Wink.net: I guarantee you I will get $15k-$25k for this name
One word dot nets are one of the best places to park your money right now. Mark my words.
Some of the "experts" in this biz think they're a waste of money. Selling prices for one word .nets (ONLY) are creeping up steadily. Companies that aren't especially concerned about traffic, but are more interested in branding, will choose a .net every time over all other alternate non .com extenstions--especially if it's short. fun.net, bank.net, frames.net, push.net...that kind of thing. Do not put your money into any two worders that aren't incredibly popular phrases such as downloadmusic.net. About a year ago, I sold funk.net for a couple of grand. What a mistake. A year ago, I had a chance to buy find.net for $7500. Now it's a multiple of that. So all you guys that start investment threads asking how to get into this game, here's your starter thread. Contact owners, start by offering a grand or two, and you could see quite a multiple in the coming months as more .nets start selling. It's one of the few areas of the domain biz that is neglected, because most buyers are focused--rightly--on traffic names. But the web ain't going away, and people can buy or generate traffic to send to a branded .net. I bought wink.net a fraction of what I will get for it. ![]() ![]() |

One important thing: Always check out what is operating on the .com before you consider the value of the .net.

I wouldn't hesitate for a moment to start a dating site at wink.net, especially if I couldn't get the .com for less than $30-50k (right now it's dead). You're not going to get any cheap .net's that have substantial traffic. Find the ones where the owners fed up with its lack of ppc revenue. ![]() |

DK is most notable for saying that when you brand on a .net, you're handing 25% of your customers to the .com, and that is absolutely true, but this is mostly known by people in the domain business, not by brand and IT people. The branding potential of a slick .net can gain legitimacy and traffic by virtue of its brevity and memorability.
The gap between .com prices and .net prices means a company might be willing to brand on the .net and use their saved money to get people to the site. |

sorry to bust your bubble, but no chance i hell you'll get $25k for that
domain anytime soon. maybe $5k tops. $10k is a real stretch. $15k, sure but back in 99, $25k, not even in 99. the bottom line is this, if you have to spend millions on branding a name, you might as well be branding winkerwinks.biz.uk and people will go there. a good domain receives targeted typein traffic, so if i own "bigtits.com" ( which I don't), i can be pretty sure i'll get a lot of visitors typing in that domain to see "big tits". i don't have to market the crap out of that domain to see $$, it will make $$ on its own with no branding and no marketing. seems like you're trying to convince yourself here. |

forgot to add this in:
if i buy a .net, no matter how great it is, i'll still have to put a LOT of money into advertising to get people to go there, and even THAN they'll still be typing in the .com TLD to get to my site. so why would i buy wink.net for $25k if I can buy winkywinks.net for $6.85 (reg fee), i'd still have to brand and market both! |

Why is it worth that again? No traffic...no type ins (.net)...
Somebody please for once explain these prices to me. I have a feeling the names itself are worthless and its just a game of buying and selling for crazy prices. I mean the product itself doesnt really matter, it could be a pen or a piece of paper. Know what i mean? |

wink.biz is possible free and 6 bucks. Now i can buy that and spend 25k on advertising or i can buy wink.net for 25k and still need to spend a similar amount on advertising. Does the surfer really care if its .biz or .net? Is it really worth 25k? I think not, so thats why i think its a game of buying and selling and its not about the domain itself, it couldve been any random product. |

what makes it worth $25k? i just sold posters.net, which i think is MUCH better than wink.net for under $10k. that's after 2 years of having it for sale on sedo.com and no takers. guess what, whoever bought it, will have to spend mega $$$ to pump traffic there, but if they bought posters.com for say, $100k they have guaranteed traffic for life, with $0 on promotion. the site would grow by itself. if you think .nets are worth more than a quarter of what the .com sells for, you need to get your head checked, and maybe do some research. how many average web surfers are even AWARE of the .net TLD? why is it that whenever a company brands the SHIT out of their .net or other TLD site, the .COM always gets a lot more visitors? it's because people have .COM burned into their brains. |

Why is posters.net "better" than wink.net? Again, you don't understand branding and marketing. Plus, you're comparing type-in names to non type-in names. There's no comparison. You're not reading what I've written. |

i have a few one worders .net , but they can't compete with 2 worder .com i bought
yesterday and parked on Sedo. It's a first time i was really impressed with Poker domain name(never bought them before) and it's PPC revenew. But again, it's about PPC not branding the name. Regarding wink.net - i think it's very cool name, but not better than TeenLove.net i own which gets around 1K hits per month. |

.net names might increase in value, but .com is still a better investment

.nets can sell for some coin to the right buyer but it's a tough road.
I sold tr.net for over 40k a few years ago but it took some time. I get offers sometimes for tvshows.net and moviestars.net but only a few k..

Many people type in a domain name and leave the extension off. for aol.com they type in aol and hit enter. The browsers in english defaults first to the .com extension. If one is not found then it goes to the .net and then .org This search pattern is coded into the browsers depending on the language you are using. so wink.biz would never come up as long as wink.com .net or .org is available to be viewed. This pattern is why certain domains get "Type in" hits. |

I had a $5k offer wink.net just the other day, which is about 5x what I paid for the name just two months ago. I turned it down: I think it's worth more.
You have to choose wisely and be patient. Those people that say there's no difference between wink.net and .biz for $6.99 simply have clue. If you're selling fridge magnets, it don't matter. But if you're creating a romance/dating site that hopes to gain any sort of credibility in the marketplace, you don't brand under anything but .com or .net. |
