Buy domains, old or new

Trading domains is often a long term investment; a few weeks, months or even years ahead before selling ithem. There are several reasons for this but one of the main reasons is that older domain has a higher SEO (Search Enginge Optimization) value.

Buy existing or new domains?

There are distinct advantages to buying an existing domain name and one of the main advantages is that there will already be traffic flowing to this website. The actual amount of traffic being directed is likely to vary depending on how much effort the previous owner has put into promoting the website, but it is worth bearing in mind that a little traffic is better than none, which would certainly be the case in the zero number of visitors delivered to a newly named website.

Search engines has alreay indexed older domains and you can help it along the way and raise the value of your domain by putting up a website with some relevant content on it. The copy or content can be found, free for republishing, in different ezines online.

Many of the domain professionals have bought their domains many years before they actually put them up for sale and it is no wonder why they can cash in $100.000 on one single domain. You just have to know what you are doing and plan ahead.

However, to cash in $500 per domain you dont have to wait that long. A few weeks or a couple of months is often enough.

Buying a new domain means you have a lot more freedom to chose the name and the price is probably not more than $5 to $9 per year. When choosing the domain name you should consider picking a name that anctually has som SEO value. By this I mean a name that is relevant to the sites intended content and that search engines like.
