Should PageRank matter to domainers?

There was a time when webmasters & domainers were going crazy about PageRank. Everyone was trying to get a high PR ranking for their sites n pages by doing all sorts of ‘SEO and promotion. Only a few months later and PageRank isn’t as sought-after as it once was. Some people believe its useless – but they shouldn’t knock it.

A bit about PageRank

PageRank (PR) is a Google tool that measures the important of a web page. It uses a number of criteria such as quality of page content, ‘keywords, ‘backlinks, value of incoming links – so on and so forth… In the past having a higher PR meant getting better search engine rankings, thus more traffic. However, this isn’t entirely the case any more.

How people angered the big “G”

You see, people started to abuse the PR system (plus I don’t think it was that accurate anyway), there were ways in which to “trick” Google into getting a higher PR. Well, it didn’t take the big G (thats Google by the way) long to catch on and change its tactics.

Google fights back

Quite recently a lot of people noticed big changes in their PageRank’s for websites. Some went up, others went down. This was because Google made the changes.

Google has changed the way it measures the importance of a page and also how PR is shown to the public.

Domainers overlook PageRank!

Since all this has happened a lot of domainers have started to overlook the PageRank value when it comes to buying / selling domain names. In the past a buyer would pay a lot more if a domain name had PR value, even a PR1 to PR3 value was advertised as one of the main selling points.

I’ve noticed this is no longer the case. Don’t me wrong many people still pay more for a higher PR domain name but its not a major buying/selling point, especially if the domain in question has no keyword value.

A high PR domain in the past meant it most likely had good traffic. This was the first thing that increased the value of a domain name. You could buy a high PR domain, have instant traffic and get good search placement despite having a complete new site/content.

So whats changed?

It doesn’t take google long to work out if a domain has changed hands… plus if the content changes or in most cases of domain trading – there is NO content (eg. a picked up expired domain)… then the usefulness of PR is no longer of much value.

Most PR domains are picked up from expired domains lists – but the problem is, while that domain was in the expiring/delete cycle (for about 40 days plus!) it lost a lot of value in Googles eyes.  During the delete cycle the domain no longer points to any sites/content- when Google sends its spiders to look at the site – it finds nothing and so it reduces in PR value. Over 40 days it loses a lot of value. All this casuses the PageRank to go down by the time the next update for PR comes around (PR updates happen around every 3 months apparently).

The traffic will slowly die down once Google starts to de-index the pages. And eventually it will loose all the back-links… unless the new owner developers a similar site with decent content again.

I thought you said “PR still matters”

Yes, I did… don’t worry I’m coming to that.

PageRank still matters, especially when the domain is being sold (or targetted) to end-users. It matters more for endusers than it does for resellers. So as a seller, having a good PR domain will still help you get a better sale.

Tell me how!!!

Buyers (endusers) know that if a domain name had PR then it means it was indexed by Google. This saves them time in comparison to trying to get a brand new no PR domain indexed. Provided the buyer already has plans for the domain, he would fill it with content and Google will give the site good traffic again.

Another point is to do with text-links. If the buyer was to sell text links on the site then he/she could deman a slightly higher price for those links based on the PR. And thats becuase for many non-domains/developers – PR still matters. The average person who buys advertising (such as text links) still sees value in PR.

So… there you have it!

Don’t quote me on any of this… I could be a bit off in terms of the technical workings of PR etc. But this is just to give a basic idea and thoughts based what I observed in the domianing industry.

Do tell me what you think… leave a comment below!

The domain name comes with a pre-made logo which will be provided for FREE in various formats (JPG/PNG and ‘PSD files).

Armyz.com Free PSD Logo

Short (5 letter) Domain Name

The domain name consists of just five letters. Finding domains like this to register by hand is almost impossible. All the good and even half decent five letter domain names have already been registered, making this a rare find.

Perfect for Web 2.0

Short brandable domain names are perfect for ‘web 2.0 web sites. They easy to remember, easy to type and can easily be branded. Having the word “Army” in there also makes this name stand out and create great development possibilities.

Example ideas/suggestions for the Domain

You may already have ideas for this domain name but here are just a few right off the top of my head…

  • Social Networking Site – turn it into the next big social networking site. What about a cool slogan like “Create your armyz at armyz.com”. Armyz can be what you call groups, people join and become part of groups or “Armyz”.
  • Online RPG / Gaming site – Great for either a text based or flash based game site. “Create an account, train your soldiers and go to battle with your armyz!”
  • Name of a Record Label – Again this will easy fit as the name of a record label… especially for a Drum and Bass record label. In fact…
  • Artist Management / Booking Agency – For managing or booking artists. This would be a great name for a booking agency, especially with Drum and Bass considering the “army / jungle / soldier” theme. “Join the Armyz Booking Agency”.

