You are very well covered here, with some excellent advice and guidance. If you have any further questions, please let the community know!

Hi baughsten, here are some tips to get you started:

1. Determine the value of your domains: You can use domain appraisal tools like Estibot or GoDaddy to get an idea of how much your domain is worth.

2. Choose a marketplace: There are several online marketplaces where you can list your domains for sale such as Sedo, Flippa, and GoDaddy Auctions.

3. Set a price: Based on the appraisal, set a price for your domain. You can also consider negotiating the price with potential buyers.

4. Promote your domains: Share your domain listings on social media, email, and other online forums to increase visibility.

5. Be patient: Selling domains can take time, so be prepared to wait for the right buyer to come along.

I hope these tips help you with selling your domains.

Thank you. Good advice..

I tried this a while back, Dan! Jeff

You may list your domains using marketplaces like GoDaddy, Sedo, or Flippa. I would follow up on each site's terms and conditions, what you need to look for, and how to make sales. Also, I would use escrow services to avoid getting scammed. They typically charge a fee.

If you have a built site, it is worth getting an estimate and working out your stats so that your buyer | and the bidder can work out their ROI. And to prove authenticity and transparency.

Or you may employ brokers to sell your domains; they also charge a fee.

Good luck with whatever you do.

I am looking to sell a few of my domains on Sedo. They ask for a registrar name, but I don't recognize one for WA other than other. What is the WA registrar name? Thanks, folks

WA uses eNom Central as its domain name registrar.

eNom

sounds like eNom is the answer....

I would agree, Dan!

Thanks, fo

WA is not a domain name registrar. They are an affiliate for eNom Central.

If from WA, it is Enom, LLC.

Wonderful. Thanks for the help.

You're welcome :)

Sorry I’m late to the game here, but it certainly looks like you have great suggestions below — I hope you are (were) able to get this issue handled!

Always pleased at the helps from the masters on this website. Thank you for following up.....

Unless you have more than a few thousand URLs on a site crawl budget shouldn't be a problem. If you submit new posts to the search engines they will crawl them when the bots get around to it.

Richard

Thanks for clarifying. Much of this .txt,etc. is above my pay grade😉

I was looking at the same thing today as I am having issues with posts not getting indexed, whether the crawl budget is responsible for this I don't know because how can you tell?

As you say, there are a number of factors that Google takes into consideration such as age, authority, how often you are adding content plus I'm sure a lot of other stuff too.

Mick

I see many no index when I review search console. Not sure what to make of it.

Thanks for following me.
Jim

I love Chris's response here.

A crawl budget ensures search engines crawl and index your website's pages. Managing your crawl budget using tools such as robots.txt and Google Search Console can help improve your website's search engine rankings and visibility.

for a brand new site, i wouldn't worry too much about it.

The idea is that you need to give google a reason to crawl your site often, and that is adjusted by you consistently adding content.

Great comment, Chris! Thanks.

I'm getting solicitations from this source as a means of brining in lots of traffic. Is it legit?

I would avoid them. I thought at first glance they were likely using bots or one of those ad exchange deals. Possible they are still using bots, but according to reviews they are said to be using something called referrer spam to get the traffic.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Referrer_spam

Several bad reviews of them on TrustPilot mention they are using redirects to send the traffic.

If it sounds to good to be true, likely is.

Smart of you to ask here first. So many get excited at the thought of a cheap traffic source they allow that to override that sense something might be askew.

Regards,

Jason

Thanks for doing the needful, Jason. When you see only 5-star and 1-star reviews on Trustpilot, with the 1-stars more numerous, you must advise yourself "wink"

Hah hah,

yes.

Just do your due diligence, Dan! I have not heard of this either!

Jeff

Check it out thoroughly, Dan.

Also, look on Trustpilot.

Frank 🎸

Sorry, I have not heard of this

-Mike

I have not heard of it before, I would run with a review and do due diligence and read up on the small print.

Yes that is a gret idea. Thanks

Yeah, if it sounds too good to be true, walk away! You also want to make sure these solicitations are targeted to your niche audience.
