Must be nice to own avatar.com - traffic must be UP!
 
Except it's highly unrelated to anything television or movies-- so expect an average of 3 a second stay and 0.001% CTR to see another page. ;)

If i was the owner, i would make some changes
 
wonder when Adam sold this one.

i had MatrixReloaded.com and MatrixRevolutions.com when the movies came out and put up a forum on there. Within a few weeks I had some 10k members and hundreds of thousands of post.

The studio never bothered me because... well my guess is that it was all hardcore matrix fans and we were all supporting the movie.
 
The owner contacted me about developing the site a while back, they can monetize the site as is right now and make some good money what with 'avatars' being a hot subject people search for online to use in blogs/social profiles/forums etc.

I don't know if there would be tm issues of sorts if changed to target Avatar the movie users, but it could be worked around and put to good use. is there affiliate programs that could be used? I suppose that's what I would look at, otherwise it wouldn't be as profitable unless it's sold right out.

Great name either way
 
In the bottom right corner of this website is a section for people who want to post their links for $$$ a month on dnforum, if you pay attention the 2nd text link directs to avatars.com - wonder if the owner sees an increase in traffic from all the exposure of the movie title.
 
Avatars.com possibly has a slight increase in traffic due to the movie, but if I were trying to find the movie I would first try Avatar and then AvatarMovie, not go to the plural.

Who knows though, some of my newbie domains still get type in traffic so just about anyone would try anything other than a search engine to find what they're looking for.

I'm sure the text link on DNForum gives Avatars.com more exposure than the movie though...

(If you're insinuating that they change the content related to the movie (or evenmovies in general)):
Yes, let's shout out to the TM holders that we're trying to cash in on their TM.

I can't think of a better reason to give them for a WIPO.

Exactly. Good way to lose the domain by shifting business model.

Evil Mod does have Evil thinking! LOL

No I was not thinking that at all! I was thinking more of placing Avatar related ads... avatar (the pics) But we both know that will not happen, cause avatar is a business site!
 
I own avatars.com and have seen good traffic increases.

That's amazing, last night I had a discussion with a client about domain investment and I was using you as an example of success, how you use to live in the same area. Your success is what motivates me. I never stop using you as an example :) to clients and friends.
 
In the same sense sex.com gets a traffic increase with every porn flick that comes out.

Avatars.com is better IMO for long term traffic retention and/or development.
 
AvatarFix.com
AvatarFocus.com
AvatarReviews.com

... all are available today. Still a lot of potential there.
