adult domain sales STILL suck?

I'm constantly in the market for names. It's either your names are not that good or is not what I'm looking for. If I find something I like, you're most likely over charging for it. Times are not the same, prices should be reconsidered.

I'm not surprised to see your cam domain sales up because cams make money. They're interactive and there are customers that spend hundreds in one sitting...

domains sell just fine, people usually just have overpriced shitty domains that dont sell

$15 to $40 for some decent domains isn't overpriced.

You must not be in the market for teen domains

I understand how the adult market is right now, but I think $15 to $40 for a domain isn't overpriced.

mainstream is where the $$$$ at

Would disagree somewhat with that. Mainstream is dying a bit too. Sales or clicks are not that precious as they used to be say a few years ago. Internet users seems to developed bit of blindness for ads or affiliate sales etc. Competition has also multiplied in the last few years which too is not helping. Recession did not help too.

Both porn as well as mainstream are somewhat dying due to all these factors.

You just need to promote a product that is in demand, and which can not be torrented or given away for free. Versus porn, it's x100 more profitable.

totally disagree that mainstream is dying. there is a health and beauty resurgence, convergence of e-commerce sales/offers, payday loan and debt is hot, dating is hot. we recommend http://nonadult.com for mainstream action.

You recommend yourselves do ya?

Congrats on the strong sales activity lately...higher-end domains are typically the least-likely to see sales dips since they're always heavily in demand.

it's semantics, however the 2 companies are totally separate notwithstanding my personal participation in both.

back to the topic- yes- buyers who used to consider the brandable adult names are more apt to purchase logical keywords and dictionary names and established revenue sites these days. we have some $x,xxx deals in the fire right now too, so it is not 100% doom and gloom for the smaller names.

I don't think a lot of people realize how much business is actually tied to affiliate webmasters. 500 big companies in the business versus 50,000 small and medium sized businesses. Having more potential customers helps to keep prices higher. Once the customers become fewer it's easier for them to start dictating better terms.

Domains, hosting, scripting, and content are all heavily tied to the fate of the "little guy". Ironically, so is this forum.

Missing out on what?
