Carrie Prejean Tape


You guys honestly thing that the highly reputable journalism source TMZ got a hold of a Carrie Prejean Sex Tape and wouldn't publish it?

This is really an experiment to test how you can get traffic from a top google trend search.

my site http://carrieprejeantape.nt5.us was created on this purpose.
the exact keywords are carrie prejean tape

A security issue: Traffic Blueprint database hacked

I was looking for a review of this product when I came to a forum where someone had posted this site's members database.
This may be a lucky day for me: the opportunity to contact 2,500 website owners interested in internet marketing, traffic and SEO.
I don't think that sending this msg to them could be considered spam.

*****: a security issue (your account has been compromised)

Hi *****,

Sorry for my English, but I bet you won't care about it after reading this msg.

Googling for information about how to get traffic to my websites I came to trafficblueprint.info
Before buying, as I usually do, I started searching for a decent (not a reseller's) review.
What I found in a forum was a full list of this website's members posted by a hacker!

At first I thought that it was not my business, but what would I expect you to do if you had found my personal record in a similar case?
I would certainly be grateful if you warned me. So that's why I'm contacting you.

Your username is ***** and your password is *****.

I respect your privacy and I have not logged in using your data.
But I did test 3 of the records just to find if that list was valid or not.
The bad news is that all were functional.

If you receive this message twice is because I found 2 different addresses in your record.
I hope you find this warning useful.
Regards and good luck!

Ricardo del Rosal

PS: I was thinking that, as you bought traffic blueprint, we share common interests.
I'm currently developing a marketing network. I'm in the early stages of this project.
I’m looking for people interested in domain business that may help me to develop the Domain Share Trading project.
I don't ask for register fees, contributions or any kind of payment. There’s no catch.
I invite you to visit my blog http://nt5.us/domainshare. Thank you!

But I don't have an automated mailing system and sending 2500 mails manually is not my best choice for a weekend. I think that the best thing to do is to contact the website owner.

Great News: A Google Top Result!

"Domain Share Trading" exact keywords are not frequently used in google search, but although there's no available data using keyword tools for that keyword, if you google it you'll find ads (means someone must be searching or there wouldn't be advertisers).
visit Domain Share Trading website
Google Domain Share Trading
This is a very good starting point. If many people start searching for this concept in a few months this top position will be really valuable. There's a website I use to test my websites value evolution: yourwebsitevalue.com. As you may see my website has been appraised $6! (2009-09-20)

Domain Share Trading

This is my new project. http://domainsharetrading.com
I have listed some of the new websites I'm promoting and I'm contacting people to enter manually, using twitter account domainshares
Unbelievable response.

This is the first article I submitted:

How much is a domain really worth?

A domain name is worth exactly as much as a buyer is willing to pay for it. Although self-called experts state that "An expert evaluation of a domain name's value is critical intelligence for domain buyers and sellers looking to determine a fair market price" domain appraisal is not an exact science. A domain reseller might be successful but only if he learns to spot the rare opportunities where he can buy for a low price and sell in a short time making a difference. It's a risky business indeed and it's not for everyone.

Take these Numbers and Facts from SEDO (February 2008):
  • Domain transaction volume per month: > $6 million
  • Number of members: 690,000
  • Number of domains in our database: 11,500,000
  • Number of parked domains: 3,200,000
  • Number of domains sold per month: > 1,900
They are telling you that in a year they sell roughly 2,000*12=24,000 domains from a total of 11,500,000. That's only a 0,2%.

So what happens to the remaining 99.8%? They must be renewed or they are dropped. Nobody adds a domain to SEDO's database without expecting to sell it before having to pay renewal fees, but only 2 out of 1000 succeed. Their declared monthly transaction volume is >6M, that means an average of 6,000,000/1,900=3,157$/domain. Really attractive end price, but only for the lucky 0,2% sellers...

Those who can't sell will lose an average of 110M/year in renewal fees. Needles to say that someone struggling to sell may pay for their "expert appraisals" and their "featured places" and spend an extra 50-100$ in his valuable domain.

This is a highly speculative market. There are few winners and many, many losers. An average Joe will certainly belong to the 99,8% losers group. He has better chances to win at the casino compared to investing in this marketplace.

Domain Parking

If you park a domain you get a page full of ads. They pay you for surfers clicking these ads and you may get some money. But they surely get much more than you. SEDO pays 0,03-0,05$/click. A domain, on average, gets less than 3 clicks a month because traffic is restricted to potential buyers (random natural traffic is meaningless). So you might expect to cover 1-2$ of the 10$ renewal fee. But there are better parking offers. Godaddy pays 60-80% of the real PPC (Pay Per Click) revenue. If you want higher percentages you must pay them a monthly fee. You end up loosing more than without parking. A website owner with a Google Adsense for Domains parking may get better results, but only if the domain name features high average PPC Exact Keywords and there is enough traffic (and Google decides that he is playing by their ever changing rules and pays him).

A New Concept

Domain Share Trading is a new concept for domain investors. A domain is subdivided into 100 shares. Investors buy one or more shares from one or more domains. They earn a monthly revenue proportional to the actual advertising revenues generated by the shares of the domains they invest into. They can sell their shares for a lower price at any moment. But in case a buyer offers more than the last payed price they have to sell or update their investment to the new best price. An investor may decide to buy a domain name and have it transferred. In this case he must pay a total price equal to the sum of each share's actual price multiplied by a minimum transaction profit factor.

I find domain trading a real challenge. I know people that made millions with domains but I'm not one of them (yet). Personally I need to work on solid grounds and "luck" is not a factor to consider in my business plans. As far as I know this domain sharing concept is original and may lead to new cooperative ways of minimizing risks and costs for domain investors.
You can see some examples of how a high PPC Exact Keyword Domain Adsense parking page looks like here:

Domain Names Are A Pain In The Ass!






I have made ZERO sells this week on eBay, and I owe them $275 in listing fees. Butt this has been a challenging situation and I have come up with great ideas. The first one:

http://hemorrhoids.com.ar

I've created a complete WP website, with Clickbank Affiliate landing pages, Amazon Store and Google Custom Search. I'm optimizing for search engines and many keywords (including misspelled keywords).

The second one: cooming soon...

Update: Good news!!! I started my Google Adwords Campaign for this site. Nothing to report about clicks yet, but fooling around I googled "hemorrhoids are a pain in the ass" and...


Guess who's on 25th position?


In google.com.ar the same search string results in 18th position!

My new site!

Amazing Domain Deals has a new website. I installed Wordpress in less than 30 minutes. I find WP really useful for new websites, but I've been too busy to start learning about it until today.
The site is under construction. The url: http://amazingdomaindeals.com
