YES! that rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[mckennaronnie]

wow, nice.
I really wish i had looked more at tv.com's :td:

 

[Steven]

I also wish I had looked at more TV.com as well.
I searched through majority of the high priced premium .TV replaced with TV.com, and I could only find very few names that was worthy of TV.com.
Although, there is a chance that I may have missed some gem.

Thanks for the post, great info.

Lance,

I thought it would be a matter of time befor eyou mentioned this so didnt want to steal your thunder.

For a few reasons I invested heavly in TV.COM. Number 1, to bring in an income over the next five years whilst the market adjusts to where i believe Poodleman thinks the end game will be but only in 5 years time in my opinion - with xxx.TV.

Two, until the worldwide audience adjusts to the extension .tv, so that even when they do see just see .TV they still type in tv.com.

Three, so that tese with very strongly vested interests in seeing .TV languish in never never never land dont succeed but if they do, then the value of tv.com rockets....

Four, as with Nuts TV, anyone going to invest big bucks with the premium name, whther the name itself or develoment of the name, will eitther have to make an offer or allow lots of free traffic to my site , whihc is an income stream too.........

some of my favorites, include VETSTV.COM, MEDICOTV.COM, PILLSTV.COM, EIGHTEEENTV.COM, DWITV.COM, RETREATTV.COM, TOBACCOTV.COM, HORTICULTURETV.COM, PUNDITTV.COM, APARTAMENTOSTV.COM, INTERNACIONALTV.COM, CATALOGUETV.COM and of course Lance you have some whales of TV.COM's......

I Would say right now that i see the tv commerciaLs goinG about 50/50 on TV vs TV .com, with the older more established tv statons USUALLY going with TV.COM, which is the preferred way i would like to see the trends.......let the old guys dIe out their days in peace, and then the new guards can come in and take over.

But five years is a long way away still. and this $80,000 lotteryticket will certainly help all those who diversified

Hallelujahtv.com

I've dabbled in Tv.coms my self with Hallelujahtv.com

I actually prefer them to the .TV and I personally think it lends itself to greater type in traffic.

 

[smashfactory]

i've done the same thing- worked both sides- tv.com and tv-

For a few reasons I invested heavly in TV.COM. Number 1, to bring in an income over the next five years whilst the market adjusts to where i believe Poodleman thinks the end game will be but only in 5 years time in my opinion - with xxx.TV.

All very good points and completely agree. Especially pont 2.

and of course Lance you have some whales of TV.COM's......

Thanks Millers. I hope to have some success with them. A few have typein and parking income like EstateTV.com, DiverTV.com, PaparazziTV.com, GraffitiTV.com, RacerTV.com (just saw a program on Discovery caller "Racer TV"), SpeechTV*com (Speech*TV is owned by MS), and a few others. I have a few that don't really get any traffic, but feel they should be winners including a few other sports names Boarders, Boats, JetSki, SkyDive, PingPong, Fans, etc.. and a couple Geos and a couple semi adult Dyke, Coeds... Only time will tell, but at $7.00 vs. $30.00+ per year I like the gamble.

I have interviewstv.com. Anyone care to value that one? I also have interviewedtv.com.

Bought them both as protection for interviewed.tv. Not sure if it was worth it or not.
