Wealth.com Auction: Reserve Price is $2.9 Million

noreply@blogger.com (Alex) — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 17:39:00 +0000

http://www.sedo.com/links/showhtml.php3?Id=2398&tracked=1&partnerid=&language=us

Prediction: It will not meet the reserve price of $2.9 million.

No one NEEDS wealth.com, there are other alternatives, I'm not saying it will never sell for $2.9 million, it just won't happen now or any time soon.

One day if someone does NEED it, they will contact the owner directly, but there's no one out there right now that just heard about this auction and decided that they NEED this domain name no matter what.

Google v. Yahoo v. Bing

Who has the best search results? Take the blind search test:

http://blindsearch.fejus.com/

Is anyone else concerned by how dependent the internet is on google and its products, from youtube, to gmail, to blogger, its search engine, adsense, adwords, maps, news, finance, etc.

For better or worse, google's algorithms dictate internet development behaviour. It's google's way or the highway.

There's pretty much a website for every hobby, interest, topic, etc., but I think it's helpful (and obvious) to take a look at what websites are popular, and it might give you a better sense of what your next domain name or website development will be:

Alexa:
http://www.alexa.com/

Alexa even has the top 1,000,000 sites available daily:

NYT: "Put Ad on Web. Count Clicks. Revise."

noreply@blogger.com (Alex) — Sun, 31 May 2009 22:33:00 +0000

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/31/business/media/31ad.html?_r=1&ref=technology&pagewanted=print

This is an interesting article on the dynamic between online advertising and traditional advertising. Madison Avenue is only now beginning to unlock the internet's potential. When they come, driving the PPC rates and online advertising rates up, the type-in traffic from your domains will generate more revenue.

So if you have domains now that are generating targetted traffic, hold on to it, and just because you can't monetize it now, doesn't mean you won't be able to monetize it in the future.

Domains have always been a side hobby for me, and earlier this decade, I was registering domain names for traffic which I was hoping to send off to sponsors, this was before PPC landing pages. Some of the domains made money, but a lot didn't. Some names that were not turning a profit were getting a lot of traffic, but I just had no where to send it, I would just send them to a general sponsor, like a dating site.

But over time, Google AdWords came along, and PPC landing pages came along, and I then had places to send this traffic that I previously was not able to monetize.

My point is, as long as you have the traffic, and a general idea of what the traffic is looking for, hold on to them, because online advertising will continue to evolve, and those domain names that aren't currently able to cover their reg fee, soon will, and then some.

IRS tax revenue plunges 34%...

noreply@blogger.com (Alex) — Wed, 27 May 2009 13:42:00 +0000

http://www.usatoday.com/money/perfi/taxes/2009-05-26-irs-tax-revenue-down_N.htm

The economy is only getting worse and now is the time to work harder and secure domain names that generate natural type-in traffic, because they will earn you money indefinitely. It doesn't matter what people are paying for the traffic now, it only matters that the traffic consists of potential consumers, as there will always be a value to that. As the internet grows, it will become harder and harder to get traffic to your site because the internet will continue to be flooded by websites, blogs, social networking profiles, etc.

"Microsoft Aims Big Guns at Google, Asks Consumers to Rethink Search"

noreply@blogger.com (Alex) — Tue, 26 May 2009 23:57:00 +0000

http://adage.com/digital/article?article_id=136847

"The software giant is set to launch an $80 million to $100 million campaign for Bing, the search engine it hopes will help it grab a bigger slice of the online ad market. That's a big campaign -- big compared with consumer-product launches ($50 million is considered a sizable budget for a national rollout) and very big when you consider that Google spent about $25 million on all its advertising last year, according to TNS Media Intelligence, with about $11.6 million of that focused on recruiting. Microsoft, by comparison, spent $361 million."

When you consider the budgets that these companies have for advertising, the price of a premium generic domain name relevant to their product is extremely cheap, especially since it would be a one-time purchase that they could continue using in future marketing campaigns.

