Domain Name Portfolio Management

Here is the script I am going to run the domain portfolio management side of the site; Domain Trader. Domain Trader is a PHP script which was developed to allow webmasters & domain professionals to manage their entire domain portfolio. It features a powerful domain parking module which operates similar to other popular domain parking websites such as Sedo, DomainSponsor etc.

Domain Trader - What is it?

Domain Trader is a domain parking script which is integrated with a powerful domain auction module to allow users to make offers on domains marked for sale. Domain Trader was designed to provide domain professionals with the opportunity to offer a complete domain portfolio management service to customers worldwide.

Unlike it's competition, this popular software comes complete with it's own state of the art domain parking module, which gives users the ability to park their domains and keep track of their PPC revenue profits. The domain parking module keeps full statistics for each parked domain, including views, clicks, CTR (click-thru rate), RPC (revenue per click) and total revenue earnt. Domains can be optimized by entering a specific keyword related to that particular domain, so that targeted adverts can be displayed on the parking page.
For more information about domain parking, see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_parking

Domain auction module

Domain Trader has a built in auction system, which allows potential buyers to make offers on domains that are for sale. Users are able to categorize their domains for sale and also supply "Minimum offer" and "Asking price" values for each domain. It also has a Page Rank and Link Popularity checker.
