Domaining is truly risky business. One never knows if the domain they reg today is going to be worth double tomorrow, or half the next day. Even with researching keywords, looking at trends, there is never one %100 sure-fire way to ensure your domain is going to be profitable by just having a domain. As the admin wrote below in: Quick Profitable Domain Flipping Strategy , a nice content website really helps the end-value and is easy to create. I would like to expand on this comment with a term we have probably all heard before Made For Adsense Websites, or MFAs.

MFA’s are loved by some and probably hated by a lot more. They feature some great keyword content, google ads everywhere, and usually are not updated often. These MFAs make their money off of organic traffic from people like Google and then readers who click on the ads. You are probably wondering what this has to do with Risky Business. Right? Well, this type of website is hard to make and takes many tries. I have sunk a lot of time into building MFAs with great key-word enriched articles, sometimes I even pay for them, themes, banners and a lot more, to find out the website makes $0.

Even with content on a domain, whether the domain be good or bad, doesn’t always work out. However, in that case, you flip it like the admin said in the article I mentioned. I will talk more in depth about MFA’s later articles, but I just wanted to show you domainers the risk in developing and the nice bouncy pad. Either it makes money off adsense, or you sell it with content. Simple.

Domaining is a hard but simple business to get into. Buy a domain for $10, sell it for $15. A basic principal. Buying the right domains and selling it to the right people. A harder principal. Nowadays it is almost impossible to make a sale of immense profit with only a domain and nothing else. Unless of course you invest big money. So for the rest of us without a lot of cash to go around, we develop and sell. Even that is risky. If only everything was as simple as the movie…
