New gTLD sales: Sex.Live: $160.000 / Porn.Live: $120.000
The future will be good for good new gTLDs.

This is absolutely, no doubt, a fake sale.
If you're skilled in web development you immediatly discover that sex.live and porno.live are 2 crappy whitelabels sites build with chaturbate.com whitelabel program (days ago with aweempire.com withelabel).
If someone has a big money to spend in these crappy domains, he also have the money (XXX.XXX$) to build a custom, from scratch, with last technologies webcame site.
He does not use a silly chaturbate whitelabel (in 2016 a whitelabel???).
But... You can belive there is a money exchange between register and """"buyer"""", you can't see their bank account, but you can see the site, if they invest money in web development.
And they invest 0$.
0$ in development and 120.000$ + 160.000$ for domain names?? LOL!!!

PS: chaturbate withelabels are banned by google. Good investment with 300k!

The owner of chaturbate is the owner of sex.live and porn.live.
Chaturbate is big and they have money and a domain like porn.live is a super domain for sex cam sites.
You can think what you want my friend.
For market sales are sales.
And the market is stronger than you and me...

About sex.live and porn.live fake sale my POV.......

If you spend a tons of money for domain names composed only for the words "sex" and "porn", your goal is to be ranked in google for the keywords "sex" and "porn", right?
Well, if you use this kind of project (whitelabel) google banned you, and you'll never ranked and appear in SERP.
At this point, there is no difference if you have sex.live or thisisacrappydomain.com, for google is the same, you're banned.
Why spend 300k in domains that will never rank?

Plus, check this:
sex.live/robots.txt
Result is:
User-agent: *
Disallow: *

And if you check on google: site:sex.live, results in SERP are old, when they use aweempire withlabel, so all links in google are broken and point to a 404 page.

Are you sure the owner of chaturbate is the owner of sex.live?
I don't think so, because days ago sex.live was an aweempire.com whitelabel project, NOW is a chaturbate project.
If you are not sure about your informations, don't write them.


PS: you can build a site like sex.live in 5 minutes, with 0 development skills, 0 hosting plane, 0$. Choose a <1$ domain (xyz/top/men...), change DNS Records A to chaturbate IP, and you are online with your new and amazing site!
With 0.40$ not 300k

You can think what you want about sex.live my friend but in the future there will be many more big new gTLD sales...
Market is stronger than you and me: no one can stop the change...

Is not a sale!! Register (in 5 minutes) switch DNS A Records to chaturbate IP address and they say they have sold their super premium domains for XXX.XXX.
I've 15 years of experience in web development and in 15 years I've never seen a company spend 300k in domain names they can't rank.
If a company spend 300k in domain names, they spend 750.000/1.000.000 to build a project (development, SEO, creatives, marketing, advertising, socials and so so on)!
They have to do it, if they want a decent ROI.
And if they spend 1.000.000 you see the results (a perfect site).
It's impossible you don't understand this simple concept.

 

[garptrader]

I have had end users inquire about pricing on domains and disappear when I quoted a $xxx price. So Lending Club was reported to have paid $25,000 for Lending.Club and the domain does not even resolve. Hmmm...

I have a surprise for you: Pooxi.com sold for $5.000.000 in 2012 (4 years ago and not 1 week ago...). where is the project in this case???Yes, it's in japanese but the first page is always the same for years...
If you don't believe in this sale, is not a problem for me and above all is not important for the market. For market a sale is a sale and that is the important thing...
I have an idea for you: you can open a thread with this title: sex.live sale did not happen. Maybe with a thread with a title like this you can stop the new gTLDs Buzz...

I think that the whole purpose of this thread is that the OP is desperately seeking validation of his own beliefs by more experienced members. That is not working.

