Inspired by Tristan Louis’s research into the value of each link to Weblogs Inc, Dane Carlson created this little applet using Technorati’s API which computes and displays your blog’s worth using the same link to dollar ratio as the AOL-Weblogs Inc deal.

Hmmm…Internet Mastery Center Blog is worth $34,436.94, not bad. No matter, I can’t decide whether the price on your blog is tongue-in-cheek or for real. After all, the blog is only as worthy as the content, which in turn is as worthy as the wisdom of its blogger. Selling an established blog to the next blogging owner does not necessarily sustain loyalty of readership; readers only go to whoever they wish to follow. The value of that virtual real estate will be affected after the money has changed hands, unless the new owner pretends to be the previous blogger in name, but that’s stoopid. I believe an actual trade would only take place based on domain name trading mechanisms upon the analysis of PR, hit rates, age etc.

Domain name trading is, after all, an established industry with all its rules and politics. Folks like Dr. Mike Woo-Ming and my Money Mastery buddy Shi Heng Cheong are seasoned hands at creating portfolios of expired domain names and “squatting in the jungle” for the right time to let them off for a premium price.

Interestingly, I have long suspected that people who deal in property investment and stock market would be very adapt at domain name trading because the mindset is already well honed for crucial timing…well, some similarities are there, like getting hold of names the moment they expire on that very day.

It used to be a heck of a gold rush registering all the creative word combinations you can discover with a .com placed behind them. I wonder how many domain squatters are now stuck with domain names that other people may want to possess but don’t know where and how to get them. That should be easy with the availability of background details from the WHOIS registrar, and yet the information may not be updated at the turn of expiry date…very tricky. The trading aspect is mostly the trickiest part where negotiation and mutual goodwill is concerned. On the other hand, squatters may hold on to domain names that depreciate in value some years down the road only to finally realize they are absolutely useless. They just don’t know how to evaluate the present and projected monetary value of those names and quickly find a targeted buying audience via an established channel to let them go for a timely profit.

What if I say that there is an e-book that teaches you how to be a savvy domain name investor, and within a matter of days you will know everything about domain trading, domain speculating, domain investing and using domain names to generate a passive income?

Yes, please continue to nod your head :) I know you want to learn more.

Matt Smith, co-author of Domain Profiteer, emphasizes that expired domains are where you want to invest your money, because of the targeted traffic that some of these used domains can attract. And in Internet Marketing, traffic means money, targeted traffic means a lot more money.

Domain Profiteer includes a 1-month access to Domainer’s Edge which otherwise charges a monthly fee of $99.

Domainer’s Edge is a very powerful software for domain investors. It provides a lot of information on a domain at a mouse-click. These information will help you to make good decision to buy and sell your domains. In time, you will have the dexterity to get rid of the useless names in your portfolio and keep the good one to generate a monthly income. Not only that, you just might stumble upon a PR6 site for a bargain offer and reuse or resell it to your own advantage!

However, domain name trading and investment is not for everyone, especially when you need to be on time watching domain auctions in action. With all that’s being said, not many Internet marketers, or people in general, are savvy enough to handle the risk involved in investment and evaluation of domain names, but it still means that there’s immense potential for first-movers. Domain name trading and investment is not the next big thing; it has been one of THE big things all these years, including today. To get educated, find out how Domain Profiteer can help you.
