An aftermarket can be best described as a domain name that is
registered by an individual or company, If this domain is for
sale that would be considered a domain that is being sold as an
aftermarket domain.
In the last few years the domain industry has continued to grow at an
enormous rate with some aftermarket domains being sold for millions of dollars.
These sales tend to make the news and there is even some websites dedicated
solely to reporting domain sales
DNjournal.com is the
premier leader with this information reporting weekly sales of domain names.
There is entire forum communities that are dedicated to domain names and
these forums attract thousands of active participants everyday. People visiting
these forums interact on a daily basis discussing domain names as well as buying
and selling names to one another. My favorite domain forum to visit where I am
an active participant is
Namepros.com the atmosphere at this site is very calm and a majority of the
people have been members there for a long time and are the friendliest bunch
online.
In today's domain marketplace there is auctions everyday and sale's being
conducted both privately and through brokers much like you would see homes being
sold via a real estate agent.
Then there is the newest form of revenue generating for anyone that owns a
domain name and this is called PPC (pay per click) To best describe PPC one must
first own a domain name and once you have acquired a domain name there is many
companies online that offer this service for FREE, We use
Namedrive.com for our PPC we have tried them all and it's our opinion that
Namedrive offers the best return. Once you have signed up for your FREE PPC
account wherever it may be you simply set your name servers at the registrar
level to point to the name server setup of the company you have chosen and voila
your traffic is now being directed to a PPC page and when users click onto the
supplied ad's on these pages you and the company are making money. This is
usually done with domains that you are not planning on developing or only have
intentions of selling on the aftermarket.
