.net .NET - The Discussion and Showcase Thread!

Spaceship Spaceship
Watch
Ok, its been a while since I've seen the good 'ol .NET get some decent recognition! :)
...
Let's try to bring this "bad boy" into spotlight as I believe there are still some great names left in this TLD!
...
Anyone still believe in .NET? :)

Hey John! The .net names are a harder sell because they're not nearly as popular as .com. As such, your keywords need to be much stronger. This gives you a much wider base of potential end users, and thus a greater chance that buying a .net will be an upgrade for someone (or at least desirable).

The only one you listed that has some potential is CanoeStore. Ideally, you'd want to find online canoe dealers (something like these guys: http://www.completepaddler.ca/site-content/shipping-info.html), who have an interest in appealing to more than their regional base. Of course, you could try any major outdoors store, and you may get lucky. Just keep your price reasonable.

The others aren't too good. Even in .com they would be iffy. DIYstore could be okay without "the", but finding end users could be tough. And ThreeDprints just doesn't work because people don't write 3D that way. Make sure you don't overthink things when you're buying names. Two word domains will have the most value when they sound great, have commercial appeal, and look the way they should.

And 6india... a Google search didn't reveal much for this one. Does it mean anything? It reminds me of one of the first .com names I registered: Wide3. I look at that one now and think: "Huh???"

What about Numerics in .net? any value?

I hear the only value as of today is 4L(Max).net and of course anything shorter.

But above 4L.net the market has died. Can anyone explain why?

I have 885888.net all those 8's! Sold for $4688 the owner let it expire. I'm wondering now maybe the last owner let it drop because the market for 5L.net and longer tanked.

is this true?

what would 885888.net sell for today?

@Avtar629

I have no idea about numerics myself, .net or otherwise. Same goes for Chips. I bought a few early on and got out quickly when I realized I had no clue what I was doing.

I'm not sure that the market is dead... just ebbs and flows like anything, I would imagine. It's a classic. People recognize it; trust it.

I actually just sold one for mid-high XXX a couple weeks ago. My first big sale! So I'm kind of liking .net at the moment.

If you are selling .net's using SEDO I think (as I was advised) to convert your sales page to most of the top 5 asian languages like Chinese,Japanese,Korean
and others as culturally .net is still seen as an acceptable and even desirable extension in some asian countries.

Ah, good to know.

I'm not relying much on passive sales yet (with the exception of some names I'm trying on BB). My portfolio isn't even close to good enough to have that kind of patience.

I have a few that I'm willing to keep long-term, and the rest I'm either trying to flip or dump without losing too much.

Hi Joe, thanks for the link I will make contact with them and if they like I will give you a commission!
Yeah 6india, its bad my only excuse is im a noob. I had a vision that if somebody in India was into startups then 6india/com and net/org/biz/info/co would be good to lock in their brand.

Funny thing with ThreeDprints/net People are looking.
Before I joined namepros I downloaded my godaddy database and on that there is a WHOIS view count (I dont know how reliable it is but people are actively looking for my whois)
I also have threedprints/com so maybe if they search for the com version they are looking for the net version as well. I also have the .info, but nobody looked at godaddy whois for that info. So ill probably let that go.
But I'll hang on to the com and net version.

it targets asian market with HK so it's good. Asians still find .net acceptable and sometimes better than .com. GL!

many scripts online for $20-$25 for a hotel booking site. add a separate page in it that has an autogenerated wordpress blog using autogenerated RSS feeds (WPRobot.com or something similar like RSSGround.com)

Main page $20 hotel booking script. sub page WP Autogen RSS Feed (Free rss feeds from other HK sites for free fresh content ala "other sites") (Google loves fresh content.)

pay for a GOOD Press Release.

create social media accounts Twitter,Instagram,Google,Facebook, Instagram,Snapchat,Reddit etc etc etc

Finally Sell on Flippa. and repeat.

People use "past sales" as a reference but unless it happened within 2015 and 2016 it's not relevant which is why when most sellers use historical sales they mention the similar niche domain and price it sold but sometimes never the dates of sales like 2000? or 2004?

You want to sell TODAY. so you must use CURRENT sold prices not ancient sold prices.

if you keep your costs down and develop yourself you can make "on average" probably $500-$1000 this domain.


again I'm no expert.

I don't do this myself as I am lazy. but I see people doing this technique.

Maybe not to develop and average or low quality site, it can ruin domain name.

I've seen low quality sites built on good domains selling for top dollar on Flippa. "Head Scratchers" to say the least.

The website is just a placement. something to show the potential buyer the "direction" this domain should go.

if you really don't like.

then why not apply for Affiliate programs for travel sites like Booking.com or Expedia? They have great content. I think they have a method where they can give you a link to "niche" pages. each one geared for Geographic locations that will display available hotels and flights to and from those areas. with a little dev. their content can be made to look like YOUR content. minus their branding.
