DB,

do you think new.net 's .xxx domains are worthless? I would think with the backing they have that if icann approved .xxx mabey they would get a first shot in the door, mabey not. Bought a few 2-3 yrs back or so..

I wondered how long it would take you to reach the boiling point! Now you know how it feels to get blasted on the forums and flooded via email/im...

I met lots of great people, but if I replied to everyone, I wouldn't have had any time to work.

LOL.

also, my pages got optimized faster/better after I turned off the pops... because people stayed around to click/search. after they've been optimized and if DSv3 is truly better/faster, then maybe I'll turn back the pops.

Willing to sign up under someone on fabulous or domain sponsors as I now have some traffic for them. Been buying with both hands. Big quesion is that number of $40/k good on adult for fabulous.com? Just trying to see where to throw it as it is mostly adult related.

Taboo,

I am going to remove the pops and see what happens. The revenue isn't great on the pops so I would rather have a faster loading page that is better opt.

Thanks for the tip :thumbsup

DomainSponsor Ref

I'll leave the Fab ref for someone else

:)

The best reading ever....I nominate this tutoral for a Nobel Prize!

DB, how do you value mainstream type in domains?

Do you think they also sell for f.e 2 years income, or are they more valuable than adult ones?

I assume you value them also when it comes to re-sell possibility to some companies, while the adult ones you base their value only on how much they will earn to you in a certain period of time?

Just a heads up but one he complains about missing in this thread went for 5 years income. cityhall.com

Domain sponsor is starting DS 3.0 with some great advances including less wait time.
If anyone would like to sign up, you are free to use my ref :)

Fabulous requires you have one hundred domains. sort of not set up for that yet.

I swear to god, I've gone from travelling the world, doing an hour of work and then enjoying a nice meal with friends.....

....to sitting in front of this screen and answering every crackpot with a gmail account.

My income has declined about 4000% in just the last two days, blood pressure has increased in kind, and consumption of wine has gone as high as the price of Paula Abdul's Vicodin prescription.

I'm going back to being the Zen snob that I am, hitting "suprise me" on travelocity's flight planner and jerking off to Stephen J. Hick's latest.

:helpme :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I just have one question

Is every search term with the .com that returns with a certain number of searches per month in overtures tool considered a type in dn?

I'm still trying to figure out how you can be sure it's a type in dn.

I just bought weed.in

I'm going to be rich!

:1orglaugh

Like he said at the beginning, you don't really know the traffic until you test it on your own hosting. The overture tool is exactly that: a TOOL to help domainers make an educated guess. If a domain gets results when searched in OVT with the extension, then do further research. It may be a typo domain. It may be that the .net is a developed site (but surfers mistakenly type in the .com).

I have seen domains that return over 100 results in Overture with Extension and have NO TRAFFIC. I have also seen domains that show no Overture results with extenstion that get tons of typeins. There is no formula. It's more of an art than a science.

:)

Dayum, this thread is still going?!

Ok thanks for the clarification.... :thumbsup

I thought it was 50 min. :2 cents:

:Graucho

i love being a thread killer :uhoh

I'll reply so your post isn't a self-fulfilling prophecy. :1orglaugh

anybody interested in entensity.com?
 

anybody interested in entensity.com? Just check it's overture ranking, 1968. That's 2000. Huge! I've decent offers, but IM me at AOL screenname Electrowerks, if you'd like to chat and make an offer. It's a serious domain for a serious buyer.

I am still throwing money into high end domains.

I'll post em next week when the deal is done. :thumbsup :thumbsup

we're also buying TYPEINS and TYPOS....... email me at paul AT massivedollars.com (protected with SpamArrest) send me your domains for saie...... but remember TYPEINS or TYPOS only.....

Great article - your method is highly inefficient
 

I am doing the same business as you. Your info is really great, but your process and end result (I would imagine) is highly inefficient. By inefficient, I mean that the theoretical and practical model of a) what kind of names have type-in, b) what kind of revenue-generating programs maximimze the revenue and c) the power of focused portfolios

I don't see the value in having thousands of domains when 80% of your revenue comes from 20% of the properties. Scrap the 80%, I've found a focused domain portfolio to be most pleasant and streamlined.

Also the idea of putting up a generic search page with revenue paid by a company that most likely resells your traffic to a ad buyer is absolutely not that great. It is horribly inefficient. What *is* most efficient is when a domain name with type-in traffic is highly targetted to a revenue-generating online service that pays via online subscriptions. (e.g. adult affiliate programs). These generate far more stable, higher, and long-term profit in my opinion.

But generally, the idea is definitely cool, owning these properties can be lucrative, but I don't see these properties as being as long term as say real estate. I doubt the Internet will be the same 40 years from now, it could change to the point that the model is radically changed so it makes sense that properties sell at lower multiples than real world assets.
