information .LINK binge progress

[ThatNameGuy]

Sorry to have to start another thread regarding .LINK, but i wasn't able to answer questions "if" there was a "link" of any kind in the text of the post/message I was responding to.

I was able to hand register slightly more than a thousand names with about 20 of them being "Premium" names that sold for $116 each, and one that I purchased for $478, the corresponding .com is valued at $8,800,000.

Since a host of individuals have confirmed that, ".LINK is no worse than .XYZ", I just knew .link was a good alternative to .com and a good rival for .xyz

Curious anyone? Lets have some fun

Also when you have to put parts of a domain name in bold it also bothers me.

What do you mean? People love non-intuitive brands! They're super accessible and desirable.

We can all hash it out in the new user group which is definitely being created. When Rich says he's going to do something, he does it! No false starts here, just 100% pure follow-through.

Thanks Joe.....Nursing.link is being considered by one of our local medical schools, EVMS. You may recall i use to be in the medical billing business and the "users group" for Acsel was one of the keys to our success. Do you know how many nursing schools and nurses there are in the world?....how about just Canada? btw, are you aware how much DAN.com is asking for Nursing.xyz? I know you won't check it out, but it's pretty damn important if you're to play in my game

I want to be positive but I'm struggling to cut through the guff.

Nursing.link is a good name for a nursing school...... Probably. If they have a use for it. Are they likely to pay top dollar for something like this if they are a school? I thought schools were pretty conservative with their budgets so that they could maximise the teaching aspect.

Nursing.xyz price is of no relevance to this, it is a private individual who we know prices their domains high.

Thanks for the feedback....not sure what you mean buy: "Nursing.link is a good name for a nursing school"? And i'm not sure what you mean by "top dollar"? Keep in mind i paid just $116 for it so top dollar to me would be around 15K, however if it were to be used for a nurse registry, it could bring a whole lot more. Come to think of it, i may buy NurseRegistry.link if it's available.

Finally, in all due respect I'm not looking to sell any of my domains to another domainer, so i really don't need to impress you thank God

fyi. upon registering Tossup.link, i was led to register TossupSports.com.......see how much fun I'm havingAny idea who might want TossUpSports? Thanks again!

 

[MadAboutDomains]

Thanks for the feedback....not sure what you mean buy: "Nursing.link is a good name for a nursing school"?

You said a medical school was interested in nursing.link...

 

[ThatNameGuy]

You said a medical school was interested in nursing.link...

Yes i did, but i misunderstood you. I thought when you said Nursing.link was a good name for a nursing school I took you literally...sorry. That said however, there are a lot of different potential uses for Nursing.link, and the one i mentioned for a "nurse registry" makes sense. I happen to own a few more medical related domains like Surgery.link and Cardiology.link that i need to get in front of surgeons and cardiologists who happen to have more money than God.....some of them even think they're God

Anyway, thanks again.

Do you know how many nursing schools and nurses there are in the world?....how about just Canada?

In Canada? A lot less than there used to be!

I know you won't check it out, but it's pretty damn important if you're to play in my game

The game of a multi-national, rain-making domain tycoon? That's but a pipe dream for me, Rich.

No... my meagre skills and paltry imagination have condemned me to a life of mediocrity that carries over into my domaining career. Alas, I must settle for but a few sales per year, and nary an opportunity to change the domain industry for the betterment of mankind. I leave that to the doers... the dreamers... dare I say, the Domain Heroes (TM, patent pending, all rights reserved).

Speaking of that @ThatNameGuy, how is your lawsuit going? I forgot who you were suing was it Verisign, GoDaddy, and/or some other party?

I have been staying tuned, much to your chagrin, but surprisingly have not seen any updates about it.

As Joe pointed out, you are well known to follow-through so I must have just missed it.

Please give us an update!

Brad....are you talking about the class action SuetheBastards.com filing? It's against the crooks at Go Daddy, and my good buddy John Berryhill should be able to help you out.

He could use tossup.link to decide who to sue first...

Good one "MAD"....i'm sure you realize MAD is the acronym for MadAboutDomains, but not everyone does. Maybe you can help answer a question for me that I posed elsewhere but never got an answer;

"a local company from my area trades as Homes.com, and if you search "homes" on Google it comes first. Now here's my question, if you search "birthday" it's not until about the 4th page that a domain shows up with the keyword "birthday" and that's BirthdayMessages.net. So where am i going with this?......i happen to own the domain Birthday.xxxx that I'm looking to either develop or sell. So if I were to develop it whereby it could create considerable traffic, might it come up first on Google? Serious question seeking only serious replies. Note that Birthday.com doesn't show up because it's NOT developed, and it's only just "for sale"."

 

[MadAboutDomains]

might it come up first on Google?

Good question. The only thing that determines whether or not it appears at the top of Google for "birthday" is if it is likely to be the most useful result for a user who types it in.

If it isn't, then it won't.

So you need to ask yourself the question... Is someone who types "birthday" actually looking for my website, or not?

I could have flobbadobbabingbong.com and it could be the most useful birthday site based on the content it provides. It's not the name that counts.

