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

Rich, much to your chagrin, .horse is no worse than .link.

Have you heard about horses Rich? It's a multi-billion dollar industry, mon frere.

When end users find out about .horse, .link (and .com) is dead in the water. Time for another binge-buying spree Rich?

Tell me Doc....ever hear of a friend of mine Dr. Ron Dozoretz aka Dr D? Ron was founder of Value Options and former Chariman of Genomind.....unfortunately Ron's no longer with us, but he left a lasting impression on me, and it has zero to do with horses. Thanks Doc....i was wondering when you were going to show up

My TCRtherapy name is extremely speculative as well, but i see where you're asking $150,000 for yours @ DAN. As you may recall I'm pretty well connected to the medical services industry, and in particular psychiatric health.

So I'm sure you're aware of the amount of money that's being invested into this developing treatment. It's a bit of a moon shot for me (and honestly, probably even a bit of a miss from a commercial use standpoint), but the price is a reflection of my own patience as much as it is of potential value.

You said, "Your opinion is that when end users are properly educated, they will prefer .link over .com for cheaper (albeit still inflated) prices." That's a LIE Joe and you know it....i said that .link is a "viable alternative" to .com for a variety of reasons.

All domain extensions are "viable alternatives" to .com. But that's not a reason to pay more than reg fee for them.

Was that your doctor at the psychiatric ward, Rich? LOL.

Richard, the only reason I'm visiting your endless threads of yet another new TLD you've "discovered" is to get a good laugh. Unfortunately, it's at your expense Mon Frere.

Ever hear of how a good laugh can make you live longer Rich? I believe MakeYouLiveLonger.horse is still available. Remember? .horse is no worse than .link.

Joe....your arguments are getting weaker and weaker. How is an end user going to buy the best viable alternative at reg fee if I own it? Take Nursing.link for example whereby Nursing.com has at best a so so website behind it and it's NOT for sale. Nursing.link is one of several viable alternatives that are already registered, however none are available at "reg fee". Now i suppose an "end user" could purchase Nursing.xyz for $149,888 at DAN, then again the same "end user" could probably negotiate a little better deal with me for Nursing.link. After all Joe, you've already agreed that .LINK is no worse than .XYZ.

Again, you've failed to comment about "Link in Bio".......suggest you check out my friends at WOW.link and let me know what you think. Seriously, anyone else following this thread should check out WOW.link if you want to get a feel for what the future holds for .LINK.

So a nurse would go to nursing dot link and get a nursing job? Curious what a nurse would do at this site.

Another Doctor friend Dr. Talreja wrote a paper titled, "Laughter is like a Mini Vacation"....so keep reading Doc, you might accidentally learn something

Any number of things Beezy.....you might go to the site to find a nurse close by, or anywhere in the world. You might go to the site to find a multilingual nurse, or a nurse who specializes in lactation. The possibilities are endless Important to note;

"There are 27.9 million nurses around the world, an increase of 4.7 million between 2013 and 2018. Over 80% of those nurses are found in countries that account for half of the world’s population."

 

[Beezy]

Nursing.horse is available at reg fee, and since .horse is no worse than .link, there's no reason to buy expensively from TheLameGuy.

Horse is worse because you're going to be hard-pressed to find many right of the dot combos that work with it.

But calling .link useful at this point is a stretch.

If only there were some existing site where you could search for things and generate relevant results... Maybe one day. But until then, I guess having a site dedicated searching for nurses probably is a great idea.

If you want to really crunch the numbers on this, I'm game. What did you pay to acquire nursing.link? And what would you expect/hope to sell it for?

These details are important since the keyword "nursing" is still available in many other gTLDs, such as .site, .direct, .best, .shop... Some of these are premium registrations, though, so to get a sense whether or not nursing.link is a good investment for you, we need to know what an end user can expect to pay for it compared one of the many other viable alternatives. And also what profit you stand to make from the sale.

 

[bmugford]

I feel like you could just write Bulloney's posts with an AI script at this point.

Start with a little name dropping.

Mix in how you are so great with some accomplishments from decades ago, all of which are irrelevant to domain investing.

Throw in a few catch phrases like "Stay tuned. ", or "much to your chagrin", "Au Contriare Mon Frere", ".link is no worse than .com", etc.

Then you are all set.

[bmugford]

What's incomprehensible to me is that after 5 years doing this, you still haven't figured out why .com sells more volume for higher prices, and why only premium (usually short, single-word) terms have any value in new TLD extensions.

Same here.

It is like Quantum Leap, but with domain extensions. Jumping from extension to extension, hoping the next leap will be the one.

.Online, .Realty, and many others come to mind.

