Get rid of .xxx domains fast

15 replies
Was stupid enough to buy a few .xxx domains this time last year...
Until today, they're still sitting there waiting to be sold

They're expiring soon, how can I get rid of them fast???
because I don't simply want to let them expire, and waste that much money when I bought them -_-

Any ideas would be appreciated!

    Don't renew them?

    Your problem will take care of itself... :p

    Otherwise, list a classified ad in an adult webmasters forum...

    Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

      I would suggest - setting up a quick website using adult CPA offers - simple single page here (directory like but make it more like a pictorial display (tumblr, pinterest like)

      Search forums for adult question threads - post away with link to your domain / website sales offer.

      Also - try flipping the package of sites. There's always someone interested in this type of niche and you made it very easy for them to get into it.

      watchfreeporn.xxx sold for $1400 domain only a month ago
      escorttrader.xxx website with only 100 uniques monthly sold for $1,000 Dec 2011.
      Granted after a brief search, I could only find these two sold. There are about 12 open listings at the time of this post and only 2 have a bid or so. Looks bleak. Go see what in their offers made their sites / domains sell.

      But I always say, it all depends on how you market them - but sometimes you need to know when to fold and walk.

    Try selling them first before letting them expire. I would try the GFY forum, as it's specially dedicated to adult webmasters. The other regular website marketplaces I doubt they allow adult domain names.

      Well, you've traveled this far into the realm of porn, might as well keep going. professorrosado has an idea. Perhaps consider actually setting up the pages and then try to sell them?

    Ellie,

    Salesguru is right. Learn the lesson and move on, there is not much that can be done to recoup the costs.

    Ask one who knows. I "invested" a couple thousand dollars into domain names for a project that never took off in time. That year goes by quicker than you think it will!!

    Chalk it up as a loss, learn lesson, move on...It was hard for me to do, but I did.

    You could also try to sell the names quickly on Ebay or other sites, but to be honest, if they aren't driving much traffic to a page, and they're about to expire, good luck..Spoken from one who's "been there, done that"!

    You will save more money if you let them expire, will take up less of your time. We have all taken loses by buying domains we thought were a good idea at the time. Fortunately for me, I already know no matter what extension they come out with, it will not be as good as a .com/net/org.

    New extensions = Worthless IMO
