doc, you don't know much about domain names... do you? :blush:
you got a lot of catching up to do
use the search function to read up the archives
This is exactly what I will not do because I know the archieves by heart.
Only dot com
no numbers
no hyphens
nothing over seven letters long
Look familiar?
It should. That is the basic rules to domaining from 10-15 years ago. See, domainers have not grown up but the internet has.
Everything I learned about domaining I learned from people like you. Everything I learned about marketing, advertising, technology, the arts, the sciences, technology, emerging markets I did not learn from a single domainer.
Not one.
And not a single domain god, demi-god, or god wannabee like you can put one and one together. I take that back, perhaps I know of 5 who can combine skills and know the difference between the domaining business and the business of domaining.
ccTLD's are hot these days because of someone like Rick creates a forum and adds hype and new money into it. Meanwhile, the Germans and Dutch prefer their own tld to conduct trade, business, and commerce.
Biggest players are cashing out and the way to cash out is to pump and dump and hype up that market.
that is my advice for domainers starting out who want to get their feet wet --- go with what is proven, can't go wrong with buying up good dot com's... what do you gotta say about that? :lol:
Why you want to regurgitate what was said 5, 10, 15 years ago is beyond me.
See, every thing you learned about domaining you learned from those same people I alluded to earlier. Not only do you live by those rules you regurgitate the same formula to a different audience.
This shows me that you have not gained anything outside of domaining to combine with domaining to be a force to be reckoned with. Nothing. You end up with domainers trading domains and the same ballsy sweat smelling dollar bills. You hold this for a little while, he'll hold that one, then everyone changes hands, the money and the domains stay in the same circle. Thus the circle jerk effect - everyone stroking each other telling them they like the other one better and just has to hold it and stroke it.
If domain archieves is what you live by, then die by it as well clutching those printed out yellow brittle pages in your gangrenous fingers.
Hey ... settle down you two.. objectively there are strength to both business models and your distracting from the OP, open up a thread and debate. Not everyone is always going to agree with you...
Nothing to debate further than what has already been said.
Time and time again.
