Domain Liquidations Announces Sale of BuyersGuide.com, FluShots.com, Recovery.com, NewsCompany.com, and More
advertisement on page A6 of the Wall Street Journal (think expensive) 14th November reflects a major shift in how premium domain names are bought and sold.
“DomainLiquidations.com uses highly visible advertising to match the premium domain with the buyer who values it the most. A domain name is worth what someone is willing to pay for it; this service finds the individual or entity willing to pay the most at any point in time,” adds Mr. Deneen.
When it comes to the value of domain names, Deneen believes the three most important things to look for are, “Intuition, Intuition and Intuition.” Playing off of “location, location, and location” for real estate investments. Deneen explains, “Intuition is everything when it comes to domain names. The more intuitive a domain name is, the less money you have to spend to get your marketing message out there, the greater its value as a call-to-action, the greater the likelihood customers will refer others to it, and finally the greater the chances that it will be found on the Web.”
“Take BuyersGuide.com — the Internet is one big buyer’s guide; you can develop a Buyer’s Guide for absolutely any or every product imaginable. This makes this domain name extremely valuable in the right hands, but to find the individual or entity who values it the most requires our service,” explains John Deneen.
