Ask Shawn Collins: Domains for Affiliate Programs

January 27, 2005 by Shawn Collins

Q: I have many domains, but don’t have time to develop them. I would like to sell them, but if not, then run some profitable affiliate content. Please have a look at my domains and suggest what I should do.

Shawn CollinsA: If you don’t have time to develop the domains, you’re not going to make money simply by pointing the domains to affiliate links.

In order to generate affiliate income from your domains, it’s essential that you give people a reason to go to them, and then marketing the domains to let those people know you are out there.

After that is done, you will be able to make money by serving up targeted ads to the audience you’ve brought to your domains.

But if you’re hoping that people will magically type your domain names into their browsers, arrive at your site, and click on affiliate links, you’re in for a disappointment.

If you just don’t have time to make real sites out of the domains, I’d suggest selling them, rather than squatting on them.