Developing Generic Domain Names

noreply@blogger.com (Alex) — Tue, 26 May 2009 23:38:00 +0000

I've been involved in internet marketing since about 1997, and I've always developed sites which generated revenue, regardless of the domain name. I would come up with a business model, found an appropriate domain name, then developed the site. However, I see a lot of domainers out there buying generic domain names, then developing the sites, without regard to its commercial viability. I'm not saying it doesn't work, but seriously, for some of these terms there's (1) not a lot of interest and (2) the ppc rates are low. Time is your most valuable resource, focus on things that have the potential to make you a lot of money, not things that at best will make you $50 annually (i.e. don't waste your time developing DumplingSauce.com).

Let your ideas for a business lead you to the domain names, not the other way around.

Washington Post: "The Man Who Owns LiveSearch.com (No, He Doesn't Work For Microsoft)"

noreply@blogger.com (Alex) — Mon, 25 May 2009 23:51:00 +0000

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/05/24/AR2009052402028.html

As you know, Microsoft's search engine is Live.com, the above article is about the guy that owns LiveSearch.com.

Take a look at the article. Either (1) Microsoft offered him $200,000, but would not go as high as the asking price of $800,000 or (2) some investor offered $200,000 and was willing to risk an adverse UDRP decision, because I have no idea how you would fight the bad faith prong of that test.

According to the article, Microsoft might re-brand its search engine all together because they don't have LiveSearch.com? I doubt it, it would have been cheaper overall to pay the $600,000 gap between the offer and asking price, then to completely re-brand a new search engine. And besides, what would they do with Live.com? I'm sure they paid a mint for that.

Domain Names: Highest and Best Use

noreply@blogger.com (Alex) — Mon, 25 May 2009 23:05:00 +0000

Developed domain names, even those currently owned by end-users, will continue to sell for increasingly high values, because a lot of names are currently not being used for their "Highest and Best Use."

Highest and Best Use is a real estate appraisal term that is defined as follows:

"The reasonably probably and legal use of vacant land or an improved property that is physically possible, appropriately supported, and financially feasible and that results in the highest value." Appraisal Institute, Appraisal of Real Estate, 305 (12th ed. 2001).

This real estate term can be easily applied to domain names.

For example, the highest and best use of Toys.com is probably a fully-developed website selling toys which would result in the highest value, as opposed to a ppc landing page, and therefore a buyer with the intention of using it for its highest and best use will be able to justify paying a much higher price than someone who will throw ads up, which is probably why Toys R Us was able to outbid National A-1 for it recently.

You also see this every time a domain name is bought by one big company from another big company, where both companies have a legitimate interest in the name, but the buyer has a higher and better use for it and is willing to pay accordingly.

For example, ESS Data Recovery purchased the domain name DataRecovery.com for $1.659 million from competitor Associated Computers, Inc., both end users, but clearly ESS Data Recovery had a higher and better use for the name.

I'd really like to know how much WordPress paid Yahoo for WP.COM, I'm sure it was nothing short of a king's ransom. Yahoo probably had plans for it, but WordPress clearly had a higher and better use for it, although I think Washington Post would have (or should have) paid more for it.

I know I'm severly oversimplifying this concept, but I think it will suffice for purposes of this blog, and I'd prefer not to dwell on each post.

Random Domain Name Statistics To Consider

noreply@blogger.com (Alex) — Thu, 21 May 2009 23:11:00 +0000

I was just looking at the domain name statistics on Domain Tools:

http://www.domaintools.com/internet-statistics/

There are 80,767,441 active .com domain names.

- Meaning the 17,576 three-letter .com's (i.e. LLL.COM) represent 0.00021761244% of the active .com domain names.

- Meaning the 456,976 four-letter .com's (i.e. LLLL.COM) represent 0.00565792346% of the active .com domain names.

- Meaning the 1,000 three-number .com's (i.e. NNN.COM) represent 0.00001238122% of the active .com domain names.

