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?

James Cameron says you are wrong and that the new 3D must be made in 3D and not done entirely in post-processing.

The title of this is amusing too: "EVEN JAMES CAMERON SAYS 3D CRAZE IS STUPID"

JAMES CAMERON SAYS HOLLYWOOD 3D CRAZE IS STUPID | FilmDrunk: Movie news you can make fun of

Intereting clip.

He is not saying that the whole 3D craze is really stupid.

He is saying that the Filmmakers should create the films in 3D,
and not just create a film, and THEN have the studio's try to then make it 3D.

It sounds like the Studio's all want 3D, but want to create some short-cuts which would lead to inferior 3D viewing.

I have to say, he really set the bar high now.
All 3D movies from here on out, will constantly be compared to the phenomenal Avatar movie.

Fair enough.

I would have to say these have the biggest upside of the list.

cool .. thank you
but let me ask
.. were the other ones i just listed ridiculous for me to spend $7 on? I have a ton of names like that - like i said, those were just a handful of the longer names...i think i did pretty good - very smart buying i thought... barely any dashes - my only dashes happened in the first two days .. after that - not another dash - that would have been bad, huh? haha


* ** BTW .. we're forgetting one MAJOR KEY to this cog who is going to milk this for all it's worth
.. advertisers and marketers will slap a 3d label on ANYTHING this summer.. watch .. and think of me when you're standing online and see 3d Bubblegum or some crazy thing like that
hahah... SOMEthing like that

Thanks Buddy

 

[exsedo]

I posted my domain in the appraisal thread and these are 3 of the comments I received.

1) I don't see how sticking 3D before a random word would create value.

2) Junk.

3) $0.

The domain is 3Dpastimes.com

Dictionary. Pronunciation: \ˈpas-ˌtīm\
Function: noun
Date: 15th century
: something that amuses and serves to make time pass agreeably.

What do you guys in this thread think about it ?

Simply my opinion but I have just looked at the huge list of 3D names on your site and I think you have wasted an awful lot of money.

I have also been known to be wrong, I hope for your sake I am wrong this time. :wave:

 

[MattheP]

1) I don't see how sticking 3D before a random word would create value.

2) Junk.

3) $0.

The domain is 3Dpastimes.com

Agree with 1, 2 and 3. What u planned to do with that domain?

 

[exsedo]

Well, fair enough. You think 3D and pastimes do not fit together ?
Millions of people use their computers every day for entertainment. Some of the pastimes they engage in become viral. Its not all about existing popularity and search metrics. I think this could be turned into a popular site with content related to 3D activities.

Junk ? Very constructive comment. I remember when cookinggames was sold for $350,000 not so long ago. No-one thought that was any good either.

To give a $0 appraisal is fair enough. To me that says that the appraiser would not consider registering that name.

 

[MattheP]

cool .. thank you
but let me ask

Very nice site and great advertising.

About domains - I like couple of them, but I think you wasted money on most of them. For example:

- Trademarks
- HD3D names - HD (talking about cinema/tv) is older technology then 3d. I dont think there will be Low Density 3D. You are just stating obvious. Like Color3Dmovies.
- Adult - animexxx, animeadult etc... "Adult Anime" is called Hentai (more or less).
- Names without sense - DeathNote3D, 3DDoppler, 3DChildBirth?

You have like 250 names - thats $1875 renewal per year. When you sell 2 or 3 better ones, I dont think you'll be able to cover renewal expenses with the rest of your portfolio.

@dubdubdubdot: I agree with dot stop. 3d isn't some fad thats going to fade away.. its going to be here for quite a while and I foresee a good future for anyone who has quality 3d domains like gilescoley. Obviously the really bad names like 3dpleasebuymyname.com won't do well but the same goes with any other type of names not just 3d.

Edit: On another note.. my 3dShowreel.com has had 8 direct type ins the last day and a half. Not a lot but still its keeping at a nice pace. Anyone have any ideas how to develop this? Granted its only minimal traffic but it seems 3d Showreel gets 1,000 global exact searches and I am sure as more and more digital agencies look into using 3d technologies this will increase so perhaps I could take advantage of this small traffic to start a small blog or something?

 

[gilescoley]

Can I just have opinions on putting the 3D in front of the keyword as apposed to after the keyword

Like these..

3DTravel or Travel3D....which is better in your opinion??

