martinisky · 05-17-2008, 09:28 AM

Somebody tell me this entire thread is a wind up!

What possible purpose do these domains serve?

probably that "w-o-r-d.com" is in the search engines the same as "word.com" .. Search engines do not see the hyphens when the name is fully hyphenated.. and its a good chance getting a generic a la generic domain..

Search engines probably don't distinguish as you say, but that doesn't mean they can't and won't. It is only a question of tweaking to stop such anomalies sneaking through. How do you know when Google just puts a spanner in the works? For all you know it could happen tomorrow. The reason they have not already done so is that they have not as yet deemed it affects the quality of the results returned. The minute they figure they are being spammed, it is game over.

martinisky · 05-17-2008, 09:59 AM

well thats exactly why people are trying to make money off it now and the same reason why this thread exists..... check out the l-l-l.com thread.... if a search engine decides to change their way then thats their choice, but there are already tons of developed l-l-l.com sites that would get hurt in that process. This thread is just an extension of the L-L-L.com thread basically. W-O-R-D-S are definitely not mainstream but some people have made money off of them... no need to be negative about this, but there is a need to be aware of the points you make sure. And i think most people on this thread are aware..... sure its speculative, but without risk comes no reward.

J-E-D-I.com

im not really a big star wars fan but this seems like somebodys gotta want this baby...imagine the logo, the dashes could be lightsabers....

G-O-S-P-E-L.com

What do you think ?

alanj878 · 05-20-2008, 12:45 AM

Wow thats good news its a .net too.

Maybe theres hope for hyphenated domains yet

Rubber Duck · 05-20-2008, 07:45 PM

This is complete madness. If all we are talking about is Search Engine "cloaking" then W-O-R-D-S.com is no more valuable than W-OR-D-S.com, W-OR-D-S.com, WO-R-D-S.com or W-O-R-DS.com. Indeed, it is worse than that because there a quite a few IDN characters to which search engines are also currently blind and indeed the one that they are most likely to pick up on in the near future is the hyphen itself, so the IDN cloaked varieties are probably going to sustain income for longer and are hence probably more "valuable" if that is right expression. Worse than this, Latin IDN characters are not distinguished at the moment by search engines which is a two edged sword but it means that each of the letter can currently be substituted in many different ways. The permutation are almost endless, making each variant worthless, even the most obvious ones.

First off I started this thread to see why over 80% of the w-o-r-d-s were gone (very interesting if you ask me) and why no one really has talked about them so far. I wanted to know why so many were regged and if anyone had any stats on the ones they owned. I picked up a a couple in the beginning and one right off the bat one started making me $30 a month (it was a dropped one with history). Then people started saying google sees them the same as their non-hyphen brothers. If this is the case shouldn't that add value right there. Plus the one big thing for them I believe is being marketable albeit more so in print when being advertised newspaper/billboard/website/link etc. They are very memorable and people looking at them know instantly what they are about eg l-a-w-y-e-r-s very easy to remember plus you know when you click on the link what your going to get. Plus they are .COM (The KING) and the public loooves .com.

I believe you can't go wrong with .com plain and simple. I see you touting

.su
http://www.namepros.com/domain-name-...u-auction.html

IMO after reading that thread .su is 'complete madness' as you say. But the proof is in the pudding as 'they' say so thats why I ask people to post results for their w-o-r-d-s.

Again this thread was in no way intended to hype w-o-r-d-s as almost all were already sold (unlike .su with fake sales etc)

Sorry, RubberDuck, but if you want us to believe that, you'll have to bring us some serious proof that these sales are genuine.

I can see that you're trying to create a hype and that you want people to get interested in those IDNs you've invested so heavily in, but you'll have to do better than providing us with a shady Russian webpage.

ANyways, keep posting sales and if anyone has any stats to report about the ones they own I would be very interested. PLus always interesting to see sites using w-o-r-d-s being developed. If anyone comes across a nice one please post it.

Seriously tired of people knocking this down. You have your opinion rubber duck. Now get over yourself. There selling, a ton of them are registered and search engines are willing to place them high. Just those three examples make them worth. What there worth are up to end users, and domainers themselves.

Search engines have done nothing to make them worthless, to predict out of the blue. That google/yahoo/live would do something to disturb this. Just goes to show that your theory is wrong. As well as everything you have said is almost complete BS.

I will have J-O-K-E-R.com at eBay Friday. Not sure about eBay for these, but thought I would give it another shot with the Batman movie coming out soon featuring the Joker. I have a reserve of just $25 for it.

Just bought W-I-N-K.com for $60 at sedo. In fact, I'll go pay for it now. Good price I think. I can see it being a dating site easily. Or some kind of social networking site. Wink.com is a pr6 "people search engine". 344 million google results for wink.
