My wishlist, to buy or not to buy?

[srisri24]

Hi all,

There are quite a few domains with good keywords on my list for quite some time. But many of them are ".info"

do you guys suggest me to buy them or not?

Pm me the list, thats the only way i can help.

PM only those you trust not to register your GOOD KEYWORDS. No offense Raja, just trying to look out for the guys trying to learn without getting taken advantage of...not that you are or that you would.

My advice is look at the .com first, then .net, .org, etc, and then the .tv counterpart.

See what others with the same keywords are doing...just my two cents. If you like their models for monetization, then maybe they are not bad keywords...

Thanks Hotnames Rep++, is it worth registering, info domains?

Absolutely! If you can get keywords in the .info extention, I would definately get them & it's a cheap extention to buy as well

Great question. Before I can answer you should know that I am biased toward .tv and .com.

.Com only because it was first and .tv because of the inherent branding advantage the extension has over all others in the video age we live. However, it is still a speculator's game until every person can name one .tv site without thinking.

The first question you should ask yourself is what do you define as a keyword. Keywords mean different things to people. For example, is it a keyword because it sounds brandable or is it a keyword someone would naturally type into their browser looking for some .info site.

Personally, I have never typed a .info site into a browser, but hundreds if not thousands of .tv and .com sites.

If these domains are keywords and they are available, then you should be asking why. Without seeing the names, I cannot tell you whether the previous domainers that came before you simply missed them, or whether they passed them up, or simply never thought of them (either because they aren't keywords or the .info extension has not fallen into mainstream demand as have other extensions).

The one thing I liked about the reply from the previous poster is that he noted that .info names are cheap.

My advice is to be a little clever. Setup a domain parking account if you don't have one. Sedo or parked.com will work. Determine what you need to setup the DNS for the new names to populate using their templates. Then find a registrar like Moniker that allows for bulk registering and domain tasting.

Moniker provides discounts on names to namepros members. I would setup an account and in the admin panel, specify that all domains registered should use the DNS of your parking company. Then use the bulk register feature to register all of your .info names.

Meanwhile, post the names in the appraisals thread immediately after you register them. For the next few days, read the replies to those threads and watch the type in traffic. Hopefully nobody that you request an appraisal from will visit those sites so you can accurately gauge normal/natural traffic patterns. If within the registrar's domain tasting period, you don't like what you hear or see, then you can return the names and get your money back.

Before you register them, you also might want to think how you can monetize them to capitalize on their keyword status. Hopefully your words receive high results in google and overture. That is one measure that domainers use to evaluate keyword acquisitions.

I would love to help out. PM me when you post the appraisal requests and I would be happy to chime in again.

Thanks Hotnames, thats really quite helpful.

You can register a .info for $0.99 at godaddy for the first year, if we have quiet a decent keywords available that fit into the extension, So it should most likely make its 99 cents in the first year. So i wont care to talk abt another extensions who's registration costs more than 6 times of .info. You can then easily decide abt renewals based on each domain's performance at the end of the year

Without seeing the names, I cannot tell you whether the previous domainers that came before you simply missed them, or whether they passed them up, or simply never thought of them (either because they aren't keywords or the .info extension has not fallen into mainstream demand as have other extensions).

I answered to this in a single line " Pm me the list, thats the only way i can help."

Then find a registrar like Moniker that allows for bulk registering and domain tasting.

Moniker provides discounts on names to namepros members. I would setup an account and in the admin panel, specify that all domains registered should use the DNS of your parking company. Then use the bulk register feature to register all of your .info names.

Now dont tell me that you are going to know the potential of these sort of names with in the first 4 days( as if they are typo's). They need some time to get optimized & establish themselves into the seacrh engines, mostly a month.

Meanwhile, post the names in the appraisals thread immediately after you register them. For the next few days, read the replies to those threads and watch the type in traffic.

....to make matters worse and create confusion between the natural traffic and Researching traffic.

Hopefully nobody that you request an appraisal from will visit those sites

If you think so..... ( No offence).

.info's at .99 are a safe gamble, :imho:

Get 100, and all it takes is one or two mediocre sales to break even.

Lather, rinse, repeat

Allan, I think I lathered too much.... Time to jump in the pool and rinse!

.........And thats the summary of it if you have 100 bucks to start with.

 

[IAmAllanShore]

Being quite blunt here: If you do not have $100, you should probably not be domaining. There is a certain amount of "risk-taking" that goes on here, and if you flinch at all at $100 you are going to have a very rough go of things.

[Name Trader]

I can't find 100 vacant .infos to reg. They've all been taken. (Just look in the for sale forums)

 

[SimpleDomaining]

my advice would be only to buy .info if you are going to develope them, because it is not often that info is having a natural type in traffic. just IMHO.

 

[emlindell]

Go for it

Keyword depth rules.

just get some domains and start trying things. You can't lose much if you fail,
the tuition is cheap in domain business to learn.

 

[srisri24]

Hi raja, No hard feekings, Thanks for the help.

Even i think the same that $100, two or three good sales will break even.

And hotnames is also right in longterm investment way.

so i think you both are right. Thanks a lot.
