For Sale lottery.net

What a joke. That price would have made sense with a business plan (distributing winning numbers for example and targeting other gambling related sites) or something of that nature.

But paying that just to park it on a standard network?

Hmm, only 93,696 more clicks to go and the domain will be half paid for.

Way to go!

True parking a good domain like lottery.net with decent traffic is not the way to go. Keyword just doesnt pay that much in a parking service. I think the highest i saw on ovt bids was 26 cents. Hopefully they have something creative in the works.

Maybe paying for $40k for domains like these is so tiring, there is no more energy left to do anything but to park it? Jus speculating...

The last thing I am going to worry about is name Admin maximizing
the return on their domains.

:-D

But why should they develop? They are making enought with PPC, have some nice cash to reinvest. Why spend money on developing if they can buy new domains for that money? I

I dont care how much money a person has ... Spending 40k on a domain with hopes to make a dollar or two per day is just plain stupid. Even if there plan is to hold out for a bigger end-user sales return on there investment, it still wouldnt hurt to do a little something more with the name.

Culinary.com bought from Pool at $150K almost 2 years ago, and it's still a PPC site.

Why do you think that he earn $1-2/day? Many of my domains earn $20-$30 per day from PPC.

Lottery: Advertiser's Max Bid: $0.25

What lottery domains do you have parked that earn $20-$30 per day from PPC .biz?

Lottery.org was worth the cash because of the traffic it generates on a daily basis. I'm not sure about .orgs in general but this one also had extra brand value since many official lotteries use the .org. I believe a similar comment was made in a previous post, so whoever said that is exactly right.

Mind you, if the .net traffic is high, who knows... though I don't like .net domains for branding usually.

I expect the new owner will park the domain until they are ready to launch their product or service. Even if they don't have anything specific in mind, if they hold on to the domain there will always be buyers out there willing to pay the same price or higher.

In terms of PPC prices, bingo and lotteries and very related, so CTR is still high for bingo terms. Bingo PPC can go as high as £5 / $10 or so in the UK for instance, it depends who you are partnered with.

There is a big difference between the term "lottery" and higher paying terms such as "poker", "bingo", "casino", "slots", etc...

By difference, I mean that just because someone buys a physical lottery ticket, doesn't mean you can suddenly redirect them to poker or an online casino. Most likely lottery players simply want to check their tickets!

In terms of parking there is a far lower revenue draw with "lottery" than actual online gambling related terms.

But you're right. There will probably be someone willing to pay the price for this domain someday. Most like Domain Name Admin is just whittling down their purchase price until that day comes.

it was a high price for the name imo...

You have to keep in mind that some of these companies are making $$$,$$$ per month. Rather than paying taxes on their profits, they probably pay themselves a small salary, then reinvest the remainder, building additional assets which bring in even more money.

Think like the rich...

it's a nice short keyword domain... i am sure they will manage to resell this name for many times of what they had originally paid for it sooner or later to an end-user without a problem.

whatever traffic this domain does receive is very valuable and...would convert nicely with a gambling affiliate program or something like that and earn $XXX per day easily.

Very interesting. What year would that be approximately?

Paying way too much for assets is how the rich end up dirt poor.

Look at the dot com bubble.

i don't know and don't really care.. it's none of my business... but, probably sooner then you think.

I could see where that would be the case for a large corp. But when it comes to a handful of employees, that are already earning their desired salaries, you can't go wrong with building your businesses net worth and lowering taxes at the same time.
