Selecting domains

  • Place your domains in 2 or 3 ‘buckets’. Low, Medium or high priority or simply low and high.
  • Set a max price (or max average price of all domains) you are willing to pay per domain or prioritize the catch accordingly for each bucket.
  • Select dropcatching services used or catch priority based on attractiveness of the domain. E.g., estimated traffic based upon metrics and estimated revenue based upon the CPC/RPM of other domains within this category.

Example of a priority ‘bucket’

High Priority Domains

  • Aged. 6 years or older.
  • Alexa / Similar Web Domains. Typically, the traffic will not die.
  • AND/OR
  • Domains with DA above 20 and TF above 20. CF ÷ TF should be 0.4 to 0.6. With a perfect domain being 0.5
  • Minimum of ‘50’ referring domains .com, 20 domains ccTLDs.
  • Backlinks should typically be no more 3-4x greater than number of domains.
  • ‘x’ dependent upon cost per domain.

Medium Priority Domains

  • Aged. 3-6 years or older.
  • Alexa / Similar Web Domains. Typically, the traffic will not die.
  • Domains with DA between 10 and 20 and TF above 10. CF ÷ TF should be 0.3-0.4 and 0.6 to 0.7
  • Minimum of 25 referring domains .com, 10 domains ccTLDs.
  • Backlinks should typically be no more 3-4x greater than number of domains.
    E.g. 10 referring domains. 40 backlinks at 4 backlinks per site.

Low Priority Domains

  • Aged. 0-3 years.
  • No minimum DA, TF and CF.
  • No consideration to the number of referring domains &/or quality of backlinks e.g you could ‘taste’ a domain with 10 referring domains and 5000 backlinks depending upon price point. E.g., reg fee or very low price per catch or bid.
