HomeLoanCalculator.com.au sells for $33,001

Today we saw the auction and subsequent snapping of the domain HomeLoanCalculator.com.au at Netfleet.com.au for $33,001 after it was allowed to expire by the previous owner. According to Google the exact search phrase “home loan calculator” is searched for in Australia 33,100 times a month.  Meaning it sold for basically $1 for every monthly search, which looks like a fantastic deal when you consider that a click for this very competitive search term is worth about $5,65. It is worth remembering that with expired domains the buyer only had 24 hours to made a decision and to get involved so […]

Creditcards.net.au sets a new .net.au record

Today saw the release of the premium generic keyword domain Creditcards.net.au. In a furious public auction today this domain reached the .net.au record setting price of $22,002, surpassing the recently announced sale of the closely related Creditcard.net.au which was sold late last year for $18,200. This is now the highest publicly recorded sale of a .net.au for a domain name only. Showing that for premium generic keyword domains a .net.au is still a domain worth owning. Netfleet was pleased to snap this domain for our client. It will be interesting to see what they do with this domain name as […]

Today we saw the purge and subsequent snapping of InvestmentProperty.com.au. It was a very exciting auction with the price breaking our previous highest sale of Electricity.com.au for 30K with more than an hour left on the auction.

Top five tips on completing sales

I thought I’d take a moment to share a few tips given to me over the years by the most successful .com.au sellers I know. 1) Add a “for sale” banner to your website This is an obvious one, but is often overlooked as it requires some effort/planning. If your domain is less than 6 months old, put up a notice that you are intending to develop the site and a contact form for anyone wishing to be made aware once you go live. Put a reminder in your calendar to review your plans after 6 months and if your […]

New look URLs for standard listings

We have released our new look URLs yesterday so now you can navigate or link directly to your listings without bothering with internal numeric Identifiers. In short your link will be http://www.netfleet.com.au/glasspoolfencing.com.au instead of http://www.netfleet.com.au/index.php?a=d&id=57978 This makes it simpler to direct buyers to your listing when promoting your domain. We have also added the following simplified pages http://www.netfleet.com.au/drawings.com.au-similar-domains http://www.netfleet.com.au/garden-domains and http://www.netfleet.com.au/home-all-domains to make browsing parent and child categories easier. NOTE: All existing links will get a 301 “Moved Permanently” response, which will redirect users to the new URL until you update your inbound links.
