7777777.tv 77777777.tv ? spooky ,odd name being regd but why.
very odd .1000000.tv..

 

[kubativity]

These names make sense in .COM because you will get traffic from people just screwing around and typing this in the browser.

I doubt, however, that there is any value to these sorts of names in .TV or any other extension.

 

[hullswingerscom]

7777777.tv 1000000.tv both same site .all very strange.maybe these are the names of the future.but why so many chinese go for these type names ?

 

[gwkg]

The names are popular in chinese because they are easy to remember and numbers are pretty much the same in every language. Hence 888888.com doesnt look so foreign to them.

Chinese like anything repeating. I have 5 Letter .coms with 2 repeating letters, like cccbb.com (not mine, just an example) making $1+ per day from chinese ppc traffic at parked. Even though c & b are foreign letters, it is probably easier to remember the repeating pattern of two foreign charcters than it is to remember a combination of two or more foreign words.

zzz.tv yes looks like they like names like this..there more of them then us......must look into this...lol

 

[htmlindex]

Something like 8.tv, 88.tv, 888.tv & 8888.tv would have value, but beyond 4 repeated numbers, I don't see why anyone in their right mind would start regging 8888888.tv

Let me see if I can write about 400 random words about this.

People reg crap because crap rolls downhill. You see, much like in the corporate world, you delegate to the lowest level. So at the top you have the CEO of the domaining world. That guy owns lots of things, but he got to the top because he knew the best way to control sex.com. His salary is based on this formula: Teenage boys+Parents Gone+Access to internet=random searches and clicks at sex.com.

Below him, are the upper managers. They control the next level of domains. Your 4-5 letter generic .coms, your three letter .coms, and a whole lot of porn sites. They make their money on the porn sites that the teenage boys eventually end up on.

Next is middle management. They run the .net area. They dabble a bit in the .com 6-10 letter generics. They make their money selling pictures of their "cousins" to the porn sites.

Below that is lower management. These are the guys that actually run the show. They do the hard work, they scramble with designs, they actually control the guys who build the websites. The handle the two word generic .coms, the ok .nets, and a whole bunch of deviant porn sites that the upper management don't want to get involved with. They make there money from subscriptions to their porn sites by the upper management.

Then there are the worker bees. They do a alot of networking, own LLLL.coms, some great nets, a whole lot of info and sometimes get a decent porn site going. They make their money selling a few, a bit of adsense, and dumb luck. They control the middle market of sites worth about $450 and up to $8000. They make their money sending referrels to porn sites.

That leaves the people that clean the toilets and take the trash out. They register nonsense, but have the occasionally good month with a few names that were random. They make random sales from $1 up to $449. They may get the occasional $3500 dollar sale, but it is only enough to make them keep registering things that are weird or so random that no one else would touch it.

Crap rolls downhill. By the time it gets to the bottom, people are desperate. They look at one trend and take it to extremes. 888888.tv is an extreme that is unlikely to get the guy that cleans the toilets willing to pay $1 for it.

Chinese people register these type of names because of their faith in Chinese Numerology.

Telephone number 8888-8888 was sold for USD$270,723 in Chengdu, China.
The Summer Olympics in Beijing are scheduled to open on 8/8/08 at 8:08:08 p.m.

Yup Chinese very superstitious - like lucky numbers - 8 is a lucky number - so presumably eight 8s is 8 times more lucky and 888 times 8 is even luckier but you would have a hard time fitting into your address bar - so maybe they will figure out how to write 8888tothepowerof8 - in fact I might even register that one myself ! Why on earth they register all the other numbers I don't know - presumably some of them are very unlucky

Thanks. Someday, I will present my theories of internet porn to the American Medical Association. I expect a pulitzer.



Let's be realistic, broadband? You may as well say "built for porn"

Try Harvard Business School because its not as silly as it seems.

At every turn of the internet almost since inception, it has been the pornographers who have been at the cutting edge on how to monetize it.

Teenage boys+Parents Gone+Access to internet=random searches and clicks at sex.com.

A classic summary of the domaining industry, well done.

It reminds me of a friend's circumspect deduction that the main problem with humanity these days is that we've killed off most of our natural predators, so the herd never gets thinned out.

Oh, there's the occaisional idiot that goes swimming in shark infested waters, or leans over the bear pit dangling a steak, but for the most part, those that would normally get themselves removed from the gene pool by wandering out into the woods and getting eaten are actually reproducing.

Thats why I kill off my weaker brain cells with an overabundance of wine, only the strong survive therefore drinking makes me smarter???
