Since you're into making assured predictions, I'm hoping you can tell me who will win the super bowl this coming year.

Just reg this

Thanks. Rep Left.

I am not interested in regging these for investment. But did reg my last name, and a few others for brand protection.

Hi guys thanks for the great forum.
I have a pertinent question for you, and probably is a dumb one. What happens if you register a trademarked .tel domain?

[thetruman]

probably you will receive a communication to let the domain drop or give to the company itself

[bmugford]

How long does it take from the time you reg one, until it resolves? I regged one, filled out some info and still see "pendingcreate" on the whois.

Brad

[thetruman]

whois update will take a while I guess as the ones I registered 2-3 days ago still says pending create ; don t think is a major issue anyway...

just checked, my domains are not in pending create anymore...

[hcabrita]

ok.its a 4 letter word, but I just realised it is a trademark as well.
If they don't contact me I don't have to do nothing right?
I'm new in this world of domaining, and I don't really know how am I supposed to deal with this.

Btw, thanks for the quick answer

For SEO purpose, it's about # of backlinks (# of sites linking back to your site) and not the number of links I have on my site.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but as I recall, Google doesn't like sites full of links and not much content.

Imagine if you list 10 companies, and every pays you just $20/month for that listing, thats easy $200/month for you just because you have good .tel domain. Even best .com domains will very rare earn $200/month on parking, without any tricks. ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=561820 I think .tel is a great thing

Interesting, but...
If companies can own their own .tel, they can just register their own .tel name (or get it back from the other owner through C&D letter and so forth) or they can simply create a contact us page.

Realistically, how is anyone going to get $20/month for the listing?
Unless the person paying for the advertisement is not knowledgeable about the internet, he'll know about the importance of traffic and so on.

He'll ask
1) How much traffic do you receive per day/week/month?
2) Why should I pay $20/month on your site? What benefit does that give me?

[mitok]

I understand your concerns.

But for example, if you have: fastfood(s)paris.tel (available at the moment ) and you contact fastfoods in Paris if they want to be listed at that .tel and pay you for that. Dont have to be $20, that could be $0,5/month, and could be $150/month.
Hungry adolescents and tourists could mess around in 3am, and while drinking beer at some park could take their cell phone and type fastfoodparis.tel, and find contacts of some fastfoods, and check if they are nearby and if they are opened at 3am, and if they are, they will go there to take some food.
Just some example, there is much better .tel domains.

Thats an answer to your question number 2.
And about question number 1, you can say that .tel is modern way to be informed about contact infos for everything you want and that your domain perfectly fit niche they are in, and that think about what would they type first as .tel adress if they want "fast food in Paris"

uhh. What is the "13 telephone concept"??

[buyauthority]

This is why you need to do keyword research first before thinking up a name. Find out what people are interested in and you'll have a market to sell to. There's still a lot of good keywords to be picked up yet.

[NathanJacob]

Some pretty good info about the .TEL CP functionality.. you have to see it to believe me: http://telnic.org/tel-tutorial-overview.html

Also, an interesting Advertisement.. this is called smart marketing: http://telnic.org/index.html

[Pichichi]

i will hear offers for backorders.tel if anyone is interested

Then i just can approach to few of my domains, i can choose them from "logged into:....." ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=561820 But i have there only few of my .tel to choose, and where are the others??? For each when i check whois, i see my contacts, and all are at my Dynadot account, but there at telhost dashboard or whatever, i see only few which i can choose? And there are some that i regged yesterdar night, and some regged before are not. What to do? Why is that? Anyone can tell me please?

All I did to make it live (less than 8 hours) was log into
telhost.dynadot.com clicked whichever .tel I needed,
(they should be listed on the top right)
added an email address - made it public - and a few hours later
it was live. Then I went back and did what I wanted to it.

As for the others not being there, are they in pending order status?
When I bought my 2nd, it went into the .tel part without me doing
anything - I just went in to it and made it live with a public email.

[kukgle]

Just picked capital city which still left.

portofspain.tel (Trinidad and Tobago)
guatemalacity.tel (Quatemala)
vientiane.tel (Laos)
luxembourgcity.tel (Luxembourg)
nuuk.tel (Greenland)
niamey.tel (Niger)

Most of them have not much population but I just like the capital city.

Well that's what I thought too.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=561820
affiliate links to a useful service or product.

For example - and this is just a question at the moment,
I have a link on penticton.tel that is for an event centre in Penticton
if I had an affiliate account with the "TicketMaster" wouldn't that be a
way to monetize if I can get the traffic?

It's called cybersquatting. 13Flowers.com is owned by Flowers.com.au

Don't start namecalling around this forum or you'll find yourself banned.

Oh, and 13flowers.tel is one of the most ridiculous reg's I've ever seen.

Subdomains are simply not popular nowadays.

They used to be commonplace until the mid-1990s but domains are so cheap now that they are less needed.
Ask yourself how often do you visit websites hosted on subdomains (yeah I know .tel is not about websites but you'll either have to type or click on a link to reach a .tel domain).
