I own a few url’s which all rank top 10 for their own names, what would you suggest to use as a metric to understand how much I should be leasing the site out for?

The domain leasing plan sounds like a good one to me. All the while you’re building links and gathering reputation and authority, so when renewal time comes around you’re eityher going to get more rent, or sell / hire it out to the higest bidder. Sounds like a win-win to me!

I update the ‘name servers’ which points the domain to their hosting leaving me with full control. Don’t mind the questions mate, that’s why I post it here.

If you use the search box top right for ‘leasing’ there are a few posts on this subject, I should really of categorised them, may go back and do that. I get paid direct into a bank account monthly, easier for tax & keeping track of. Two have prepaid 12 months in advance. I usually go with monthly standing orders setup by the lessee straight into my bank. You could go with paypal subscription, my wife keeps an excel doc with all the details and checks all payments come through each month and emails them a receipt.

And another thing, I would like to know how do you carry out the transferring of the domain? Is it something like giving out the password to your Cpanel? Because you need to retain the ultimate ownership and therefore the ultimate control (in case your lessee stops making you payments you might want to remove his content)

I’m sorry if i sound stupid here but I’d be glad if you could help.

Thanks,
John

Hey Scott,

I dont know how I missed this post when it was posted initially but i guess its never too late.

Actually, I had a question. What terms of payment do you usually set for the lessee? Is it monthly/quarterly? Do you take bank checks from them or paypal? See I am from outside UK, and if I try to lease out one of my .co.uk domains to someone in UK, I will need payment terms pre-set. Just needed ideas how can i go about it.

Also have you had any problems with your lessees not making the payments?

Thanks,
John

No the rankings usually do not disappear, in fact you can rank in the top 10 with zero content so what the client does is not a major issue. Remember it’s ranking for it’s exact keyword match domain name which is not that difficult unless you have just bought carinsurance.co.uk
