I guess the when the other benifit to you is that while they are leasing the domain that domaain is aging and hopefully gaining links.

Do you place any restrictions on what methods the leasee can use to market the domain? The last thing you’d want would be for them to have the domain banned from Google for buying links etc.

[...] This year needs to be the year I take this side of my business up a notch, the basic strategy which I have detailed on the blog is sound and I’ve tested it out enough times to feel happy with the principle. I decided in January my goal for this year will be to get up close to around £2000 per month from leasing which will be a pretty decent sideline, you have to remember that if I get it up to £24k annual income by the end of this year then not only is it a business earning pretty much £24k net passively, it also has assets that amount to far more than that, the lease itself increases the value of the domain hugely.

I wouldn’t lease any domains (and any cars, houses) for it is simply too risky and unsafe….as about domains…just imagine…well performed SE campaign brought your domain name in top 10 for hmm… “teh beatles”… and next month your domain owners would edcide to cancel your contract….

The ranking is not my responsibility, it’s added value and should remain if the lessee are careful but it’s not guaranteed, I offer a domain/site for lease that has had on average x amount of visitors per month due to it’s ranking, all the lease is for is the domain. There is little risk as long as any site they put on is on the same subject and continues in the same vein without doing anything naughty just like buying a site.

Scott,

Could you explain a bit more about leasing out a “ranked” domain. I am guessing that once leased then the ranking ceases to be your responsibility or is part of your monthly fee paid so that you guarantee a certain ranking ie on the first page of google?

Also if its not your responsibility once it is leased does this create a large risk for the people taking on the lease?

Cheers
