There is but it’s seems very young so you have to work harder on the selling side, they don’t fly off the shelf but I’m confident of growing that side of my business.

Wow, first time I ever heard about domain leasing. Is there actually a market for this?

James’s last blog post..Should you have your keyword in the domain name?

[...] of leasing rather than selling their domains. Once you have read this, read this post about domain leasing agreements and then look at leaseadomain.co.uk/. This is all very early in the development of this market, and [...]

Scott, can you please post how you actively find clients for your domains and what you say in your e-mails to them?

Also, how do you value how much a domain is worth per month? You recently spoke about Fuel Cell Boilers, what if you owned a domain relating to that, once it was ranked in the SERPs how would you value it because it is a new technology?

Finally, with regards to SEO, don’t domain ranks automatically drop when you change the content of the site completely? So you have a landing page for “BedroomFurniture.com” that sites 1st in Google then its leased and the lessee has a crap site with no SEO…how do you ensure your domain doesn’t lose its position because the lessee isn’t actually doing anything wrong?

I look forward to reading your reply mate,

Khalid.

As long as they are signed up to a lease for a couple of years why would that be a problem Mally, ultimately I would only ever look to do it on a generic so only ranking it for it’s name which is much easier to do than take on an huge seo task, so as long as it wasn’t a one word extremely competitive generic term it should be pretty achievable to rank the domain for it’s name and low risk with high reward.

That’s a good point Nigel, in my lease it does mention the law to which the contract applies and I woudl be using mine B2B in the UK.

I would love to be able to lease some of my domain names. The problem is you could work hard to get a domain name to the top of the search engines and then the person renting could add a new site that is not seo friendly which will lower the value on the domain name.
