Here’s the thing: I own some amazing domains (offended.com, dullard.com, armchair.net, casserole.net, epilator.net, necklace.net and a shitload of others) and have even bought DomainingTips.com from LordB a while back. I wanna launch something HUGE this year and need high 5 figs / low 6 figs at the very least.

Selling lots of domains is basically my only option. Together with Moniker and SnapNames, I’m organizing the DomainingTips and SnapNames “New Year’s Showcase Auction”. It started today (a couple of hours ago) and will end on the 12th (so next Tuesday).

There was only one “catch”: I had to go with extremely low reserves, so I need to attract as many bidders as possible because otherwise, I’d practically be giving away domains. I know a lot of you guys are bloggers, a post on a blog which is read by webmasters/domainers/whatever would help a LOT!

What’s in it for you?


  • A lifetime blogroll link on DomainingTips.com (it has ranked on the first or second page for the term “domaining” since like forever, so there’s obviously a lot of link juice as well as traffic involved) and TheRatingBlog.com (shitloads of content, decent rankings, some nice organic traffic and link juice: I bought this one from its former owner a short while before purchasing DomainingTips from LordB)
  • Unlimited sexual favors
  • A favor or two… or three… or ∞ (seriously, I never forget shit like this: contact me whenever there’s anything I can be of help with and I’ll make things happen asap)

If you don’t own a blog but still wanna help, I’d definitely appreciate absolutely anything which generates traffic for the blog post below (tweets, stuff like that). Here’s my blog post about the auction (if you’ll be blogging about the auction, please link to my blog posts because it might be confusing if you link directly to the auction):

The DomainingTips and SnapNames "New Year's Showcase Auction"

And I wanna give back to the community as well, maybe some “member of the month” contests with tempting cash prizes? Or maybe some random contests? Post whore contests? Trivia?
 


Yo man, sorry I don't have a site that's more related, or else I'd definitely throw a post up. Hope you kill it though, and sell all of them. Best of luck man.

Thanks Korrupt, I gotta promote the auction like a maniac because if I don't manage to generate some bidding wars, I'm fucked. That's the thing with domain auctions, the auction houses (in this case SnapNames) always insist that you go with extremely low reserves and if only 1 or 2 people end up bidding for a domain you agreed to list on the cheap... c'est la vie :)

  • Unlimited sexual favors

I'm in it for the favors!

A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. Oh and I was only kidding when I said "unlimited", you know that right... right?:anon.sml:
 
i own a nice active forum full of mailers. Ill send you a link and if you want to join to post link to your sales, ill send you an invite. k.
 
Good luck with the auction. I'll tweet it to my followers. I'd blog about it, but the only person who reads my blog is my mother.
:costumed-smiley-087
 
Yo! Good luck dude. I will write something about it on my blog and send it over to my mailing list. :)
 
Yo Charlie, I am not up for any of the domains as I am not a domain neither do I have time for any new projects but you could try to email some people who own sites which are on pages maybe 5-6 and up of google for the terms, they might be interested in buying it for the seo value :banana_sml:

I will also let out a tweet to my followers :)
 
There's some nice domains in there.

My faves:
AudioCabinet.com
ComputerChair.com
ConfiscatedCars.com
FunnyMistakes.com
HeatedBoots.com

...and the list goes on. Wow man! That is some portfolio! So many possibilities in there.
 
Ive been following domaining tips for a while and one of the posts launched my bid to sell my iphone site a while back.. thanks brar and good catch with domainingtips charlie.

Armchair.net (Love it.. just love it..google will love u)
computerchair.com (this would rank quickly within a couple of weeks on yahoo and slowly on google)

you should send out a press release ontop of all your marketing and contact the guys on this list here..

Good luck with the sale.
 
Hey, I've noticed that a lot of domaining bloggers are writing about your auction. Good job Charlie!
 
Charlie - PM me your email address. I can drop a post in a couple of sites we run and send something out to our list.
 
Charlie all the best man, I am getting a feeling that you will make a killing out of this mate.
