I'd be interested to hear from members who have a website from which they promote and sell their own domain names. Has it produced increased traffic, offers or sales, and what has been the downside, if any? Thanks.
I have heard mixed results, there are a couple of people I know of who use their own sites to promote their .au domains and they have done well, but Im not aware of many other people doing this effectively. The biggest issue is a lack of end user eye balls, how do you drive end user traffic to your own site without running an Adwords or effective content strategy which can carry significant costs.I'd be interested to hear from members who have a website from which they promote and sell their own domain names.

Its a lot of work, but can be rewarding in the long run. Nice site. Followed your Twitter page.

Hey Scott, thanks for the feedback.IMHO - refine the message to the domain. Centralise a "theme" that reflects the domain name as a brand.
example; "discover a domain that fits your business" could be "Buy a dress for the big date" have price tages on coat hangers and doors over each domain so when your mouse hovers over it the doors open to reveal the domain name; you have a cool domain name that can be really expandable in terms of theme.

How could anybody miss it Scottie.me ... solid 7 figure name I'd saynot a bad portfolio of names, O Look at that, I see a killer domain listed. I'm sure others see it also.
Thanks Tim for the very helpful feedback you sent me. Cheersif you want me to critique it pm me, i think i have some ideas for you.
