.IM Discussion

[gilescoley]

I have seen quite a few registered lately, has anyone got any comments on these names. What if there was a good keyword name, is it worth grabbing.


I believe its the Isle Of Man, but are people possibly going to use the "Instant Messaging" acronym for these domains??


Thanks for any advice??

What is the current going price for CVC.im? I have come perfect dictionary words, that are very, very common..

Not sure what's the current value of CVC.IM domains. It all depends on the need of buyer.

If you have some recent experience of selling these kinda domains?

And where to buy these buyers? NP doesn't seem active towards .im domains..

I have sold SEO.IM (which isn't CVC.IM) for US$4,000 and own a couple Dog.IM and Toy.IM. To sell an .IM domain is very difficult as people are not aware what .IM is and we need to explain them and make them understand properly before they decide anything further.

If you have very strong keyword in .IM than only you may hold and see how it goes. Most of my .IM domains get decent traffic which is quite amazing but very few inquiries in total.

Well, I just picked up pal dot im which works perfectly w/ the 'instant messaging' paradigm for reg fee, it's a cvc dictionary word, so not exactly a rare breed.

The keyword has value, not the format and the extension only brings that value down when compared to others.

I've turned down $xxx offers on mart.im, pen.im, resume.im, romance.im and training.im = with keywords as strong as these, $x,xxx doesn't seem unachievable - if not immediately.

I failed to sell Air dor im so far directly, no inquires received, not even for xxx$. We'll just have to wait.

I don't recommend mass registration of .im domain even if its LLL word. The extension needs promotion and big sales to count.

Just regged my first and only .im name.

I feel first names may do well in the future with the extension.

Sit and wait....

The best way to find end users for your .IM domain is to search through Google.

Let's say you want to sell Themes.IM - Simply type in themes and all the relevant combinations with the word themes and contact each website owner either through the contact form or whois their email addresses.

Make sure of one thing that it's very difficult to sell .IM domains and you must have very strong keyword.

Hey, before June I wasnt aware that this extension exist. But than the promotion of Dynadot came out. I just bought famous.im and florist.im. A couple of great keywords still available.

 

[victorsogo]

I HAVE

Redwine.im

what about that? any value?

 

[decades80]

Sorry but as I see it, more value is in personal meaning like professions or adjectives. But I could be wrong. Anyway, count few more years at minimum for the extension getting some recognition.

...for what it's worth department...

Two of my .IM names, Brandy and Beijing...

I put brandy on VooDoo and from 7/26 to 8/27 got 39 visitors and 58 cents...I dunno, but not too bad for this extension.

I made a simple Wordpress site with Beijing on August 3rd and so far have 127 visitors with 72 emanating from China and 46 from the USA...

I gotta feeling if I knew what I was doing I could get more visitors for Beijing, but I just do not have the time to putz with it, but I am happy it gets this much attention.

Brandy gets some every day it looks like. Wonder how it would be if it was a bona fide site...

 

[opalxx]

I've got:-
dvd dot im no interest at all and
herb dot im which is forwarded to a herbal cure for skincancer blog and i will probably use it later.

 

[tetsuo_it]

nature.im
ecology.im
trendy.im
flying.im
maria.im

I'm sorry to say that I've never received ANY offer for these. Truth is that I stopped promoting them after the first month, they're on Sedo and here (make offer secion).
Plus, I made a small website of maria.im (most used feminine name in the world). No results.

 

[decades80]

Dont give up! I guess no big sales in the next 10 years will occur. BUT the good thing about those premium words is, they are interesting for "small" developers. So why would you pay XXX K USD for .com or XX K USD for other TLDs, when you can have good catchy keyword domain for high XXX. I guess no TLD extension can beat that.

 

[the_poet]

Officially joined the club with my first .IM - WebDesign.IM

Open to your opinions

Marketplace TLD over saturation already. However for a small price I guess a High keyword may yield at least your initial return if not higher.
