How do you feel about Domain lists ?

[equity78]

Over the weekend there were a couple posts about Domain Lists, and which Domain Blogger put out the best.

ElliotsBlog has a poll going right now

A couple commenters posted they were sick of them or don't like them.

So instead of voting on who you think is the best.

Do you like these domain lists or do you dislike them ?

My feeling: if one doesn't like them, then just ignore them.

I like the lists and appreciate the work that goes into them.

I have acquired some nice domains via various lists.

Thanks to all who create them.

I don't care either way. I don't go out of my way to check them out but if I come across one I'll glance at it. Generally I don't get much use out of them and have registered maybe 2-3 domains off of lists from the past 4-5 years.

They 'sometimes' can be advantageous in finding a name you didn't see or know of. The blogger(s) I like, I'll click the link and proceed to buy or not accordingly. The others, I copy and paste and proceed to buy or not accordingly.

I don't like them. I don't like the short lists because they bring attention to some domains and I don't like the long (copy and paste) lists as they are everybody's waste of time.

They sketch me out for some reason. I think even if I seen an awesome domain on one of these lists I would be very cautious before buying. I feel like why would someone post a great name that they could've just registered themselves. Plus most of them are junk IMO

 

[equity78]

Will probably because not everyone writing them is looking to reg every domain and some probably don't reg many at all.

 

[OnlineDomainCom]

Or they just hide the ones they like.

 

[equity78]

Well that's common sense right ? I am sure Shane Cultra is not bringing more attention to a name he is interested in, but if other bloggers are doing their job they would have it in their list.

 

[OnlineDomainCom]

No, it's not common sense to me. When you say you are making a list of the best names then you are supposed to deliver just that.
Otherwise the list should be called: "Best of the domains I don't like. Probably they are worthless or too expensive for me."

 

[equity78]

The lists never say these are the only good domains. And as I said if Shane keeps one off someone else should find that if its that good. The lists are going to keep coming because there are people making money off them.

 

[OnlineDomainCom]

The lists say they have the best domains their writers could find.
When you hide a couple of them then you don't have a list.
You have something else.

I know lists are going to keep coming. I just don't like lists with a personal agenda.

 

[equity78]

I think most guys do their lists as names I like, I have never read Bill or Shane say these are the best they could find. I don't read any other blogs list so I don't know about the others.

 

[OnlineDomainCom]

Sorry but I don't understand. Are those lists of the worst domains they could find?

By the way Bill's and Shane's list are called: "Best of Godaddy Drop Auctions" and "SHANE’S BIG LIST". Best and big.

 

[equity78]

I don't understand, how does BIG mean these are the best. Shane has always told people he does not put names on the list that he is looking at.

Bill uses words like Gems and I don't think Bill really regs any so he probably is giving you what you want as I don't think he bids on any auctions.

 

[OnlineDomainCom]

First of all Bill says "Best of". I don't know what Bill does. Maybe he bids maybe he doesn't. I haven't read anything about it.

Second, I just read in a comment Shane made (not on his blog) that he hiding the domains he likes. Maybe he has mentioned it in his blog too. But when I read his or any list I assume that all good domains are there and not hidden. If there is no disclaimer explaining that on every post then this is just dishonest.

I am going to ask you again. Are those lists of the worst domains they could find? What is the point of doing a list that does not have the best domains? (Best of the write's taste of course.)

Otherwise the list should be called: "Best of the domains I don't like. Probably they are worthless or too expensive for me." or "List of mediocre domains I don't really care for but you should buy so I make money".

 

[equity78]

Shane has many times Dvd on his blog said that.

Bill today has Tuesday’s Godaddy Drop Auction Gems 10-2-12

Best of the rest means the rest of the list that he compiled.

I think sometimes one might not put a name on there that they like and it might only have personal meaning to them like plants names for Shane.

 

[OnlineDomainCom]

I don't have to read every post Shane has done to read a list.
If there is no disclaimer explaining that on every post then this is just dishonest:

I think sometimes one might not put a name on there that they like and it might only have personal meaning to them like plants names for Shane.

Bill's Monday post:
Best of Godaddy Drop Auctions for Monday 10-1-12

And it seems that you playing with words. Gems and best etc.
And you don't reply to this:

I will gladly reply to that DVD, first off who is saying what is the best ? I read lists and sometimes don't think some names are good, the writer may have thought they were the best.

The best names don't get overlooked imo. If Shane had his eye on an LL.net he might not list it but there would already be a lot of bids so I don't think anyone is missing that, and certainly Bill or TNT or someone else would have on their list.

I disagree with your premise that "List of mediocre domains I don't really care for but you should buy so I make money". There are plenty of times the names are not mediocre.

 

[OnlineDomainCom]

I will only reply the first one with a quote because you don't seem to read what I write (and I don't know what a DVD is):

Also this is not a collective list or community blog. Every blog is separate. I don't have to read every post in order to find what good domain each of the blogs are hiding.

I truly don't understand what you are talking about here. What premise? I said that IF writer's DIDN'T make lists of the what they consider best domains then the lists SHOULD be called "mediocre". This is a hypothesis.