We are talking about two different things here:

• domain sales
• adoption by end users (or the lack thereof)

Of course the two are related somewhat. When a TLD is popular among end users, an aftermaket often begins to take shape, but it is more or less modest.
Simply put, there is no aftermaket for new extensions, because a series of fluke sales is not a market.
Flukes happens on a regular basis, in almost every extension...
It is very dangerous to make rules out of exceptions.

I bought a new domain. the domain is: TheNewgTLDsHaters.Club.
The domain is for sale. Anyone???

I bought anther domain. the domain is: WeHaveToStopNewgTLDs.Buzz

I think this is true of the generic extensions(com, net, io, xyz, etc...), but as you know, many of these new GTLDs are not generic. The majority of the new GTLDs will have a limited number of keywords that work well with the extension. The names that do work will be useful, and I believe one day will be recognized as premium names by end users. But these limited quantities of relevant names to each extension will not lead to separate aftermarkets for each GTLD. ALL of the new non generic TLDs should be considered to be in a single pooled aftermarket.

My friend, you forget something: this is just the beginning for the new gTLDs buzz...

 

[Wass]

RE.Agency sold for only $6.000
Sincerely this is not a huge sale. Next sale will be better...

 

[ZapNano]

@Wass you just like an energetic domain bunny; you keep going, going and going. You had stayed tall and keep your coolness throughout; great sport!

Personally I'm unstoppable but this is not important... Important thing is that the new gTLDs Buzz is unstoppable...

 

[venkatvenz]

I don't agree that future is good. The new gtld's have been introduced for many purposes and to increase the relevancy of the domain names purpose mostly.

Google’s John Mueller recently quoted that "our systems treat new gTLDs like other gTLDs (like .com and .org). Keywords in a TLD do not give any advantage or disadvantage in search."

Which simply doesn't even resolve the purpose of why it is actually formed. More over other than google if there is a new search engine going to make an impact which will have an algorithm written to make the search optimization with regards to the new gtld's! That day not going to come really soon.

If I would like to remind you that there are research going on currently where the new way to completely to replace the currently DNS system. I am not sure that it might replace the the DNS in a particular period of time but it might impact the domain name industry a lot if that happens.

Think of a way where you will access all web pages in the internet without using a domain name through an alternative way. This might sound funny or you might think crazy. But when the host.txt files were used and the IP address were on place Paul V. Mockapetris thought out of the box to come up with DNS. So if someone comes up with a better options it might take over as well.

I repeat this good example because I have not yet received answers:

360Berlin.net = 360.Berlin
Who is better: 360.Berlin or 360Berlin.net?
Who is better: 360.Berlin or 360Berlin.com?
No match for me: the winner is 360.Berlin and for you?
Can you forget a domain like 360.Berlin???

I have heard this thing but it's not true.
I also have a website (new gTLD) and I am sure that is not true.

It's simple:
if you search in google XXX you will see many .XXX domains in the first pages.
if you search in google PORN you will not see many .XXX domains in the first pages.

.berlin is a GeoTLD not a new gTLD. This thread isn't about whether GeoTLDs may or may not have a bright future.

Besides your example is nothing more than a matter of taste. Personally I prefer 360berlin.com. The people in Berlin may prefer 360.berlin and anyone outside of Berlin may prefer 360berlin.com. Who knows. I have no statistics on this. But in the end all that matters for any investment is making personal sales. Making a profit.

You repeating the same gTLD registry sales over and over again (not a single domainer made any money with these sales obviously) will not magically create a domainer aftermarket for the new gTLDs. The only thing that can create an aftermarket is end-user acceptance. Sure there are a couple of fluke end-user sales (keeping in mind that the registry is usually the seller here, not a domainer) but as many already mentioned you have fluke sales in any extension. There's over 23 million gTLDs registered so far and only a handful of sales. Assuming one gTLD domain sells for every 100,000 registered are those the kind of odds you would use to invest an entire porfolio in?

Yes my friend, .Berlin is a GeoTLD but .Berlin is also a new gTLD.

I never claimed I was an expert. But I have a feeling you aren't either based on most of your comments
