Not Sure What To Do With This Domain Suggestions Needed.

I’m not quite sure what to do with this domain
BuyPremiumMilkShakes.com

Three possible thoughts comes to mind but I can’t make a decision.

1. Create a website or blog designed to sell particular affiliate products in this case weight loss and protein milkshakes.

2. Sell the domain at a premium price for a very large profit possibly to someone else looking to pursue the first option.

3. Forward the domain to my money site aka my affiliate url for either the protein shakes or the weight loss shakes.

The problem with 3 is the fact that the site has already been added to my hosting account and alot of forwarded hosted domains don’t track correctly when it comes to affiliate urls, so often times you end up not being credited for sales that you generate. The registrar takes up to 72 hours to simply forward domains as well.

    I would choose the option #1 then when I have a good traffic I will sell it to flippa for a higher price or just put an add inside the blog noting that the site is for sale.

    Jon,

    If you search that phrase as a keyword the niche looks dead. Even the Adwords are those that are dynamically generated meaning nobody is actually bidding on that phrase.

    The search results start to wander almost immediately, so it's a good news - bad news situation. You could easily dominate the first page of the serps for a topic nobody is really searching for.

    Perhaps spending your opportunity resources on a niche with higher potential would be the way to go.

    Just food for thought...

    Hi Jon

    I think option 1 is the place to start. See if you can build up some traffic and test the market. Although I have to say off the top of my head I can't think of any time I've thought I must search for milk shakes online, but I'm not big fan of them.

    You may be able to sell it on but it isn't a name to me that immediately leaps off the screen saying 'buy me'. I've got a few like this that haven't really worked and just put it down to experience.

    I'm afraid that it being a 4-word domain with not many people searching for those keywords, you won't get much by selling the domain alone, so you might do better with Option 1 in the long run.

    Decided to see if I can make something out of it. Will focus on pushing the health and wellness products especially the protein and weight loss shakes, and the business opportunity.

    Still not really sure what I was thinking when I registered this particular domain, it was one of those compulsive/impulsive decisions I guess.

      I'm sure we've all got a few of those in our inventory :rolleyes:

      I was drunk. I still don't know what I was planning to do with it.

          And with "spiritofthewhey" I could sell protein powder.

        Are you drunk now? If not, maybe that's the problem

          Already tried that several times, but the always-welcome suggestion that I get drunk deserves a thanks. And who knows! Maybe this time, it will actually work.

          Now, let's see: tequila or rum?

              See, look, there have been three better domain names than the one I registered bandied about here.

              So on the "take action" front: how many of you have run a whois on ANY of them? Can anyone tell me which if any of them are available as a .com?

              Running off to check now doesn't count. How many of you already looked?