- Meaning the 10,000 four-number .com's (i.e. NNNN.COM) represent 0.00012381226% of the active .com domain names.

- The Second Edition of the Oxford English Dictionary contains full entries for 171,476 words in current use, which would represent 0.00212308323% of the active .com domain names.

- Since Verisign charges $6.42 per year for .com's, I assume they generally gross $518,526,971 per year with respect to same.

- I would also recommend reading Verisign's Domain Name Industry Briefs for other interesting statistics:

http://www.verisign.com/Resources/Naming_Services_Resources/Domain_Name_Industry_Brief/page_002553.html

- "The largest TLDs in terms of base size were .com, .cn, .de, .net, .org, .uk, .info, .nl (The Netherlands), .eu (European Union), and .biz."

- Verisign analyzed 90 million domain names and found that 24% had one-page web sites, 64% had multiple page web sites, and 12% had no web sites.

.ME Domains Hit Quarter-Million Milestone

noreply@blogger.com (Alex) — Wed, 20 May 2009 22:49:00 +0000

http://www.domain.me/news.php?&news=170

New TLDs will continue to come out because every time a new one is released, a bunch of dreamers come along hoping to make a fortune by buying the premium names and hoping the TLD becomes popular.

Each time you can expect articles to come out as to why this TLD is different from all of the others that have failed...

People that have an interest in the success of the TLD will begin blogging about how great it is...

People will start raving about it in the forums...

And people like me will be telling you not to believe the hype.

What do the following have in common: Altavista, AOL, AIM, Friendster, Myspace, Facebook, Twitter, . Ws, .Biz, .Pro, .Info, .Me, .Mobi, .Tel

noreply@blogger.com (Alex) — Wed, 20 May 2009 18:41:00 +0000

They are all fads, here today, gone tomorrow.

.COM is like property in New York City, whereas .Biz is like property in Nebraska, even if you have prime real estate in Nebraska, it will still be in Nebraska, and nothing will ever change that. It doesn't mean it doesn't have value, it just means that the demand will be less and the price will be less than its .COM equivalent.

As more and more TLDs come online, it does nothing but dilute all of the other TLDs, with the cream rising to the top (i.e. .COM).

ccTLDs may dominate in their respective countries, but they are subject to the same limitations.

.COM is universal, international, and has become synonymous with the internet.

People will pay a premium for the best, and there is no doubt that .COM is the best and will continue to be the best, forever and ever.

Why You Are Unlikely To Sell A Domain Name For More Than $1 Million

noreply@blogger.com (Alex) — Tue, 19 May 2009 13:58:00 +0000

I'm always looking to buy premium domain names, and a lot of owners I contact will ask for millions of dollars. I generally ignore those emails and move on, as I am looking for bargains. If they think their domain name is worth millions of dollars, and will not sell it for any less, good for them, but it probably won't happen for the following reasons.

First of all, no one is going to offer you a million dollars as their first offer, they're going to start much lower, just as you'll probably start off much higher.

But think about it, to sell a domain name for $1 million dollars, you're going to be put through a lot of tests. Think of a domain name that you own that YOU think is worth $1 million dollars (if any). What if someone offered you $50,000 $100,000? $200,000? $300,000? $400,000? $500,000? $600,000? $700,000? $800,000? $900,000?

Do you really think you can walk away from a final offer of $500,000 for a domain name that you paid $50,000 for? Before the buyer's offer ever reaches $1 million, you'll probably cave in and sell it. You'll start thinking of the other comparable premium domain names that you can buy with your profits, and whether any buyer will ever come along again with such an offer.

Rick Schwartz sold iReport.com to CNN for $750,000. If you had that domain in your portfolio, do you think you would have been able to hold out for $750,000? I wouldn't have been able to do it. I probably would have sold it for around $50,000 if I didn't know CNN was the potential buyer, and probably would have held out for $100,000 if I knew it was CNN.

Domain names are unique, if a buyer needs it, they need it, set your prices accordingly.

