that's a nice list

This brings up something I should have anticipated:

(pardon me here: half drunk on a Sauternes here @ Dombuyer central)

Just because there are searches on an expression without the .com doesn't necessarily mean it will convert into type-ins.

In fact, a three word nonsensical expression like the one above will most certainly not give you any type-ins.

You have to have some critical thinking at play to wonder aloud if anyone will type something like that into their browser.

Nothing to lose @ $6.99, but try and imagine the days when we had to put up a $100 on our hunches.

:helpme

i see.... now when overture shows you the number of searches a set of words like that get... does it include in different order into that phrase?

ex: people relationship dating , relationship dating people....etc

The terms those 37754 people had been searching for could have been all the above, or even "Dating people in relationships" or "are people in relationships dating ?"
So the more words/combinations in the domain the more uncertain you can rely on those numbers :2 cents:

Nonsense. You introduced me to the game, but 1% of my brain is enough for me to find out how things work. What you did is igniting the flame, and explaining the ratio between ovt w/ ext and actual type-in traffic, and I thank you for that. Don't take more credit than you deserve though.

Thanks for your emails, I'll look into it. Your 'IP address' can be found in any email you send.

I would be interested in swimming down stream from you. In other words 2 years does not scare me.

Overture is an aggregate of what people will type into the major search engines.

Because many searches are stream-of-consciousness:

eg: "relationship dating people"

You have to be able to separate off those from actual type in phrases:

Most likely someone will type-in:

"relationships.com"

"datingpeople.com"

"dating"

...that sort of thing.

Don't fall into the very comon trap of thinking that a random search slug like "relationship dating people" will be typed in whole hog as is.

See the thing is that people know that search engines will take that three word phrase and spit out something they want.

But they also know intuitively that no one builds a site at:

"RelationshipDatingPeople.com"

So you have to be clear about the difference.

I know you asked DomBuyer but I can answer it as well.

Use the overture tool and type in all keywords + the .com extension, in your case peoplerelationshipdating.com. Without even checking, I can assure you it will get 0 results in that tool, and also 0 type ins in general.

You have to use common sense. Poeple are not typeing in random bullshit phrases like "people relationship dating" in their browsers.

Type in domains are names that are made of 1, two, or in rare cases three popular words and they sound also good and make sense, f.e nastybabes.com, hotsluts.com, asiandating.com, nudecelesbs.com, hotstuff.com, mp3downloads.com, airlinetickets.com etc. :)

ok, DomBuyer answered at the same time, I though he already left this thread and went talking to the seaside prostitutes :upsidedow

Dunno if anyone remembers this episode of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" where Larry picks up a hooker only because he wants to use the car pool lane to get to the Dodger game.

It's become my alibi on the 405.

man that episode is the shit. hahaha. :thumbsup

very nice post by the way. lol.

When you have the high bid for a phrase does your ad come up only if they type that phrase alone or as long as the phrase is in their search query?

Sticking with the earlier example suppose I have the high bid for "lick boobs". Does that mean that I only get an ad impression if they type in only the 2 words lick boobs or would I also get ad impressions if someone typed in chicks lick boobs or lick boobs all day long? (This is assuming they didn't put quotes around the entire phrase)
Am I correct in thinking that lick large boobs would not trigger my ad and I would only show up in the regular search results at the mercy of the algorithms and under pages with the term lick large boobs? (This is assuming lick boobs are my page's optimized keywords)

That is too funny.

Great thread Dombuyer, bookmarked.

ahh.... thank you for clearing that up for me... awsome thread :thumbsup

Great post ! great !

Excellent post, the more people in the game the better!

Excellent thread, have already learned much. Thanks Dombuyer :thumbsup

when I give this a shot i'll be in touch with you DomBuyer!

One question I have is, why not buy the domain and just develop it instead of selling? Developing would make more money in the long run while selling it would be one check....

If you're so inclined, it's absolutely better to develop.

I have a very short attention span, and I'm prone to taking a two hour lunch and ending up in another country three days later....lol

....so I don't have the interest in developing. But if you do, and you're patient, you're bound to make more money.

But in that case, you might as well pay $6.99 and brand a name instead of spending real money on a type-in domains. :2 cents:

Very cool thread. I just saw it now.

You guys should check out my new domain name trading site nicdo.com

:thumbsup

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh Just saw that now...

It really makes me laugh at how many people can not see that the only thing that he did with this thread is up his own income. Dont get me wrong, he has helped a lot of people, me included with this, but in the long run, he will make more.

COMPETITION is a GOOD THING!

read the whole post and it was a pleasure to see such a good thread. Fantastic compared to the usual shit on here !

It's a long post but I'm going to read it all

I sure hope to :thumbsup

Let's try to keep domains out of this thread otherwise it will get ruined.

ok cool, nevermind. worth a try though.

tony

Great thread... appreciated!

Curious... I see you're in Antigua... wondering if our paths ever crossed... I was there 2000-2002 doing the Sportsbook thing... living in Jolly Harbour & Dove Cove (near Lashings) and working in Redcliffe Quay... were you down there then? In those parts of the island?

Want to take Sportsbook.AG off my hands? Maybe flip it to one of the sportsbook guys still down there? :)

I sell for some of the highest prices for my friends.

most recently smut.com for more than 2-1/2 times what dombuyer offered.

If you have a choice domain - hollar.

Also, nobody mentions the tenses of the domains out there. most past tense and other variations of the main dictionary word are not very juicy.

We will look for all you domainiacs to jump on XDomains.com when we relaunch it.

evan @ xpays for anyone with a choice domain they want to go super retail on. leave the wholesale game to these guys.

<---super retail domain broker at your service. last homerun took less than 1 week to commence.

quick 6 or 7 for you and quick 5 for us

everyone is happy

ok, im confused... what nickname does Rick Schwartz go by nowadays?

josh kramlinger

too much work.

Great read DomBuyer :thumbsup

I sold analmature.com to slavik before and just wanted to know if I did a good deal. Now when I think about it I maybe sold it too cheap, but I needed the money at that time. How much is that domain worth?

Quite a generous post DB.

I've found some golden techniques as well that apparently the big players are either overlooking or don't have time for.

Like you I believe pennies add up and I don't mind picking up the "pennies" domains.

It surprises me how few people are actually playing the domain game. Everytime I pickup a nice domain I get puzzled how come no one else grabbed it or noticed it. I guess it all boils down to one's perspective just like looking at property investing in the real world. One guy will look at a fixer upper and keep driving. Another guy will stop and realize the quick profit that can be made with a small investment and then a flip.

I think enough domain tips knowledge has already been divulged in this thread. So I'll just add there are lots of nice domains you can make money on very easily. Plenty to go around for all and they will become more and more valuable as the Net continues its incredible growth.

If you guys have any domain names for sale, please list them at my new site nicdo.com. It needs listings.

Thank you!
