Is .TV Still a Valuable Extension?

The .TV extension has attracted attention from end users and investors alike thanks to the adoption of the Tuvalu extension by many popular Internet brands and video sites. This year, we've seen sales such as 365.tv for $60,000 and Experience.tv for $35,000.

In this discussion, an investor has asked whether .TV still has potential value, with this domainer contemplating acquiring a keyword .TV domain name. Do you invest in .TV?

How Committed Are You?

As we established in last week's Top Topics, domainers often need some kind of motivation to continue their domaining careers. This week, a domainer has asked the community a simple question: How committed to the domain industry are you?

How Not To Bid on DropCatch

Domain drop catching service DropCatch is a popular destination amongst domainers thanks to their ability to catch some of the best expiring domain names. Recently, the domain name Lumeo.com went to auction at DropCatch, eventually selling for $14,072.

However, the winning bidder may have made a mistake by revealing their identity within their username. It seems that lighting-as-a-service provider Lumeo, currently operating on GoLumeo.com, purchased the name. We know this thanks to the bidder's username, "GoLumeo".

This knowledge may have prompted more domain investors to pursue the domain at auction, knowing that at least one company was actively pursuing the domain.

Domaining For a Living

How easy is it to be a domain investor full time? In most cases, domain investing is a part-time venture. For some, income from domaining is enough to warrant a full-time occupation.

So, is it viable to be a full-time domainer? Many investors have shared their own experiences of why they are or are not a full-time domainer.

Does Age Really Matter?

In many domain name sales reports, a domain's age is often mentioned, but does it really matter? If a domain name was registered in 1995 but has spent the majority of its existence redirecting to a parked page, is the domain's age really a selling point?

These questions have sparked an interesting discussion with many investors giving their own opinions on the merits of age when it comes to domain names.
