Secret Last-Resort Methods

If you absolutely still cannot find buyers, you may need to get a little creative. Remember that things like phony bidding and spamming are unethical (and in some cases, illegal), but there are still ways to boost traffic, reach buyers, and talk up your domain name that really can help unload a bad domain name, at least to cover your initial registration expenses.

If you find yourself resorting to these methods more than 5-10% of the time, you may want to rethink the choices you are making when it comes to buying domain names. Are you paying too much for names? Remember, you have to be able to resell, so even if the name is worth $1,000 to the final user, it is not worth that much to you. Are you falling for scams? If you frequently find that you are getting stuck with unusable IDNs or misspelled names, you may want to be more careful when buying. This indicates that you aren’t taking the time to read the fine print or truly analyze your domain name. Are you finding buyers but having trouble closing the deal? Maybe you aren’t being professional enough in your emails and negotiations. Whatever the case may be, diagnose the problem if you are using the following tips too often. They’re great when you’re in a pickle, but they really are last resort methods.

• Traffic Exchange Programs

Traffic exchange programs can help boost your stats so that when you approach buyers you can make claims like having a high number of viewers. This can also help you turn a larger profit if you are part of an affiliate program. However, the traffic to your sites from traffic exchange programs will probably not be of very high quality. You’ll rarely get repeat viewers and the viewers you do get may not be interested in making a purchase. It’s not a good way to target readers if you want quality—it only works for quantity.

Traffic exchange programs also take up some of your time as well. They only work if you browse the Internet frequently, so if you only get online once a day, this is not the program for you.

When you sign up for a traffic exchange program, you list your domain names that are not doing as well as you would like. The program then sets your Internet homepage to their company. Every time you open up your web browser, the program will give you a number of links that you can click. You’re not obligated to click on any of these links, but it is in your best interest to do so. Every time you click, you get one credit. Each time you put a credit in the bank, your domain name will appear on someone else’s list for them to click.

There are thousands of people signed up to click links. However, they don’t really want to view your site—they just want you to view theirs. It’s not a great was to get viewers, but it is legitimate and you might see results. In any case, you can give it a shot to try to boost your traffic.
