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

Regarding link in bio, it's an idea but I would think that for it to have any significance it would need to be a well known domain that screams "this is a site containing many links". People recognise that linktr.ee and others are a link to other links in a consistent format.

So the circumstance that we need is that people either recognise a single .link domain or a the entire extension as the source for useful grouped links (links.link or .links for it to make more sense). The former, fine, the latter... Less likely because everyone would need to create their own site, or pay for hosting or have some technical know-how to point their domain to a service that provides the service simply.

The whole beauty of linktr.ee is it's consistency and ease of creation... I feel It wouldn't have succeeded if it weren't for these key ingredients.

You're right that it is a phenomenon born out of restrictions of other services but the ship had sailed imho.

MAD....this is an excellent response to the new owners plan(s) for "Link In Bio". Some of my very best investments have been in "people" who are smarter than me who I trust. The new owners of .LINK have been working very hard behind the scenes to bring their ideas to fruition, and I have it from a reliable source their plans will be unveiled in the next 30 days. Thanks again MAD

Rich, everyone acknowledges that. It's a commonly known fact. Stop beating the poor straw man dead horse.

What's incomprehensible to me is that after 5 years doing this, you still haven't figured out why .com sells more volume for higher prices, and why only premium (usually short, single-word) terms have any value in new TLD extensions.

But Joe.....it's NOT a fact among end users, and "everyone acknowledges that". WOW, this really has gone over your head

 

[ThatNameGuy]

Unfortunately "toss" has negative connotations here across the pond. It's essentially rude... We call people tosspots, tossers so it wouldn't be my first choice, even if tossup is a flip of a coin. It would end up being called tossersports or something once people start losing their hard earned money.

"Unfortunately toss has negative connotations here across the pond" MAD, i wasn't aware of that at all. If anyone here in America says "this game is a TossUp", it means it can go either way, and it's a common phrase understood by sports fans. It's because so many sportsfans are also gamblers that I registered TossUpCasino.com to go with TossUpSports.

Thanks for your input MAD, it's well meaning and it puts a slight damper on my plans, but ever so slight

So you think the primary reason end users aren't buying .link is because they don't think they can use it like a domain name...?

Oh good. Where should I look for the updates so I can look out for it and identify them.

MAD....i'll do my best to keep you and this MB apprised of updates when they become available. To give you and others a little something to chew on....think of the possibilities behind a name like Nursing.link, especially considering there are over 27M nurses worldwide.

Joe...."end users" aren't buying .link YET, but i think you and Brad are starting to catch on especially with regards to "Link in Bio" Your thoughts on Nursing.link? How about CellTherapy.link? ......how does this compare to TCRtherapy.com....give it your best shot Mon Frere

Looks like we're changing topics. So in summary, your primary reason for valuing .link is because it can be used the same as any other domain names, but end users are not aware of this. Your opinion is that when end users are properly educated, they will prefer .link over .com for cheaper (albeit still inflated) prices.

Nursing is a decent keyword. I think that name is worth hanging onto as an investment as long as the renewal is not premium.

CellTherapy is not good with .link. It's not a high value term, and as a two word new TLD it's unlikely to sell for anything more than reg fee.

My TCRtherapy name is extremely speculative, but I do like owning the authoritative term for that developing medical technology in .com.

 

[DrJacoby]

Rich, much to your chagrin, .horse is no worse than .link.

Have you heard about horses Rich? It's a multi-billion dollar industry, mon frere.

When end users find out about .horse, .link (and .com) is dead in the water. Time for another binge-buying spree Rich?

My TCRtherapy name is extremely speculative as well, but i see where you're asking $150,000 for yours @ DAN. As you may recall I'm pretty well connected to the medical services industry, and in particular psychiatric health.

You said, "Your opinion is that when end users are properly educated, they will prefer .link over .com for cheaper (albeit still inflated) prices." That's a LIE Joe and you know it....i said that .link is a "viable alternative" to .com for a variety of reasons. And Joe...what about "Link in Bio"....what's wrong, cat got your tongue

Tell me Doc....ever hear of a friend of mine Dr. Ron Dozoretz aka Dr D? Ron was founder of Value Options and former Chariman of Genomind.....unfortunately Ron's no longer with us, but he left a lasting impression on me, and it has zero to do with horses. Thanks Doc....i was wondering when you were going to show up

So I'm sure you're aware of the amount of money that's being invested into this developing treatment. It's a bit of a moon shot for me (and honestly, probably even a bit of a miss from a commercial use standpoint), but the price is a reflection of my own patience as much as it is of potential value.

All domain extensions are "viable alternatives" to .com. But that's not a reason to pay more than reg fee for them.

Was that your doctor at the psychiatric ward, Rich? LOL.

Richard, the only reason I'm visiting your endless threads of yet another new TLD you've "discovered" is to get a good laugh. Unfortunately, it's at your expense Mon Frere.

Ever hear of how a good laugh can make you live longer Rich? I believe MakeYouLiveLonger.horse is still available. Remember? .horse is no worse than .link.

Joe....your arguments are getting weaker and weaker. How is an end user going to buy the best viable alternative at reg fee if I own it? Take Nursing.link for example whereby Nursing.com has at best a so so website behind it and it's NOT for sale. Nursing.link is one of several viable alternatives that are already registered, however none are available at "reg fee". Now i suppose an "end user" could purchase Nursing.xyz for $149,888 at DAN, then again the same "end user" could probably negotiate a little better deal with me for Nursing.link. After all Joe, you've already agreed that .LINK is no worse than .XYZ.

Again, you've failed to comment about "Link in Bio".......suggest you check out my friends at WOW.link and let me know what you think. Seriously, anyone else following this thread should check out WOW.link if you want to get a feel for what the future holds for .LINK.

So a nurse would go to nursing dot link and get a nursing job? Curious what a nurse would do at this site.

Another Doctor friend Dr. Talreja wrote a paper titled, "Laughter is like a Mini Vacation"....so keep reading Doc, you might accidentally learn something

Any number of things Beezy.....you might go to the site to find a nurse close by, or anywhere in the world. You might go to the site to find a multilingual nurse, or a nurse who specializes in lactation. The possibilities are endless Important to note;

"There are 27.9 million nurses around the world, an increase of 4.7 million between 2013 and 2018. Over 80% of those nurses are found in countries that account for half of the world’s population."

 

[Beezy]

Nursing.horse is available at reg fee, and since .horse is no worse than .link, there's no reason to buy expensively from TheLameGuy.

Horse is worse because you're going to be hard-pressed to find many right of the dot combos that work with it.

But calling .link useful at this point is a stretch.

If only there were some existing site where you could search for things and generate relevant results... Maybe one day. But until then, I guess having a site dedicated searching for nurses probably is a great idea.

If you want to really crunch the numbers on this, I'm game. What did you pay to acquire nursing.link? And what would you expect/hope to sell it for?

These details are important since the keyword "nursing" is still available in many other gTLDs, such as .site, .direct, .best, .shop... Some of these are premium registrations, though, so to get a sense whether or not nursing.link is a good investment for you, we need to know what an end user can expect to pay for it compared one of the many other viable alternatives. And also what profit you stand to make from the sale.

I feel like you could just write Bulloney's posts with an AI script at this point.

Start with a little name dropping.

Mix in how you are so great with some accomplishments from decades ago, all of which are irrelevant to domain investing.

Throw in a few catch phrases like "Stay tuned. ", or "much to your chagrin", "Au Contriare Mon Frere", ".link is no worse than .com", etc.

Then you are all set.
