domain TESTMY.IQ

[Saif Al Mashhadi]

Great domain hack. Should get good money from the right buyer. Everyone wants an IQ test done and this is a really descriptive domain hack.

Anyway, you wanted an appraisal.

IQTest.LINK for under $10 is worth more.

Thanks I really appreciate your opinion

 

[-EM-]

You have opened my eyes. All these years working as a full time domain investor, and nobody ever told me there were more than 3 TLDs in the world. Thank you! Thank you! Let me kiss your hands!!!



.IM isn't relevant and gets in the way. I'm confident that 99% of the general public would prefer TestMy.IQ as an intuitive domain name to "test their IQ" rather than the nonsense you claim to find preferable:

TestIQ.fr
(as if the ccTLD for France were ideal for an English SLD?)

TestIQ.im
(instant messaging IQ tests? Huh?)

TestIQ.pm
(only in the afternoon?)

TestIQ.re
(for realtors?)

TestIQ.li
(You're seriously proposing an abbreviation for the world's tiniest country, Liechtenstein, as being more meaningful for IQ tests than the letters "IQ" themselves?)

Some domainers are so eager to find fault with other people's domains that they go out of their way to make ridiculous assertions.

@-EM-

Come on! Any fool can see that "Test my IQ" is a natural phrase whereas "IQ Test Li" is gibberish.

Being sarcastic won't make you smarter, probably the opposite (.... cough couch)
If you don't understand someone's statement doesn't mean it is nonsense or ridiculous.
I don't know how natural to you is "test my iq", but IMO it doesn't really make sense. Test your iq has more sense.
BTW it is IQ TEST not test iq and still I repeat myself I'd rather get the alternatives mentioned above, than test my .iq
Here are some results about the Avg monthly searches on google.
test my iq - 2900
iq test (france) - 1900 The number of french people who search "iq test" is comparable with random people worldwide who search "test my iq".
iq test (worldwide) - 823000
test iq - 60500

I don't see the point to continue posting here, everything is clear already.
All that time wasted as full time domainer and FYI, Liechtenstein is not the smallest country in the world.

I may agree with you that Iraq unstable country , but .iq ccTLD are stable

The fact that .iq names haven't been stolen or deleted yet doesn't matter, as ccTLD investments are made on the strength and stability of the country.

This fact might well be referred to as Domain Investment 101 - Fact 1, and you should understand and agree with it if you hope to be taken seriously...

Argumentative, pompous posturing is no substitute for a sound argument. The mark of any mature intelligent person is a calm willingness to be disproven.

When someone feels the need to thump his chest about "This fact" ... or stick his index finger in someone else's face about "Fact 1" ... or insist that "You should understand and agree with [me]" ... or walk away in a huff announcing "everything is clear" ... or condescend to others, implying that they don't deserve to be "taken seriously" ...

Then you forfeit the right to be taken seriously yourself. Even if you bring up good points, you end up looking juvenile.

Take that for what it's worth, if the shoe fits.

It is clear that you are a very sensitive and emotional person, and i'm sorry that you are that way and feel the need to have a go at me and my perfectly reasonable and helpful comment.

Hardly. I just believe children like you are our future.

Imageauthors, please ignore all of my comments in the future - I have no desire to engage in any kind of conversation with you.

@dnrevolution,

Can't take criticism?

Honestly, I'm all over the place in the domain industry. It's a very small community, really. So it makes sense to shake hands and move forward. Otherwise, we'll be crossing paths all the time; and that might be upsetting for you if you're the kind of guy who holds grudges.

Shake?

I don't deal in .net domains, or low value names, so I very much doubt that our paths will cross! As I say, please respect my wishes..

@dnrevolution,

That's not how things work. If you comment in public -- and this forum IS public -- then anything you say is fair game for comment. I see no reason whatsoever to tiptoe around you or anybody else.

Once you calm down, you ought to realize that you're overreacting. And that's ok. The backlash against my "low value domains" is a clear sign that you feel hurt. But when you prance around as a brand-new domainer making absolutist claims and denigrating others, you are going to be criticized. You won't survive this industry with such a thin skin, my friend.

I'm going to reach out my hand for that hand shake via PM. A gentleman with real confidence and humility will accept that.

Imageauthors, I have not pranced around anywhere. All of my comments on this forum have been very helpful and constructive, which is more than can be said for yours.

As for your comment about being a "brand new domainer", that only relates to this forum, and not my experience generally. I know that you, along with many of the other walter mitty domainers on this forum, often want to use the term "newbie" as a kind of weapon against newcomers to domaining... but it won't wash with me.

Also, many of the newest members on this forum, for example, are showing the kind of insight that makes you look entirely obsolete... so much for the years of experience in domaining, huh?!

You are coming across badly, as someone very insecure.

I would suggest for your own reputation, if you do intend to spit and flail, to do so privately in response to the courteous PM I sent you.
