discuss “I don’t buy from domainers on principle”

Anyone that sees how much companies spend on IT would know that five figures is no big deal if a company perceives the need for something. The issue is that within organizations there is little distinction between a newbie quality domain and the type of domain that investors would aggressively...

discuss So are you INVESTING in domain names or just flipping them?

It is more likely that over a multi-year timeframe an end user will come along an be interested in a particular name. However, one does need to price realistically and ensure that the names one is renewing cannot be easily replaced with reg fee alternatives. Otherwise, why pay a premium...

strategy My custom domain portfolio brand

With HugeWeb one potential strategy you could test is to run Adword campaigns when someone searches in Google or Bing for "Huge Domains". Obviously no guarantee it will generate sales.

discuss Is it advisable to register City+parks/king domain name

Don't waste your money on this concept. Some cities use a .Net or .Org or .gov domain but any park into would be on their website. Why would they buy another domain just to provide info on local parks? They could also create a Facebbok page or YouTube channel with content related to city...

discuss YouTube channels and their domains are selling for millions

This is a content sale though it might still bring some publicity to the domain space. The value of the domain itself is negative. If Enchufe.TV had been registered when they were looking for an available name, they would have chosen another keyword. Is it not kind of strange that a comedy...

discuss If a domain drops you formerly sold for $xXxX what do you do?

In 2010 I sold a domain for $xxxx. While it is a one-word domain, I never fully understood why this investor was willing to pay that much for that domain (without negotiation) when I had so many other .TV domains which I felt were of comparable or better quality. I do see sales at Namebio with...

question Potential buyer is claiming that can't afford

If your potential buyer is an individual, then $3000 may be out of their reach for a diomain. If they are a mom and pop business, offering a payment plan could help facilitate a transaction. However, most businesses can easily handle a low $xXxX cost. I have seen a division of a company...

question How do you create a perceived need among Geo buyers?

Exact match domains still get preferential ranking treatment by Yahoo and Bing. So with a relatively simple site one could probably rank in the first couple pages. Search traffic is dominated by Google but a page one ranking in a search engine would at least be a selling point. If they ask...