Even if .link becomes popular, it is only going to be high quality single word terms like with .XYZ. No one is going to be lining up to buy marginal terms in secondary extensions.

.Link is far closer to .Horse than it is to .Com.

Yeah.....i paid $116 for it, and it renews annually for $116. As for what we expect to sell it for that depends on what we might consider it's best use. This is where my business experience and background come into play. With there being 27 Million nurses worldwide you might say the world is my oyster btw, one can buy Nursing.site for $640 at Name Silo and it renews for $640 annually. There are some funkier gTLD's you can get a little cheaper like Nursing.golf, but like I said they're funky.

Joe...you can play around with it all you want, but be assured that your and my marketing approach are as different as night and day. Remember, i'm not your typical domainer nor do I care to be

WOW Joe.....both NurseSearch.com and NurseFinder.com are for sale, and you can buy NurseFinder.com from Venture for $315 a month. You gave me a good idea Joe so I just registered NurseSearch.link and NurseFinder.link but I may have paid too much for them at 2 Bucks each.

btw, you've never seen sites where you simply key in your zip code and the site connects you to every nurse within 10K? Joe, i know you knew that

What did you think of WOW.link Brad? I guess you weren't aware that I own about 100 "high quality single word" .link domains...."that's even .link becomes popular"

 

[bmugford]

Sure, high quality single word terms have at least some potential.

DatingNews.xxxx
BuilderNews.xxxx
WeedNews.xxxx
ComputerNews.xxxx
MillennialNews.xxxx
plus 50 more

These types don't. These type of terms are essentially worthless in any extension other than .COM.

GoDaddy has nursing.site for $350 CAD and then $550 annual renewal. So perhaps that's a good one for comparison?

If we assume the industry standard sell-through rate of 2% (max), then ideally you'll want to sell nursing.link for at least $5,000. You'd probably even want to adjust that upward, though, considering the premium renewal and the fact that the standard STR may not apply to ngTLD names (even strong single words), and even more likely not to .link names.

So if you go with, say, $6,000 as your minimum acceptable sales price, what sales pitch are you making to potential buyers who might be considering a name like nursing.site (since even after 10 years, they'll have spent less on the .site name than the .link)?

I usually just type what I'm looking for into Google Maps, which does the same thing and also gives you step-by-step directions with the tap of a button.

Is that your best use case for nursing.link?

First....regardless "industry standard" of a sell-through rate of 2% (max) is a joke just like you asking $150,000 for TCRtherapy.com. This is very similar to Go Daddy attempting to sell me Reservations.online for 500K right after the thieves at GD stole it from me. Also, in case you hadn't noticed, .LINK may have some added value once the new owners unveil their plan to include "Link in Bio". As for the sales pitch to potential buyers, educating "end users" about the greed in the domain industry will be both subtle and motivational.

We also happen to own Chocolate.link while chocolate.com really isn't in play, and

• The global chocolate market size was valued at USD 130.56 billion in 2019 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.6% from 2020 to 2027.

btw, the renewal rate for Chocolate.link is $116 as well.....isn't this FUN Joe.

[Joe N]

I assume that means that your STR has been much higher? Do tell.

As for the sales pitch to potential buyers, educating "end users" about the greed in the domain industry will be both subtle and motivational.

That was your same pitch for your .online names. How are those selling?

btw, the renewal rate for Chocolate.link is $116 as well.....isn't this FUN Joe.

I'm certainly having a good laugh!

 

[Joe N]

joke just like you asking $150,000 for TCRtherapy

I didn't start a thread asking to discuss my names, and your opinion on them is worth about as much as your .link names.

 

[ThatNameGuy]

I didn't start a thread asking to discuss my names, and your opinion on them is worth about as much as your .link names.

so you take offense at my saying asking $150,000 for TCRtherapy is a joke......i'm sorry Joe, but it really is a joke just like Go Daddy trying to sell me a domain they originally sold me (Reservations.online) for $5, then after the thieves took it back they tried to sell it back to me for $500,000.

Now lets get back to Nursing.link Joe. I tend to do a lot of research around domains I own or domains I'm looking to buy. You suggested that Nursing.site would make for a good comparison and I don't disagree. I'm actually considering buying it for reasons you probably won't/can't relate to unless you go to the website TheNursingSite.com. Joe you can't possibly get inside my head, few people can, but I see possibilities most people don't see like there are most likely 20 nurses of all kinds in my neighborhood consisting of 400 homes. Why might this be important?....just think about it

I'd have to care to be offended. If I wanted an opinion, I'd ask a successful domain investor that I respect. Speaking of, you should go check out Brad's AMA thread. You might learn something.

You see lots of possibilities, I'll give you that. We just haven't seen any follow-through.
