3D related domain names?

4dmodel.com

just got this..

If it does not do well in the 3d market it may have use in the adult market.

This seems to be phrased wrong and I feel hurts the use and value greatly. Fights3d.com can work and I think is really good.

The computers will start shipping in Japan on June 17 and will be the first PCs with built-in cameras that allow users to make 3-D movies, the Tokyo-based company said in a statement today.

Been sitting on 3ddvd.net for few years, half developed out about 6 months ago (needs a lot more work) and it's been top 5/6 Google for months for main keyword search '3D DVD'

Any views on value?

markg, so you're the one who registered 3dreadytvs.com? i found the best 3d-related names already gone when i went looking for them a year ago.

3d will become commonplace sooner rather than later. theaters will come first, then home 3d. hollywood studios have had their sights trained on 3d for several years. movie theaters are full of 3d movies. james cameron (titanic and the upcoming, highly anticipated avatar) has said that he doesn't foresee making any non-3d movies in the future. some studio execs who have invested billions of dollars in 3d are saying it will be the biggest thing since sound.

the number of 3d-ready theaters has lagged behind projections. still, the number is pretty huge and growing. exhibitors and studios have bickered over who will pay for converting the nation's screens. there's also been a chicken and egg question. exhibitors haven't wanted to spend big bucks to convert to digital 3d projection because there weren't enough huge 3d movies to justify it and studios worried about making too many expensive 3d movies when there weren't enough screens. it's happening more slowly than predicted. still, it's happening. and having big filmmakers like cameron commit to it will hasten the speed.

i've registered all the decent 3d-related names i could find (and, unfortunately, a few that aren't quite decent). commonplace theatrical 3d is a foregone conclusion. registering home-related 3d names (and mobile 3d) is forward-looking. but domainers like mark g have been looking forward a bit longer than the rest of us, so a lot of the better home 3d names are already taken as well.

Hi TSTARK,

as someone who has over 700 3D .com domain names, all registered within the past 6 weeks, I found your comments (and indeed those of some of the others in this thread) a little strange. Granted many good names were gone however I believe I have registered some very good ones, in fact at least half of what I have would fall into the good category. This where it becomes subjective I suppose - what is good? I suppose like a domains worth is related to the value it provides to the user then so is the determination of good.

I am a newbie - I only started domaining 2 months ago and have gone headlong into 3d names (including cameras, phones, computers etc.) - I have listed a number of them in a few selling sites but with no success to date. I have asked a few questions in here about 3d inclusion in domain names however I am not getting much of a response - things like how will Google adapt its logarithms to accept the numeral 3 at the same level as a letter (or will they?) - there will be BILLIONS of searches for "3D" xxxxx over the next 12 months or so as 3D explodes. Also, another possibly dumb question - are "bookends" penalised by Google, e.g. 3dtv3d.com ? the searcher types in 3d tv, will google crawlers see 3dtv3d as returning what the searcher was looking for in that 3d is in the domain name twice?, as against 3dtvprogramsontonightinboston.com - so the query is from you experienced domainers, "is it practicable and sensible to look to register bookend names like 3dphone3d, 3dscreen3d etc." ?? or are such domains not worth persuing?

For what it is worth here are some of my domains (all .com) as examples, some are indeed bookends - 3dfootball3d, 3dmoviesbluray, 3dplasmatvdeals, 3dplasmaglasses, 3dsportslive, 3dtelevisionsport, 3dtvchoices, 3dtvs3d.

OK, another quick question - which of these two would be worth more, 3dmovies.com or movies3d.com given that Google keyword stats for 3d movies is about 200k whilst movies is 83million per month (U.S.) ??

Anyway, if you have some opinions I will be happy to receive them.

cheers, Mike

Valuate and Estibot needs to tweaked again. Showing all wrong values.

I have over 700 3D names and gave all of the so called valuators away as a bad joke - could it have something to do with the numeral 3 as far as logarithms go ? - wondering how google crawlers will adjust to the enormous volume of 3D searches about to explode.

cheers, Mike

I have 3D-Hire.com & co.uk.

My thoughts are that due to the high price of the new technology, the hire of these items could be a very big business opportunity. This would not just be TV's but also 3D players, cameras, video cameras etc.

Any thoughts on these please.

Thanks

Mark

Do you believe they are all going to sell before renewal is due ?

very valid Mark - I have nearly 50 names registered 30 .com, 20 .com.au, all related to rental / hire of 3D TV (examples, 3dtvrent.com, 3dtvrental3d.com, 3dtvrent4less.com, 3dtvrentforless.com, 3dtvrenttobuy.com etc, etc, etc.). Many people will rent before buying - problem is the term of the rental - usual minimum is 6 months - a smart operator would pounce on the situation and offer 1 month rentals but at a premium price (which many would pay) and clean up. Of course the main issue is lack of available 3D content, that is slowing everything down - lol.