Ps. I'm glad that you noticed that mad is an acronym of mad about domains

Thanks MAD....this is the sort of info needed to get top dollar for domains like Birthday.link.The one thing we do know is they don't sell themselves and I'm just waiting on the right compliment/partner to help BlowUp.link

 

[bmugford]

Brad....are you talking about the class action SuetheBastards.com filing? It's against the crooks at Go Daddy, and my good buddy John Berryhill should be able to help you out.

Excellent! Can you go ahead and provide the court it was filed in and case number so I can look it up?

I can only stay tuned for so long. I am curious to know the status of such a monumental, industry changing lawsuit.

Brad

 

[MadAboutDomains]

Interestingly I like birthday.link... It gives me Jibjab vibes

 

[Joe N]

So if I were to develop it whereby it could create considerable traffic, might it come up first on Google?

And if I were to develop a birthday retail store, whereby it could generate considerable customers, might it become the best birthday store in the world?

NUNYA Brad......

• A Private Settlement Agreement is a contract made between two parties agreeing on a settlement. These agreements are settlements that avoid the parties having to go to court to have their differences settled. Purpose A Private Settlement Agreement is made by one party to another party.

Now back on .LINK topic.....were you aware I was in the medical billing business in the past? As such, i was able to register domains like; Surgery.link, Cardiology.link, Optician.link, etc. If you weren't aware Brad, there's a lot of money in healthcare. There's a cardiologist in my neighborhood who makes over a million dollars a year, and there are thousands just like him/her all over the world. I'm curious Brad, how much do you think Cardiology.link is worth considering Cardiology.com is for sale for over a million dollars?

Finally Brad.....thanks for keeping me in your head where I know i have a home

 

[ThatNameGuy]

Thanks MAD....i didn't know what you meant by jibjab vibes so I Googled Jib Jab, and Voila! Anyway, i have this feeling we might work well together....two heads are always better than one, or at least it's a TossUp™. PM me if you're interested in having fun

 

[ThatNameGuy]

And if I were to develop a birthday retail store, whereby it could generate considerable customers, might it become the best birthday store in the world?

Sure....why not A friend of mine Macon Brock founded DollarTree.com 30 years ago Joe.....suggested reading for you Joe; "One Buck at a Time". Unfortunately Macon died a few years ago, but not before taking his single store operation in 1989, to 16,077 stores, with 193,000 employees and grossing 25 Billion Dollars today.

Joe....i'm sure you think I didn't really know Macon just like I'm sure you won't believe I own Dollar.link

Please get a life Joe......your head has to be killing you.

Lawsuits are filed. There are public records, even if they are settled.

I am disappointed there are no records of a lawsuit.

If just feels bad to know this might be the first time the legendary Bulloney did not follow-through with his stated plan.

You missed the point. They key there is that you have to actually develop the site and do a ton of work to get the site traffic (or pay someone to do it, most likely).

 

[ThatNameGuy]

I didn't miss the point Joe.....so you don't think someone/anyone who understands the "dollar store" business model is capable of developing an "online" site selling product for a dollar they pay just .25 to .30 cents for?

Joe....i'm sure you're not the guy to do it, but someone like Macon Brock who was labeled the Sam Walton of the dollar world certainly could. btw, here are a few more .link domains I just picked up for $2;

DollarDeal(s).link - pretty catchy, huh

DollarWine.link - Oh....did i tell you about "dollar wine" Joe?

You did miss the point. You're here promoting .link names and arguing that you could make a .link site #1 in a relevant Google search if you throw enough money at it. Well anyone can do that with any domain name, and it has no bearing on the quality or desirability of the extension.

What is relevant is that no one is throwing that kind of money behind .link names, because they are an inferior choice. If you have that kind of money, you buy a .com, or maybe settle for a ccTLD.

What you're doing here, Rich, is gambling. There's no savvy involved, no matter how much you name-drop. Maybe you'll win the lottery like a few .xyz investors did, but even if you do you'll have all these dead weight two word names that cost two dollars precisely because that's all people are willing to pay for them.

I'm not down on .link or anything. As far as new extensions go, it's fine. I just think it's ridiculous to pump its tires to this degree and talk in circles about projects that will never get off the ground.

 

[MadAboutDomains]

I'm curious Brad, how much do you think Cardiology.link is worth considering Cardiology.com is for sale for over a million dollars?

One does not have any influence the other.

My future domain purchase bobbadingdongflubbawubba.com will be for sale for 100 million billion dollars if you want it, doesn't make the equivalent .link worth the same, or not.

about .LINK; "they are an inferior choice".....that's your OPINION Joe, and you know what they say about opinions You and i both know, or should know, that Dollar.com leads to "Dollar Rent a Car", NOT an online Dollar store as i proposed.

Dollar.link could just as easily lead to the website for "Dollar Rent a Car" making them equal conduits to the same destination. To draw a comparison, my gas powered car can take me safely to the same destination as your electric car Joe.

Finally Joe, i'm not looking to sell you any of my domains, nor would i waste my time
