damn, someone registered it via domainplaza.ca but I see that is namescout and they use pool.com for their backordering so how the fuck did he get it? . I had my order in at pool.com but it shows some guy in Newark,DE as the new owner.

what is the exact time the domains are release? Is it at 6 am or at 6:15 am ?

imagine what people said 5 years ago... all I know is they won't be cheaper. plus all the new TLDs they've added (.info, .biz, .pro, .name, etc) haven't made a dent in .COM at all. so .COM will only rise, hopefully back to million dollar days. and if they ever approve .SEX or .XXX, maybe that TLD will be the one to watch.

if you're backordering at drop sites, the cut off time is 1-2PM EST. if you're domain was being deleted today, it has NOT dropped yet.

some of us are posting Recent Domain Sales here:

check it out.

if you need to reach me:
sponsorcash (at) mail .com
put "domain question" in subject or will get lost in sponsor spamdrive I'm doing. if anyone has sent me a question or info and did not get a reply yet, go ahead and send it again. :)

:thumbsup

won't be cheaper.

but they could be non existant :p

Technology moves so fast you really don't know.

For my sake, I hope not!
;)

Good point. For all we know, the Internet as we know it might not even exist anymore in 5 years.

Internet, non existant? :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Yup

The internet will last longer than any of us here. Even when the Govt launches SecureNET and Nexternet/Internet2, we'll still use domains to navigate. the Internet will evolve, but not die. in 5 years the only domains that may be left to register will be like this:

www.hdsjahdjashsnjdj23kdjskjdkasjdak43094.com

:)

but in case the domain market dies, be sure to diversify OFFLINE. if you need opportunities/ideas for businesses, drop me a line. It won't be inexpensive ($10k-$150K+), but you have to diversify, just in case. especially if an event similar to 9-Eleven happens again and targets the web, most people willl be lost and have no backup plan and no revenue stream. but I'm not going to discuss all this mumbojumbo and jinx myself. nuff said.

The Internet will, but the World Wide Web might not.

Internet is strong like bull!

The only thing I don't like about this domian drop biz is how the hell do we know that Enom and the others are not just in there acting as shills in the acutions?

Taboo ...

I can't find the thread you posted earlier today with the 'drop results' for various companies. Can you post the link please?

Thanks!

Hey Taboo, I really like your concept for Official.

Also-

Could you enlighten me as to why some people bid up the domain before the domain even drops?

re: OFFICIAL.com

Thanks...

re: drops

LOL. I have no idea, except to scare away competition. still does not work because as low as $10-$60 will buy you in elsewhere. back in the day, I use to call pool and beg them to try "harder" to get a domain and I'd offer to pay $X whether or not someone else bid on it. not sure if they ever did listen to me :) but I got some "ok" domains thru them.

Thanks again Taboo :thumbsup

looks like adultvideochat.com and cybermodel.com dropped today and pool got them both. nice. :)

yes it was, thanks from me also

so how many of you are trying the drop services?

I successfully grabbed a 1 word domain through snapnames

I only picked brandslams.com, which I am going to use for my own purposes.

Gotta bid on a few here the next couple of days.

One of the best things about looking over lists of domain names are all of the ideas you get for similar domain names.

In looking over those lists I have gotten ideas for several good domains and some of them were not even registered when I checked.

congrats. wanna share?

I got FacialFetish.com today.I'm happy. :)
I was waiting a long time for that to open.
almost a year.

BrandSlams is great. wow. seriously, great name for a naming company or incubator for your ideas.

nice.

and you are so right about every domain on the list leading to new ones. also new businesses you never thought about getting into. but sooner or later, if you don't take a break, you zone out because they all start looking the same.

i miss going thru the list, but I do not miss playing catch up if I missed a day. worst feeling in the world is finding a name you wanted to backorder AFTER the 1 or 2 o'clock drop deadline.

:)

Buttflea.com is dropping! Put your orders in everywhere or you will miss your chance for wealth and stardom.

Taboo, I read the entire post, impressive and incisive to say the least. Thanks to you, i picked up a few delightful pda and sms names, even a one word dictionary domain that rocked my world and a single word woman's name as well.

nice. great news. when you feel comfortable sharing what you got, let me know.

woman's name? i haven't found too many of those. But I found a cool one for a single girl site I'm helping someone out with. :)

...back to the mines

ROUND 3 Domain DropTest: + another 3 letter drops today!
http://bbs.gofuckyourself.com/showth...hreadid=343155

Quick question... do you think more or less google results for a two word domain is best?

eg...

less results = more targeted to consumers?
more results = more [false?] appeal to domain buyers?

I registered a .com that has two words that fit together as a common real estate phrase. There are 321,000 results in google and the first few pages all refer to its intended usage.

10k$ to invest in domain? Dang!

anyone want to buy tonespalace.com or cheapbargainwarehouse.com, DAGOODLIST.COM, MATURE4EVER.COM, MP3SMANIA.COM, FEMALEDOMINATES.COM, GAGGEDASIANMEAT.COM, FASTBETONLINE.COM

4th round domain drop test coming soon.

Check this url below for a book called "BrandSlam"

Nice grab:thumbsup

PRD.com would have been great, theres a company in Au. called PRD Nationwide. prd.com.au - they're a realestate biz that probably wouldn't have international IP rights on the name.

The information is still pilling up. fucking awesome.
