BREAKING | .top topped .xyz



this is a historical breaking news.
We knowww that 'top' means 'top'. Therefore, the TLD .top can not be topped in it's meaning by anyyy other TLD.

But nowww & todayyy, according to the website http://www.namestat.org the TLD .top topped the TLD .xyz also by it's number of registrations:

.top | 2,615,724 domains registered
.xyz | 2,579,162 domains registered

So nowww the TLD .top currentlyyy has 36,562 domains more registered than the TLD .xyz


Here is a today's screenshot (marked) of the mentioned website which shows these numbers:

As I 'predicted' in past - and as we can seee nowww - the TLD .top is nowww the most registered newww TLD of all newww TLDs.

But I am sure, that this is still just the beginning - because the TLD .top will also top the TLD .com in it's number of registrations one dayyy like it has topped .com in it's meaning since it's first dayyy

What do you think???
How long it will need until .top will top the TLD .com also by it's registration numbers???
You are wwwelcome to share your viewww

All the best with your invest,
KINGOF.TOP

.xyz is at the absolute end of the alphabet therefore everything has to top .xyz

.xyz is special because it sits at the end

If you want to be the last domainer standing you need to own a .xyz :xf.laugh::ROFL::xf.laugh::ROFL::xf.laugh::ROFL:

True, it's special because it is at the end - but it doesn't help, the end is not the top.
Some prefer the "last TLD", others prefer the "highest TLD".

There have been ten reported aftermarket sales of .top names since December 30, 2016. Ten!! In 15 months!!

https://namebio.com/?s==ETO0QjN2YTM

Registrations mean nothing without aftermarket sales. I would stay very far away from this extension with all but absolutely premium keywords.

top ten yeahhh

We can assume that namebio(.com) knows only a few of all global sales, most sales get not / never published, so this is not a measure for me.

The early b̶̶i̶̶r̶̶d̶(̶s̶) domainers catches the w̶̶o̶̶r̶̶m̶(̶s̶) domain(s), I own many .top domains (even non - english) which are getting 1,000+ visits per month in the meanwhile.

Many sales are not reported in every extension.
However, low reported sales = low overall sales.

Good point. So .xyz must have low reported sales on Namebio as well. Oh wait... There are almost 70 sales in the same time period...

https://namebio.com/?s==YzNxUjN2YTM

Even .online has 18 reported!

My guess is that you're referring to your 63 character domains. No doubt you promote them well... But how many sales have those visits translated into?

True, but not a reason to not invest - because it's .top and this fact makes it attractive in many languages.

This has indirectly to do with .xyz's past "1 million / 1 cent promo" and the generally more advertising from .xyz in western world than .top did. And of course with the Alphabet (Google) - deal.
All this was not the case in case of .top and still they topped .xyz again nowww

No, in this case I am referring to "normal" one word .top - domains, the "highest domains (choosen 63 character domains)" are a complete other chapter.

Regarding sales, let me put it this way: I see myself still at the beginning of my .top - carrer.

We all knowww it, patience is the keyyy

If you look at Namestat they show 5, although only 2 (or 3) for significant amounts. But your point is well taken.

https://namestat.org/party

Would be interesting to know how many low value sales each of the ngTLDs really have. For example, I sold 100% of my .party holdings! :-D (yes all 1 of it) but it does not show up since it is so low. But still made profit on my costs.

Well... if you're making money from .top registrations then I could see why you would be happy. But that's not "topping" anything if you're a domain investor. You should be focusing on aftermarket sales, which are abysmal. Even compared to decent alternatives like .io and .co, your preferred extension has a looooooong way to go. And those two extensions still only sell, what... less than 5% of what .com sells in the aftermarket?

Patience is an understatement where .top is concerned. How long were .io and .co around before they became respectable extensions? And by respectable, I mean that the average domainer who knew what they were doing with those extensions was experiencing a reasonable number of sales.

I think it's nice that you have blind faith in .top... It just doesn't make for a worthwhile discussion. I'm looking forward to the day when you create a thread with some hard facts and real analysis to back up your unwavering belief in this very mediocre extension. It's all well and good to tell us how many of these things have been registered, but I want to know how that is going to translate into sales. That's why we're all here.

You seem like a creative guy, which is cool. I'd like for you to succeed. But you're not going to do it with .top.

You should train your patience if you want to become a .top - domainer and it seems you want to become one.

It is still unsupported by GoDaddy/Afternic even to register...
So don't expect any regular sales... They are impossible apriori.

Patience is a wonderful attribute, but only in the right context.

Do you play poker? I love poker. One of the first things you learn as a beginner is to be selective about the cards you play, because the best cards give you the best odds of winning a hand. If I applied your philosophy to my poker games, I would play every hand and "patiently" wait to hit it big. Many beginner poker players do this... now and then they hit it big on a few hands, and might even be lucky enough to walk home a winner. But it's just that: luck. Most of those people walk out broke.

By investing heavily in .top, you're being that person at the poker table... The patient person... waiting for your low-odds, heavily unfavored hand to luck out and hit it big and then walk out with your head held high like you knew what you were doing. And you're doing it based on nothing but blind hope and faith.

Give yourself a chance at success. Start being more selective. Look at what the odds and stats are telling you. Stop playing bad cards.

Patience only works when you have something people want.

I don't playyy poker (never played), I playyy .top - domaining and I am patient because I own domain (rich) people (will) want - but I am active in rejecting offers because, as I said, I am patient.

Don't start making claims like this, about an extension you're clearly actively trying to promote using NP as a platform. It's gross. Either put up some proof or keep those claims to yourself please.
