information .LINK binge progress

[ThatNameGuy]

Sorry to have to start another thread regarding .LINK, but i wasn't able to answer questions "if" there was a "link" of any kind in the text of the post/message I was responding to.

I was able to hand register slightly more than a thousand names with about 20 of them being "Premium" names that sold for $116 each, and one that I purchased for $478, the corresponding .com is valued at $8,800,000.

Since a host of individuals have confirmed that, ".LINK is no worse than .XYZ", I just knew .link was a good alternative to .com and a good rival for .xyz

Curious anyone? Lets have some fun

Thank you for sharing. I agree with you. There may be a great potential opportunity of .link.
I don't have much infos about the new owner.

i have it from a pretty reliable source the unveiling of the new .LINK will occur in the next 60 days. The binge buying continues with; Showcasing.link

I like .link, which changed its owner this year, I think it is an extension in line with the spirit of the Internet. Earlier this year, we confirmed the large amount transaction about link.link, which is encouraging.

Although according the information of namepros, the trading volume of link has not increased significantly, and the registration volume is also very stable. I choose to invest in .link and .xyz. I think they both have opportunities in the future.

Extremely sound reasoning, Rich! You just keep following your gut and the gobs and gobs of cash from domaining will keep rolling in. At this point you must be taking Scrooge McDuck style baths in the mountains of cash you've accumulated from domains!

"He has also taken on a couple of investors. Jeff Gabriel, a domain broker and co-founder of Saw.com, is one of the new investors." This is a little like Warren Buffet investing in your company.....and the binge continues with binge.link. "binge" like link is also a keyword and has an average sales price of $2,263.

Yes, some person investing in .LINK is exactly the same as Warren Buffet, the most famous investor of all time, investing in your company.

Let me know when Warren Buffet invests in .LINK.

[blogspotter]

That all seems relevant to me. Well done Rich. I think you have another home run on your hands.

I must put in on record that I agree with you on this one.

May the best man win!!

Brad...i'm so happy you follow me....it speaks volumes Why do you suppose Jeff invested in .LINK?

 

[MadAboutDomains]

For $8.76 i binge purchased these .links today;

Bastard.link
Determined.link
Illumination.link
Marquee.link

Despite thinking I know what I'm doing, I KNOW i'm having FUN!

Thanks for sharing.

The first one though? Why

 

[ThatNameGuy]

The first one though? Why

Good question....i'm not sure why? However, after seeing Brand Bucket's Friday 4Sale email asking $180,000 for metaverge.com, i just registered;

metaverge.link ($2.19)
metamerge.link ($2.19)
metashare.link ($2.19)

That's because .LINK is no worse than .com

I'm not seeing any good reasons for buying these names, but I wish you luck anyway

If you understood anything at all about "POTENTIAL" or Risk vs. Reward you might understand. My life has been enriched in so many ways because of my education.....and good luck to you too.

I do understand those things, I've been in domaining long enough. Just don't waste your money on domains like bastard.link...

 

[Bob Hawkes]

here's what our friend and domain analyst Bob Hawke's had to say about .link;

"I had not heard until your post that the new owners of .link had been announced, finally. Good to hear one is a successful domain investor. In my view .link was by far the most valuable of the auctioned TLDs from the former Uniregistry. I hope the new owners will manage the TLD well."

Just to place this quote in context, I do think, as it says, .link was the best of the former Uniregistry TLDs that were auctioned, simply because it is so much broader in potential applications compared to say .hiphop or .Christmas, and and many of the other auctioned TLDs, and has wider use than .click which is most similar. I personally prefer the sound of .link to .click.

Please be sure to read correctly my quotation, from a private email, not an article or analysis: a comparison with the other recently auctioned TLDs. It was not some overall endorsement of .link in general.

I hold a few .link names (less than 20), I will continue to do so. I am not increasing my holdings in .link right now. If I notice a great combination without a premium price tag, it is not a big investment to try it for a year or two.

I am glad that apparently the new registry owner has domain expertise, and I do hope the TLD will do well. We will see.

I do like the sound of many expressions with .link. I see most obvious use as trade directories, reference sites, collaborations, travel-related resources, marketplaces, etc. The only .link I sold personally ended up for a game site, however.

Probably all the legal business over eth .link of late (owner not allowed to renew while in jail, allowed to expire and auction at huge price, then legal order to return domain, and now back in use as a redirection site for decentralized domain names on web) will make people notice the TLD, although not sure overall good publicity. The issue could have arisen with any TLD, just happened to be link, but general public may not see that.

I may at some point do an analysis of .link. I have not done so up to now, other than it is one TLD I look at in my annual check.

Yes, that is a pretty low bar.

Many, if not most, of the Uniregistry TLDs were niche like the ones Bob mentioned as well as .guitars, .tattoo, .blackfriday, etc.

Being the best of those is not some ringing endorsement.

I assumed you stated this publicly somewhere.

To use something that was said privately in an email as a public endorsement is kind of messed up.

Hi
Thank You for clarifying that your private email was not an endorsement.
as the same quote, word for word, was posted 8/19 on another forum implying that you were.
additionally, you were mentioned in a post on 6/3, in which your name was used in association with this subject.

the real always exposes itself, so i waited until it manifested.

of course i know the deal, but those who half-read and don't or will not question... will consume and therefore assume.


imo...

Bob....i'll have to go back and check, but I don't recall this being from a "private email" you sent me? Was it from a private email you sent someone else? I thought it was an actual post or response of yours here on NP. It seems that somehow a few of my favorite people here on NP got the impression that I quoted this from a private email you sent me. Regardless, i quoted exactly what you said, and to the best of my knowledge didn't take anything out of context.

Sorry if you were somehow offended Bob, i certainly didn't mean to offend you for your positive comments about .LINK.
