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

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.

Same here.

It is like Quantum Leap, but with domain extensions. Jumping from extension to extension, hoping the next leap will be the one.

.Online, .Realty, and many others come to mind.

Even if .link becomes popular, it is only going to be high quality single word terms like with .XYZ. No one is going to be lining up to buy marginal terms in secondary extensions.

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.

.Link is far closer to .Horse than it is to .Com.

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.

Yeah.....i paid $116 for it, and it renews annually for $116. As for what we expect to sell it for that depends on what we might consider it's best use. This is where my business experience and background come into play. With there being 27 Million nurses worldwide you might say the world is my oyster btw, one can buy Nursing.site for $640 at Name Silo and it renews for $640 annually. There are some funkier gTLD's you can get a little cheaper like Nursing.golf, but like I said they're funky.

Joe...you can play around with it all you want, but be assured that your and my marketing approach are as different as night and day. Remember, i'm not your typical domainer nor do I care to be

WOW Joe.....both NurseSearch.com and NurseFinder.com are for sale, and you can buy NurseFinder.com from Venture for $315 a month. You gave me a good idea Joe so I just registered NurseSearch.link and NurseFinder.link but I may have paid too much for them at 2 Bucks each.

btw, you've never seen sites where you simply key in your zip code and the site connects you to every nurse within 10K? Joe, i know you knew that

What did you think of WOW.link Brad? I guess you weren't aware that I own about 100 "high quality single word" .link domains...."that's even .link becomes popular"

Sure, high quality single word terms have at least some potential.

DatingNews.xxxx
BuilderNews.xxxx
WeedNews.xxxx
ComputerNews.xxxx
MillennialNews.xxxx
plus 50 more

These types don't. These type of terms are essentially worthless in any extension other than .COM.

GoDaddy has nursing.site for $350 CAD and then $550 annual renewal. So perhaps that's a good one for comparison?

If we assume the industry standard sell-through rate of 2% (max), then ideally you'll want to sell nursing.link for at least $5,000. You'd probably even want to adjust that upward, though, considering the premium renewal and the fact that the standard STR may not apply to ngTLD names (even strong single words), and even more likely not to .link names.

So if you go with, say, $6,000 as your minimum acceptable sales price, what sales pitch are you making to potential buyers who might be considering a name like nursing.site (since even after 10 years, they'll have spent less on the .site name than the .link)?

I usually just type what I'm looking for into Google Maps, which does the same thing and also gives you step-by-step directions with the tap of a button.

Is that your best use case for nursing.link?

First....regardless "industry standard" of a sell-through rate of 2% (max) is a joke just like you asking $150,000 for TCRtherapy.com. This is very similar to Go Daddy attempting to sell me Reservations.online for 500K right after the thieves at GD stole it from me. Also, in case you hadn't noticed, .LINK may have some added value once the new owners unveil their plan to include "Link in Bio". As for the sales pitch to potential buyers, educating "end users" about the greed in the domain industry will be both subtle and motivational.

We also happen to own Chocolate.link while chocolate.com really isn't in play, and

• The global chocolate market size was valued at USD 130.56 billion in 2019 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.6% from 2020 to 2027.

btw, the renewal rate for Chocolate.link is $116 as well.....isn't this FUN Joe.

"Is that your best use case for nursing.link?" .....most likely not Joe, but it was your idea

 

[Joe N]

First....regardless "industry standard" of a sell-through rate of 2% (max) is a joke.

I assume that means that your STR has been much higher? Do tell.

As for the sales pitch to potential buyers, educating "end users" about the greed in the domain industry will be both subtle and motivational.

That was your same pitch for your .online names. How are those selling?

btw, the renewal rate for Chocolate.link is $116 as well.....isn't this FUN Joe.

I'm certainly having a good laugh!

 

[Joe N]

joke just like you asking $150,000 for TCRtherapy

I didn't start a thread asking to discuss my names, and your opinion on them is worth about as much as your .link names.

 

[ThatNameGuy]

I didn't start a thread asking to discuss my names, and your opinion on them is worth about as much as your .link names.

so you take offense at my saying asking $150,000 for TCRtherapy is a joke......i'm sorry Joe, but it really is a joke just like Go Daddy trying to sell me a domain they originally sold me (Reservations.online) for $5, then after the thieves took it back they tried to sell it back to me for $500,000.

Now lets get back to Nursing.link Joe. I tend to do a lot of research around domains I own or domains I'm looking to buy. You suggested that Nursing.site would make for a good comparison and I don't disagree. I'm actually considering buying it for reasons you probably won't/can't relate to unless you go to the website TheNursingSite.com. Joe you can't possibly get inside my head, few people can, but I see possibilities most people don't see like there are most likely 20 nurses of all kinds in my neighborhood consisting of 400 homes. Why might this be important?....just think about it

Joe....i just checked Google Maps and the only nurse I was able to locate nearby is in Kansas What gives with that?

I'd have to care to be offended. If I wanted an opinion, I'd ask a successful domain investor that I respect. Speaking of, you should go check out Brad's AMA thread. You might learn something.

You see lots of possibilities, I'll give you that. We just haven't seen any follow-through.

Five years domaining
200 projects started and discussed
Zero projects completed
Zero confirmed sales

Try looking for hospitals and clinics, Rich.

 

[ThatNameGuy]

Plenty of hospitals and clinics Joe, but NO nurses You may have to check out Nursing.link, i hear every nurse imaginable is linked there

I'm sure you'll have it off the ground in no time, and then I can check it out.

 

[ThatNameGuy]

What do you mean? People love non-intuitive brands! They're super accessible and desirable.

We can all hash it out in the new user group which is definitely being created. When Rich says he's going to do something, he does it! No false starts here, just 100% pure follow-through.

Joe....you're spot on While awaiting financing our "users group" is already underway. We have a "staffing organization" and a "healthcare group" as part of our team. With names like Nursing.xxxx and GreenJobs.xxxx, you may want to indulge yourself to see how much Buckley Media is asking for GreenJobs.com and then get back to me......think Risk vs. Reward Joe

In keeping with the topic of this thread I just hand registered Sharktooth™.link to compliment Sharktooth®.club. Any idea why I might do this Joe? Do you have any shark teeth in Canada

Canada's famous for its sharks, Rich. I can't believe you didn't know that.

Well done creating that users group! Even if no one on NP has ever seen it, I'm sure it exists.
