.tv .TV Truth and Lies

[ChicagoLife]

.TV will it be big now or in the long term?

I changed this posed because some people understand about what I am trying to express and some don’t. I don’t need to make anomies I want to make friends that will work together to make .TV strong.

My strong believe is that .TV will be Big but not now It is a long term investment and that’s Y we need to work together to get .TV bigger ASAP.

So to all Have a happy holidays.

agree with you chicago- i just posted just about the same thing- not sure what you mean about posts with false advertisments tho

 

[jeffoverman]

good write up chicago.....people that come to .tv threads each day and etc for the most part they know were only in the first inning and its a long process and a long time.

development is number 1 way to go....however I am lucky and can say ppc is doing very well for me .tv names....there getting uniques, type in traffic and ad revenues....i know i cant develope all my names, lol..would even be more in the poor house.

I am dying to see a succesful .tv domain auction in 2008....thats what i want to see for next year and its a success......sales, sales growth, branding are not ahead of the auction topic....they will continue to grow i believe....we need moniker to like .tv and dedicated sales......its this verisign issue thats impacting this and whats the renew expense i believe

Chicago can you explain more about the people or the threads where users are building up .tv with false advertisement & making out its the best thing since sliced bread......etc

If you dont want to name any NP members who you feel have done this then maybe point us to a thread and i will try give my opinion. I feel too many NP members feel they can buy any old .tv and sell it for 10x next month and feel there is gonna be a lot of losers when renewal time is here but i havent noticed the 'fasle advertisements about .tv being the best thing since sliced bread....etc"

I guess i would come into the bracket of a NP member with many thousand dollars invested and i will tell nobody to buy into .tv and make easy money. I dont think there are many domains left worth anything at all, even the good domains that were available 6 months+ ago are struggling to get any interest so if you buy to flip then forget .tv!

On the otherside of the coin:
I LOVE .tv, feel it will do great as an extension and will become 2nd most valuable & most used after .com but only IF we give it time.

No fasle advertising, no trying to make out .tv is the best thing since sliced bread :td:

By false advertisement I'm saying when someone is trying to make something look better than it actually is just to benefit from it, and he or she dose not care what outcome it will cause in the long run.

Best thing since sliced bread....etc is just what I am saying as an example don’t take it literally. LOL But I appreciate your impute.

 

[smashfactory]

i guess you saw something that got to you ;-( i dont recall such threads ;-( i dont know how they would benefit exactly, i guess unless they were selling a domain? sorry chicago ;-(

 

[equity78]

Please show examples of such threads that are falsely advertising or hyping.

I've been reading a lot of threads that uses post about .TV and a few disturb me. I, as a .TV owner and investor realize the greater potential of .TV and believe that someday it will be big but for now it is just a baby crawling. What disturbs me the most is there are users who are trying to influence other users with false advertisement; why, because they purchased tens of thousands of dollars worth of domain names and now that renewal fees are coming up they need to dump them, so what to do? They are trying to convince users that .TV is the new sliced bread, ladies and gentlemen please don't get me wrong, for right now it is not. Before you will buy .TV you should know that you are buying a long term investment. It will not make you millionaires over night. The only way .TV will be successful is when every owner (end users) will build, optimize and advertise their .TV websites and in the long run when the world will recognize .TV as they recognize .com then you can say that we as a .TV owners succeeded in our venture. For now don't get caught up in the over sell that other users are trying to make you think that if you will be a .TV owner, you will be on the top.

And don’t get me wrong this is my opinion.

I think the real deal is only solid .tv generics will sell for profit in the next couple years, as too many great phrases/ keywordS are still available,
.TV is already huge, I think most of you are already missing the fact and the boat!
last night I spent a couple hours looking thru yahoo search up to page 30ish,
I typed in .tv (Diff results on google, .tv still not indexed well on yahoo, a huge part of the slow down on .tv imo), in that yahoo search, I found many .tv sites being used my major media outlets in the states, A great majority by MTV I might add, a couple being .... www.MissInfo.tv and www.YoMomma.tv ( a couple of names I'm sure no .tv investor would have dreamed to snatch up), another couple tv networks using .tv ....VBS.tv, KGWN.tv, CN8.tv, twelve.tv , iOnline.tv , GardenSmart.tv,
Not to mention the amount of Church driven .tv's and and even bigger number of Politic oriented channels!



On the Sports front, the euro football teams are using .tv, goltv.tv , LiverPoolFC.tv, also american sports, MBL.tv (pay per view baseball), RSTN.tv( Kansas City Royals), RacquetballOnline.tv, and well as in pro sports
some are using catchy names such as Kangaroo.tv, Seagull.tv (a name I passed on only a couple months ago), Hook.tv A fishing show.

