100 Domain Names?

[hairconspiracy]

Hello!

Tim mentions in his book that he has over 100 registered domain names, does anyone know how this contributes to increasing revenue of ones muse? Thank you!

I'm sure very few are directly for muses. He probably buys them for resale. I have a 100 too and no active muse.

Another thought is misspellings etc. of his domain, competitors' or even related names, so if people type those they are redirected to his?

I thought I read somewhere that to pick the title for his book he bought domains for all the contenders and then checked to see which got the most traffic.

You can use different domain names for PPC ads, then just have them redirect to your main domain. The domain name can be a part of the ad too. If the domain name is similar to the search i would imagine you would get better click thru ratios.

And examle would be

TOP REALTOR IN NC
Work with the best Realtors in NC
www.bestrealtorinNC.com

and the site actually redirects to an agents page on their companies main site.

Don't have a lot of time for a longer answer at the moment...

Some descriptive/generic domain names get type-in traffic - believe it or not, but some people actually search using domain names, i.e. videocameras.com etc. "Parking" those domains with ads can bring you an nice income.

For example Tim owns, MiniRetirment.com and redirects it to this site.

Also you can buy expiring domains (mostly at auctions) that had sites of them and possibly benefit from the existing traffic.

If you'd like to know more about this, contact me, ask here (will try to make sure to check), or read our blog DomainNameNews.com (http://DomainNameNews.com/).
