.app .APP Registration

[drewwash]

Now that .APP is rolling out I thought I'd share a little of our position in .APP domains. I'd love to know what others are doing.

We budgeted just shy of $100k for .APP domain registrations. Several we've already acquired and several we've missed. I'll update our pickups as I can without giving away our position. So far I will share that we picked up:

• Wedding.app

Trademark Claim
I do have a domain that we registered that has to pass their trademark claim process... it is very generic, not sure who decided to try to call it a trademark, we shall see.

Our Why
To sum it up, Google is our why. I became a domainer back in 2000, when the domain really mattered in SEO. My hunch is that Google won't be able to resist giving some type of preference to quality .APP domain.

Even a small advantage in the SERs or even the Play App Search results, make generic .APP domains valuable.

Because for regfee all domains are good.
Aftermarket is absolutely another story.

When I check https://namestat.org/app

I find 2 common trends:

The average new .app domains registered everyday / weekly since may 2018 is 200-400 or even more and mainly registered through GD or NC.

But when I check resale on namebio.com, I see only 13 sales till today.

Any idea why ?

You can't possibly think Namebio automatically collects "most-if-not-all" domain sale public records in the world right? The screenshots only demonstrate one of a few dozen domain trading sites in mainland China alone and there's 5000+ records lol. Not many people/domainers in mainland will bother submitting to a site e.g. Namebio/Namepros that they've very likely never heard of in mainland in their entire life before (there's reasons why there's room for brokers). Not to mention all other non-English speaking Eastern countries that weren't counted, which is pretty much in the same situation, there's just simply no reason for them to do so. Imagine if you've ever submitted any of your sales to a Chinese domain news medium? I guess not.

This is exactlyyy what my common sense told me since I am in the game.
However, thanks for sharing the examples.

[Tyskeen]

What do you guys think of my Bankroll.app

 

[namelancer]

What is surprising is that once developed, you have a domain name that actually shows up on Page 1 of Google when you type the keywords. One does not need to spend money in SEO to get the ranking high.
Surprised it has not taken off in a big way thanks to this feature

Thank you for the valuable info