More big names on .tv Hitchcock.tv (Horror Movies), TommyLee.tv (Rock Star), DepecheMode.tv (rock Group),

I could probably go on for hours which is another good indication :hehe:

And as for the false advertisement I believe that referal starts with channelme.tv platform / ad rev etc. ( I could be wrong, but it comes to mind at the mention)

Chicago, i am not trying to say you are wrong here or such things didnt happen but i would like to know exactly what you are meaning as its all a bit vague.

I see what you & Smah were trying to say in this & her thread that we should try see both sides of the .tv debate and not only believe the hype but i'm not sure on a few things you said until you clarify.

mckennaronnie o no no no I am not trying to say that you are saying something bad about me. I admire every user that is giving his opinion, and as long as it is truthful I age with all and would newer try to under mine anybody.

yomomma.tv is FUNNY- i didnt know mtv was doing that- they also have acceptable.tv- they seem to like tv

 

[equity78]

For the second time please give examples of threads falsely advertising or hyping the extension.

For the second time please give examples of threads falsely advertising or hyping the extension.

I would love to but I am not about to point any fingers just trying to warn users to be careful, and before buying in to something do research for you self.

 

[equity78]

Well that could have been done without the first paragraph that is accusatory. Secondly that sentiment has been expressed since the forum started.

 

[Dr. Mindwrecker]

This is the .tv forum, this is where you come on the net for .tv so obviously when you come here you are going to get people who are excited about .tv Most of the people who frequent here buy .tv names and are either investing or developing in some aspect about .tv.

Everyone here seems to know the potential of .tv but I dont think there is any false hype here.

You maybe have a few people who might have over paid for some names but they had the disposable income to do it so who cares. There were just as many people who underpaid for good names and got deals. There is always going to be people who spend to much money, but that seems to happen in any extension, not just .tv

Again, I don't think there is any false hype in this forum, anytime someone puts up a crappy reg or a crappy idea in a post there are always people right here ready to remind them how crappy it really is and almost always it is backed up with factual information.

Chicago, did something happen recently to make you feel this way?

No offense but I do not like the title of this post ".tv truth and lies"
Im curious as to who is lying?

 

[TheBulldog]

I think we all pretty much agree on the inflated "visits" on the me.tv platform.

Aside from that, is there ANY other outright fraud that you alluded to?

 

[equity78]

He is not talking about me.tv Bulldog he is talking about posts on NP

 

[TheBulldog]

Pretty sure I read somewhere that you said to contact you about stuff like this. Hmm, maybe it's just me.

 

[equity78]

No one else sees these threads Bulldog it is my opinion and only my opinion that this thread came about after the little spat in the .tv opportunity thread between ChicagoLife and RoughCut. Again before anyone gets crazy I said in my opinion.

confident vs over hype

Hi

Chicago

I am confident in the .tv extension. Sure at times I may hype the extension up at times, I think we have done it at times one way or the other.

If I wasn't confident in the .tv extension I wouldn't have invested in it or be an addicting name pros member and crackberry addict. Sure I have the .com stuff, the foreign extension and of course the .mobi.

But all the extensions I own and my names I love .tv the most. Of course things are small and there are risks to anything.

When a so called .com guy comes in here and his facts are so off based and untrue on .tv of course I can come across the hype but I also know his postings are so out there. One thing he is right on. That's it.

if I wasn't confident in .tv I wouldn't have spent thousands of dollars on just the names and a couple thousand in a developed site that's being pushed back to next year sometime.

I missed the boat on .com names in the 90s or early 2000. I am young, I am willing chase my dreams and rewards with things and .tv is my number one call.

If I fail or we all fail in .tv so we move on and learn from things. People should jump on ricksblog for failure topic. I make mistakes everyday, but at least I am in trying. Failing is not easy to take down. I lost my main customer from new york and a few other offices across the united states on valentines day of this year. Yes it sucked, yes I panic, yes I haven't recovered for it, yes I had of relying on this and my business. So I had a couple of wines that night which I highly not to everyone lol and now I am juggling a dead end night job and getting a few orders here and there. Am I pissed. Sure. Am I sad and down a lot. Yep. But at least I can live with myself knowing at least I tried.


That's what .tv brings to me. Sorry for rambling folks but yes I am confident on .tv and love .tv growth and future. As with anything things have risks. Prime example, If I was liquid in the stock market today I would have bought some bidu puts. Would have made a fortune. Its an opportunity. Just like .tv is and other extensions.

Call me hype, confident, over confident but I am here to stay in .tv and my investments in the area. Sure I did some dumb names. We all have one time or the other.

Chicago, its the holiday time. Enjoy things. Enjoy your branding with Chicago.tv for next year. Reflect and learn. Wish you the very best on your ocean front property name. Call it hype, call it confident. Whichever you call this but I am sticking to my thoughts

Ps thanks tvman in your findings!
