Premium names ... no links on Enom.com
I don't know if anyone's noticed but there was not one mention of the Premium names launch (or the availability of Premium names) on the front of the Enom.com, Enom.tv and BulkRegister.com websites. Why would that be? I would have thought they would have pasted the words "Premium names" across all these sites. What's more, there is no mention of the Premium names launch in Enom's News round-up on the front of its website.

These are either monumental stuff-ups or there is a Demand Media strategy in place of deliberately not publicising the Premium names.

The other thing that doesn't make sense is that there have been (and still are) prime one-word generic .tv names selling in Afternic's bazaar, on Sedo and in this forum for anything from $9 to several thousand dollars. The number of sub-$200 prime names that have been available is nothing short of amazing. Demand would have known there were prime names going at cheap prices, so why didn't it embark on a buy-up campaign in order to boost the number (and depth) of the Premium names it was planning to offer?

There's a lot of aspects of this Premium name launch that don't add up. If anyone's got any thoughts on these issues, I'd love to hear them.

Look at market conditions
Tourists.tv sold on SEDO auction for $800 a few days ago.

PersonalTrainers.tv sold on EBAY for less than $100 a couple weeks ago.

There are still VERY FEW .TV sales (secondary market) above $1,000.

In fact, there appear to be very few premium domain sales above $1,000.

Conventional Wisdom is the GEO .TV sales are hot. Well, we have stopped pursuing any additional GEOs at this time. So that is one major player out of that market.

.TV will be hot one day. My guess 12-24 months down the road.

I agree with allthings.

Good questions.

Maybe they thought it might appear that they are greedy? I'm not saying they are greedy but maybe the pricing structure (and the little problem with renewals early on) forced them to do a soft launch?

Maybe they didn't want the full spotlight on the roll out knowing that there would be issues with the Premium Names AND me.tv tools?

Maybe a BIG official roll out will come in June or September?

Good questions.
