Here thee!

Attention investors, thy heed by the advice of us seasonsed domainers!



Kind Regards,

How much liquidity is required and what is your expectation of ROI over what time frame?, and how much risk are you prepared to take?

e.g. 10 LLL.coms may be safer and easier to move in a hurry than one LL.com

Do you want a revenue stream or just invest and forget?

i live in CANADA thats enough research in my country that .ca is a loser in marketing... most of the traffic ggoes to .com

i worked for a firm which spend 30K on .ca domain and lost most of their traffic to the .com user.. i told them about it and they disagreed and said .ca will do better in canada... it failed... due to one main reason .. no matter how much money you spend.. in the end.. the person sitting behind the keyboard will most likely type the .com and that was the case with this firm.. the .com traffic rank increased dramatically... loser is the .ca brand...

otherwise i would support .ca

You don't know your beaver from the hole in your head.

Many of us make a mighty fine living on our .ca domains. I have 120+ .ca websites and 40-60% of the traffic is from the United States. US traffic is as good as Canadian traffic in my book - and they supply lots of it. Seriously i don't know if I need to just correct you or laugh at your broad and unfortunately seriously hampered thought logic.

Take two seconds out of our day to see the tens of thousands of companies in Canada - most of them multinationals - using .ca domains. Commercials, radio, television - it's everywhere. So if your firm had a problem it wasn't the extension's fault.

And to answer the original question of the thread - I'd buy some quality geo info's why they are still 'cheap' right now.

Hmm..
DNJournal.com shows that out of the YTD largest sales, .ca had 4 entries out of the 300 domains listed and .mobi had 35 or so. I don't invest in either TLD but thought it would be interesting to check out the list. It would be nice to have a total by TLD at the top of this list so we could see where the new winners in sales are every 6 months or so.

You don't know what you are talking about. Domains are quietly being sold behind the scenes (ie, not listed on DNJournal.com) for tens (more common) and even hundreds of thousands of dollars (rarer.)

I sold a .CA in October of this year for US$xxx,xxx. I have personally bought others anywhere from low $x,xxx to upper $xx,xxx. Why don't you ask TD what they bought insurance.ca for?

I'd spend $95,000 building a time machine, then i'd go back to 1992 and spend the other $5000 regging every category name possible in .com

You would only be able to reg until 2002. If you were able to time travel back to 2007 the domains would have expired.

What if the time machine broke/got stolen in 1992? You would be stuck in a strange time without any money or place to live. If you were able to wait it out until year 2000+ you would be around 10 years older. By that time you would have probably sold off the domains for cheap. :lol:

 

[leo]

I would use the funds to buy some nice dot com's and i would develop them.

nope, you'd prob only be able to reg at netsol anyway, in which case, you could put up to 100 years on them. if that option was available then.
after regging, how would you make yourself get back in the machine. there would be so many other things to do :?:

damn, wish i had one :sigh2: :blush:

 

[brian1234]

Cool replies guys, guess I might need to rethink the time machine option ;-)

Otherwise, with $100K now i'd probably lay it all down on idn domains (idn.cn).

Ain't the hole in his head that's the problem. It's the hole in his *ass* that his head is plugging...:smilewinkgrin:

Our .ca's produce a solid 5 figure net income along with a solid 5 figure sales income for us and have done so for several years.

What an idiot! :yes:

And I'd spend 100k on more .ca's in a heartbeat.

Excellent post. Glad you spoke up because some balance was definitely in line.

Nothing like an old school initiation. Wonder if he's sharp enough to learn from it.

If you have good single word generics in a CC TLD, they pay! I was on a wait list for a CC generic over a year ago, it cost me $70 and extended the registration 2 years, Since I got it 5 months ago, its been earning me $65-$78 consistently every month... Try grabbing a .com today for $70 and see what it earns you, Funny thing about this was, I bought it as an investment, not thinking I would get any trafffic or revenue.
