Anyone else registering 3D domains?

[malcarada]

It seems that 3D is going to be the the next must have technology, according to the big brands, they are all launching 3D TVs.

I attempted to find good 3D names but the best domains are already taken, I think in 5 years time or even less, those generic 3D domains will be worth a lot. :imho:

Anyone else registering 3d domains? Do you think they have a future?

Then they should have bought mcdonalds 2d 3d 4d 5d 6d 7d and 8d.
They do not have a lifetime reservation on dimensions in the domain world.
What If my last name was Mcdonald and I have 5 kids we are the mcdonalds
As long as I don't open a 3d website with yellow arches and burgers its ok.
mcdonalds3d.com

Coca is co company ca california coca cola= company co la = LA Los Angles
coca-cola If you believe that I have some Florida property for ya

Thats hilarious, we all know you dont actually believe that, the name is a TM, simple as that.

Quick go get Microsoft3D and Apple3D see how long you last lol

We see people like you all the time, lets see if you are posting in 6 months time, I bet you aren't.

Yeah right and 10, 11, 12, 13...999 ad nauseam, in all country extensions.
And you foot the bill.

Your domain displays sponsored ads for 'Restaurant Self Service'. That's enough for them to bring you down.

Lets give you the benefit of the doubt and for a moment imagine that you really are the McDonalds family and you just registered the domain mcdonalds3d to use as a personal blog to put up some 3d family photos. Technically you might have this right as long as you don’t venture into anything that is related to fast food restaurants, but even then McDonalds can claim that your domain is causing confusion.

But the problem here is when you register MULTIPLE domains that all include famous trademarks then it will be very difficult for you to justify having all those domains and those companies can very easily show that you had bad intent when registering similar domains to their trademarks and that can turn into a very serious matter (around 100k fine for each TM infringing domain).

Perhaps you are a new domainer and you didn’t know better, but it is probably best to stay away from domains that are clearly infringing on famous trademarks.

I have only one:-
3dtube .us. Hope its not infringing on anything!!

I have four 3d domains and plan to stop there.

Domainica made a good point (can't remember if it was here or at that other forum) when he said that eventually 3d will be the standard so that there will be no need for the term "3d." In other words, at some point in time, there will be very few 2d TVs manufactured, so the 3d term will simply be dropped.

That analysis makes more sense than just about anything else.

Perhaps we should all be regging 2d terms for those retro consumers who can't stand having 3d images jumping out at them.



I do think that there will be a window of opportunity for 3d domains, but it's anyone's guess how long that might be.

Froy, I would stop registering names if I were you at this point and try to make money on your names at this point.

Names on ebay show sold but they aren't. Unethical people use bin when sellers don't have buyer safeguards in place to weed out bad buyers. It used to happen to me many years ago when I started selling on ebay.

You are doing everything that gives good domainers a bad name. Asking a ridiculous amounts for a name that is worth at the most $25. Registering popular trademark name for who knows why. Then trying to justify everything.

Slow down and learn a bit more before you make Godaddy richer than they are now. I do wish you good luck with this.

Let's get back to showing off 3-d names

Hey I popped my best name just yesterday international3dtv.com

The TM stuff is going nowhere mcdonalds family etc.

I know the rules and laws now and just poke fun at those TMs.

Well see what these names bring

 

[Vito]

Great Post Blitz.

Hey Froy,

I see your excitement, creativitty, and determination.
We all had that same huge spark along with the same ignorance upon entering this Business/Hobby, etc.

You have to listen to most of the people who have taken their time to reply to you here in this thread.
Nobody wants to see people piss away money, and especially on TM terms.
That is a very personal subject to domainers everywhere, and it is not an arguement you will ever win.

You said you have 60+ non TM-ed domains, just start making those work for you first, then use that money to re-invest but I truly believe if you stay on the same route you are on, and keep using new money for more problem domains, you are gonna lose big time.

Just a friendly word of advice, kindof a repeat of what most everyone has said in this thread.

Good Luck to ya.

I regged 3Dxxx.net around a year ago and it's been bringing in 200+ visitors a month for months now, revenue too. Definetely one of my nicer hand regs for '09.

Great one Dillpup!

Many more cool ones

I don't need the TMS

 

[Vito]

Yeah,

Thats more like it.
Who knows, some of those could be decent.
I like the makeover one.

