Domain Names Are A Good Investment

Domain trading remains one of the most lucrative business opportunities available to anyone working online and a new site is set to launch at GamblingInvest.com during the upcoming Budapest Affiliate Conference that will certainly please investors.

GamblingInvest.com is the brainchild of Pierluigi Buccioli, the founder of BookmakersReview.com, and is set to provide a marketplace for the buying and selling of gambling-related domain names.

Buccioli revealed that a domain name can be the difference between success and failure for any new start-up and, beyond that, URLs have come to be recognised as a reliable investment opportunity and a low-risk trade that can turn into a sizeable asset. This is largely due to the traffic generating potential a domain and the other sites directly linked to it can attract. Not only can a domain re-enforce a brand and make your name recognisable, it can also attract walk-in business and increase search engine optimisation ratings.

He stated that domain trading has fast gained international prominence as a viable income generating business. At face value, trading appears simple with buyers and sellers meeting in the online marketplace and competing for a specific name. However, competition is fierce due to the lucrative revenues at stake with some names getting snatched within seconds.

GamblingInvest.com will begin life on September 12 during the Budapest Affiliate Conference with a live auction. Owners of gambling domains can submit their sites for consideration for the auction catalogue by contacting Buccioli directly at Sales@GamblingInvest.com while interested buyers are being invited to participate in person. But, those that are unable to attend the live auction may place bids online, by telephone or by leaving absentee bids with the auctioneer.

All sales are to be handled through Moneybookers’ Escrow service to guarantee security for sellers and buyers while Buccioli stated that the auction’s catalogue would be published at the beginning of September.

“I’m confident of putting together at least 200 premium gambling domains for our first ever live auction event at Budapest Affiliate Conference”, said Buccioli.

“But I actually look at the Budapest Affiliate Conference as a trial run in anticipation of an even bigger live auction event at the London Affiliate Conference in January of 2010.”

“This is a fantastic new feature for our events and we are always looking at ways to maximise revenue potential for all our delegates,” said Alex Pratt, Organiser for iGB Affiliate Events.

“It simply makes sense to continue after receiving such a wide interest. Domain names will always be in demand irrespective of the state of the world economy and for that reason alone are of huge interest at the moment. We are giving a chance for people to bid both on premium never before sold URLs through to established domains that have already proven their worth. There is an opportunity here for everyone”.