3DGame.com or Game3D.com

I guess it depends on the keyword as well

Any suggestion are welcome....thanks

 

[FX]

I like 3dgame and 3dtravel

Like you said it depends on the keyword
ie I would buy Play3d over 3dplay

 

[gilescoley]

Thanks D-K, and what sort of prices would be fair for good names like these

What would people on this board be willing to pay for names like these below..$100....$250....$500...$1000...$2000...$5000?????

No man .. 3d without glasses is RIGHT behind it.. it's imperfect as of today, but the development is already closing in so no - we will not need 3d glasses at all times .. for the next couple of years, yes sir, we will, but BET, they start making some real casual 3d glasses that are not going to be as obtrusive as the ones that will debut.

3d TV without glasses is already here.

3D TV Without Glasses! - Intel Booth, CES 2010
3D TV - Without the 3D Glasses! - CES 2010
CES Samsung Shows 3D LCD Display with no glasses needed
CES 2010 - TCL's 3D TV without the glasses
CES 2010 3D Television without glasses TCL

These TVs use the Monitor as the glasses to give the illusion of 3D without the need for glasses.

Bluray is most definte TM

---------- Post added at 09:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 AM ----------

3D on the internet is going to be very uncommon due to the production involved. The average webmaster -- and even very advanced webmasters -- won't be able to accomplish it, which eliminates literally 99.9% of all end users for 3D site domains. But I guess the pumpers haven't thought about it from that perspective, right?

This isn't something that you go into Photoshop, press a magic button and suddenly your graphics are in 3D. And even if you do convert your site to 3D, the effect will only grow tiresome. Are you going to put your glasses on each time you visit Google to see their logo in 3D? Of course not. The prime beneficiaries will be Flash based sites with a lot of movement that is updated often enough to maintain a wow factor. Again, something that few people can afford to produce.

If few people are producing such sites, how does that relate to the law of supply and demand and the prices that domainers can charge?

I know of one company in Chicago that has an entire staff of about 80 that will produce a 3D website in no time. Yes right now it's expensive but these are 20 year olds who are building these sites. You think there will not be a massive effort to learn how to build such a site? What's you problem ? You think that this world is just going to say fuk it its to hard I quit. No chance they will jump on it and it will reinvent there profession. Lets face it these designers are all out of jobs right now thanks to Wix and other free sites. No way can you build a 3d website with out a pro doing it. I disagree totally with your thinking, Hey every damn movie is going to be in 3D. I can't wait to see Alice In Wonderland did you hear me? A 50 year old man wants to go see Alice In Wonderland WHY? because its in 3D This movie will be bigger than Avartar because kids and Adults will see it. First it wil be 3D sports then 3D games then 3D sex and when everyone sees how massive these industries are getting with revenues LOOK OUT the Game Will Be On.

Appreciate the feedback

... a few points from my end though to even this out

.. trademark names...
... ya know.. i've given up trying to figure out the fear everybody has of a trademarked name... go to google right now and type in bluray, or iphone or android .. and ANY-OTHER company name/product and tell me what you find.... HUNDREDS of pages with those products in the URL... do you really think they are ALL owned by that parent company?.. not a chance... do trademark domains SELL?... ABSOLUTELY!!!

The big 'gray area' in TM names, as i see it, is as long as you're doing the right thing by that company, no one's going to come knocking down your door trying to take your name away or slap a cease and desist on you.... if you're selling their products 'in good will' - they don't care... it's OBVIOUS and practically unstoppable to grab every bluray name out there and shut them all down - let alone - counter-productive, because now, not only are they spending money on lawyers left and right, but no one is selling their products, so as long as you plan on selling 3dBlurayRecorders - and want a superstar name like '3dBlurayRecorders.com' - buy i t - build it - SELL IT!!!... everybody'll be fine, really... thee names are bought and sold continuously and without hesitation or recourse, so i've given up worrying about TM names if you have proper intentions.

The only case that i can think of where the company jumped in out of nowhere and just took someone's names away from somebody just recently happened with apple grabbing 16 names from one guy who had iPhone related domain names and was to try and push Androids... BAD FAITH - TAKEN... everybody is SO AFRAID of TM names while there's really NOTHING to be worried about if you're putting money in their pockets

- - - - - - -

HD3d...
check this link:
full hd 3d lcd - Google Search

what do you see there?...
JVC, LG, Samsung, Panasonic, Acer... etc...
What's next to their names? How are THEY marketing it presently... "FULL HD 3d"
Samll sample size, but FULL HD 3d is already getting 880 hits a month... it's a bit streamlined and the results are obviously not as big as 3d tv, but only 3dtv will be as big as 3d tv .. ya know what i'm saying?

