Domainers guide to scamming morons, and how to avoid becoming a victim yourself.

mole · 11-13-2004, 11:27 PM

Here are some things you need to religiously follow, not:

1. Give them half truths : Tell people .COM is good for "type-ins", without telling them the other half of the story. Never, ever, define what "type-ins" really mean. Just say Google.com, for example, has millions of type-ins a day.

2. Magnify with a tainted glass lens : Always remind people that Business.com sold for $7m, but never, ever, say it was just worthless stocks they were referring to. If they are still unconvinced, tell them Men.com recently sold for $1.3m and show them the news articles. However, don't show them this example if your buyer is a prude or has strong religious inclinations.

3. Oversimply the situation (morons love it) : Show them evidence that eBay.com and Google.com are very profitable companies using a .COM, and they can too. Never, ever, bring up the fact that the Internet is a cut-throat environment and that its going to take much much more than just a .COM and wishful thinking. Always wish your buyer Good Luck (you are going to need it)!

Sorry, I can't mention things like .COM PPC click fraud perpetuated by the owners themselves on advise by my lawyers, RJ.

mighty good of you

homebuyer · 11-14-2004, 01:41 AM

Someone had too much coffee today. Dot-Coms sites can benefit from "type-in" traffic. Who among us has never done so when looking for a particular site?

I own refi.biz, and would trade it in a hearbeat for refi.com just because of the type-ins, not to mention the inherent credibility of a dictionary Dot-Com.

One more thing, if you want to ensure that you don't get some of your email then make sure its address ends with something other than a Dot-Com. Go Dot-Coms.

And one more thing, the TLD .ws does not stand for web site. It stands for Western Somalia, I believe, not that it is relevant to this reply. Hey, maybe I had a little too much coffee today, too. Ahahahahahahahahahahahhaah...It's 1:40 am and I am all alone at the office...ahahahahahahahahhahahhahahha...

Absolutely buy, go dotcom, go. This thread is about how to swindle out more money from dotcom buyers by manipulating their stupidity and airy dreams of becoming a millionaire. I wish you Good Luck.

.ws does stand for Western Samoa, however, last night, .ws could have stood for Western Springfield with the amount of coffee I had comsumed. Go Starbucks Doubleshot, except for the $2/per price.

biggie · 11-14-2004, 02:30 PM

i guess if you live in "middle earth" then you gotta have some dirt!

Badger · 11-14-2004, 02:32 PM

Not sure scamming morons is quite the suitable phrase when you refer to 'what in essence is', showing your prospective buyer the features and advantages of owning a dotcom as opposed to.....

Im sure Bill Gates isnt saying "hey, this product (incl packaging) costs us $2 a throw to develop and sell to you morons. Hey knock yourselves out, its up to date, has a clever logo, its just what you need..."

Wait a minute............................

omnia · 11-14-2004, 02:48 PM

I'll stand correcting on this but I'm fairly sure that "Western Samoa" has been called "Samoa" for about the last 5 years or so. Not that this changes the tld .ws in any way. Really a marketing ploy, like .tv et al. "American Samoa" is "east" of Samoa.

Dont you remember the days of how glorious it all seemed and fun exciting { one first kiss ones first love} adventurius the lastest news the new stories the latest sales,,,,
The more knowlegdable one gets the less magical it all seems,{politics of the intelectual mind} pretty soon synicalism sets in and then strange mutterings to ones one self, and then a glass prison walls { a soul capture by the cruelity of this world.}
if one looks enough its every in your family, at the job , scamming for the buck , hay
were not interested in the oil we want to free people.... um buy this car its number 1....take alook at the the Tv,{what games children are playing } what souls are being murdered and i will tell you this domain business is childsplay

I thought knowledgeable had three e's in it, and the "dg" too. Just trying to appear knowledgeable.
