Whoah! Super DUPER domain with Overture! BUY NOW

[Theo]

The title of this post is a tongue-in-cheek example of the misleading titles seen around the Sales forums.

Wouldn't it be better to set as a rule that at least one of the domains for sale is listed in the title? Instead of "whoah! free PREMIUM overture domain" and it's myDomainBlowz.ws :-D

I think that is a great suggestion. That way you can just scan down the list and easily know what is inside without having to actually go in to find out you are disappointed by the over zealous title

with VB3, you just have to hover your mouse over the thread title in the forum view and it shows the first few lines of the post...

True, however there is no substitute for visual scanning. I believe that recently the situation has deteriorated & not too far from the example above.

On the other hand, one of the most professional posters is Duke; his posts consistently describe what's for sale - including TLD's - and if it's part of a multi-post offer. I always check out his posts for bargains :-D

It's actually getting better. Through repeated abuse by many members with misleading titles, I've just learned to ignore any of their for sale posts. This saves a lot of time and eliminates 80% of the for sale ads.

Funny, I tend to do the same.

But some sellers here know about that so they try to trick you to click on it by putting a bunch of white space near the top of the post so you only see the post top area and the names are not visible when the mouse hovers but there once you go to the post.

Umm ..You had a type RadiStar ..let me fix that for you..

"it's myDomainBlwz.COM :cheeky:



Yes, I find it irritating myself but find I also simply ignore those peoples sales threads...you know it's going to be garbage ..no need to open it.

This is so true and it drives me nuts. Great point!

i must be the only one who looks at the "super duper" threads becasue of the title, but iam taken in my eevrything.. the shouty the better.. :-(


the only problem with putting name/names in the title, is deciding which one is good enough ;-) and with my names thats impossbile as i have so many bad ones and so little good ones.

also i put a space at the top, as i think it looks untidy, when the mouse overs show only a few of your names...

wilco

maybe we should have a vote?

Sounds like a good idea

Actually the measure has been going on for a while now on [email protected] - one of the few things they did right - and it's simple to follow: post the domain in the title, TLD included. What's so hard to follow? If you must be creative about a title, so be it, just add the dang domain :-D

i agree in principal and have done so at domainst ate

but i tend to put a lot of names in my sales threads as i want as much coverage as possible, maybe a new section for selling single names? and another one for bulk names? or maybe not..
:charming:

 

[Theo]

A solution is to list several names in the title and add something along the lines of "...and another 25 names".

Actually you don't need to use an "alias" for DomainState. Contrary to some popular myth, DNForum does NOT censor other forum names or URLs just because they are competitions. Of course, it would be nice and actually a common forum etiquette (just like you have done it right, Theo) not to directly link to another domain-related forum.

As for including at least 1 domain name in the thread title, I don't really have any personal stand on this one. Yes, to some extent, it seems to be more informative to buyers; but then, this also take away the fun of guessing what kind of crappy name(s) are actually listed inside. And I guess most members have gradually learned to differentiate between useful and lousy thread titles. Let's hear more from other members.

I just read threads that have 3 or more replies already :-D

 

[internext]

I think the original sugestion is a very good idea

 

[OzTheory]

yeah, or even 5 .com, 20 .us domains including blahblah.com would make a good title.
