EstiBot

This section is mostly about expired domains, yes, but today we’re going to be talking about EstiBot and there’s so much more to this site than hunting for forgotten addresses. This right here is a multifunctioning tool to help you make the most of web real-estate. Your domain is more than just the unique identity of your site. It’s your brand; it’s your name, it is the place where people will expect to find you. And sure, you can just roll with something descriptive like “The Guy with the Smut”. Obviously, that’s the route I took when I first got into this business. But, the underlined logic here is that you name yourself after something that people will be trying to find. A huge chunk of your SEO actually happens right here, with the domain purchase.

Now, you can use EstiBot to find new domains that were never registered before, or get your hands on abandoned domains. Hell, you can even try to make offers on domains that people straight up aren’t selling right now. Fuck it; the world is your oyster. It won’t hurt to at least ask. The bottom line is you want to get your hands on as many domains as you can possibly use. Try to keep in mind that you don’t need one domain per website. You need as many domains as you can attach to every website you have. You’re free to reuse these bad boys. Hell, you can register the exact same domain name under different extensions, in case you really don’t want people copying you or trying to take away your traffic. There’s so much competition when it comes to domain hunting and EstiBot is the impartial middle man here to make the spy and sort work that much easier.

Finding the Right Domain

This is going to be difficult. I’ll level with you. Most porn webmasters go for domains that are either identical to or synonymous with the business they’re running. This is the keyword approach. These guys run into the problem of seeing most domains that they can think of already being owned by someone else. If you’re running a porn tube, most tube related domains are going to be reserved. You’ll have to get super-creative. I mean, think of a porn tube you’re already familiar with, then really focus on their name. It’s descriptive and probably has either porn or tube in the name. Hell, it might even have both. This route is definitely viable for you, if you’re patient and you check all kinds of combinations and permutations to find something that really hits the nail on the head.

EstiBot can actually help you brainstorm ideas regarding a certain niche, using keywords, but keep in mind that everyone can use it. That means that it’s your responsibility to actually snag a particular domain when the time comes. You can’t just expect EstiBot to do all the work for you. They’re not an active team standing by to do your job for you. This is just a web-hosted tool that’s up there for anyone to make use of. That’s about it.

Buying and Selling

Domain flipping is a lot like stock trading. You buy something when it isn’t in demand and flip it for a premium when it becomes valuable. Granted, most of the great domains have kind of been taken for the past 20 years. However, there’s always potential out there. You just have to keep a sharp eye on the market and stay up to date with current events in digital spaces. Beyond that, you have to consider the value of all the domains under new top-level domains. You know the dot coms and dot orgs of the world. There are all kinds of new ones these days that are growing popular, especially in porn spaces. You could purchase ones that are kind of on the fringe and wait until they’re worth selling.

Then, there are the domains that are already owned by other people, but get forgotten. There are so many webmasters out there who are holding high-quality domains, but not putting them to good use. Sometimes, rarely, these domains expire and you can swoop in and cap them if you’re fast enough. Granted, you’re not going to get the triple-A rated domain names, because there are millions of people trying to score them every single hour of every day. But, you might get something that’s right down the middle. – Worth buying, worth keeping, worth selling later.

Domains on your Radar

So, how do you actually buy and sell at the right time? Well, you need to keep a long list of domains on your radar at all times. You can’t do this manually. I mean, you can try, but you’d have to be awake and on your computer every second of every day. Alternatively, you can use EstiBot and set up a long list of domains that you want to purchase and even monitor their offered prices if you’re willing to buy them out from their current owners. That’s what this tool is all about.

If you’re a regular webmaster who offers content, then you don’t really care much about this part of Estibot’s power. But, if you want to make some extra money by flipping domains, this part’s essential. You want to keep tabs on the competition and on the value of specific domains, automatically. You can also cross-reference this data with information from online forums, both porn centered ones and generic webmaster forums. At the very least, you can see what kind of domains people are buying and what their niche is. You can also check out Google’s information on top domains on specific themes.

Planning Ahead

You can technically use Estibot to get your hands on your first domain for your first business, but that’s not exactly what it’s there for. It’s more of an advanced tool that’s supposed to help you pave the road ahead for future projects, especially when you have multiple projects going on. It’s an information terminal, basically. The added tools are there to streamline the process.

Your mileage will vary depending on the type of content you’re peddling, but as a webmaster, you have every reason to get insights into specific domains and their value. Estibot actually has built-in tools that help you find particular domain ideas without you having to do the research manually. There’s literally no better way to create a battle plan for the future. You could even build entire websites from scratch just to fit profitable domains, in case you don’t want to flip them in the future.

Finally, you could play these domains in the same way a real-estate developer might. It’s a bit dishonest, but who cares? It’s a great business. Basically, you get your hands on a mediocre domain and develop it into a popular website. After the traffic’s gone up considerably, you flip the whole thing, along with the design and backlinks. You sell off a chunk of your empire for a flat fee. This is a great method for people who straight up have too many successful projects already in motion.

Amazing Design

Estibot is built kind of like an analytical tool, in terms of design. You get a lot of value graphs with pricing and historical breakdowns. It quite literally looks like a stock trading tool. You can stay on top of past pricing of specific domains and try to estimate where their prices will be headed next. Always make sure to combine the mathematical data with real-world organic information, though. You don’t want to just assume that a certain domain is going to keep plummeting in value forever, just because it’s been getting cheaper over time. Sometimes these domains get bought out and pumped in value, so you can very much miss your shot.

Again, much like stock investments, domain flipping is very similar to gambling. You don’t get any guarantees of profit when you buy a specific domain. But, you can make educated guesses. Estibot can’t predict the future and neither can you, but at the very least, you get a professional platform with all the bells and whistles you’ll need to make educated guesses.

You can also check your own domains’ values even if you’re not looking to sell. It’s good to know your own worth. I should mention that all the main functionality of Estibot is available for $29 a month, but the expired domains list only becomes accessible if you go for the $49 a month deal. There’s also a $99 a month offer if you want API access for some crazy external integrations and full automation. You might need a professional developer to make use of it though, depending on your skills. Estibot charges monthly and you can cancel any time, so feel free to at least try out the cheapest tier. You won’t be disappointed.
