Here is a potential situation from the future:

- Competing sites at
- newhouses.for.sale
- newhouses.forsale
- new.houses.forsale

And end-user have to try to remember which one is right and most of them will still go for newhousesforsale.com as a default

and houses.com will drive them out of business

 

[DNWon]

Real estate is local, there is a place for all of the above mentioned domains!
Even Houses.com!

Most of these sales are from the registry itself - reserved & premium. Have a doubt these are just change of hands within closed circle to create a hype. Don't find it good news for domainers if only the reserved premium sells. Unless they come clean on their renewal policy and a end user friendly approach, it will neither help them nor domainers.

Just snagged SaleNewFor.House, asking $xx,xxx (see totally similar comps above)

but SaleNewFor.House does not really have any semantic meaning, or does it?

and houses.com will drive them out of business

Lol, I do not have this concern @dordomai

 

[betthelot]

betthelot yes the failing loser domainers are in the death throes...

ha ha ha...... never can grow tired of that joke.

I agree. There are too many ways to research and verify true sales these days. They wouldn't want to ruin their reputation reporting many false sales, in my opinion.

Plus I have very good knowledge of the big videogames sale announced today. It was a domainer/end user purchase if that makess sense. I wrote a pretty in depth article here at my new blog. Give it a read if you get a chance.

Vito,

Congratz on your new blog. It looks good and you chose a great title / subject line..
It will be refreshing to hear another voice speaking for the community, and I know yours will always be responsible, Impartial and subjective.

Good Luck.

Peace,
Kenny

Thanks Vito for a great read, well he has got himself covered up with one of the biggest issue around NGTLDS (Renewals) so i think he'd be fine, best of luck to him hopefully he makes it through to a great site, will need to put in a lot of effort and money over the time though.

Nice post, Vito.

The buyer said he wanted an EMD, is this domain an EMD ? I ask because Google said they don't take the TLD into account.

 

[dordomai]

thinking about it the .net or .org might have been a better and cheaper choice.

Nice post, Vito.

Yes, they relentlessly emphasize that domain names don't matter that much and one Google employee indeed once hinted that the TLD is ignored.

Both is obviously not the case.

I was running a news aggregator on ecommerce.one for a while. Not a single line of unique content, since it was an aggregator only. It ranked on page one for the term "ecommerce one" (which would appear nowhere on the site, but was in the domain name only).

Some random examples:
https://www.google.com/#q=coffee+club
https://www.google.de/?gws_rd=ssl#q=immobilien+dresden (dresden real estate)
https://www.google.de/?gws_rd=ssl#q=fussball+news (soccer news)
https://www.google.com/#q=whisky+auction

Great post Vito,
Congrats to the buyer of video.games - looking forward to seeing this one being built out.

Extensions like .forsale are already on life support. I doubt they will be around in a few years.

How long before we see those names on auction at Namescon (and we have another travel.agency disaster)

How long before we see whole TLDs on auction at Namescon?

This month we had the news of 2 sales that are close to $200,000 (Casino.Online & Video.Games).
It is very difficult to have sales of $200,000 for a .org or a .net.

a newly launched extension can do that easily if hyped a bit:

see music.mobi 600k, sex.xxx $3 million, etc.

problem is hype gets old pretty quickly and you need a new ext soon to repeat.

New gTLD era is a new era and that is what those who continue to speak of .mobi do not understand and they don't want to understand and they will never understand...This is why you do not need to discuss much with them...
For the future of new GTLDs we will see... For now this month we had 2 sales that are close to $200,000 and it is very very difficult to have one sale of $200,000 for a .org or a .net.
