Got VLOG Domains? If so SHOW EM OFF...Blogs Are Yesterday. Now It's Vlog Time

[DnPresident]

Vlog= Video Blog........From what I know of the term VLOG I see it having a great future... Blogs do very well in the search engines and videos do well so the 2 combined just seem to go hand in hand.

Do you see VLOG being bigger than BLOG? Why or why not?

What's the future for vlog?

Some say on net: Blogs Are Yesterday. Now It's Vlog Time.

what's to stop a blogger from simply adding video to their site now, without designating it a vlog? it's still a blog, but with video, so from that regard vlogs will just be subset of blogs.

the google numbers for 'vlog' are nice - Results 1 - 10 of about 16,900,000 for vlog

but the numbers for 'blog' are enormous - Results 1 - 10 of about 3,540,000,000 for blog [definition].

I had a few keyword vlog names but let them drop. I don't really see a future for these types of names. "Vlog" just does not roll off the tongue like "blog". If these types of names ever gain value I will just pick one up on the aftermarket. That would be cheaper than paying renewal fees every year for a large portfolio. Anyway, that is my two cents.

I agree. I don't really feel like "vlog" will ever overshadow "blog". One main reason is not everyone wants to be an actor/actress. Many people (including myself) are much more comfortable expressing ideas, opinions, etc.. in writing than on camera. Blogs are providing so much information to people right now in the form of text that vlogs don't really have a chance to compete.. IMO

Thanks for the response and replying to you let's keep the ball rolling by saying keep in mind The term vlog is much newer and wasn't even registered until 2002 while blog appears to have had a 6 year earlier registration date. I'm not sure how popular the term Blog was 6 years ago.

I didn't even know Vlog was as mainstream as it is until I saw a popular newscaster use the term on CNN headline news the other day by Saying to view a certain Vlog. After searching around the net a little I think I see a word on the rise and being used more and more.

I'm not disagreeing with you that blog is more popular at the moment, Nor am saying vlog will be more popular in the future. :D

I just have one : V-L-O-G.com . Who knows if vlogging will overtake but it is still only in its infancy.

This is a subject I can definitely comment on.

I started buying blog domains in 2002 in earnest; I started buying vlog and vodcast domain in earnest in late 2004 and 2005.

In each category I own what would be considered probably one of the best sets of blog, vlog, and vodcast domains you could imagine since I started buying before anyone else. As far as I could tell I was the first real hardcore buyer. I did miss out being first on podcasts, but still own a lot of them.

Here is what I learned..... blog domains were considered silly in 2002 and nobody wanted them.... generic + blog + .com . I got a lot of laughs about buying those.

Vlogs and Vodcasts still are kinda' considered silly terms, but "podcasting" has caught on a little bit.

Whether the terms vlogs and vodcasts will catch on or not is specualtion. I think they proabably will not catch on (even though I just renewed a bunch), and will be considered more of technical terms that some developers use instead of the mass population. Anyone can start a blog in five minutes. Does anyone in the public really know how to make a vlog, vodcast, or podcast, and like one poster said above..... they probably would just call it a blog anyhow.

My highest traffic vlog domain had 47 visitors in the last 365 days, my best earner comes in at $1.09 for the last 365 days..... if that tells you how far we are still away from mass recognition of the term, and these are on vlog domains of which I can't imagine owning any better.

Seabass, my guess is that you did the right thing by renewing the really good ones (xxxxxVlog.com)

Could be wrong but I think it's just now beginning to catching on. Choo Choo

I also see it as a helpful term since if someone says look at the blog you expect just writing while Vlog you expect at least some video. Some want the video and some may not, so this is an easy way to distinguish between the two "video or not"

Nice, All mine have something in front of the word vlog like RealEstate, TaxReturn, CreditScore

Theyve been talking about VLOG's since 05:

http://www.namepros.com/domain-name...domain-names-related-area.html?highlight=vlog

Why now do you think they are catching on?

 

[DomainMayhem.com]

I have vblogs.info, which is what they started off calling them. I'd rather have vlogs.info, but it's still a decent name.

 

[bmugford]

I have vBlogs.net

 

[Hurley4540]

I seriously think vlogs won't overtake blogs .

 

[Rochemontagne]

I have 2:

GayVlog dot com
LesbianVlog dot com

 

[bmugford]

I agree there.

I seriously think vlogs won't overtake blogs .

 

[RogueWriter]

As an aside, BailoutVlog.com is available...

 

[DnPresident]

Why now do you think they are catching on?

The number one reason is More and More searches I look up are now coming up with vlogs on the first page of the search engine Google. Haven't you seen Petey Greene? Just look up - how to eat a watermelon - on google.

But seriously just type in - how to - in goog and you'll see one right there.
One of the most looked up how to's is - how to make hair bows -

Type in vlog in youtube and get 125,000 results, vlogger gets 14,500 while blog gets millions so all I'm saying is that video logs are being referred to as vlog in a growing fashion.

How do you know, you ask- Well I just assume that since people are posting them on the net using the term vlog daily it must be growing. I can't see how it would go the other way and as I mentioned above the popular newscaster using the term vlog on CNN. If that's a 1 time thing then no biggy but if fox, cnn, msnbc and other popular news broadcasts begin using the term it will take right off. CNN has iReport so I don't really see them using Vlog too much.

Who knows what 5 more years may bring? Certainly not me..... We have to get past december 21 2012 first Oh, just had to look ...Video/vlog on first page of goog for december 21 2012 too.
