Want to Own DomainRookie.com?

Well, that was an interesting test. About ten days ago, I parked DomainRookie.com as a test. I wanted to see how the parked page would do at Sedo.com and if readers would miss it.

I was pleasantly surprised at the numbers. In the stats for the last seven days at Sedo, I received 4,154 uniques. I don’t think the name was optimized for the first 4-5 days, but now it is with “domain names” as the keyword. It’s received 19 clicks at 49 cent EPC.

I’ve received many emails from people who had to look up my email address on my Whois records to find me. They want the site back for the commentary and the resource page. Thanks for your support!

I’m going to continue with commentary here and, in fact, improve the site over time, as I see it’s desired and it’s getting the hits. I know can put in more effort to monetize it. I’ve really not done much at all to make money from it

However, I’m also going to put it up for sale at a pretty affordable price before I spend the time to beef it up I’ll take the first $5,000 (net to me after expenses) offer.

The site is hosted at my excellent web host, LivingDot.com, in an “add-on” account under my main account. I’m sure they would move the WordPress blog files and database to a new individual LivingDot.com account for free for someone opening up a new account there. It’s $11 a month and I see there is a 50% off coupon code on their home page right now. This company gives (you won’t believe it) five minute or less support response times. (I get no fee for recommending them)

So, if you’d like to run this blog, with all its room for growth, or use the domain for something else, let me know through the contact page on the site.

Note: This was a PR4 blog for a long time. It currently shows zero. It must have been the temporary parking that made it a PR0 for some reason, for the moment. I see I still have my Alexa rank of 174K

  1. Can’t believe you are back!

  2. Maybe you should tweak the adsense to get more click. You should try wordpress adsense plugin to incorporate it into the post. BTW, your website inspire me to get into this domaining business. Great informative blog!


  3. Your commentaries are interesting and readable. I recently compiled a list of 21 must read blogs for domainers, and I considered putting yours on the list. However, the fact that you are offering the domain for sale tells me that you are not serious about blogging. It’s quite possible that someone might buy your domain and park it, in which case all your useful content would no longer be available.
