***Tube.coms?

[scarecrow]

are tube.coms selling well right now and are some of their prices justified?
i just had an idea about a tube name, but i dont wanna end up developing it....
any suggestions or ideas while buying tube names or advice to buy or not?

Most tubes blatantly infringe on copyrights. They are lawsuits begging to happen.

i dont get it, isnt the word tube in general mean the TV and no way related to youtube?

in what way are you implying are they TM infringements?

Sold JobsTube.com for mid $xxxx

I would rather have PornKeyword.com for cheaper, or FreePornKeyword.com for much cheaper.

There is nothing $35K special about a domain just because it ends with "tube"
The domain didn't even show much traffic. It looks like it got about 2300 Hits/Month.

FreePorn is a 100% Match for the search "Free Porn" that explains that price. If you are going to expand it to three words though there are any number or prefixes or suffixes that could replace "Tube".

i agree with you
but i was explaining why this 2 word search term, was rather unique and in this case its rather the 3 million or 35k if you are set on those words
the search engines would treat very well if developed. seems to be getting some traffic parked also

having said that i too would rather get a brandable one word and spend the cash on promotion or other stuff and great development

at the end of the day, if you get lucky, and site takes off and is dveloped well and you can promote on other bisy sites. abything memorable tube or anything without tube can do well

fact of the matter is there are tons of word tube sites doing phenomenally well

look at eskimo tube for example. its adult and nothing to do with eskimos.

truth is the most successful sites have always been regfee anyway.
its not the boots, its the boy in the boots :bingo:

but a great domain certainly helps

Your opinion doesn't really weight much does it?

I'm confused now with the OP.

we sold jumbotube.com for $3500

the google searchers are now trained to append "tube" onto their queries - they are great brand names for seo

SurfersTube dot com was the first domain I ever registered a bit over 3 years ago before I even knew about domaining (registered it for personal reasons). However a few months ago I received an offer for $4,000 and accepted. Was very happy but that's the only tube domain I have ever owned.

Tube names have now become generics IMO, expect to see more monster sales with the right prefix.

well i just registered DefenseTube.com, what do you think?

www.PortugalTube.com

 

[trendicator]

www.PortugalTube.com

nice tube name...

i myself have got quite a few tube names as well...including pianotube.com...lonelytube.com...

i think in general adult tube names are doing a lot better

 

[Pred]

yeah, i agree adult ones are doing best
i have a few

with the country tube ones though, they are highly desirable imo and what better than for a country portal to launch, with just people from a country communicating, and most content, travel etc about that country? a really focussed tube site, but with a huge subject area is ideal imo.

im always more interested in enduser sales though, so im happy to wait for an enduser to seek out the name and its potential


you're leechtube could get u a big payday one time

we sold jumbotube.com for $3500

thats great news for my country tubes
i may have to develop one or 2

awesome. will try that.
is it free? to use with your own domain or do they charge for that

 

[Timewarp]

Its free to use your own domain but you are required to have 2 adsense banners and they keep half of the impressions.

cheers
k seems fair. so their adsense and they pay you half?

i just noted most people are using as subdomains on magnify.net, i thought u may have to pay to use your own domain.

i can t seem to find any info on how to go about. guess i'll sign up and have a muddle through . bit hungover lol
:tri:
cheers

Has nothing to do with the name and everything to do with the content of the site. youtube and adult tube sites are all infringing on millions of copyrights. People in the adult community are especially pissed as the tube sites are giving everything away for free and people claim they are ruining sales and stealing their valuable content.

you enter your adsense id and they show it half the time - so you get paid directly into your existing asense account. you can also add your own monitization options like affiliate products and stuff and keep 100% of that.

there is no charge to use your own domain, they tell you how to do it in the forum and faq.

if you want more features there is also ning.com but they charge for using your domain as well as other things. they have some nice community features at ning that magnify doesnt have.

there was a thread about this in the tv forum here that compares them along with some other options.

Id say magnify.net for quick sites
ning.com for long term investments
