Buying domains with Channel traffic continues to be an
effective way to drive quality, targeted visitors to your
"money" web site.

If you're not familiar with the Channel traffic strategy, it
essentially is used when you have a money website, that's
a website where you sell a product, service or otherwise earn
income from the site traffic.   Essentially, it's a non-parked
'real' website.  What you do is buy domains related to your
money website and redirect those domains to your money
website.

I do this with my site on foreclosures .  I've bought dozens of
domains and redirected them to this particular site.   And while
most of the traffic still comes from search engines and returning
visitors, the channel traffic has grown from 0 visitors a day to
hundreds each day.   These numbers really add up.

 

Today we launched a Free tool available for all domain investors and domainers who park their domain names.

Parking Stat Gadget

Overview:   The Parking stats gadget works with Google Desktop You must have the Google Desktop software installed to use the Parking Stats Gadget.  The Gadget is designed to make the viewing and monitoring of parking statistics more convenient.   The gadget enables you to view the visits, clicks, and revenue associated with your domain portfolio when parked at one of the supported parking services.  The gadget works by logging into your parking account and downloading the data to your gadget.

Today, we released several new features that allow members to view domains based upon the number of pages indexed in the various search engines as well as by the actual age of the domain.   These two new features give DE members a HUGE advantage when it comes to finding valuable domains.

When you log in to the DE member area you'll see the new columns.  As always, you can sort by column or filter by virtually any domain attribute. 

I put together a quick Overview Video of the new features here.

New Features Video


My goal is to give domain investors and entrepreneurs an unfair advantage when it comes to locating and securing valuable domains.  To meet this goal we must constantly improve.  Member feedback, as usual, has been critical to the latest round of significant upgrades.

As always keep the suggestions coming.  You can add them to the comments of this post or send an email to our support department.

With all the things going on in our lives/businesses it's challenging to always stay on top of all the opportunities available to us.   That's why were releasing a new feature in DomainersEdge which will allow you to stay on top of the domains of particular interest to you.   With this new feature you don't need to be digging through the domain database everyday, instead you just tell us what you're looking for and our engine does the heavy lifting on your behalf.  When we find what you're looking for we tell you about it.

"My Reports" emails will be live for DomainersEdge members within the next 48 hours.  What this means to you is that you can recieve daily emails with updates on domains which are available right now, are in auction, or are dropping soon which are of particular interest to you.

Here's how it works..

Within the DE interface under "Favorite Searches" create specific search criteria for domains you're looking for.  You can create a favorite search on virtually any criteria to really drill down to your specific interests.  The possibilities are limitless, but here are a few examples of Favorite searches you might set up.  "Show me domains which:

1. Have PR greater than 4
2. Contain a keyword (like foreclosure, marketing, wedding or whatever) and have backlinks listed in   Google and MSN.
3. Have Ovt/TLD, Backlinks from Google and are listed in the DMOZ directory.
4. Or any other combination of Indicators of traffic and domain characteristics."

Then, each day we compile your favorite searches into email format and send it to you. 

The superior tools within DomainersEdge is the result of member feedback.  Listen to the audio below to hear a quick audio recording on how your feedback makes all the difference and check out some of the new features coming down the pipe:

Here's some of the new Features:

1. Allow sorting by multiple columns.   Just like in excel you can sort by column A then Column B, Then column D.   It would be helpful for members to be able to do this same thing when looking at all domain lists.

2. Add reports that demonstrate what domains actually sell for so that people who are bidding in auctions have better information and we can better evaluate the resale value of domains.  

We will monitor the domain sales at the various domain marketplaces and database all of this data along with the indicators of traffic for those domains at the time of the sale.  The reason is, we want to know... when they sold, what were the indicators.   This will help us predict what a domain in auction right now might be sold for.  

We just released a domain typo tool that
allows you to scan for typos then checks
them for availability.

This new tool was based upon a suggestion
from a Premium member.  

I love feedback and suggestions so please
check out the typo tool and let me know
what you think.   AND, if you have any
other ideas for features, please let me know.
