I'm preparing to invest a few bucks in "tasting" .TVs. If the domain makes an average of .25 to .50 per day over 3 days it stays, otherwise it will be grace deleted for credit. Dynadot allows free grace deletion.

I hand regged a .TV recently that makes about $3.00/day. This is very rare but there are plenty of unregistered .TVs that can generate that kind of revenue. My plan is to use the parking revenue to begin renewing my best .TVs for multiple years.

Has anyone tried this? Any suggestions?

it is great that you found some that are making $$$!

but i still do not think you can truly taste anything but com- i think even the best tvs, premium generic words, probably do not have much type in traffic-

so i guess if you find some that is awesome but i dont think most people would type it in

$3 per day is damn good,
Check if website has been indexed by www.archive.org to see if it had a website before.
If not then try to find some google backlinks, if u dont find any then its probably a type in.

I think about 95% of my .TV traffic comes from type-ins. PUTS.TV gets little traffic but pays 1.00 to 1.50 per click. That name was hand regged in August.

My highest traffic comes from another recent hand reg and generates over 100 visitors per day from type-in traffic. I'm not sure "who" is doing the typing but the traffic converts well.

It's a .TV registration of a very high traffic .com website. It's funny, but there must be a lot of people looking to register these names and checking to see where the domain is pointed.

Wow, $3/day in revenue. That's very good for a .tv name. Do you mind sharing what name it is?

Wow

Not to step on anyone toes here I am aganist domain tasting. I know a lot of people do it. Me personally I think its taking advantage of a free domain name, then return it if it dosent work out.

Micro I am happy your finding some nice names and doing well. One or 2 names I guess I would be ok with.

What my worry is that domain tasting will cause no returns for people to return in the 5 day grace period. Either a godaddy rep spelled the name wrong and you notice you can return it. I have misspelled names before on godaddy.com from my mobi phone when I do names.

Eventually if godaddy is doing 100 to 1000 domain names in domain tasting each day why would they want this. Waste on customer care, waste on accounting department and waste on working hours while they can service more better

Then people like me are left holding the bag of a name that mis spelled or you look up trade mark info and realize its trademarked.

That's my point. Hurts the 5 day period. Eventually the amounts of credits and man hours godaddy and other places will say we are putting a stop to this and not allowing returns. Then here I am left holding the bag

I am sure people will not agree with this. Its my thoughts. My friends taste names and they know how I feel.

Either way micro nice name and like your puts.tv. After work I need to see this. You could corner the market by grabbing putoptions.tv, calloptions, calls.tv if its open and then hit up putspreads and etc. Not sure if these are open. I see good clicks on financial terms even with market meltdown and financials still paying for ads even with credit crunch and mortgage meltdown. If it gets any worse from here maybe less price per click?? Not even sure if that's what puts.tv has on site since I am mobi. Love this gem. Its a winner!

As far as type in traffic, I agree. I am seeing increases as well. Ups and downs. Have a few names converting well.
