Anyone else registering 3D domains?

[malcarada]

It seems that 3D is going to be the the next must have technology, according to the big brands, they are all launching 3D TVs.

I attempted to find good 3D names but the best domains are already taken, I think in 5 years time or even less, those generic 3D domains will be worth a lot. :imho:

Anyone else registering 3d domains? Do you think they have a future?

 

[Vito]

Whilst checking my portfolio I found I own the domain below


.com

3dsales

What do you guys think

That is definitely a Rock Solid 3D domain name!

Anything at all that can be sold, Products, Downloads, Advertising, Subscriptions, etc. could easily be Marketed under your domain,
and there is no way to say/write that any shorter or better.

I think you will do very well with that domain.

Best of luck to ya.

 

[shane mac]

Gut feeling? Look at the thread below with all the dropped 3d names. That gives you an idea how dead in the water most are. Some registries made good money though.

(Available 3d domains) thread

Its ok to have missed the boat, but don't try and dampen the thread. Try and have a constructive argument if any at all.

Just when you think this thread could not get any more ridiculous...

I have spent the past 24 hours registering 3D domains. I haven't even gone to bed. This is the break I have been waiting for, and I'll stay up for days if I have to.

Very few times in our lives do amazing oppurtunities spring up. Folks, this is one of them. Those of us intelligent enough to jump on this are going to be living on a beach somewhere in the Caribbean in 5 years.

DO NOT BE FAZED by the "old guard" telling you otherwise. Time is about to pass these dinosaurs by. This right here is what is going to allow a new breed of domainers to take this industry over completely. We are going to send these guys into retirement shortly. They had a good run, but now it's our turn.

Maybe what I said in my last post was too over the top. I should have kept it to myself since not everyone believes in the supernatural. For you, consider my "signs" just a coincidence.

Since my last post I have gotten about 15 more. I wasn't going to register these, but I bit anyway. Even if they are worth just a few hundred each, that is ok.

One last thing, has anyone here ever been so excited during checkout that you actually started shaking? That has been happening a lot when I am getting these. The feeling is great. At one point I even had an erection. I am certain that this is going to work out very well.

 

[domainica]

have u looked at godaddy for 3d names?.. they are getting CRAZY scarce
... i mean, there's still some goodies on the shelf, but just a matter of time before they get bought... THEN ..
well, then...you're talking a simple case of supply and demand.

An unlimited supply is there. You can tell by the amount of crap 3D names being registered.

But as far as demand...not even close. Cuz if there was real demand, we'd see some sales. And as you're one of the biggest pushers of 3d names, well, can you point out again how many sales you've made so far?

I am quite new here, but im already sad that a thread like this turns out into a trollfest for some others. No offense, but cant we keep it to the subject instead of trying to fight eachothers opinions?

Btt..

As far as I can tell this is the business model of most people investing in 3D domains.

1.) Buy lots of 3D domains
2.) ...................
3.) Make lots of money

All they need to do is figure out step 2 and they are set.

Brad

Are we talking about affiliate programs that share a percentage of sales made?
Because there are more possibilities to make money from the better domains. To name 2:

1. Affiliate programs like sony has them, sharing a percentage of each sale, by putting up links promoting them (example: banners/links/promotions for sony's 3d home theaters on a domain called 3d Home Theaters - Best choice in 3d home theater equipment). High end (longtail) keywords with the right seo turns into a percentage of product sales with high ticket prices.

2. Write the big brand companies a nice email they can takeover/lease the domain for their promotions. Or keep the domain, and start blogging reviews for them, in return for products and/or money from selling banners and adspace.