My strategy while buying these names was simple...
(1) - BUY what people are looking and searching for
(2) - BUY the names and phrases that have density
...personally, i think i did pretty good

3D HD - 3,600/month
HD 3D - 1,900/month

Search engines will love you for either one of those - no different - and yes, they're being searched already in these early stages.

- - - - - - -

Names without sense...
not many at all on my list, but you did throw DEATNNOTE3d out there, so i will explain as to not sound like the rest of the crazies jumpin round .. but you can refer to point one when i'm done

... DEATHNOTE, is an ENORMOUS Manga series .. you think Anime, Hentai and Managa are big now - just WAIT til they get their hands on some 3d


3dChildbirth is not the same kind of 3d as i may be marketing, however, there is a market for it - 3d/4d sonograms and such.... but yeah ... i could have probably found something better than this.. there are very few of these, but nice job in locating one of my bad ones, as there are few

- - - - - - -


"When you sell 2 or 3 better ones, I dont think you'll be able to cover renewal expenses with the rest of your portfolio"

..c'mon man .. look at that list again
... if sell myself short and practically GIVE some of those away, you're gonna tell me i don't have TEN $200 names there AT-THE-LEAST? .. my 3rd site is just about finished and i'm actually starting to make like $0.75 a day on all these names already - WITHOUT a makret.. not a TON of money, but if i simply maintained those MEASLY parking stats, it would still knock $230 off the price of renewal
.. my hope and plan is that they generate at the least HALF of what reg fee will be next year AND i'm counting on at least a couple of sales this year - i think next year is the fruits of my labor

- - - - - - -


How's that for an honest-to-goodness rebuttal, huh?
hahah

Njoy!

 

[oldtimer]

everybody is SO AFRAID of TM names while there's really NOTHING to be worried about if you're putting money in their pockets

In that case why not just ask for their permission , and how can you guarantee that the domains that you are parking are not going to show their competitors ads. You might be right that some companies might look the other way if you are selling their products, but how are you supposed to know which ones are flexible like that. Companies are required to do their best to protect their trademark, if they let it get diluted then they will lose any rights that they might have to a certain term.

It’s best to stay away from famous trademarks. IMO

A firm of 80 20-year-olds building 3D websites. That sounds very interesting. I would REALLY like to check their work out. Do you have their name?..... of course you don't.

This is a very common newbie mistake you are making by saying this. It's actually much more serious.

There are a number of rulings against domain owners every single day. There have been 383 cases so far this year at WIPO alone. The complainant wins almost all the time too. Total Number of Cases per Year

This ................... do trademark domains SELL?... ABSOLUTELY!!!

What you said at the start of all this makes all the rest show there is bad faith from the start however you *fluffy up* the reasons for registering and running these names the fact you wish to either earn from them while they are up and running ( I am guessing you would keep profits from the site), or earn from their sales, Is more then enough for these guys to not only take the names from you but sue the arse and spit you out with a very big $ owing.


This is just my opinion btw ..

This is just my opinion btw ..

opinion is cool .. that's fair...and point taken

and no, not a noob thing to say... maybe just a difference in philosophy... if i setup a 3dbluray site and sold 3dblurays, i don't see HOW i'm hurting the company while i'm selling their products putting money in their banks... and yes - i would have every intention of keeping any percentages - i'd be no different than an affiliate marketer,or has google convinced Every Body that affiliate marketing is the devils work?



EstiBot.com - Domain Sales History - Results
everyone of those names were owned by bluray?.. all fairly recent too. We use past sales as guages all day long in this business - but this should just be ignored?


with that said... not so much 'in fear' of TM names, but more for just wanting to avoid the matter, i have focused primarily on non tm names - although - i DID make a few exceptions...
... i also bought PS3 3d Games.com, which i planNED on developing next.


If it's going to be THIS BIG A DEAL, there needs to be an actual law in place then... ICANN and all registrar's should create a database of tm names that are not allowed to be sold... would alleviate ALL OF THIS.

Maybe "blooks" isn't as much of a dog as I thought it was.
