.tv How many years is .TV behind .Com

[uniquedomainer]

How many years will it take for a .tv domain to catch up in value to a .com domain? How many years is a .tv domain name in value behind .com. Does anyone know when the .TV bubble is coming.

 

[DN BROKER]

never, it's like saying how many years will it take for an apple to turn into gold!

.tv has room for profit but very rare. I'm one of the lucky ones who sold a .tv in 2006 for $5000 US. since the recession the value of domains have dropped due to the fact no one is spending the cash they did years ago. .com will always be the KING and easiest to flip!

As CC said, it will never happen!

I think the .TV bubble died a long time ago.
Around 2000 I would say.

.tv is a niche extension and cannot really be compared to an all-purpose gTLD like .com.

Depends on what's left of .TV and the .COM

Hotel.TV is already worth more than FormalPortraits.com, for example.

Like.TV for Like.COM

Not in the foreseeable future. But to all the idiots that say stick to dot com as that is all that sells I have the following question:

When will the acquisition cost of a .TV be more than the acquisition cost of a .com?

 

[RPK]

.tv has no need to be like .com. .tv is a beautiful niche that you can make a lot of money from, but it is a different game and strategy than .com. If you treat .tv investing like you would treat .com investing you will lose your pants.

unless developed and suitable for .tv there is no expectations with this extension

what is the best strategy for investing in .TV domains ? Which types or styles of .tv seem to have a high potential?

i got to say this TV YOU know that online TV is the new era people all over is looking foor internet tv to me depends on how you work a tv is how iit will do for example if you want to sell and show what you sell via video it will be a good way to do it so let see it this way if i own laptop.tv
what will you think whan typing laptop.tv wel what in comes to my mind is that this page got laptops on tv or videos oof laptops for sale i think business will move to .tv to sell anything so that way people will already know that they are gonna watch a video of the produc i thin there is a lot of noches with the .tv so one day they will be looking for .tv

The best strategy to make money: Stay away!

Theres 100x more money to be made in 2nd and 3rd tier .com's than in all of .tv land. Just look at the most recent "big news" sale.

Jeu.tv sells for 50k and people here go nuts. Granted thats a solid sale (congrats to ammar and michael) but it happens everyday in .com, not just in names regd 15 years ago but in every day names that are available regularly in auction markets and drops.

Bottomline for speculators (and yes this includes so-called "developers")- if you want to waste a lot of money and time then buy all the .tv's you can grab hoping to catch a piece of the latest market uproar. My bet is they'll all be back in the drops before 2 years is up.

This isnt to say that .tv cant be used to create a great brand but in order to do that you're going to need a lot more than just a great domain, though it may be a good start.

I see plenty of .tv's being used in the entertainment field. I reported years ago that tv producers were becoming aware of the extention and we've seen more and more shows and channels using it. But this in no way translates into ready profits for domainers!

many ppl here only thinks on the us market, in some countries .tv and .com are valued almost the same, like in some regions the .net is king.
it all comes down to your target area/region and your knowledge of that niche.
i see many ppl making a living on .me's and .pro's where most ppl say that extentions are dead.
all extentions are diferent and the way to sell them also are.
the .com vs * doesn't make any sense to me.

Guest appearance to hang shit on .tv

[freedom30]

Infinity squared. :P

...you should trade in yer geetar for a banjo. Makes more sense and probably sound better comin' fum you, two...

.com is getting older and not the monolith it once was. Mobile technology and apps render it weaker and while it still gets big bucks (tax purposes, more than likely) the younger generations are growing up with more extensions and aren't concerned that it isn't .com like the older generations still are.

.tv doesn't need to overtake it, it just needs to keep on keepin' on...it's doin' just fine...

Common strategy is to sell to new TV investors for high, praise the sale/purchase and to never buy from other resellers unless below reg fee or close to drop price and maybe not even then. Review the main .CO, .ME, .PRO, .CC, .US, .WS, .mobi, etc. discussion threads. Got a great generic in the .??? extension? Well, that doesn't fit the extension. At least not today and not for you; as a friend or sharing the same circular thinking it kicks ass, congratulations, good job and so on.

Whatever can be done on a .TV can be done on most other extensions with lower renewals. If you're set on investing in .TV then take advantage of the initial multi-year purchase discount, because it's likely you will sit on them for quite some time.

Very few individuals/groups are making substantial money on all extensions other than registrars. Friendly advice, well wishes, etc. aside the main goal is for you to part with your cash.