Well I have entered the world of porn just registered bondage3Dtv.com

Good bad ?

sex3dtv.com is going for 75K on Go daddy

Bad. Im sorry froy but pornsurfers wont be typing in those searchterms. And even then, porn sales are pretty much dead due to free porn on the internet. Unless someone really gets excited, but even then there would be better domains in the porn niche. That combination wont cut it, i know from experience

Another thing, that sex3dtv.com is "going" for 75k on godaddy doesnt mean its being sold for that amount. Again i know this from the inside of the porn niches, hardly any domains like this sell for a lot of money atm. Unless its really a ridiculously good domain that gets a peepload of typeins and se traffic (example: freeporn.com)

I'm saving up to setup my tLD .3d and kick all y'all's a$$e$. It's going to monitor the sites to make sure they aren't parked and fulfil the standard web3dhtml protocol.

tld's never made a big impact, because people are used to typein the common tlds. Check out a lot of the bigger mobile sites. They are .com most of the time, and not .mobi. Only thing that would change/shift things is when google starts valuating .mobi or other .whatevers for having related content. (example: rank a mobile site higher when its on a .mobi domain then when its on a .com domain).

I personally think..in most cases, the "3D" fits better at the front of the keyword, 3DTravel, rather than Travel3D, if you check, you willl see some people say they prefer the 3D after the keyword, only because the 3DKeyword.com was registered years before.

I also disagree with, I can remember who said it, it may have been froy, apologies if it wasnt mate, but thye said Sports3D is better than Sport3D, I think the singular looks/sounds much nicer, happy for anyone to agree/disagree. The "s" followed by the "th" doesnt roll of the tongue IMO

I sometimes begin to wonder if domainers have any experience on seo. No offense and no personal attack on you there btw.

The most important factor IN a domain is how it is searched related to the domain name (leaving away the other important factors like linkbuilding etc because this is a domainers forum). Example: When a surfer wants to buy a 3d home theater, what will he be typing in google? Home theater 3d, or 3d home theater(s)? If you are targetting a large part of the world it means you will be better off with a domain starting with 3d because that is how the biggest part of the world will be searching it.

Sports3d or sport3d is a delicate theory. But in my experiences it doesnt matter to much and in some cases the sportS will have the advantage because it will have a change to rank for sport and sports when searched (sport is in sport and sports - sportS isnt in sport). So with some good seo you should be able to pull out a slight advantage allthough it also depends on how people search for it again.

Although im pretty sure and positive about what good keyworded 3d domains can sell for in the near future, and how much traffic (read: revenue) a good keyworded 3d domain can get, im also a bit amazed about the crazy names some keep registering.

No offense, but you have to take in account what people will be "searching". I have seen a LOT of domains passing by in this thread that absolutely make no sense, at all.

If you want to gamble, and hope for some company sometime trying to catch their brandname or nichename with 3d in it to develop, sure do. But if you want to base your "claim" just on sticking a "3d" tag with every dictionairy word that exists i dont think you are getting it right.

3dcatcollars.com isnt going to be searched much just to give you an example, and unless some big ass company is going to want JUST that domain its a long shot.

Make sure your domain makes sense, its 3d, make it all 3d related.

It would even be better to go for the longtail keyworded domains then for 3d domains with products/tags in them that are not related at all.

Buy3dprojectors.com or 3dbeamershop.com, will look like its way to long, but with the right seo on it, THATS what people will be typing in their searchengines. Put an affiliate program on it, or sell it later on but i think you will have a way higher change of a good ROI then 3dcookingstove.com.

Had a good idea..

I guess everyones to busy fighting eachother then noticing this post, but it would be a good idea if we started doing that.

you have fully understood the 3d concept and should pfofit from it , i noticed 3daffiliate/com is gone , can you supply a link to the sony affiliate program ?

Their program is with consumption junction (cj.com). You can find more info on the sony affiliate program here: Detail Article | With Modules A

There are a lot more highend brands/companies having affiliate programs like this. All you have to do is pick the best ones related to your domain. You wont get a daily sale, but estimating a price on a 3d home theater set being around $3000, even 3-4% affiliate fee and 1 sale a week would be more then nice or?

Carry on Hope i didnt offend anyone with my post.

Yeah, you only have mentioned it about 5-6 times now.Brad

This thread is a disgrace to NP.

I have never read so much BS in one thread EVER.

