Thx for helping me get my neurons clicking on this.
A year ago, I wasn't as diligent in doing my homework as I am today, and was more apt to reg names that I liked based upon their branding potential. Since March almost all of the "branders" that I have registered are 3 character or dictionary names. Other than these, almost all of my names are checked on WordTracker, OVT, Google, Alexa and WaybackMachine, (when applicable). I also visit sites with same name/other tld's and sometimes look at DN sales sites to get a larger overview. I guess I've just been a little lazy w/ these names, and should have done my homework before posting.
regarding MDReference.info, it has zero count on OVT suggestion tool and only 3K Google results for "md reference". So, I'd not register it even if it was available now and offered at 50% discount fee.
MDReference.info could be branded and promoted despite the poor Ovt numbers, but as I think more about it, I wouldn't reg the .info today, but , would reg the .com if avail. My reasoning probably was that, strictly speaking, the .info is the most appropriate tld for the name. But the reality is that I am not willing to wait the 4-5 years that .info probably needs to justify regging a "brander", unless it is *very* good, indeed.
Now your name MedicalTerms.info has an OVT count of 26K and 1.5 Million Google results for "medical terms". I'd be personally willing to pay you 2-3 times of your original reg fee
Thankyou for your generous offer. I'm primarily interested in the enduser market and development to a lesser degree and, unless I lose interest and decide to drop a name, I generally don't sell at wholesale and am prepared to wait it out for a few years. I will tweak a price downward for a reseller, but I think more along the lines of a 50% discount off the bottom target price, rather than the 200%-300% profit, above reg fee, that can be realized in the short term.
Why don't you put the whole list of them in the Appraisal forum. Keep the ones that appraise high and ditch the ones that appraise low or reg fee. Let the market decide.
Thx, although this would seem to be a good way to go, I don't think the appraisal board would appreciate a request to appraise 30+ names. Also, although I see the board as being very useful and helpful, I am not always inclined to agree w/ the appraisals. The group concensus is even off at times. ie Are info's being scrutinized a little more now, than they were prior to Sept?
think that sticking along the lines of directory and portal like names are a wise decision as they often fit the .info extension more appropriately. I've stayed along that path as well with my .infos I've registered. I'd definitely stick with RepairGuide.info, MedicalTerms.info, and TeenAdvice.info for sure and wait for the right offers to come along.
There's huge potential for MedicalTerms.info as the medical Industry is huge and a website on terms and definitions could be a big success. Those three definitely have potential and well worth the renewal fees. I wouldn't just settle for a cheap sale now just to be making a sale, as they are worth much more than that in the long haul. If you just stay in there and wait it out then I'm sure you'll receive very nice sales on them, as the value can only increase.
I wish you all the best with them.
Thankyou, my brothers. I needed a little encouragement, concerning my info regs. I've been so focused on 3LL, 3Char, and the drop market lately, I lost sight of what my original vision was w/ the .info regs.
I think the .info registry may be developing a ploy to overtake the popularity of .net domains to become teh second most popular gTLD. Maybe before some other registrar actually promotes it, if verisign loses .net renewal next year.
Very interesting and new info to me. Adoptable, you continue to have a knack for bringing insightful and fresh ideas to the table. Will keep an eye on thispotential development.
TX everyone for the help. Time to go and run some .infos through the gauntlet. :D