NYT Article: "New Mood in Antitrust May Target Google"

noreply@blogger.com (Alex) — Mon, 18 May 2009 20:59:00 +0000

While it's true that Google is dominant in many areas, including PPC, I just don't think it's right to punish Google for being successful.

"The new antitrust leadership, legal experts say, is likely to scrutinize networks — technology platforms that become so dominant that everyone feels the need to plug into them. The advantages to the companies that control such networks snowball as they attract more users, advertisers or software developers."
...
"Google’s power is a cause of worry in many industries — media, advertising, telecommunications and software. Yet being large, successful and ambitious is not an antitrust violation. 'You’ve got to be big, and you have to be bad,' observed Andrew I. Gavil, a law professor at Howard University. 'You have to be both.'"

2. You must supply a buy it now (BIN) price. Emails without a BIN price will be deleted.

3. I will ONLY feature domain names that are both (1) considered "premium" by my standards and (2) have a reasonable asking price.

4. This service is free. I am not charging you a fee to have your domain names featured, nor am I charging a brokering fee if it sells.

5. You will need to contact any potential buyers directly, as I will not be involved in the transaction itself.

These rules are as of May 17, 2009 and are subject to change.

Stop Buying NNNN.com Domain Names

noreply@blogger.com (Alex) — Sun, 17 May 2009 19:51:00 +0000

I know that there's a market for NNNN.com (e.g. 3648.com) domain names, but it exists only because of the bigger fool theory.

"Buy a stock and you'll make money as long as some other fool is willing to buy the stock from you at a higher price in order to sell it to an even bigger fool at an even higher price." Crash: Ten Days in October...Will It Strike Again?, Longman Financial Services Publishing, Arbel, Avner and Kaff, Albert E. (1989).

This can work until the market runs out of bigger fools, at which point overvalued domain names will come crashing down.

For your consideration:

What is the fair market value of NNNN.com domain names?

How many developed websites are on NNNN.com domain names?

Do you think visitors will remember your address?

Will any type-in traffic you receive be targeted?

What would you potentially sell to such a visitor?

How many NNNN.com domain names do you personally have bookmarked?

What are the chances that a Fortune 500 company will contact you to buy your NNNN.com domain name?

What are the chances that a company would use a NNNN.com domain name in an advertisement?

I know that people will continue to buy and sell such names, and give silly reasons and justifications for same, but just be careful that you're not the one left holding the bag when the prices come crashing down.

The 100 Oldest Registered .COM Domain Names

noreply@blogger.com (Alex) — Sun, 17 May 2009 04:42:00 +0000

The first 100 .COM domain names were registered back in 1985 through 1987, and a lot of premium domain names were still available in 1995. I always hear people say that if they knew back in 1995 what they know now they would have registered a lot of domain names and made a fortune. Yeah, that's fine, but there's plenty of opportunities today. In 2029, these same people are going to continue to make excuses and wish they bought more premium domain names in 2009. Every week I see premium domain names sell for thousands of dollars on DNJournal.com. Those same names are going to be untouchable in 2029 for the reasons I'll discuss another day. History will repeat itself, so look for opportunities today.

Another Domain Blog

noreply@blogger.com (Alex) — Sun, 17 May 2009 03:06:00 +0000

There's a ton of domain blogs out there, many of which I frequent on a weekly basis, but there's still something lacking, there's still something I can contribute. People blog from their personal and business experiences, and I'd like to think that my unique experiences and background will allow me to blog from a different perspective. My goal is to make you think in different ways.

Just like every other person that has started a blog, I'm going into this first post motivated and with every intention of posting frequently. However, I'm only human and I'm likely to lose interest fairly quickly. Hopefully, before now and then I will have accomplished "something" or inspired someone.

For now, I'm just going to link to a few things that have inspired me:

"Structured Procrastination" is a strategy by a Stanford philosophy professor to convert procrastinators into effective human beings. (Life)
