.BZ Drop Madness

Sam · 01-15-2007, 12:22 AM

I am still shell shocked over this one

Some guy basically monopolized the top 100 keywords in the .bz namespace all the way back in 2001. For some real ODD reason, every single one of them dropped. I was able to get around 43 of those keywords (the other ones are available still

, so get scanning!)
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/domain-appraisals/281407-bz-drop-madness.html

I spent around $1,100 on .bz registrations (which i would have never imagined myself to do

) but i do believe it will be a solid ROI.

Anyways here are the names

. I know some are better then others. This IMO will be a great "expiriment" to see how much money people are really willing to pay for good keywords.

Oh jesus...I envy you! Very nice catches, Sam. That's what I get for more or less getting out of the ccTLDs, lol.

Sam · 01-15-2007, 12:51 AM

crooky i always loved talking to you about cctlds, what happened to you? btw... couldn't resist. had to register USA.BZ

***Domainate.com*** · 01-15-2007, 12:59 AM

Bet.bz is available and tempting...

I dunno what happened...I'm too busy anymore to really stay competitive with the ccTLDs.

Sam · 01-15-2007, 01:13 AM

Very odd. I thought i included bet.bz in my script list. donated some nps

sdsinc · 01-15-2007, 05:05 AM

These are some very decent keywords. But do .bz names truly sell ?

Sam · 01-15-2007, 12:38 PM

That is the question sds, i guess this is the true barometer

AzN · 01-15-2007, 12:40 PM

Very solid registrations.
I wonder what else is there

sdsinc · 01-15-2007, 03:53 PM

If the poor guy couldn't sell his premium .bz after 5 years what makes you think you will do better ?

I haven't been able to sell my Poker.in for over a year and a half, and it has nothing to do with no one being interested in it nor does it mean the name isn't of high quality. As far as Sam's names go, Travel.bz especially could be flipped for low $x,xxx pretty easily...Travel.ext names are very hard to come by. The old owner may have been asking for too much for all the names, and/or died before he got a chance to sell them. After all, why not auction them off if you KNOW they're good and are going to drop and you don't want to renew?

keesj · 01-15-2007, 04:45 PM

I posted some available .BZ domains, check out my signature.

I believe .in probably has better days ahead than .bz, not to mention that India is a huge market. At present .bz looks more like a vanity item and it does not seem to be very popular even within Belize.

As for Travel.bz being flipped for low $x,xxx pretty easily I am a bit surprised.
Are there any past .bz sales in that range ? I would appreciate some more insight into the reasons that make you think investing in that TLD is worthwhile.

Skinny · 01-15-2007, 05:33 PM

Have any more .com's

Thanks a lot.

Travel.anything is worth a lot, as travel is one of the most powerful domain keywords and it is very tough to get Travel in any extension. .bz has a little more worth than most lowr-end ccTLDs like .vg, .tc, etc. because of its LL.bz and NN.bz markets. Most decent keywords are already taken in .bz while available in many other ccTLDs...bottom line, it's on the upper end of low-end ccTLDs. Given both of those things, I don't think it would take much effort for a low $x,xxx flip of Travel.bz. I'm not saying it would sell in 5 seconds once listed (it actually is already listed on Sedo), but I don't think he would have to wait longer than half a year to get that much.

The reason why I said what I said about Poker.in was to illustrate that perhaps the previous owner was asking for too much, which is a common way for a domain NOT to sell even if there is interest in it. By the way, happy 1,500th post to me, lol.

Sam · 01-23-2007, 03:51 PM

Looks like one of my .bz names earned a whopping $24 today in parking

. Blind luck! I can pay off my entire investment within 2-3 months off that one name

LANIERRJ · 01-28-2007, 11:20 AM

How much for the health.bz name?

Times like this make me want to shout, "damitssam!".

Nice job. I'm a BZ fan myself but haven't been keeping up to date with checking availability. Excellent keywords!

I'm very curious to what any of those get you back. Nice job on making $24 in parking on one domain in one day!

Thanks etab. The site is going around $20 a day now on sedopro (not bad considering its SEDO pro

).

Apologies for reviving an older thread, but I'd be interested in an update from Sam on how the experiment has gone to date. Decent traffic, CTR, sales? Thanks. (By the way, very nice list RocketFly.)

Sam · 03-21-2007, 07:21 PM

Dear Mr. Nameluxe,

To give you an update:

Auto.bz is pending sale via Sedo at $550 ($400 after fees

).

My $20 a day .bz name has crashed in terms of revenue down to the High $X a day.

But it has earned over $1.1k in parking, so the investment has payed off already

.

Kind Regards,
Sam

I am shocked that bz is still worthless. And it will stay foreva.
