If you have some domains already that you want to sell or think have value, your first job is to find that value. There are websites such as Sedo.com that will evaluate your website for you and you can list your domain for sale on Sedo as well. Sedo are not the only evaluators on the web, you can find appraisals on many forums related to the topic as well as other websites.

Things that effect the value of a name include:

• How old it is?
• The extension that it has, such as .com, or .net
• The PageRank of the domain
• The length of the domain
• Does it contain a keyword(s)
• Links to that domain
• Number of type-ins
• Whether it has characters, numbers, letters and the different combinations
• Is there initial interest in the name from potential buyers contacting you?
• Spelling of the name is important or is it a typo to catch traffic.
• Is it hyphenated?

Once you have a rough idea of what you domain is worth you can set a price that you want to sell for. List the domain anywhere you can such as forums or domain name sale websites.

You can create a HTML page to advertise your name which ensures people know its for sale. Almost all domain registrars offer free HTML pages without paying web hosting fees.

Increase the visibility of the name by giving your web URLs to leading search engines so that you get increased traffic to your domains. More visitors = more chance of a sale.

Update the WHOIS information to make others sure that your domain name is for sale. If you get no offers, or interest you may wish to contact an expert about the name for a thoroughevaluation. Also check that all your details on WHOIS etc are up to date so you receive any attempts to contact you.

It is polite to reply to every interested reader even if the price is not what you expected. They may increase there offer or you may wish to lower your asking price for a quick sale.

Good Luck with your sales.
