Many Uses For Expired Domain Names
With the recent decline of the U.S. economy many changes have come about with regards
to business on the internet. One of these things is an upswing in the amount of expired
domain names that are available to be re-registered to a new owner, once they have been
determined to be expired.
There are many reasons why a person would establish a domain name and also create a
website, promote it and then have to let it go. Partnership disagreements, declining
business, business refocusing in another direction and the list goes on and on. With regards
to these expired domain names one mans trash is truly another mans treasure, because
what may have seemed like small potatoes to a well established and highly successful
internet entrepreneur might in fact turn out to be a small treasure to someone like yourself.
Many of these domain names have websites that have been heavily promoted and have
substantial traffic that you can redirect to other internet ventures that you currently have
going. For the affiliate marketer traffic means money, because most have an established
formula that dictates that a certain percentage of visitors are going to end up being buyers.
Therefore more visitors directly translates into more revenue. There are websites that cater
exclusively to the person who is interested in acquiring expired domain names. It is highly
recommended that you visit them to learn more about the topic before you run right out and
start buying up random expired domain names.
As a general rule, the majority of passive revenue generated by an acquired domain name
would come from advertising in the form of advertising clicks. For this reason you will want
to give close consideration to the domains ratings in the top search engines and also the
amount of links that it has.
Also, you may want to consider building a website that is based on the domain name and
while this can seem labor intensive, with practice and the proper information, it is well within
the grasp of even the novice entrepreneur on the net.
Of course if you have a website you are then going to have to host it but don't let that stop
you, because there are many cheap website hosting services on the net and in fact there
are even free hosting services but they do have some catches that you must make yourself
aware of.
Still another source of revenue that can be generated from a website is by the selling of
links to third party websites, but your website must be of a high enough caliber to do this.
The sooner you get started having your website designed and created, the sooner you can
begin to see results come to fruition.
The U.S. economy is expected to make a turn around just as it always has and for you to be

2. able to maximize on it when it happens you must have your website up and going and have
done some promotional work on it. Expired domain names are a great way to get a leg up
with regards to your internet venture.
Hiring a web designer to come up with the custom solution that you need can set you back
a few thousand bucks. But you can do the whole thing yourself and make it drag and drop

Marketing With The iPod
Whenever something new, exciting and revolutionary is introduced to the general public, it's
nearly a given that other corporations, companies and interests want to hitch their branding
wagon to that train. And with the Apple iPod Nano, it was, and still is no different. The Apple
iPod transformed the way the whole world thinks about where it takes it music. Soon after
its release, you could walk around any hip metropolitan street and see those instantly
recognizable white ear buds poking through the collars and jackets of many people, young
and old, male and female. So, it didn't take a marketing genius to figure out that all those
iPod listeners represent a huge target audience. Fortunately, or unfortunately depending on
your point of view, a marketing genius did realize that.
Many companies that, at first glance, would have very little to do with the Apple iPod, soon
lined up to be associated with the world's most popular portable digital music player. Before
you knew it, there were charities working together with Apple to create an iPod Nano with
that charity's logo and colors on it. It was a great way for a charity to appear current by
working together with the Apple iPod Nano line as well as reaching a younger, more
technologically savvy demographic that it otherwise would not have reached.
However, even though charities recognized the power of the iPod, it was the music industry
itself that has taken the greatest advantage of the reach and visibility of the iPod. Now, the
music industry generally frowns upon downloading music from a computer onto an iPod
without paying for it. But, some people in the music world realized that the iPod Nano is so
popular, that there are people who won't listen to music in any other format besides on their
iPod. So, if you aren't working with the iPod, you are working against certain segments of
your target audience.
Some bands decided to directly associate themselves with the iPod Nano; U2 being the
biggest and most recognizable band to do so. A special U2 version of the iPod was

3. released, and selected songs from an upcoming album were only available to be heard via
the iPod. Of course, innovative, expensive and exceptionally cool marketing and advertising
campaigns were released. Because of this foresight, two goals were achieved. One, of
course, was to work together with the Apple iPod Nano to get the music and songs released
and introduced to the public. The second goal was that U2 did not appear to be anti-
download and embraced the iPod and everything it can do.
In the early days of music downloading, there were many bands who scoffed at the idea of
having their music listened to for free. As a result, they appeared to be greedy, out of touch
and completely against the wishes of their fans. But, with the advent of the Apple iPod
Nano, it is now imperative that if the whole world is going to be listening to this little device,
then they might as well be listening to you.
