Sedo Jobs Auction

[DNProperty.com]

Interesting that Sedo has a dedicated auction coming up in June for Jobs/Career/Employment related domain names. Not quite sure what drove them to do this..

I am excited to see what happens at the auction, considering this is the first dedicated auction in this niche..


Any thoughts...

I am waiting to see if chartered*pro is accepted (as in accountant, engineer).

Very interesting ... if anyone has any links or more information to digest, that would be great - I'll guess that the timing may be right due to the HUGE VOLUMES of active job seekers that are out there at this time (and growing, most likely, through 2010, IMHO). :gl:

Thanks for the post!

Update: you can submit names to "Jobs" auction in the normal Sedo submission interface.

You can submit names from the drop-down menu at the bottom of your Domain Management page, as you would for Premium, TopDomain etc.

There were a couple of names on the listings this morning, perthjobs.com and another one, but they've disappeared:

The first domain they list is a TYPO??? There's only one "r" in Albuquerque.

That's pretty funny (and lame).

You are right...

There are a great many people who are unemployed and looking for jobs, so this may be a great niche to enter.
I don't think there will be too many unemployed people looking at this auction. Many cannot afford to bid at this time. I think the bidders may be those who will use the names to set up sites to promote services to the unemployed.
I was speaking to a friend yesterday who owns a business in Houston, a business related to the oil industry.
She said that it is only recently that the recession/depression, unemployment rate, layoffs, have been increasing, and are effecting her business in Houston.

Earlier today I submitted my Pilots.fr and I haven't received any word that it has been accepted, but when I log into my account I see this name is now unparked and "not for sale"...wtf??

I also took notice to this: "Auction space is limited, so please note that only the following TLDs will be considered: .com, .net, .co.uk, .de, .es, and .fr."

Thats normal, they mark the names "not for sale" until a decision is made. .if they reject it, it will go back to normal settings.

Thank you, DNProperty. This is the first time submitting for one of their auctions, and I've had difficulties with Sedo in the past so I wasn't sure what the heck was going on.

Thanks for posting this! I hadn't even noticed it. I submitted two domains just now. :tu:

I didn't notice it either. Should make for quite an interesting auction given everything going on at the moment.. Good Luck to everyone submitting domains

No problem guys, I found it by chance this morning...

It will be interesting to see what names are being auctioned. Lets hope some end users show up to buy.
