This is pretty interesting. Just asking charlie but how much are you making off your own site? Net profits after advertising and hosting costs. I would think other then advert it wouldnt cost that much to keep this site up.

Are you working solo or is this a team/company effort?

I'm spending 4 figures per month just on the sponsored Domaining.com listings, advertising is definitely my #1 expense. How much am I making? Hard to tell since the site is only 2 weeks old, need more data. I doubt my margins will be impressive but I had realistic expectations right from day one.

Two people are helping me out atm, Victory is the programmer and moratraffic is in charge of the twitter account, both of 'em are doing a GREAT job :)

He's probably automating, or planning to, most of that site. He just comes on here to discuss the whole concept and methods of domain acquisition to help people new to it.

It'd be a major drain on his moral in the long run if he stuck to just that site.

Once I'm confident that Auctionpus.com is on the right track, I'll put someone I trust in charge of everything.
 
Our "day 10" auctions have ended, here are the 8 domains which are being auctioned as we speak (all of the auctions will end tomorrow at 2 PM EST):

JavaMoss.com

"Java moss" is a HUGE gardening term and the stats speak for themselves: 12,100 exact match global monthly searches and 27,100 broad global monthly searches. Need we say more? JavaMoss.com has a minimum bid and a reserve of $145.

VintageClubs.com

The term "vintage clubs" had 6,600 exact match searches in the US last month and has 33,100 broad global monthly searches, we're sure we don't have to put two and two together for you and explain why this two-word dot com domain is a gem! VintageClubs.com has a minimum bid and a reserve of $145.

PoorestCountries.com

The economy might be going down the drain but this much is certain: it could be a lot worse! Most people have no idea just how bad it could be, so let's just say that more and more stories about the world's poorest countries will dominate the Digg.com frontpage in the future and with a domain such as PoorestCountries.com, people will definitely take you seriously. PoorestCountries.com has a minimum bid and a reserve of $45.

KelvinTemperature.com

There will always be demand for a simple temperature conversion tool. People want to convert x degrees Fahrenheit or y degree Celsius to Kelvin degrees, putting together a simple script which does that shouldn't take more than a few minutes (literally). KelvinTemperature.com has a minimum bid and a reserve of $45.

BohoPants.com

More and more people are starting to think that boho pants are cool, who are you to tell them otherwise? They want it, you know it, so put your marketing shoes on and SELL! BohoPants.com has a minimum bid and a reserve of $45.

PinkIvory.com

Pink ivory is a type of African wood used to make luxury products (for example billiard cues and knives), there's a LOT of money on the table and let's just say that if you're involved in the pink ivory industry, owning PinkIvory.com would be a dream come true! PinkIvory.com has a minimum bid and a reserve of $45.

FleeceLeggings.com

Use the AdWords keyword tool, find out everything you can about this product and then come back. You can either develop this baby and make money via AdSense/affiliate programs or you can pitch it to an end user, what will it be? FleeceLeggings.com has a minimum bid and a reserve of $45.

PersonalIncorporation.com

"Personal incorporation" is a term with a HUGE estimated average CPC of $6.62. Don't take our word for it, use the AdWords keyword tool if you think we're full of you know what. Renewing this baby will only cost about $8/year, so you're covered with even 2-3 clicks over a period of one year. PersonalIncorporation.com has a minimum bid of $1 and No Reserve!

Our "day 11" auctions have ended and as far as the auctions which started today are concerned, I have something special in store for you guys. I'll be out of the country until Friday and leaving things unsupervised at this point would be a mistake IMO (in the future, someone I trust will "take over" but right now, Auctionpus.com is a project which requires my personal attention).

I always have my laptop and netbook nearby (my "mobile office", so to speak) but that just isn't enough. As a result, the 8 auctions which started a few moments ago will end on Saturday at 2 PM EST instead of tomorrow. Take a look at the domains which are being auctioned right now (again, the auctions will end on Saturday at 2 PM EST), our best inventory yet:

CUGI.com

The best CVCV dot com we've ever auctioned. This baby has "premium" written all over it and when it comes to short domains, it just doesn't get any better than this! CUGI.com has a minimum starting bid and a reserve of $1,950.

Y.pe

By purchasing Y.pe, you're fighting on two fronts. On the one hand, it represents the best possible domain for an URL shortener and the fact that a lot of people say "y" instead of "why" when chatting online adds to its Web 2.0 potential. On the other hand, let's not forget that Peru (.pe) has a population of almost 30,000,000 and that Y.pe has HUGE local appeal as well! Y.pe has a minimum bid and a reserve of $3,950.

RockDrums.com

This domain has been registered back in 2000 and even a beginner knows that musical instrument niches are EXTREMELY profitable! Ready to dominate one? RockDrums.com has a starting bid and a reserve of $950.

UnmanagedHosting.com

There are two types of hosting, managed hosting and unmanaged hosting. Unmanaged hosting companies usually work with HUGE clients, we're talking about 6 or even 7 figure contracts, so it should come as no surprise that the estimated average CPC of the term "unmanaged hosting" is $20.18 (no, it's definitely NOT a typo)! You can either start your own company or act as a middleman, this much is certain: even a contract with just ONE well-funded client can make dreams come true! UnmanagedHosting.com has a starting bid and a reserve of $4,950.

Gum.net

We'd be insulting your intelligence by explaining why this domain is truly amazing, why state the obvious? The term "gum" has lots of meanings, there are more than a few extremely lucrative industried which are just waiting to be dominated by someone who owns a blockbuster domain such as this one. Gum.net has a starting bid and a reserve of $5,000.

Punches.com

The possibilities are endless: boxing, MMA, you name it! These sports have BILLIONS of fans and it should be obvious what this means: you can either treat this domain as an investment and sell it to an end user for a lot of money or you can develop it yourself and make money via AdSense, event affiliate programs, merchandise affiliate programs and the list could go on and on. Punches.com has a minimum bid and a reserve of $9,500.

Spyware.mx

The winner of the domain name Spyware.mx will receive AntiSpyware.mx as a bonus and by owning this pair, you're automatically a player in the lucrative anti spyware industry. What will it be? Do you want to sell it to a huge company later on or do you want to make a killing by developing these babies and monetizing them via affiliate programs? Spyware.mx (with AntiSpyware.mx included as a bonus) has a minimum bid and a reserve of $950.

WeddingArbors.com

This domain was registered back in 2000 and only a fool would say that wedding niches are not UNBELIEVABLY profitable. But don't take our word for it. Feel free to let someone else snag it, then watch him or her milk this cash chow for all it's worth. The decision is yours and only yours to make. WeddingArbors.com has a starting bid and a reserve of $950.
