How much are .cc domains worth ? Just wanna know

 

[Trickac14]

elastic.cc is available if anyone thinks its worth regging.

It stands to reason. It is not just Rick that is not doing meaningful development of top names. Many, many, indeed most are top names are not properly developed. Some assume that because SEOdomaining works well on mediocre naames that it must work much better on high quality names. My understanding is that, because of the tough SEO competition, all you do is end up losing much of your parking revenue. The market clearly supports that view. You assert otherwise, you prove it. Lets see some before and after.

It's a simple conclusion that a bag of candy sold is going to generate more revenue and profit than a click through a candy company.
In addition, with Google's option for advertisers to specify whether they would like to in/excluded from advertising on parked sites, the field of available and paying advertisers is going to narrow down, CTR $ values are going to drop subsequently. In addition, Yahoo's recent disallowing of PPC traffic to domains with their ads on it is just furthering the decay of revenue.
For both points, just read through the forum, the parking industry as a whole is hurting, revenue numbers, even for mid level domains are down. I just need to look at my own portfolio, my numbers have disintegrated.
Would i rather park than develop? You bet i would, there's not even one inch of doubt in my mind that i'd rather park. It's the easier way of making money, less time intense and less intense in upkeep. Following keywords and positioning the PPC ads correctly is by far easier than coming up with cool enough content. Unfortunately, that's not really enticing any longer when your CTR $ per click on a domain that deals with travels to Japan is under 10 cents.
I'm not Rick or Frank or Kevin, i, like 99.5% of all other domain owners cannot negotiate with parking companies to give me a bigger slice of the cake, or to apply any form of double standard for me personally and permit me to run PPC traffic to my domains.
Maybe some people should have listened as threads were created that spoke up for a domainer's union to represent us against the non existent transparency, double standards, Yahoo & Google, etc.
Before i'm going off in a totally different direction here:
Development, if done right, will most often generate more revenue than a parked domain. Traffic numbers are more stable, email databases can be reused, cross advertising becomes more effective and the overall exposure of the domain is further increasing the value. This applies especially to domains with extensions other than .com, such as .cc.
Unfortunately, i'm at the office, or i'd start compiling numbers, just writing these lines took me the better part of 1 hour (thanks to countless interruptions).

Perhaps you should get some IDNs. Our PPC for Japan is typically much higher than that. We often get 5 Bucks a click. The average is around 60 cents.

The whole SEOdomainer thing relies on Rank. The bottom line is that if you have a Mega Keyword, getting that Rank is just about impossible, unless you have a business plan and a multi-million dollar budget.

.cc is definitely undervalued in terms of good keyword domains (I like .ws too so sue me).

 

[lilpooh]

And to root for this extension, just look at the ease of typing...just repeat the c, you don't even have to go to the o and m..... :D

Haha, talking about east of typing. I heard from somewhere that it was once marketed as half of .COM.

Imagine splitting the O into half, it's a C! :hehe:

That's not bad at all for just barely more than 1 yr worth of time between the sales!

home.cc is a good sale. What do you think my false <dot> cc is worth? Could be a site about false credit cards.

 

[GF]

Not sure if I'm reporting old news.. But college.cc sold for $3,500.

 

[DADomains]

Can anyone tell me where is the cheapest place to buy .cc right now?

I love Dynadot but even at their bulk prices, it's still $27.99

 

[BitcoinDK]

I just checked GoDaddy and their price is: $19.95

Hmmm... since I am planning on buying a group of them this is still a bit much for my taste. But maybe with a coupon code?

 

[BitcoinDK]

I dont know if these still are valid, but they give discount:
- 20% off if you order for over $100 = gdp0531ac
- 10% off if you order for over $40 = gdp0543m

But as I said I dont know if these are still valid.

Best regards,

Tonight I got:

MexicoCity (2nd largest city in the world)
AntiDepressants (Generic)
RonaldReagan (40th President of the United States)
Lexington (68th largest city in the USA)

Personally, not much luck selling .cc. Just holding now...waiting for the big offer. Got a stash renewing every year.

 

[BitcoinDK]

Im surprised this one was avaliable "RonaldReagan"?

BTPS7 is a still-valid code for 20% off a $50+ order.
