Getting domain names at good prices

Are you looking for some really well priced domain names to get your business up and running? I know of a great place that you can get some really well priced domain registration and you won’t actually need to pay a premium price to register the domain names either. I have tried buying domain names from auctions and I have been quite successful at it. But whenever I need to buy a new domain name this is the site that I visit. The user interface is just so simple and easy to use and there is just nowhere that they are trying to sell you things that are just not needed. If you want weh hosting you can buy that no problem at all. But if you just want to buy the domain name they are not automatically trying to sell you something else at the same time. I have now registered well over 200 domain names with them for my clients and the service that I have gotten from them each time I have actually had to speak to them is really quite good.

The 3 Minute Auction and Minute Auction Explained

Am I the only person who doesn’t know what a 3 minute auction is? Looking for fresh content for my site, I discover that “minute auction,” or even a 5, 10 and 30 minute auction is a popular item. Some auction sites may refer to a minute auction as a “Live Bid.” The “minute auction” or “3 minute auction” actually comes the closest to duplicating the excitement (and anxiety) of a real auction. No, it is not the same as an Ebay minute auction.

I will give the example of Bidz.com. Bidz.com uses Flash technology to constantly update in real-time auction bids right before your very eyes! The price goes up, up, up and the time clicks away … down, down, down!. Add flashing green highlights for added new bids and red flashing for the ominous approaching 0 minute and to say the least, it is quite thrilling.

On the Bidz home page, there is a link that says 3-minute auctions. This is a separate category all by itself. If you click that link you are taken to the 3 minute auctions, usually consisting of jewelry. (Note: See end of article for “The 3 minute auction – too good to be true?”)

A word of caution: It takes a little finesse to bid at these fast-paced auctions – and I mean FAST! You must be EXTREMELY CAREFUL when bidding. The highest bid I came across on my visit was for $1500. My advice would be to practice on the dollar starting bids. Bids quickly escalate to $15 and $30. In the words of BidZ:

“If you are bidding on items in the 3 Minute Auctions category, you will not be notified if you are outbid. These auctions move very quickly, so you have to monitor your winning bids very carefully.”

Back on the 3 minute auction page of BidZ, what do you see? From left to right: the product picture, the item number, title, price, bids, and time left. The “bids” and the “time left” are where the auction action is at. But just as its nearing 0 minutes left, it jumps up to more time left – what gives? According to Bidz.com:

“If the bid is placed during the last minute of an auction, the auction will be automatically extended for an additional 1 minute from the time of the latest bid. The auction will close once all bidding has stopped for a period of 1 minute.”

OK – I decide I am going to get in on this action. Registering is free (username must be a combo of numbers and letters). I have to click on the picture to go to the listing to actually bid according to Bidz.com directions below:

1) Simply use the “plus” and “minus” graphic keys to select the amount you would like to bid. The amount of the next bid is automatically one dollar more than the current bid. If you only want to place a one dollar bid, you can just click the Bid button without any adjustments.

2) Click the bid graphic button to register your bid. PROBLEM: I click the Bid! button and then find out I have to register my credit card in order to bid – but they didn’t tell me that when I was registering (even though I quite expected it).

Another problem I encounter is a sluggish modem. By the time I reach the listing page and the picture and bid button loads, the auction can be over (sigh…).

Its not hard to become giddy over the amazing deals of a 3 minute auction…too good to be true? 3 minute auctions “typically offer expensive items, such as Cartier watches, Beanie Babies, computers, and cars at prices that are low enough to dull the scam alarm in most people.”

This was taken from an auction fraud article. The same article reports that the Federal Trade Commission has identified a scam email that includes “Live 3 minute auctions” in the subject line. See the details of the 3 minute auction scam at http://www.chiff.com/a/fSCAMauc.htm

For a list of minute-auction websites, refer to: The 3 minute auction list at http://shmyl.com/dpzison

My final words: The 3 minute auction and minute auction are the epitome of auction entertainment. So pop some popcorn, invite some friends over, and have yourself some Friday night auction fun!

Buying A Website Through An Auction Site

If you want to earn an online income, then you need to have your own website. To get one, you have two choices; you can either build your own website, or you can purchase one that has already been established.

Building your own website is not as difficult as you may think it to be, and there are plenty of free online guides around to help you do so, but it will take up a fair amount of your time. There is the initial designing and coding of the website to think about, then you have to write several pages of content for it, and then you have to get it indexed and ranking well in the search engines. On the plus side, it can de done very cheaply, if you do all of the work yourself, then your total outlay could be as low as just $20, which is the cost of buying a domain name and hosting your website on a server for a year.

If you have some spare cash available though, and do not want to spend months building your own website, then purchasing an established and already performing website represents the best option. If you go down this route, as well as saving yourself time, you will be in a position to start making money straight away, as you will already have the basics and, most importantly, a good flow of existing traffic, in place. Having those foundations to build upon will make your rate of progress much quicker too, as the older a website is, the more authority it is given by the search engines, and the easier you will find it to rank highly in Google, Yahoo and Bing.

There are a number of online auction websites created specifically for the buying and selling of established websites. You can browse through literally hundreds of for-sale websites on a whole range of topics, from health to car insurance to weight loss to gadgets. Whatever you want, you will almost certainly be able to find it, and all budgets are catered for.

You need to keep a calm head though, and think with your head and not your heart. Remember that you want a website that makes you money, and not just one that looks nice. Therefore, ask the seller lots of questions, and ensure that you are 100% knowledgeable on at least the following information before making an offer…

-The monthly income of the website
-How many unique visitors the website attracts each month
-What keywords the website ranks for in the search engines

As for the price, websites generally sell at approximately 10 times their monthly income. So, for example, a website that earns $100 a month, would be worth around $1000. There is always room for negotiation though and, due to the auction format used, it is quite possible to get a great website at a discount price.
