A question about premium domains.

[Rolandas Japertas]

It was a metaphorical comparisons to the original post

Exactly

 

[Rolandas Japertas]

Sorry, no, completely wrong ICANN is not government. ICANN was setup by the US government, it is now and continues to be, an international, community-driven organization independent of any one government!

Of course! Still, I see it as a domain government

What I'm leading up to is that a Domain name is just an idea until it is created and then it becomes real,so how do you add value to an idea?

 

[Biggie]

so how do you add value to an idea?

Hi

you draw interest in that idea, by how well you can communicate it,
so that it can be envisioned the same in your audiences' mind, as it is in yours.

by creating anticipation, it's adding value to the idea or concept, you're preaching, hyping or predicting will be the next big thingy.
that creates demand, if the name is/gets registered and a product/service is created upon/around it.

like .mobi was supposed to be (default extension in cellular phones), before the iphone was released.


or more recently, take .ai extension and the hype surrounding it and all the crap ai related names for sale.

imo...

Dotmobi was an actual product that was put in operation. The concept behind dotmobi looked good on paper,in reality it was a extension that didn't live up to the hype.Like most domain names.If you don't have a dictionary domain name or one with a history ,it's just speculation.

Mobi was an actual product,that was in operation. The idea looked good on paper,in reality it was a extension that didn't live up to the hype.Like most domain names.If you don't have a one word domain that is in the dictionary or some history behind the use of that domain,it's just speculation.

I agree. Mobi somehow became a product for a short time when they released this Mobile-Site-Converter, I do not remember the name ... they had a name for it. Who remembers? I think it was Pinky Brand who presented it first. I was somehow shocked when I saw that it is possible. Well short time later Website became responsive. And then sadly bye bye DotMobi.

I should have said: "How do you set a price on a idea?"

 

[vrwrys]

And what are we doing different?
domainer do the same!!!

It is my firm belief that if an investor owns 100 domain names, they should have at least 10 domain names operating in commerce. An investment/development ratio to prevent abuse.Registrars sell extensions and Domainers sell domain names.

"Unregistered premium domains" typically refer to domain names that have not yet been claimed or registered by anyone but are considered valuable due to certain desirable qualities. These qualities often include factors like short length, memorability, keyword relevance, and brandability. The term "premium" suggests that these domains are deemed more valuable than others.

Here's a breakdown of the key components:
Unregistered: These domains have not been officially taken or registered by anyone. They are essentially available for anyone to claim.
Premium: The term "premium" in this context signifies that the domain is considered high-quality or valuable.

In the domain industry, there is a market for premium domains where one may actively seek out and invest in these valuable, unregistered domain names. The value of a premium domain is often subjective and can depend on trends, industry relevance, and the potential uses for the domain in building a brand or online presence.

I understand the key components.My problem is with the registrars,they deal in wholesale and storage,not retail,and there are other factors that go along with an appraisal.Keywords is not enough and neither is brandability.Unless you have a dictionary, a possible acronym or an aged domain with high traffic. Someone has found a loophole and is gaming the system.It was not like this ten years ago.If it wasn't registered,what ever you found was up to your imagination.A domain name worth is only what a buyer is willing to pay for it.That is what I heard for years before I dropped my keyword rich domains.No one wanted to pay more than $50 for them.

You no longer can create unregistered domains with popular keywords because they are classified as premium.

But they are not really premium. They are still hand registered domains at jacked up prices. They should be able to ask whatever price they want, but they shouldn't be able to call a hand registered domain a premium, unless it really is.

My question should have been,what is their purpose in holding domains and do they profit from the sale of these domains?How does that help the community?

Yes, they make a profit by holding premium names and release for a huge amount of money. Normally on a marketplace.

 

[onthetopofmygame]

I have websluts.com it was registered in 1996. It is worth about 50k. But in reality people usually don't give what a name is worth. They usually give either more or less. I would be lucky to get $200 for it.

Not profitable on my end. Save the domain or try other marketplaces. Pm me.

 

[onthetopofmygame]

It's usually won't be profitable in anybodies end.

Hi

what makes it worth $50k?

imo...

 

[hacxx]

Hi

what makes it worth $50k?

imo...

The SEO and other metrics done on the domain.

 

[Biggie]

The SEO and other metrics done on the domain.

Hi

the name, as is, isn't worthy and unless there is inherent type in traffic and/or from seo efforts,
then other metrics don't mean jack turds.

imo...

 

[hacxx]

What you are saying is something like i have this flashy domain name and i'm selling for a huge price in hopes that a buyer without knowing how much traffic it has buys it. (Without metrics and based on your word).

 

[Biggie]

Without metrics

Hi

whenever i sell a domain, it's being sold, as is.
meaning without metrics.

now if a potential buyer is "looking" for a domain that has some traffic, and if i respond,
then any metrics like visitors, ppc earnings, etc would be divulged.

imo...
