At the finish of 2003, the domain Men.com sold for 1.3 Million Dollars. And
this lucky domain name investor originally paid $15,000 for it in 1997.

Not a bad investment huh?

Let me make one single point, the domain market is a lucrative one. Domain
names are sold and bought daily for big funds . The Internet is only in its
infancy so owning a nice domain title is like owning a nice piece of real
estate.

Domain names are the real estate of the superhighway.

So are you one of the lucky everybody that own several domain names? You can
be sitting on a winning lottery ticket.

Here are a few main characteristics of valuable domain names:

* Usually single word .coms are value big funds . Why? Because they get natural
type in visitors . If you owned Men.com and put up some advertising links or affiliate
products related to men, you could make a nice income by doing nothing. You wouldnt
even have to promote it.

* 2-3 Letter .coms are also assessment of value lots of money. Why? Because for one they are all taken and secondly big companies will usually seek them out if it is an acronym of their company.
Having a short, memorable domain title is key for many people to remember it. And 2-3 letters is
perfect!

* Typo domains of popular, well established companies. Although, if you own one of these, the big company might come knocking at your door to inquire of you to turn it over. For example, if you owned gooogle.com (note the excess o), Google could get the title because it is trademarked and it is too close to the original internet page title . In this case, Google.com owns, Gooogle.com.

If you want to find out the true value of your domain title , you might use different domain appraisal services. One of the best is Appraisalblast.com. For a very low price, they will give you a detailed report and let you know if you are sitting on that lucky lottery ticket.

In some cases, names you dont think are worth much...are. It all comes down to how important the name is to somebody.

The domain title business is a lucrative one and there are still grand names out there. It just takes some looking and also a creative mind to think ahead of what will be popular.
