sensational Game On - (.)LINK vs. (.)XYZ

[Bulloney]

Thanks Biggie for inspiring me to start this thread. I've learned that Swetha and the early success of the .XYZ Brand is all about the HYPE! While i mentioned in a previous thread my middle name should have been hype....i did just register for my own personal use the domain Hypepreneurcom and along with it Hypepreneurlink in order to practice what i preach.

While i accumulated about a thousand .LINK domains in the last three weeks, it was this article written by Andred Allemann that really tuned me on to the this extension;

Domain investor acquires .link top level domain - Domain Name Wire | Domain Name News

Yoni Belousov acquires .link top level domain from Frank Schilling’s UNR. .Link is the latest of the UNR top level domains auctions last year to finally transfer to its new owner. ICANN records show that Nova Registry Ltd is the new owner of this domain. You need to follow the thread to find the...

I'm not sure if .xyz (maybe a caboose?) has any sort of a logo, but the "silver chain" for .link is perfect and powerful, and I plan on using it to promote/hype my domains directly to consumers aka "end users". Linkedin is another tool in my tool box. How so you may ask? With over 800M members, and over 300M active members in any given month I'd say the name association alone is pretty damn powerful.

Finally, a good friend and well respected leader in the domain industry just said this to me;

".LINK is not worse than .XYZ." .........any wonder i just registered KingOf.link

Thoughts? Comments? Questions? Thanks

Excuse me.....so insinuating that "hype" was the only way .link might succeed was fake??? I took you seriously Biggie....i'm so sorry. It sounds to me like you don't want to participate constructively in a comparison between .LINK and .XYZ Again, i apologize if you were offended. I should be more sensitive.

as an fyi....here's a .LINK domain I just registered and i have hundreds more just like it;

surgery.link Domain History November 2023 : HosterStats.com

Domain Name Registration and Hosting History for surgery.link

www.hosterstats.com

Note this domain was registered by UNR/Uniregistry in April 2014 and it was deleted in July of 2017. So why is this significant? First, UNR actually owned the .link extension then, and this was a way for them to corner the market on a lot of very good domains (not illegal btw), but unethical?....ask Verisign about that Next, i wonder why they dropped tens of thousand of otherwise very good domains in 2017? Were they in some sort of trouble? For what?

I was told about a month ago by Vaughn Liley, .LINK's GM, that they were working on a new roll out for .LINK. He also knew that I was accumulating .LINK names, but I should probably chill for a while? At the time I'd accumulated around 200 .link domains, however due to my distrust of most people in this industry, I now own about 1,100 much to the chagrin of Liley and other industry insiders.

It's due to my inquisitive and investigative background that I intend to get to the bottom of all this, and to Vaughn Liley who ignores my emails.....FEAR THE TURTLE!!!

Risk vs. Reward is what this is all about for me.

Both junk.

Thanks for responding.....if a .com can't get me to my destination, at least alternatives exist

We always liked .net and .org for development

A coupld of biggest projects are on .org

We just did a big project on a .foundation

We had some stuff on .fund

Never really looked at .link, but to me it seemed okay for a SEO project, links drive that industry

Good luck with your .link's

Like you said earlier, it's mostly about the "HYPE". I really don't trust anyone in this industry, especially the likes of GD and Schilling. I see your point about SEO and .link and i intend to register more names around the SEO theme. I also plan to use my association with Linkedin to promote .link How so? I don't know yet, but maybe it'll come to me via my Visualization.link Thanks and Good Luck to you too!

just sharing a .link vs .xyz vs .com story. A few days ago a domainer from another message board posted that he'd just purchased Whiskies.com and was asking for opinions about his purchase and here is what I said;
Depending how much you paid, it could be a very good investment. Especially since Whisky without the "e" sold for 3.1M seven years ago. I own WhiskyFocus.com and just purchased Whiskies.link for a whopping 2.19.

I guess you know the difference between Whisky and Whiskey, however I believe the the plural for each is Whiskies:xf.wink: A neighbor of mine is an official Whisky Ambassador from Glasgow and I've developed a business model/plan around his taste and expertise.

Finally, i just noticed that SAW has whiskies.xyz for sale for $8,600, and since ".LINK is no worse than .XYZ" according one of the most respected domainers in the world, i guess owning Whiskies.link is a risk worth taking.

Thanks...and best of luck to you!
