If you would have bothered reading the thread at all.. You would understand what you have is not a name hack. Name hacks use a cctld or extension to create the word. What you have is 14$ registration burned.

not hacks, but recognized as related category: "leet domains"

the 2 examples you listed are decent and might be worth a modest sum to someone ...

The first few posts were on biz-2.biz. So it did not seem unreasonable to ask.





If I could read every thread and every post on namepros I would:
A) Be an expert domainer and not need to ask any questions
B) Be spending too much time here

I have never bothered with name "hacks" and am not versed at all in the description. I do not want to be a name hack domainer .... I just happen to have these (My home town) and thought I would ask.

My apologies for having offended you, and any other members, with my question. Perhaps I asked a question other members wanted to ask but feared getting berated for asking .....
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/cctld-discussion/299608-value-of-domain-hacks.html

After going back and reading most of the thread it is more clear to me now. That the extension is included in the overal construction of a name "hack". And if a fellow NPs members asks me, about name hacks, I will answer them with that explanation rather than the retort you gave me.





Very cool ..... I like em too

I used to just regged only 2 to 3 letter and I didn't think there were any value anything longer than 4 letter. I was dead wrong. Now, after seeing some hack sales with more than 4 letter in them I realized they have good values too.

I have reported in another thread about the latest news on my domain hack 'JesusChri.st' but thought the news might encourage a few here. The latest Alexa weekly rankings for JesusChri.st is...............423,786 !
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=299608

This just goes to show that word recognition of a domain hack can and is worth it. Here is a comparative list for some other Alexa weekly rankings for similar non-hacked domain names:

Domain............Alexa Weekly rank............Alexa 3 monthly rank

Bible.com..................22,405.......................... 21,533
God.com.................186,640.........................2 19,194
Jesus.com...............378,505.........................302 ,922
JesusChri.st.............423,786......................4,542,34 0
JesusChrist.com........821,382........................661,559
Christ.com...............837,888........................738, 774


All the above are developed websites, so comparrisson is legitimate, but remember JesusChri.st has only been up 3 weeks. I hope this will finally prove that domain hacks can and do have value.

Do not trust DotMaroc.ma for registering your .ma domain hacks!

I lost two valuable geo domain hacks with them. They simply issued a refund and registered the names for themselves!

TheBaldOne, I've been keeping my eye on your hack and it is very impressive to have JesusChri.st to be in that rank for short period of time. Nice work.

Thanks Xman.

This is getting embarrasing though, I have just checked Alexa again and they have now given the weekly rank up to May 10th, it now stands at 377,387.

LOL

That's a good one TheBaldOne. You really did a great job with your domain.

I acquired 4 more short hacks to put in my collection.

What are you doing to promote it (other than posting here)? Obviously there is something more to this if you surpassed the non-hacked domain jesuschrist.com which has been online for over a decade...

lzy

L45V3G45.com (available at time of posting )

You should get this to be truly L337! Plus it has more results than both your present names!

Xman, LOL!

Scabies, I have last week 'paid' for a few keywords on two new sites advertised on DNF, as well as posting there. It seems mainly to be viral, I have had several emails now thanking me for the site and hoping I get the Old Testament up soon as well as the forum. Generally it seems to have hit an open niche in the market and people are referring other people to it.

I have a very small advertising campaign that will run to the end of this month, but that is only bringing in about 20 visitors a day. Now whether people are not clicking on those adds but visiting later I cannot say. If that is the case then it proves 'name recognition' is occuring, but that would just be a guess at best at this stage, and although I would hope that is what is happening it surely cannot be happening this much!

I do know from the emails I have received people appreciate the site, if I knew exactly what was going on I would copy it with my other domains. I do think it is the power of the domain name and the design and content that is really the key though.

Let us see how the next couple of weeks go. I would say one thing though, it doesn't matter if a site has been up 10 years, if a better site comes along people will obviously migrate to it.

***************************

Update 05/15/08
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=299608

It is only right that I announce that todays updated Alexa weekly rank for the week ending May 11th has dropped to 405,205.

Although a drop of 30,000 I am hoping (of course) it is an anomally, but we shall wait and see.

How come people are rushing to buy them? I don't know, apparently some people like them. I personally can't stand them, I couldn't ever see a scenario where i'd want to brand a domain hack or build a business around one. It's been done successfully but it's a hack, just like the name implies. The only time i'd ever consider one would be for keyword power to monetize it like was done with jesuschri.st .

Is it d.elicio.us or de.licio.us or del.icio.us or deli.cio.us or delic.io.us ? They've done ok for themselves, but they still have this huge problem. It's taken me several tries to pull that site up before.

Guys, what do you think about one from my signature? It is balanced (two letters on each side of the dot), so there is no confusion about this one. The term might not be so popular these days, but I guess 80M google results, 8000 monthly searches (per Trellian) and potential commercial use (mobile telephony) indicate some value here. I would like to hear you opinions.

TheBaldOne

Andrejc, it is a good one, have you tried either developing it with info about what GPRS is and put Adsense adverts on?
