Why There Is Increase In The Popularity Of Domain Flipping In 2014

By Arees Furqan


Domain flipping is one of the more popular online businesses around. It involves buying and selling websites for a profit. There are two ways to do it. Either you buy an existing website or you register a domain, attach it to your hosting account, and build your website.



These types of extensions offered no clue as to what the sites attached to them were about. This emerged as one of the inadequacies of this registration protocol. It is then that development of a new registration took place.

The year 2014 will not be forgotten by domain flippers any time soon. It is the only time since the beginning of the dot com era that new registrations are taking place. The new registrations as outlined by ICANN are meant to provide businesses online with a befitting identity. Instead of using a .com domain for a shoe company, now the company can register a .shoes domain.

One can instantly see the power of these new domains. The domains will tell the visitor what you deal in even before they visit your website. From now on people will no longer be visiting the electronics website instead of the shoes website because of inputting the wrong extension in the browser. This will result in more targeted traffic for marketers. This is why domain flippers are lining up to buy these new domains in the hope of flipping them for a profit in the future.

In conclusion, 2014 will be a great year for the domain flippers since it is the year that these new domains will be open for registration. It is a great opportunity for those who were not present or who were left out during the great dot com era.

Look for domains in areas you understand. You are more likely to know what to buy and when to sell when you are familiar with what the domain is for. Being aware of trends and news relevant to the domains you own can make a huge difference in the amount of money you make off of them Consider flipping entire websites, not just domains. Flipping a site that already has a following is much more lucrative than simply flipping a domain. Even a simple blog will do. Try utilizing SEO to drive up traffic.
