Domain names are worth money! Are you aware that a .com, .net or .org domain could be worth more then real estate?

Once upon a time .com domain names were free to register. Now, everything in Websters dictionary has been registered and is worth upwards of $300,000 (US) per domain.

Its a new industry and its growing every day. Domain name squatting is nothing new but the price people are paying to become a domain squatter is!

Fact: All the best domain names were registered a long time ago. Every word in websters dictionary has been registered in .com, .net and .org formats. Two and three letter domain combinations are all registered, three character domain names the same for .com and almost out of stock for .net and .orgs. Names of cities, plants, animals, people and historical events are all taken. In fact anything pronounceable or marketable is coming to a stock shortage as well.

What does this mean?

It means that each year the value of owning and cyber squatting a .com is going up and up and up.

Our partner site Website Acquire is a resource for buying and selling domain names and established websites and in their industry they have seen sales over $8 million fora single domain name.

Its not just about domain names!

Have you got a website with traffic? People want established websites with real search traffic just as much as a domain name. The general sale of a website is 12 times their profit. Compare this to a business that is for sale which is sold at 4 to 5 times their annual profit.

If your thinking about jumping into this industry, try and get your hands on a pronounceable domain name, dictionary word or three or four letter domain. The value could be higher then the price of your house in the long run!
