so with so many Domains and more being added to my portfolio I decided to spend a little more time trying some search arbitrage with keyword domains i own. I can say its s easy yet takes some homework to make it work! If you are not familiar with what Search Arbitrage is….here is the quick crash coarse.
You take a domain you own say BlockBuster online rental and then you setup a simple page with keywords and use say google adsense to generate some ads on the page. Then you go to yahoo search marketing and you bid as low as possible to drive traffic to your domain which is showing results from another source….So the perfect circumstance would be you pay a few cents..0.05-0.10 and visitors clikc on one of the ads that are worth 1.00 a click!…(only in a perfect world) so you make the money in the middle!
It is by far one of the easiest ways to make money ASSUMING! You can find a stable niche that you can not have to keep an eye on daily as bid values change.
So I personally toke like 7 of my domains and did this…and after 3 days of watching the clicks income vs cost..only 1 was worth doing it..the rest either did not get enough clicks or the click values was to low.
One niche was amazing! I spent only $0.25 and made $2.39…that’s the type of return I like to see. Now I need to increase the traffic and replace this niche else where!
Now there is 1 site that was basically breaking even or making me just a penny per click. Which is what made me write this post…in theory you don’t need to make much per click but you do need to do it on a mass scale.
If I could generate 100,000 clicks and only make a penny…that’s $1,000 not bad! For doing nothing…even if you break even you could run CPM banners, maybe try to collect emails or simply enjoy the American express points you earn for spending on ad dollars….if you get creative there are ways to make nothing into something!
