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.

Domain Strategic Benefits
Ownership of category and sub-category defining generic domain names offer a number of significant strategic benefits:

  • Product Association

  • Brand Protection

  • Consumer Credibility

  • Type-In-Traffic (estimated to be 20% of all internet traffic)

  • Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

  • Search Engine Marketing (SEM)

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:

  1. Buyer and Seller Agree to Terms
    Both parties agree to terms of the transaction, which includes the domain name(s) and sale price.
     
  2. 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.
     
  3. 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.
     
  4. 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.
     
  5. 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.
