Overview
Auto Insurance Companies is a popular subcategory within the
Insurance category. Price research and purchase of Auto
Insurance is fast becoming internet based (web-centric). Most, if
not all, of the primary auto insurance providers are
extremely active online as are many of the larger insurance brokers. The domain AutoInsuranceCompanies.com is
the obvious choice for a price comparison shopping entity which,
based upon feedback from interested parties, is the primary intended
use. Similar models would include Insure.com
& esurance.com®.
Significant online activity in
Auto
Insurance is driving demand for the domain bundle. Over the past decade there have been
numerous offers, but 2009 has seen a flurry of bids as insurance
agents/brokers and
professional ebusiness developers
desiring to enter the category require
highly targeted, brandable &
memorable domains. This also includes entities with an existing online presence seeking
to protect/grow their brand, visibility and market share.

Domain
Status
The domain
AutoInsuranceCompanies.com
is currently outsourced to
Sendori.com
for use by their auto
insurance clients
Geico,
Progressive and
similar.
Sendori is an online marketing agency that drives “Direct Navigation
Traffic” (AKA "Type-In Traffic") to their client’s websites using
high quality, category specific domain names.
Type-In Traffic
is the action in which consumers bypass search engines entirely and
enter the search phrase, without spacing, directly into their web
browser-
autoinsurancecompanies, and then add
.com.
On average, 16 policies per month
have been generated YTD
for Sendori clients.
The average policy written is worth approximately $800 annually.
Obviously, these numbers are exclusive of residual income (policy
renewals) as well as the purchase of ancillary insurance products
(home & life insurance if applicable).
It is
important to note that the domain is "forwarded" to Sendori client
websites. And that visitor traffic and revenue is generated via
Type-In-Traffic only. If the domain was used in conjunction with a
competently developed site and SEO, traffic would be significantly
higher.

ABOUT
The
Broker
This auction is the marketing effort of a private domain broker
specializing in the sale of high quality, generic domain names to
end-users. While new to eBay, I have completed 1000's of domain transactions
since 1998.
In
addition to brokering domains, I have 11 years experience using
like quality domains in multiple ebusiness endeavors. Given
widespread firsthand experience, I cannot overemphasize the
importance of obtaining the most relevant generic domain name(s)
related to your enterprise in conjunction with any online effort. Why? Because by staggering margins,
the majority of online searches are
generic phrase driven, not company and/or brand phrase driven.
Contact
Contact requests will be met with a prompt response. Use the
"Ask a question" link found under the "Seller info" heading located
on the upper right side of this page. Inquiries are considered
confidential. Inquires without legitimate contact information, included phone
numbers, will not be responded to.
Concerning Domain
Brokers
In addition to conducting business with self-representing parties, I work with
domain brokers. If you are a broker representing a client, your compensation for
a successfully negotiated transaction will be paid directly to you by them (your
client), NOT from proceeds that my client derives from the sale. This condition
is non-negotiable.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Domain Bundle Sale
This auction is for a domain bundle. .Net and .Org extensions are included as
brand protection. Domains contained within the bundle are not
offered individually.
Payment Process
Escrow.com, eBay's
approved escrow service, is used as the transaction facilitator. The auction winner is required to have an
Escrow.com account. If you do not have an account, you will need to create one-
which is free.
Funds must be deposited in the
account within 48 business hours of action close. Funds not deposited within
allotted timeframe will VOID TRANSACTION.
An accredited escrow company, Escrow.com
acts as a secure third party to protect Buyer and Seller. Abbreviated overview
of the escrow process:
- Buyer and Seller Agree to
Terms
Both parties agree to terms of the transaction, which includes the
domain name(s) and sale price.
- The Buyer Pays Escrow.com
The Buyer submits a payment, selecting wire transfer or in some
cases PayPal, credit card (American Express, Discover, MasterCard
and Visa) or check/money order. Escrow.com verifies good funds and
updates the website to prompt the seller to transfer the domain.
Payment options and Process times vary.
- The Seller Indicates the
Domain Name Transfer Process Has Started.
After payment is secure, the seller is prompted to work with the
buyer and the registrar to transfer the domain ownership to the
buyer. Each domain registrar has a different procedure to transfer
domain ownership.
- Domain Registration
Transferred by the Registrar
The inspection period is started once the Buyer indicates control
or Escrow.com confirms the WHOIS information reflects the Buyer’s
customer profile. The Buyer confirms full control through the
registrar and accepts the domain on the Escrow.com site.
- The Seller is Paid by
Escrow.com
When Escrow.com can verify the domain has been transferred to the
Buyer and the inspection period has ended, the Seller is paid. The
transaction is complete.
Escrow costs will be split evenly (50/50) between buyer and seller.
Domain
Transfer Process
The auction winner is required to have an
GoDaddy.com
account. If you do not have an account, you will need to create one-
which is free. I will contact you
regarding your GoDaddy.com
Customer # or ID, including
associated email address which is
needed in order to initiate the transfer. Domains are transferred free of charge.
Returns
NO RETURNS- ALL SALES ARE FINAL.
IMPORTANT
Domains are aggressively marketed on this and other venues- both on
and offline. My client (seller) reserves the right to end the
auction prior to it's conclusion.
