Domain Swapping

I recently completed my first domain swap deal, trading two solar domain names for compare flights, a ranking flight comparison website with a history of traffic and earnings.

I purchased the solar names for mid £xxx, thinking I could perhaps flip them for low four figures (which I had as an offer after the deal was done). Solar is an emerging market and the domains, SolarHeater.co.uk and the plural SolarHeaters.co.uk, were a nice pair.

I am happy with my new flight comparison site, and have already given it a makeover and adding more content as we speak!

I was pleasantly surprised and hope to either shelve the site as a revenue stream or flip it for mid four figures in the near future.

Good luck with your persuits,

Khalid.

p.s. a quick shout out for a critical illness comparison site owned by a friend of mine!
