So this is my first official week writing about my exploits on the domain name market, and it's time to talk cold hard cash. Now from all the domain names that I have bought, so far I have not sold an actual name although all names are listed on Sedo.co.uk for sale. I expect my main income stream will be from google adsense, like the adverts you see displayed on this page. To very quickly explain how Adsense works, on each of my webpages that I have put on my newly purchased domain names I have put the google code on these. This means that google will put adverts on my page to match up with the content. Other website owners setup google adword accounts and pay google to display adds. For everyone that clicks on an add they pay google. In turn google displays the ads on my website and when someone clicks on them I take a cut of the money. I will talk about Adsense I am sure a lot in this blog as this will be where I make money from and the plan will be to make my sites popular so that I get the opportunity for more revenue. And of course I will talk about keywords and how some clicks can be worth more than others, as a taster have a quick look at this. Anyway enough of the boring stuff how has week one gone.
Well I have updated most of the pages on buythemap so that they are displaying the ads. I have also changed the structure of the site (behind the scenes) so that I can add more guides and articles. More content = more people finding my website and seeing my ads. Plans for next week are to keep an eye out for some more domains to purchase and get on the marketing trail - and also not to spend so much time playing Call of Duty 4 which is awesome. And of course I will update the blog........ok ok the money part.
Week 1 - Total Revenue recieved $2.92
Its not the most amount of money in the world but all rivers start with a trickle. At the moment the clicks I have recieved have been quite low yielding, however if you look at the page I linked to above if I could get clicks of higher value this will also help immensley so that may be another approach.
