New Domain Game: "Waste of a Domain"

[izopod]

RULES for "Waste of a domain".


1. You must find a dot com domain that is currently not being used (even for ppc purposes) that has high OVT #'s. edit: I'm going to open this up to non-com names as well. Although, it would be interesting to see how many non-com names have over 500 OVT searches (see below). We'll see!!

2. To qualify the domain must have over 500 searches on OVT.

WHO WINS?

That person who finds the domain name with the highest OVT #'s, that is not being used (at all).

WHAT DO YOU WIN?

Nothing, but it sure does kill some time. I find it most interesting how some domains aren't even being used.

Here is my entry for the week of 9/29/03

Garden.com - Nada, zip, not even a ppc page

OVT #: 3329 (ouch!!)

 

[stevo]

Do the overture results include the .com, or merely the term itself?

Has to have the .com ending (or any TLD for that matter---added non-com's to this game as well--see rules)

This game may help our "high end" buyers pick out some "unused" gems...

 

[izopod]

You can submit as many entries as you'd like:

Here is another one:

Spas.com (zero...zilch, nada)

OVT: 1431 (Dohhhhh!)

 

[izopod]

Super.com - not sure what'd you do with it other than vanity purposes, but... it does get the following OVT:

OVT: 844

 

[izopod]

so far on the "Leader Board" we have Izopod with Garden.com at 3329 OVT.

:evil:

Crichey!!!

This is a typo domain owned by Yahoo.com. The page shown is a "half attempt" at a redirect page.

Not a true "Waste of a Domain", so this one can't be allowed...

Nice try though...

Excellent...

LEADER BOARD RESULTS (as of 9/29/03)

#1 Izopod: Garden.com 3329
#2 Sharpy: Yes.com 2490


Honorable mention, that wasn't allowed: Ahoo.com submitted by Stevo---over 10K ovt. (Now checking to see if aahoo.com is reg'd...LOL)

 

[stevo]

Hospital.com--- 2559

 

[Keith]

I was going to say http://usa.com
But it seems its accessible by http://www.usa.com

usa.com - 16808

 

[izopod]

Ok...I am going to add a new category... Shortest domain (more than 1) with the highest OVT.... btw: Feel free to create new categories to give yourself the #1 ranking in that category!! :-D

I submit:

NN.com

OVT: 1156


TYPO ALERT: Probably the high ovt is because of the CNN.com domain. Name is privately owned. Although curiously reg'd through 2006.

LEADER BOARD RESULTS (as of 9/29/03)

#1 Izopod: Garden.com 3329
#2 Sharpy: Yes.com 2490
#3 Stevo: Hospital.com 2259


SIDE BAR CATEGORY ENTRIES:

Shortest domain w/highest OVT:

#1 Izopod: nn.com 1156 (no doubt due to CNN.com ---interesting fact---privately owned domain)

 

[stevo]

Probably the top .ws. ovt.=30
http://www.sex.ws

 

[izopod]

Hmmm... This could turn out to be a lucrative game. Can you say "finder's fee"???

Let's say $20 per domain??

Nice find, but is still being "used"

To enter a domain, it has to have the "blank, white 404 looking page"

edit: I see you were just mentioning the fact sex.ws had 30 OVT's, and weren't entering the domain in the contest.
