Domain Name Registration - Investments That Reap Benefits (part 2)
It is pretty plain to see exactly what somebody wants by want they have typed out on the keyboard: There are so many people that search for cell phones who will actually type in cellphones.com time after time so these guys can save loads in advertising costs.
It's amazing that even with a shite page, you get traffic. If you blast them with banners and pop ups, you still get traffic. If your navigation is poor, well they just keep on coming. If you market a high price bracket product, nothings stopping them. It doesn't matter even if your site selection is not high quality they will keep on coming because of the power of your domain name. It goes without saying that I under no circumstances recommend this style of site content.
Type-in traffic which is when people type the URL into the search box is actually responsible for about half of internet traffic and is commonly known as direct navigation. If we just expand this a little bit though to see real results, about 30% of the total are just for Yahoo, MSN and Google. It really is incredible and I found out about all of these facts and other online user habits in a seminar last month and these user tips really will help you make lots of money.
More facts - 1) Address bar searches account for 31% of total searches. 2) The search bar accounts for 28% of the total of address lookups. Domainers actually earn quite a lot of their income due to the alarming fact that most people just don't know how to use the internet. So I suppose this would be why "yahoo.com" topped the list of searched terms.
So let's have a look at just how much cellphones.com is really worth in visitors. It's a lot and at 125,000 visitors a month they would need stringing up if they were unable to capitalize on their domain name power. Just on click revenues It could be making about $25.000 a month through type-in traffic only. If you put into place a proper affiliate program which will involve advertising costs and you paid a dollar for a keyword like "cell phones", you could still expect a six figure profit margin every month.
Imagine that you also owned cell phone store. You would probably hit the jackpot as a name like cellphones.com could probably increase sales by 2 or 3 million dollars every month and it's all down to domain credibility, so a domain like cellphones.com would probably reach a seven figure number. The underlying fact is that domain names should always be part of a very well structured business plan. investment-grade keyword domains are the actual basis for this e-commerce powerhouse which pays dividends and gives income up until you make the decision to sell your site.
