Web Domaining as a Source of Income

I have been promoting The DoFollow Directory project and came across a site that follows, Dot Sauce. The owner was discussing flipping web domains for money. I have always been curious about this- but not curious enough to pursue. The concept always seemed slightly low end to me, and I feel a bit guilty for being so snobbish.

SEO an search engine marketing are a clique-y bunch- some would even say elitist. It would drive me nuts when i was link building that the same SEO guys publicly would eschew reciprocal links or brand 3-way links as demonic and privately email or PM me to trade links. I got the same vibe when paid links became an issue. They would be screaming about how awful they were in forums and then have all kinds of ads from Text Link Brokers ,Text Link Ads, etc. But I digress….

I have sometimes turned my nose up at legitimate types of business and feel badly about it. One of the mission of this blog is too help women and parents who are at home to earn extra income while staying at home to take care of their families.

The concept of flipping web domains may be viable for people who really don’t want to write a blog and are more interested in “wheeling and dealing” and the buzz that comes from it. The site was very well written and I was surprised by how much information the author shared with his readers.

Missed Opportunity: Why Are Your Blog Posts Being Made by “admin” ?

Use Anchor Text/Keywords in Your Post Signature

How many times do you see this “Posted on Blah Blah Blah by admin”
Yikes! When trying to brand yourself with a blog- NEVER use the nickname admin!

If you have no clue what I am taking about- look above or below your posts and you will see something like “posted by admin ” . Wordpress by default used the nickname you give yourself in user/profile and most people don’t; bother to change so they are simply called admin. Change that nickname NOW!

Always. Be. Branding.


At the very least use a name.
Good would be your name ie. “Lisa” or “Lisa Stewart”
Better- Lisa Stewart- Make Money Blogging
Best is” Lisa Stewart Get Better Rankings by Blogging
I have my nickname in user profile set as “Lisa Stewart” then insert anchor text in the main index template of my word press them. Look for
code that says “posted by” and then pop your anchor text into the file and update. When you are done double check. I had mine going to a baklava recipe site for a couple weeks….

Vary Your Keywords


Change up your keywords a bit from what you currently have in header and/or footer.
Feel free to experiment and see what works or not. If you are this close to getting to page one on search engine results for a key term this just might put you over the top.

Any trouble with this-p ost in comments section. I will try and use my blogging super powers to help.

Updated Sociable WordPress Plugin From Joost DeValk - Some Great New Additions

Joost De Valk has tweaked the popular Sociable plugin for wordpress. This is the simple but powerful plugin that lets readers easily use a huge range of social bookmarking sites. Those little icons sit at the bottom of your post and with one click reader can submit to site of their choice- including Digg, Stumbleupon, Sphere and with Joost’s tweaks to Twitter, Sphinn, Google Bookmarks, Live and my favourite , Facebook.

The links are also nofollow. He also fixed the issue with t- which I have had on all my sites.
