Buying domain names can be a very profitable business, but if you want to increase your profits and take it a step further you can develop your domain names into fully functional websites and drive even more traffic and make even more money. Domaining is a very fun business, you think get an idea and then you go ahead and register that domain, you park it and then you wait for the money to start coming in, but unless you own mortage.com you will not get a lot of traffic right away, now if you develop a domain name with a basic website that is search engine optimized your chances of making more money can increase drastically.

The benefit of domaining is that its relatively easy, you register a domain name at your favorite .com domain registration company and park it, but most of the time your traffic does not grow and you have to buy hundreds of domain names to make some money, you can buy a domain name and try to resell it but some people will not give you a lot of money.

Now with a website you can register almost any domain name and if you provide quality content, a good tool or a way to entertain people or provide a good product then you can turn that $9 dollar domain into hundreds of dollars a month.

This mini guide will teach you how to register and develop any domain name into a profitable website.

• To start register a domain name I use Godaddy.
• Get a hosting reseller account for less than $10 dollars a month (usually unlimited domains or no less than 100 domains).
• Create a basic template (square with header, footer, content area and navigation) using a basic wysiwyg html program, (Frontpage, Dreamweaver) etc.
• Add 5-10 pages of content, get an Adsense and CJ account.
• Add your adsense code, replace affiliate links etc.
• Do a bit of promotion, go to forums, mention your site (DO NOT SPAM PLEASE) etc.
• Move on to your next domain.

If you have a high quality site with good information traffic will grow month after month, if you wrote unique content the search engines will start sending you traffic and your profits will increase. In my opinion this is ten times better than parking a domain and doing nothing with it.
