Due Diligence Dashboard
Note that there are two Google Analytics tags installed by mistake which has caused the bounce rate to be very low, and the pageviews to be doubled. The buyer can use Ezoic analytics and/or Google Search Console to verify real traffic.
Growth Blueprint
Highlights
- Growing traffic month-over-month
- High quality backlinks from Cnet, SF Gate, Hunker, and more
- Dual revenue stream
- Excellent ratio of information vs commercial content
Setbacks
- Two Google Analytics tags are installed (by mistake) thus skewing the pageviews to be double, and bounce rate to be low. The real traffic can be verified using Ezoic analytis and Google Search Console.
- Phrase match domain; not branded
Easy Wins
- Add affiliate products to informational articles
- Perform internal linking
Takeaway
This is a 3-year old set in the home niche, specifically covering flooring. The domain has excellent backlinks from top authority sites. It has the foundation to be grown into a more authority site in the flooring subniche.
I like this site because:
- It’s in a sub-niche of the lucrative home vertifical,
- More informational articles than commercial buying guides; a good mix,
- the content is good quality.
The new owner can spend time optimizing existing content, adding internal links, adding more content, and performing CRO on top-traffic pages. It does not require a design revamp.

Aged Domain: Panrimo.com
Domain Summary
Type: Aged Domain
Niche: Travel, Education
Source: Odys Global (see listing here)
Age: 2007 (15 years old)
Listed Price: $3,760
AHREFS
Backlinks: NYTimes, Study Abroad, EDU sites, and many more niche relevant travel sites.
Site History
This domain was used since 2007 as a social network for students traveling abroad for studying or internships. Essentially, covering all study abroad programs.
Here is what the past site looked like:
Growth Blueprint
While the travel industry has taken a hit over the last two years, it’s not going anywhere anytime soon. This domain would make for an excellent travel site within the sub-niche of study abroad and internships abroad. The display ad revenues in this niche would be extremely lucrative.
This is what I would do:
- Recreate the top pages of this site including guides on studying abroad, interning abroad, and more as needed
- Add guides for each city/country where study and intern abroad opportunities exist
- Create a directory of different opportunities for students
- Create guides on how to prepare, apply, what you should bring, etc.
The opportunities in this niche are endless. Monetization can easily be done via display ads, and then digital products (e.g., an e-book or maybe a course).

🚀 17 Brandable Domains at Auction
My team and I sifted through the marketplaces and found 17 branded domains that are live at auction.
The first batch of brandables for 2022 brings two domain names with decent authority of 25+ the top being TrueMove.com with a DR of 31. The Wayback machine shows TrueMove as being a Thai mobile ecommerce site first registered in 2004 so it could be repurposed for use in the tech niche. GoDaddy estimates the value of the domain at $8,200.
Eyeball.com is the second authority domain at a DR of 26 with a huge GoDaddy valuation of $25,000 mainly because it is a single word .com domain. It started life in 1998 redirected to Sonic.net internet service provider before rebranding as Eyeball Networks in 2001 as a VOIP software and service provider. It looks like they have ceased operations as of 2021.
This week’s top brandable name is Yalla.com, also with a high GoDaddy valuation of $21,676. Bidding has already passed this and, at the time of writing, is $22,700+. Yalla, like Eyeball, was also an internet service provider.