I constantly have my girlfriend and daughter on different sites pasting their faces on and adding makeup, or hairstyles, etc.
Some of the images could look pretty awesome in 3D.
They actually pay to play on these sites, :lol:

Oh, and please don't ever take ebay seriously.
It's more or less a .99 cent playground, and definitely not a good guage on the Domain market...lol

I haven't regged any 3D domains since my initial post in this thread.

But beause of my last few posts, I had to reg one more.
3D Hairstyle-com

... The 3D Experience, Times Square ...

Looks great

I find this very interesting, indeed. Having declared repeatedly for the last several years that 3D would revolutionize entertainment the way sound revolutionized movies, the powers that be in Hollywood are showing extraordinary determination to make it so. This is why the comparisons to voip and other tech-head, next-big-thing technologies don't hold water: The major conglomerates and some of the biggest filmmakers in Hollywood are betting the farm on 3D. They are making it the new standard. 3D stuff will be flying off the shelves come Christmastime. There is no turning back.

Having said that, I do believe that the majority of 3D names that are being registered will go nowhere and that it makes absolutely no sense to slap "3D" onto the back of random keywords and think that'll make you a millionaire. And I completely understand the folks on this thread who have a reflexive negative reaction to the hysteria and want to throw water on it to tamp it down. Even I want to do that, and I've got a nice-sized portfolio of 3D names.

I'm sure I'll register more - there are a couple that I've had my eyes on make perfect sense and have a utilitarian purpose. But I'll be moving much more slowly in this arena going forward.

I agree.

I think the 3D names that are going to make a good deal of money were regged years ago.

There are some 3D names that were recently regged that will still let domainers make a few bucks in the near term.

I regged only two 3D names and some "S3D" names. They may make a few bucks, they may not. But there is a difference between rampant wild speculation and intelligent speculation. That difference is research.

 

[mjbenterprises]

I don't like getting caught up in hype, but I couldn't resist regging this domain: 3DFilmTechnology.com

It has a nice exact Google keyword search of 1600/mo, plus it fits the whole "3D" theme...

Here is why 3D domains will be huge and profitable.
What makes 3D such a big thing is the fact that the viewer will have to pay full attention to the movie, advertisement or website they are looking at. Whatever they are watching they will be looking for the next thing flying at them or the next cool effect. 3D is a mind buzz its not for the casual viewer. I remember seeing U2 in 3D and I will tell you I was looking all over that screen to see the littlest thing. The ending of that show was better than the entire concert and everyone walked out because they thought it was over. I wanted see every inch and I'm glad I stayed to the end it was a 3D masterpiece.

When a 3D website is going to be built it's not going to be just slapped together a company is going to have to build a 100 - 200 thousand dollar mind experience. When one company produce's it and gets to market first just like Avatar the rest of the companies will follow right along.
Consumers will have to know that what they are about to click on is going to be a 3D experience so it must have 3D in the domain. If a consumer is not into 3D then that companies 2D website will be there for them. Once revenues from 3D websites show 10 percent increases or higher every domain name will be snatched up. Right now its a wait and see game but soon this will change, The new LED HD 3D TVS that are internet ready through wifi will be a showcase for these 3D websites that you are going to see , This will be The New Internet. These websites will be there own 3D channels instead of websites even though they are coming through the internet.

I think new investment dollars will come and come quick when this thing starts to go,

Don't think every company is going to just keep there domain and add a slash they will advertise JoeBlow3d.com to make it easier for consumers to find the sites. If you have not already seen Apple has received a patent for its new 3D Virtual World Web and once that kicks off and YouTube3D kicks off its all over.

I can see a TOYO Tire buying tires3d.com for easy search, hey are you going to google to put in TOYO or tires ? If you see tires3D.com are you going to say gee 3D tires what's that and boom the company will see traffic like no other. Just the curiousity factor alone will be enough for all 3D domains to flurish

Get your domains ready.

Do not sell for 300 bucks wait it out drive the prices UP

Hey 3D'ers

Quick question, I have just purchased 3DChannel.com and I wanted to get an opinion from you on what the name is worth. I think I got a good price, but if I could get some comments on what you think the name is worth now, and in the future, please let me know.

I hope I didnt get ripped off lol
