Residual Income Opportunity Blog

Have a story for you today about my online income opportunities quest and a big mistake I made today. Yes I learned from the mistake but it definitely cost me some of my hard earned income. Of course I’m really upset about it but as I’ve preached to you before I can’t let problems that pop up slow me down on my road to web wealth and generating a solid passive income.

Now I’ve talked to you folks before that when wanting to get ranked in Google if you have a new domain name it can take a long time because of the “Sandbox”. I’ve spoken about it before but just to review the Google sandbox can go into effect on all new domains under 1 year old. What happens is even if your website is SEO optimized perfectly and you have some links pointing towards your site you may not get found for keyword searches until your site matures a bit and is permitted out of the infamous sandbox.

So as I’ve told you if you are in a rush to be found and start making online passive income with your website businesses and opportunities then you need to seek out pre-owned domains at the website FreshDrop.com. Now if you buy a closeout or expired domain from this site you are fine and your purchased domain name will keep its age.

But what I learned is that if you buy a pre-owned domain off any of the other websites like Afternic, Network Solutions, etc then your new URL’s creation date will get re-set. What this means is that even though it was old it is treated by Google as new and therefore you can still hit the dreaded sandbox.

Well guys today I blew it. I have a business related niche that I want work on related to making residual income and I paid $200 for it. It was great. Keywords in domain, short, nicely aged (6 years), and the list goes on. Today I went to check out the WHOIS info and I saw it says it was created in November 2008. My heart jumped a beat. I thought I had it all figured out and was about to rank well and therefore make some good online income off of this puppy. Well I was wrong and learned a valuable lesson about online business success.

After I saw this I called a friend of mine (an experience Internet marketer) and he told me “yeah if you buy an expired or closeout domain you are fine, but any other aged domain will get re-set”. I’m upset about my $200. Hopefully I can sell this domain since it’s a nice one but I won’t be able to use it for the online income opportunity that I was imagining unless I want to sit around for months waiting in the sandbox. Lessons learned folks. Wanted to share this with you so you don’t do the same thing.

When working on creating online wealth and residual income opportunities you need to be smart and invest in certain things that will actually make you some money back as well as save you some time on your quest for online passive income streams.

Today I wanted to give you a brief list of some of the things you should be considering investing in if you are starting to think about taking this money making game seriously. This list is not in any particular order of importance but it’s just a few of the things I’ve been using and I can say I do notice results.
