If you use GoDaddy, there will be a small downward-facing arrow in front of all your domain names under 'My Domains.' Click on that arrow and select 'Set Nameservers.' GoDaddy and Afternic will supply you with what you should put in those boxes, usually NS1.AFTERNIC.COM AND NS2.AFTERNIC.COM for Afternic.
well done bros, too much of repetitive questions has driven a lot of pple frm this thread.

Hey guys,

I am very sorry for not responding to questions posted here over the week. I just got a job and now spend a chunk of my time at work.

I will answer as many questions as I can over the weekend and I implore others (madridfc, 2sex, Chibenze, etc) to visit here more often.

Thank you.

There is a lesson in this.

Domainers, especially newcomers, are too focused on certain metrics like search volume, and throwing figures around as if they were some sort of magic formula.
But they don't pay enough attention to the brandability of the domain. I have found that brandability is a very important factor in domain sales because end users buy domains for business ventures and domains that are rather unique are sought after. It also explains why many sales are unpredictable.

Domains don't sell just because because they have some metrics.
Even if they do, that doesn't mean they are brandable, fit for advertising or suitable for business cards. BeautifulFlowers is a domain that meets these criteria.

I never look at the metrics when I buy a domain. The domain must first look good to the eye (and the ear).

Please i need useful to this...

I registered this domain qasa.info sometime last year and its expiring now.

I registered it in mind of this electronics company QASA that make household electronics.

I noticed they are offshoot if Q-link company and still making use of Q-link website and are yet to even buy qasa.com.

Im thinking, based on all these whether i should still go ahead and renew the domain or let it off??

please i need valuable contributions to these..
If this is the only reason you want to renew the name, please don't renew it.

If they feel the need for a website, they'll naturally go for the .com first.

Please, what is the cost of listing your domain name on those auction sites for flipping?
Listing on Afternic, GoDaddy Premium, Sedo, and Bodis is free while Flippa charges $9 to list a domain and GoDaddy Auctions require a $5 annual membership fee.

NAPPIE:


please I want to ask few question (novice)

• is it possible to sell domain to someone without Godaddy account.

• please how can one go about it.

Yes, you can sell a domain to someone without a GoDaddy account. GoDaddy is only one out of the hundreds of domain registrars available. Anybody with an account with any other registrar can make a transfer request for your domain name registered at GoDaddy. After supplying the 'auth code' and accepting the transfer, GoDaddy will transfer the name to the other registrar.

SirChotas:

Please, which is more important for Google indexing: exact matches for keyword or current web traffic?



Would forexample.com be more highly ranked than eg.com because it contains the keywords 'for' and 'example' even though they both have the same services, and eg.com has more web traffic?
I am sorry but this question is above my pay grade. This is purely a SEO question, an area where I'm not well versed.

Nonetheless, from all of the Google updates and blogs that I've read, content is king when it comes to ranking and authority backlinks help greatly.

@ I watch. You are right on point. I am a disciple of that too. If you know Brand bucket, they do not accept just keyworded domains. You have to be able to put some imagery or brand behind it. If I were a buyer I would definitely pick skinnypocket.com over i4gx0.com cos apart from traffic I don't understand what can be done with the latter. I buy domain names that speak to me. They are names that paints a picture in your brain when u hear it. Even if they don't sell right now, no stress. I got a whole year to save for renewals. If I design one website here, it's 2000 usd. I will continue to get brandable names jor. And @ 2sex I am on my own. Although that tells me nothing @ OYO well I'm used to opinions like yours. Lol
@ oladayo congrats on the new job. Good to have you back. You are good at carrying people along and for that you are very much appreciated. Jah bless.

I see a lot of folks brainstorming and running off to register the first thing that comes to their mind just because it sound so "cool" to them. Worse still is to limit themselves as if Nigeria is their targeted market.

A few moments ago, I pickup Hook Up City dot com

What do you think about that or what does it tell you about herself smiley ? I am sure I do not need to explain what this domain stand for before you subconsciously know what it means. This the hallmark of a good miner as he is able to pick gold. A good domain explain itself without further introduction by the owner, but intricately woven with commercial appeal and usability.

Let's take a closer look at some hypothetical scenarios.

1. Jane the CEO of Hook Up City dot com, the foremost and leading dating site on the web.

2. Keith- You two look great together. Where did you meet?

Sharon-- Oh yeah, he is awesomeness personified in all ramification. We met at a dinner organized at Hook Up City dot com for single guys.

3. Here is my card. Send an email to Jane@Hook Up City dot com


From the above, you can clearly see the business side of this domain name, its brandability and marketability. By extension, we can head over to dnpric.es and see if there are past sales for the tern " HookUp"

See attached screenshot for reference(s)

However, this does not in anyway guarantee that my Hook Up City dot com will sell at the end of the day, but it's strong indication of a possibility which shouldn't come as a surprise eventually. And if the probability is zero, then we can assume that I wasn't lucky with no blame on my part because I know I have done my job which tend to potential success.

Basically, it comes down to research. I virtually research everything domain because doing so ensure a success probability of events of 1 in most cases.

I'm seeing some bad domains here! Please our new comers try and be up and doing,read&read until you know one or two things! Is not just coming here and see some few domain sales price& you immediately head to estibot and input one conjoin domain and it shows $240! You go ahead and register it. Bro/sir it doesn't work that way! Give value,buy what is saleable&and know what is trending. If you don't adhere to rules of this industry you will continue to enrich the registrars at the end of the day when they call you to renew your domain for $8-12 dollars your name will become usain bolt. GOD bless our nation!

@ActivityJ. Instead of just generalizing and saying you are seeing bad domains, point the domains out, share why you think they are bad, how to improve, if possible give an example of a domain of yours. That way we all will learn. All you just typed above has not practical advantage or lesson without examples, or explanations. Same with 2sex 2sexy etc. Pick out the domains and give good advice. No be fight, quarrel or competition.

SO, WHOSE FAULT IS IT?

I wrote a lengthy post after the Hook Up City---com explanation detailing the reason for my new attitude on here which has been lost and courageous effort to revive that same person as was the case in Jan 2013 when this thread was created has been futile. But after a second thought, I deleted it and replaced it with a smile emoticon.
