.tv .tv 101/.tv developers hot list

[equity78]

We have had the .tv forum now for 8 months, it has evolved into being thee place on the internet to discuss .tv domains, and has been by bar the greatest source of info. In fact DOT TV corp has learned things form this thread, so thanks to all who contribute here and make this place a great place.

.tv basics

1) Proper selection

you have to be more spot on on .tv then other exts, If you think you have to have a name that goes with the .info ext then you really have to with the .tv. Ratio for non premium names is 4 to 1 Reg fee .com $7 Reg Fee .tv $30 SO when you buy a .tv it comparable to regging 4.coms. SO if you mess up with a .tv name it would be like 4 bad .com regs. For Newbies looking at .tv and getting interested UNDERSTAND THIS be careful you will not sell a .tv to another DOMAINER in 99.9% of the time. FIRST off the % of DOMAINERS that like and or Understand .tv is far less than that of .com. Do not buy a name just because you like the sound, think it through;
a) WHAT are the uses of this name in development ?
b) WHO are the realistic possible end users ?
c) Do I know how to contact them ?
d) You will Not be able to put up for sale in Auction and get your full money back.
e) Do you have the budget to renew each year if you are just holding for
investment.

2) Development non Premium Names/Generics
If you are not going to develop a domain in the .tv ext it probably is not worth buying. Example a name like FunnyShow.tv may go with the extension and you may decide you are not going to develop it and just wait for an end user to come along. In the .tv end user field these tend to be large entertainment and broadcast companies. THey will have the budget to get the Premium generic Category leader. They have the budget to buy Comedy.tv

If you develop it you got into the same industry without the big money outlay and are ahead of the game. So while I think we have a lot of names getting regged here that technically " go with the ext" They need to be developed, there is no sense in regging 30 of them. That is $900 a year in reg fees for names that will have low demand end user wise and very little if any PPC.


3) Premium Domains
Do not always dismiss the notion about premium domains $500 is a lot I agree and if you only going to own 1 or 2 .tv then it makes sense to avoid them. But many will reg 15 to 30 non premiums that unless they have development plans for might be better going with 1 or 2 premium .tvs ( there are a few tricks in saving some $ when regging premiums. I do not mean getting a discount from emailing .tv they are not given on the $500 names, just send a pm if needed)
Premium .tvs do get traffic ask JOHNTV, ELequa, MrsJello to name a few.

4) Have a game plan
Before you reg know exactly what you want to do with the domain, see the site built and all it would include then reg the domain.
Four things to do with a domain :

FLIP IT and doubtful you will with a .tv
PPC IT
DEVELOP IT
INVESTMENT waiting for end user (Premium or Generic)

Try to pick names that are intuitive to the .tv extension sweatsocks.tv is not a good name no matter how much overture or google.


We may be close to having .tv regs avail on NP RJ and I working on this right now and we may get a np logo with a link to this thread on www.tv


Thank you .tvers

I was using Joomla......I am switching over to e107. Instead of hunting for packages and going through some of the painful learning curves, e107 has almost all you could think of built in from the start.

 

[Makis.TV]

last time i checked with e107 i had troubles finding support and help files,
besides that it was clear that e107 has many impressice feautures

 

[TheBulldog]

You may want to check again. I have been using it with no problems lately on version 0.7.8

try e107.org for any help you need.

you can embed videos from any source imaginable e.g. youtube.

however, what remains to be seen is a free php-based extension that can make a video submission system like portlandmaine.tv has.

I think portlandmaine.tv is running the following script:

http://www.buyscripts.in/youtube_clone.html

Seems OK, but lacks ability to post content from YouTube or others.
So only good if you want to host videos yourself - and have cheap bandwidth.

Do you know scripts which allow to post content from Youtube ?

And why is this thread not alive, it is not good for tv domains.

No offense, But this should be a thread for TV developing, instead of website promotion.

Is it do able?

Hi,

I own medicalmalpractice.tv.

I am not a developer, but I want to develope this domain. It is parked at godaddy.

What I am thinking about doing is transferring to enom and using the social networking tools there. What I want to do is approach medical malpractice attorneys in all 50 states and offer them the right to exclusively advertise, upload information videos about their practices for a monthly or yearly fee. One practice per state.

What do you think? Opinions and advice welcomed.

To me, the site name makes it sound like one of those reality shows you see on TRuTV. People uploading their videos to show off the medical malpractice issues they're claiming. I think you're more likely to get angry people who want to show the world their scar than lawyers to pay to post.

No pun intended, but the legal issues involved in posting legal info from a lawyer seems like it would be complicated.

 

[jlc]

Thanks for posting DDC.

I visited you tube and typed in medical malpractice. There are some very informational videos on medical malpractice posted by attorneys. Which I could just grab but it would be free advertising for them. Since I could control who adds video, seems to me I could charge for the exclusive right? No?

It would not be a place to show case the victims complaints it would be to help them find a medical malpractice attorney.

p.s my husband was a victim of medical malpractice.

Jlc start an individual thread for this as more people will see it and can comment