Thats just a few quick ideas, but put your thinking cap on you’ll surely come up with hundreds of better ones than I have. The possibilities are only limited by your imagination!

Price

I have yet to set a solid price for this so I’m willing to listen to reasonable offers. You can make an offer via Sedo.com or using my ‘Domain Portfolio right here on Demonised.com.

So, you’ve exchanged links with similar sites, submitted your sites to ‘web directories’ – now how do you check how many backlinks you’ve accumalated?

Well, there’s a few simple to use tools to help you find just that.

Google doesn’t always give you all the existing backlinks, not always up-to-date… it gives some but doesn’t always show them all. A lot of people also use Yahoo! as well as Google to find more accurate numbers.

FAQ (Domains)

What is “Domaining”?

The term “domaining” is used to describe the business of buying, selling, developing and monetizing Internet domain names. This is where the domain names are being used for investments instead of developing websites.

Think of it as Internet real estate if you like. The person involved in this business is usually referred to as a “domainer”. He/she invests in domain names with the hope of selling them for a profit to an “end-user” or even to other domainers.

You can think of it as buying empty land, not for the purpose of building a house on it, but as an investment with the view to sell to someone who has might want to build on it.

Sale: AdwordsCenter.com

AdwordsCenter.com gets a few visits and is generating revenue from clicks whilst being parked at Sedo. I’ve added the domain to my domains portfolio – if you’re interested you can either make me an offer via the portfolio or via Sedo – which ever you prefer.

AdwordsCenter.com

The domain has been parked at Sedo since the end of May 2008… Counting from June 2008 the domain has received 80 unique views and 17 clicks – totaling just over €6 (euros) in revenue.

Not a huge deal in terms of traffic and revenue – but keep in mind the domain has not been optimized and has only been parked (never developed as far as I know).

Therefore it would have to be assumed that the visitors are coming from pure type-in traffic.

Furthermore, they are actually clicking on related adverts, proven by the good click-through ratio.

Also, the payout from each click has been very good in most cases. Highest being around $2 from one click.

Possible uses

You could buy the domain and develop it into a website about Adwords – a blog/information center about how to make use of adwords. Basically a traffic/promotions website.

Considering the high paying clicks just from parking, you could be getting at least double that amouth using adsense or yahoo ypn – not to mention affiliate links and private advertising.

Price

I’m not looking for a big sale on this, just a quick one.

Taking offers from $75+

NamePros Live Auction – 19th June

I haven’t had any great luck with the NamePros.com live auction yet. Mainly because I’m usually out when the auction starts and only twice made it back home in time before it ended (but by then I missed the best part).

Since the Live Auctions started, I’ve submitted at least one lot of names at every auction. The first 2 times they did quite well. I sold a batch of LLL.in’s at twice the price I was expecting. However, the past few auctions haven’t been as good.

NAMEPROS LIVE AUCTION : 19TH JUNE 2008 @ 10PM GMT

I remember a few weeks ago I put 5 names and set a reserve of just $50. I was expecting the lot to fetch upwards of $100, but it didn’t even make the reserve! Since then, I’ve sold 3 out of the 5 of those domains for more than $40 each.

I guess its a matter of luck combined with what other domains are at auction at the same time. I’ve noticed my lots have always come right towards the end of the auction. By which time most people have spent their budgets, left the auction or just fallen asleep at their desk considering its quite late in the evening.

Anyway, I’m giving it another shot. I’ve put a bunch of names up for auction:

VirusDefinitions.info – Great keywords!!
AcneRemedies.info – Highly searched and high paying keywords.
SpywareBlockers.info – Gets 2-3 unique visitors per day 8-10 clicks per month.
DanceCostume.info
SpywareFree.info

Click here to view the auction or to bid

The domains have already passed the reserve price, but no way near what I was expecting even at pre-bidding stage.

I sold VirusUpdates.info just a few days ago for $45, plus AllergyRemedies.info for (i think) $25. Yet ALL five of those names above aren’t attracting more than $25 in total! Strange.

Someones going to get a really good deal if it stays like this.

Anyway, will report back on that soon.
