domains Have you dropped all your domains?

[equity78]

So a year ago Rick Schwartz tweeted out that 90% of all domain investors should start over. 90% of every domainer should drop ALL their #Domains and start again! They are so far off the path that it is sad to see. #gtld#Startups — Rick Schwartz (@DomainKing) May 16, 2017 The thread here got a lot of comments, some touched upon the topic of a post I wrote last week. "Are old school domainers … [Read more...]

I have dropped 1000s of names over past few years and still doing it. Names I rarely if ever got sale inquiries on and had basically no traffic or revenue. Odd thing is the vast majority were picked up on the drop (no matter how bad they were) with many going to huge-domains. Not sure how HugeDomains sells them in view of the real bad stats. One name was a 2 word com owned for many years with never even 1 inquiry, zero income or traffic, no other ext taken, and dubious value search results of term in google but it somehow was sold on the drop for $2,500 to Domain King Rick. When I had it would have gladly sold it for $50 to anyone.

Sold on the drop at auction, can you say which venue?

As a newbie I registered a lot of .BIZ domains. I quickly dropped most of those but in the early years I picked up hundreds of .Net domains. They were hard to sell so I slowly pared the .Net portfolio. I then discovered .TV in 2008 and found I could backorder some amazing keywords. Of course renewals were much more expensive. As the .TV portfolio grew and sales were slim I realized .TV while it sounds cool and makes sense for a videocentric site, .TV was not such a great investment. Youtube is free and many video channels opt to have no domain at all or use some weird made up brand rather than buy a keyword domain. Facebook has also been a factor as many content producers / end users utilize social media platforms rather than pay for an internet presence. Google's search engine algorithm changes in 2012 also reduced the placement value of EMDomains. So after ten years plus and having dropped about 80% of the domains I have ever registered with about a third of the remaining ones priced $XXX, why would I waste money on a new extension? Even with recent end user inquiries you still see them fighting to pay more than $xxx for really solid .COM domains.

thanks for sharing

I have a few things i do to run a domain test.
1. list on godaddy with no min offer (if I get any offer here I keep the name)
2. if I get any offer through my for sale landers I keep the name.
But to be honest the best names that got the most offers are the ones I sold...like turned and sliced in king...
The only one that gets alot of offers that I havent sold still are heated and smartdrones in king....
Wouldnt it be amazing if you could see which domains have the most interest? If there was a marketplace that would take into account age, offers, visits and other factors and you could buy based on those interest factors? a way of using mass sentiment to rank a domain....so its not just you who thinks its good but others as well.
