Dot .GURU

[RU]

Show off your .guru domains!

What .gurus Do You Have?

P.S. I have no .guru domains..

 

[GoWeb]

I was laughing when people were buying .mobi domains, .asia .tel .co .eu .xxx etc etc.

You are entitled to your own opinion but you should check on the facts before discouraging others from finding new opportunity.

You burnt your fingers with .Mobi, .Asia, .Tel, .Eu gTLDs but were you buying the very best of them? Are you still in denial?

The very best of these mobi/asia/tel/eu have sold handsomely and I am not quoting 2-3 domains in isolation. Here are some sale stats (and I am still quoting only a few):

You are entitled to your own opinion but you should check on the facts before discouraging others from finding new opportunity.

There is no opportunity for you. The opportunity is for the registrars and the registries. You are at the end of the food chain.

Again, if you are buying .guru domains for resale you are out of luck. These names are nothing special at all, just vanity, and end users have plenty of choice when there are thousands of new extensions.
Everything you buy is uncontested stuff... that nobody else wanted. Not a premium price.

You burnt your fingers with .Mobi, .Asia, .Tel, .Eu gTLDs but were you buying the very best of them? Are you still in denial?

No I didn't buy any. Yet these domains look almost good when compared to .guru...
But history repeats itself always. Ignore history and you'll repeat the same mistakes. Or be smart and learn from the mistakes of others.

The very best of these mobi/asia/tel/eu have sold handsomely and I am not quoting 2-3 domains in isolation. Here are some sale stats (and I am still quoting only a few):

Again, these sales are isolated cases and not representative. Have you noticed you posted old sales because the hype has gone long ago. But there is always somebody left holding the bag...

@sdsinc, I think your view on new gTLDs is delusional, probably the aftereffect of too many marijuana domains floating around. :lol:

Anyway, let's rest this debate here itself and let others showcase their .GURU domains here. :music:

Here are three other domains of mine:

Host .guru
Holidays .guru
Resorts .guru

Oh boy. This thread makes me jealous of the registries.

It's a new opportunity. new business for us. But I also believe that domains are not created equal, some will fail but some will succeed. In every small business, budget is always tight so keep it under control.

I launched Company.Guru for marketing our services yesterday, received a few registrations already. Nice return of investment for a marketing page. If you registered a .GURU through NeedName.com let me now so I can add your link to the company.guru page.

And for my personal blog, I am nowhere close to a GURU but I registered anyway because the dot com is a million to purchase. I'm happy happy happy

Congrats for the great name! Great website you developed there. Was the website designed inhouse or you got it done by someone else?

I been looking for someone to develop similar one page websites.

People who are laughing at new gTLDs will soon be laughing at themselves. There is no need to listen to people with negative outlook. I say new gTLDs are great and soon the prices of some long tail keyword .COMs will come crashing down when Google includes these new gTLDs in their search algorithm.

Domain sales data clearly shows that all domains that make sense sell well irrespective of their extensions. Looking at a few sales:

FR.cc sold for $50k
Call.me sold for $26k
Mortgage.asia sold for $23k

Consider this:
Why would a company buy InsuranceXyzAbc.com when it could simply buy Insurance.guru widening the scope of its business?

Some of new gTLDs greatly enhance the SEO value; ask youself:
How is a HealthGuru.com better than Health.Guru?
How is a FitnessGuru.com better than Fitness.Guru?


My shiny .GURU domains: :bah:

777.guru
Christ.guru

"I say new gTLDs are great and soon the prices of some long tail keyword .COMs will come crashing down when Google includes these new gTLDs in their search algorithm."

Nah. I mean Google health. Do you really think somebody out there is going to build a better site on health.guru then what's already out there and has been for many years, with many links coming in etc? The limited amount of major keywords that actually make sense, are usually also some of the most competitive.

I look at .guru as kind of like a more available .pro. A guru or pro, somebody being the best at what they do kind of deal. Of course when I hear guru, it means me of fake/scam because usually people that call themselves that, are anything but. I guess more in the religious realm

"In the west derogatory uses have been noted whereby gurus exploit their followers' naivete, due to the use of the term in new religious movements."

Oh boy. This thread makes me jealous of the registries.

Exactly!

And as soon as the gates open to other extensions the sheep move swiftly to another pen.

Few folks here are keen on developing anything, if you have an idea and the means to do it then build your vision and take control of your destiny. I'm not a fan of .guru and won't be buying any, to be blunt I think it is lame, but that doesn't mean no one will succeed developing a site on it. Maybe that someone is you, or maybe you loose your ass on it, no one knows for sure until they try.

 

[TheWatcher]

Key point is to budget your investment, stay in black with your forecast.

I also don't like other extension, like .mobi .pro .tel but I like them to succeed. It's good for domain industry.

 

[DnEbook]

well someone has ……….. india.guru

 

[TheWatcher]

In-house customization. I will launch a website customization for domainer soon.... to support new extension. I will keep you posted.

Here are three other domains of mine:

Host .guru
Holidays .guru
Resorts .guru

i think its hilarious you quote mobi prices from 2007-2008....this was the height of their hype. try quoting prices from today. you couldn't sell the best of keywords for more than a few grand...just look at flowers.mobi. sold for 185k in 2006...then 5k in 2012.

 

[GreenDog18]

New to the forum... I picked up.

I am not in the resell business.. I plan to actually develop them. If someone makes an offer down the road I would consider it tho.

birds.guru
boxer.guru
catbreeds.guru
catfood.guru
dachshund.guru
dogbreeds.guru
doggrooming.guru
doginsurance.guru
dognames.guru
hamster.guru
labrador.guru
petinsurance.guru
petmeds.guru
poodle.guru
pitbulls.guru
pomeranian.guru
puppyfood.guru
pugs.guru
rottweiler.guru
shihtzu.guru
yorkie.guru

I do plan on investing in some of the .dogs .pets but besides that I will probably stay away from the rest.

 

[mjnels]

you're gonna start hearing everyone claim "they are going to develop them" like with .mobi

with .mobi, i KNEW at the time like 95% of the people saying this were full of crap... they always worded it like, "im not selling but if a good enough offer came along........."

LOL

meanwhile, they would have hundreds or even 1,000+ .mobi saying "eventually im going to develop most of them"

yeah right. what sort of meaningful development can you do with that many domains..

 

[GoWeb]

i think its hilarious you quote mobi prices from 2007-2008....this was the height of their hype. try quoting prices from today. you couldn't sell the best of keywords for more than a few grand...just look at flowers.mobi. sold for 185k in 2006...then 5k in 2012.

Your views already have the answer you seek from me. When initially, during the hype of "mobi", mobis sold very well for $185k, why do you think, exceptional .GURU domains will not repeat the success for ".GURU" tld and not sell well?

Your job as a domainer is to earn profit from domains. What's 2-3 grand for possibility of earning 100x returns? If you keep sitting on the sidelines and keep criticizing new opportunities, you will never earn anything. You gotta take small and calculated risks as a domain enterpreneur.

Cheer up and buy yourself 1-2 good ones for $30 apiece. :wave:
