domain Wireless.IM + other premium IM related keywords

[cambkey]

As you will probably have seen in several threads on the forum, the Isle of Man has just made their second level .im domain available and i managed to pick up the following other premium Instant Messaging related keywords:

Wireless.IM
Mobile.IM
Software.IM
Security.IM
Messenger.IM
Video.IM
Web.IM
Buddy.IM
Lan.IM
Server.IM

I also got:

Free.IM
Download.IM
Forum.IM
Blog.IM
Inter.im

Lovem or Hatem? What value would you appraise these at? All opinions appreciated

 

[jandy]

not all ccTLD have value...
$xx-xxx

U've got some nice ones......Got to see how .IM will perform

 

[texasgamer]

Very Good Names!!! I like the .im extension!
These valuable keyword names (imho) are easily worth into the x,xxx range right out of the box...
Don't listen to the naysayers! I think your sitting on some gold...lol

 

[thetzfreak]

Wow, the keywords are very nice! I can't really tell you how much they're worth, though, because I have no experience with .im. But, having one word domains are always good

Good luck!

IMO, the best ones you have are:

Mobile.IM
Software.IM
Web.IM
Free.IM
Download.IM
Blog.IM

Especially Web.im...that's a difficult word to get in an extension. I'd say for that you're looking at mid to high $xxx, and probably about low to lower-mid $xxx for the others mentioned above. The rest are reg fees to high $xx at most.

All appraisals for .im's are complete guesses.

Just hold on to them and try to find someone who will pay what you want for them.

Definitely there are very remote chances that the extension would be growing off, Best thing to do is develop them and keep a hold of them 4 as long as you either start making some good revenue or some one buys it off from you.You were smart enough to register cool domains and then break out the news :D.

Software.im
Download.im
Web.im
Mobile.im

Forum.im was in my cart at some time but i then let it go :D.Best of luck.

I think after the dust settles then things are going to be looking pretty good for anyone that grabbed any of the Top Keywords!

 

[worldstar]

mobile.im is going to worth some money. IMO

I agree... Mobile.im and Wireless.im are two of the best keywords available for the exts secondary (soon to be primary?) meaning of "instant messaging". I wanted VOIP.im sooooooo baaad, but that's the way the cookie crumbles! I opted for WIFI.im but I know for a fact it's not as strong!

You've got some real nuggets there!

 

[AdoptableDomains]

You got some of the ones I would have (and tried to) pick. Nice picks.

I think it's too early to tell what will happen with .im. Speculators would rather pick the many still available domains rather than buy secondary already. I think it will take a couple months for things to kick in on resales. However, I think this has almost as much promise as .tv in targeting to a specific media. In that regard, you have some real winners.

thanks All for taking the time to appraise. rep added.

Effectively I had second run at this domain (poker, casino, business, www, chat, enterprise and corporate had already gone) due to the poor publicity of its launch

It was like being a kid in the candy store, only the candy was 70 bucks a pop.

I went down the Instant Messaging route because I thought this was a pure branding play like TV, FM and AM as the island only has 70,000 inhabitants (the islanders themselves have hardly bought any)

so music, games, hotel, golf were all there and I passed. Time will tell whether I went the right way but hey at least I got the opportunity to make that choice

i think mobile.im is a very nice name
