closed Dotcom Vs Dotnets

[GAMEFINEST]

lets say for EXAMPLE....... YOU OWN A NAME THAT IS IN DEMAND....AND YOU OWN DOTNET of that same name......what is the value RATIO? JUST THE DOMAIN NAME...NO WEBSITE HAS BEEN SET UP YET ....I LIKE KNOW EVERYONES Opinion on this one

meaning SOMEONE ALREADY HAS THE DOTCOM....and i HAVE THE DOTNET OF THE SAME NAME

Usually 10-20 % but possibly more if it receives traffic and revenue.

According to my experience, for type-in domains, the traffic rate for .com:.net is about 10:1

 

[Rockefeller]

usually 30-50% of the .com value, also depends on the domain

 

[DNabc]

In most of the cases, maybe 25% of the .com
Sometimes more, sometimes less.
You can check some live cases. Example: sex.com and sex.net (both sold some time ago)

well its a adult domain............www.sexranking.net........ i forgot to park this one to test it out but most of the TLDS are taken....thats what i was wondering.

 

[DNabc]

Funny how without any hint I posted a similar adult example

The value of that domain will mainly be because of it's traffic, so try to see how much it makes.

Well, I don't think we can make a rule out of this (a .net is 3%-5% of a .com), or I would start buying a lot of .net's domains
But in this case it was like this.

 

[GAMEFINEST]

:smilewinkgrin: some dotnets are worth buying.....

I'm stuck on .Com.

Simply because companies already spend billions each year in advertising related to their .com addresses.

Let them do the work for you. The consumer wants simplicity. You may give them an easy name to remember, but you must also give them an easy extension to remember -- or they will go elsewhere.

 

[Onward]

This really depends on the .net...

I would agree with anywhere from 10%-40% of .com pricing. Not based on traffic.