One guy shouting his mouth off all over the show smoking his crack pipe - with a big fat zero value for a portfolio that he will sell for millions, one guy claiming in huge font that he "just got offered $42,000 for a 3d he regged probably yesterday but of course is turning down the offer, then you have more "first time posters" or "second posters" joining this thread than anything I have ever seen to date.

Then you have another guy with two posts who has been "domaining for 15 years" and in all that time never posted once on NP until this 3D thread.

This is my last post here - what a total crock of shxx

It's like the same with .tel and .asia threads.

1. New people come in, register a whole bunch names (.tel, .asia, 3D), and talk about how the new hype is the best thing since sliced bread.

2. Domain experts share their opinion (negative) about the names

3. .tel, .asia, 3D investors call them a critic and hater (who are secretly trying to lower the value of the domains so that they can purchase the name themselves)

4. It does not end well

You'll see the same pattern repeating over and over with new hypes.

The first two guys you just have to take at face value. You know...I know....as well as every seasoned domainer here knows the probabilities of most of these 3d domain names selling for a good ROI if at all. Let these guys have their opinions as long as they don't break the rules.

As for the "1st and 2nd" time posters it is our obligation to lead them in the best direction through our debate and that is about all we can do for them.

As for the 4th guy who has been domaining for 15 years and just started posting.....how dare he. Seriously.... don't let these people turn you inside out. It's not worth it. There is much to learn in this thread regardless of the naievity of a few. It seems now that this thread is more on track with what it's purpose should be. Minus the pumping of course. :notme:

I tried to show with my 2 recent (first time) 3D "hand registrations" (3drecycling.com and 3damusements.com) that people are not really doing the research when they go and register non-meaningful 3-5+ word 3d domain names. Granted, mine do not fit the most ideal mold for a likelier future sale like the great ones registered already but if one slows down and keeps some sense they raise the odds of finding the best of the rest.

Please don't take offense everyone but thanks for coming down to earth a little and keeping with the subject and keeping the faith. This is a great 3d domain thread and discussion. Just try not to post your 3d names for sale in this thread is all.:tu:

I love it...a ten year old thread still going!

malcarada, Feb 15, 2010

At one time I had sooooooo many 3D names. Only sold a few of the very best...bummer, now I am thinking of all the .mobi names I once owned...domaining is quite a journey.

The good ones seem to be selling in the aftermarket or are being held onto.

Hand regging is almost an exercise in futlility.

I think the term has to be intuitive and be connected with an actual technology, not just any old term hooked onto "3d."

It's really hard to say at this point. Another term could emerge, like holoTv (already regged--not by me)or something similar.

It might be worth a small investment, but, in my opinion, registering 100's of random 3d domains would be a mistake.

And nothing but dotcoms.

Anyone else registering 3d domains? Do you think they have a future?

Careful, these latest technology trend names rarely do well in reality. Have a look at how many 3g or voip names have sold over the years, despite the success of these technologies, it isn't many.

 

[DN BROKER]

im selling 3D names, just search my posts!

 

[malcarada]

After reading Ms Domainer post it just occurred me to go to Sedo and type "3D".

These are the best results I got:

3-d.com Price 60,000 $US Bids : 11

3d.cd Price 1,000 EUR Bids : 1

television3d.es Price 1,600 EUR Bids : 1

3dgaming.net Price 160 $US Bids : 2


PS: I think I did not understand how Sedo works, maybe the price listed is not the same as the price the bidder is offering for the domain?

For example 3-d.com at $60k and 11 bidders, does it mean they have reached the asking price?

I have to agree with MsDomainer,

Hand regging is almost an exercise in futlility.

I did find a few adult 3d's that I liked though. Two or three of these might even end up being VERY good!

 

[exsedo]

I regged a few 3D names but I passed over quite a few that have since been snapped up.
Just hoping I chose the right ones :lol:

 

[DubDubDubDot]

The secret is registering a combo of Michael Jackson, iPad, w-o-r-d and 3D. Get all of that in one domain and it's a slam dunk.

 

[exsedo]

" Hand regging is almost an exercise in futlility. "

With emerging technologies / niches, I would have to disagree with this, but anything established is almost certainly well covered.