You could be on a winner - good luck.

Mike

 

[Marco]

Thanks Mike

I will be looking to sell the domain on when the time seems right.

There 3D tv's are already starting to hit the UK market so hopefully won't be long.

What do you think a name like this should be sold for if you don't mind me asking.

Cheers

Mark

Do you believe they are all going to sell before renewal is due ?

No, I had some money I felt like burning - lol. What guarantee is there that any name will sell? I am very confident indeed that the vast majority will sell - all are less than 6 weeks old. I really only need for a dozen or so good ones to sell and I will be laughing all the way to the bank.

Not gloating, that will happen once they are sold, but here are some examples of why I think most will sell.


They are all keyword selective - have spent numerous hours of research to ensure they will be search friendly - example; MOVIES3DLATEST.COM the word movies returns 185million searches globally per month, 83million in the U.S., so close to a billion inquiries for that single word alone, you can double that with other keywords accompanying movies that are of any worth (this is without word searches like DVD or VIDEO). So 2 billion searches - industry observers suggest that about 15% of all searches for movies, videos, musicdvds, dvds, tvs, televisions, dvd players, hometheaters etc etc will within the next 12 months include "3D" in the search criteria.

That equates to 300million searches for movies with a 3D content in the search in the U.S. alone per annum. So the seller of movies with movies3d.com, or 3dmovies.com, or 3dmovies3d.com will make a killing - but that makes up 3 sites, Googles pages have 10 results so there is room on page 1 for movies3dlatest.com, movies3dnew.com. moviesbluray3d.com etc etc etc - The market is so enormous particularly for the razor blades (TV sets are the razors, movies, glasses, games are the razor blades - you don't buy razors very often but you regularly buy razor blades) - there is plenty of room for myriads of combinations of 3D that will still make people money.

I personally am concentrating firstly on the current Google keywords THEN adding 3d (GAMES3D.COM instead of 3DGAMES.COM) when such names are available basing my theory on peoples current search habits - a few years down the tracK searchers will routinely put 3d first, then after that when 3D is THE NORM then for example GAMES 3D will be searched ahead of 3D GAMES - people will be looking for games knowing they are all 3D anyway (in a few years time). When not available I try different combinations and also revert to BOOKENDS, e.g. 3ddvd3d.com, 3dcomputers3d.com and so on (I am yet to find out how a bookend will be rated by the crawlers but I don't foresee any negatives).

So in a long winded way I am suggesting that the market is so enormous that if your 3D domain name relates in any way to a saleable item (not 3DCATS, or 3DMOONS or the like) then some business out there will need that domain to keep up with business trends - even long names, I also have 3dtelevisionhometheaters.com - normally a name of that length would be ignored in favour of 3Dhometheater.com which is a better name (I couldn't get that one but have the bookend) however think about this - how many retailers are there in the U.S. of Televisions and TV Home Theaters - there are at least 50 who turn over the 500million dollar mark - they can't all have the prime 3dhometheater.com but they will need something that tells their customers they hace them. Additionally descriptive searching will ensure hits, I am looking for a "3d television home theater" so that long descriptive domain name will show up, well at least whilst 3D is a novelty, maybe the next 4-5 years or so.

So yes I reckon I will sell most of them, even the least attractive of them (like 3dtelevisionglasseschoices.com) will sell for 3 figures - if I sell only the following (all .com) I will be happy I have put a figure next to them which I think will be very achievable within a couple of months - hopefully I am right.

Cheers, Mike

Not to burst your bubble, but your expectations are downright unrealistic. Very few names actually sell in that range.
IMO the value of these names is closer to reg fee (just like 99% of the 3D names currently floating around)

Yup.

Good luck nonetheless!

Mark,

the hyphen is the issue, without it maybe $12k, with it not sure.


cheers and good luck, Mike

(just like 99% of the 3D names currently floating around)

This is why I don't really get into new technologies anymore - by the time I know about it "all the good ones" are already taken, the best ones were probabaly taken years ago before it was thought that 3D would make it to the home by now.

Rememebr a few years ago that file type that was supposed to replace MP3 by now (what was it, MT9?) - tons of mt9 domains were registered and 99.99% of them were dropped. Yes, 3D TV is here and for the time being isn't going to change anytime soon but most domains registered now may sell for extremely low $xxx unless you're very lucky or you catch onto to something new before the hype starts.

Thanks for that Mike and best of luck with the names.

Based on what I have sold names for recently I was thinking of approx $400 - $600 for the pair of names together.

Cheers

Agreed - this thread is a 3D garbage dump
