advanced optimization techniques.

I have my own domain portfolio, as I’ve been building websites for many years and I have an Internet marketing/SEO background. I own a few hundred names: most have been hand-registered over the last several years and they’re primarily 2, 3, 4, word .com search terms. Some are good, others I can’t wait to drop! In short, nothing fancy.

As my focus is maximizing parking revenue, I’ve been testing my own names across the variety of monetization models available to Afternic partners – Enhanced PPC, Direct-To-Advertiser,

Ecommerce, Content, and Development. I continue to see amazing results even for newly registered domains – many pay for themselves in parking revenue alone.

Over the past few months, I’ve been slowly adding names to Afternic’s domain sales platform, taking advantage of the extra reach of the Domain Listing Service (DLS) premium promotion.

The results: I’ve already sold two names!

What’s interesting is that only two sales paid for my entire domain portfolio investment for a whole year.

NameMedia pioneered domain sales through parking using both its Afternic brand and SmartName. The massive distribution and global reach is available to all Afternic partners. Check it out – you won’t be disappointed!
