Someone claimed that he built one of the top 10 domain porfolio in 2 and half years

[james2002]

I saw a domain blog www.facingtheabsurd.com and the blogger claimed in the intro that he built one of the biggest domain porfolio (claimed to be one of top 10) in 2 and half years. He refused to name any of domains from his porfolio.

His claim is here.

http://www.facingtheabsurd.com/2010/02/19/why-ive-started-this-blog-and-whats-it-all-about/

I looked at the whois and I found out following domains are part of his porfolio and many others are now available for registering by others.

q8magic.com
List-resources.com
Ewarez.net

Do you really believe what he said about one of the top 10 porfolio?

A great way to make money in any internet related niche is to make it look like you've been a long time success (and the bigger the success, the better). Look at all the eBooks out there - they never give evidence that they're as successful as they claim, just give their story of how much money they made and a few dozen testemonials about how great the strategy is (even before the book was published).

It's like all those get rich infomercials out there...

the one making the money is the one charging for the product (tapes, dvds, books, etc.)

Looks like he's one of the top ten liars in the world.

somebody can put together the #1 biggest portfolio in 5 mins.

all you have to do is register 1,500,000 domains........ you send a wire transfer to your registrar and its a done deal

he may have lots of cctlds, highly unlikely they are of the same quality of frank schillings, kevin ham, buydomains, .com and .net domains..

LOL I been to that site before when it first launched. I visited that site from other blogs that hyped him now. Now I know they must have got paid good $$$.

I couldn't believe it. I don't know how it is possible for someone to compare with other people's porfolios in dept especially if others use private contact details.

He is telling the truth guys, he is one of Czech Republic's most successful startup enterpreneurs. It's likely that he has the largest portfolio in europe right now

As it's come from you, I'll believe it.

What's the quality like?

as we all know Petros, largest is very different from best
whats his top ten best names?

This guy is quite impressive.

"I was just looking through Bido at the recent sales page. Since Bido get’s so much PR and buzz, I was really surprised about the miniscule amount of volume in dollar terms. Looks like on a typical day maybe $1,000-$1,500 of sales go through. That’s $100-150 of margin for Bido a day. And a hell of a lot of effort is put into that from Sahar’s team with no doubt to even get that result. I don’t really want to show off or anything, but just to put that number in context, I make that kind of money in less than 10 minutes, 24 hours a day, just from parking"

Extrapolate that out and working off of 10 minutes rather than less than 10 minutes (being conservative) means he makes $600-$900/hour or $5,126,400 - $7,689,600/year just in parking.
He's my hero.

i know people who make some nice $ exclusively with cctld portfolios but the reg fees are 2x, 3x sometimes even 10x than dot com...

so really, u can make $5m or even 10m / yr from lets say 200k domains but how much are those 200k cctld domains costing u??

Yeah I'd like to his top ten list to. Also If he is that successful why use the the name facing the absurd for his blog? If he makes the kind of money he says then he could afford a decent blog domain name.

 

[David G]

Pretty amazing :hail: stuff to say the least. Can you imagine how much he would be making based on parking revenue of a few yrs ago! I found this on his blog:

"My various domain holdings are still growing every day. I’m zooming very close to the $20k revenue/day level from parking and expect to hit that level in about two months. With a little luck I think I can hit $30k/day by the end of the year. It’s all about being aggressive with acquisitions, creative with financing etc. It will be a stretch, but I think I can do it."

 

[Fearless]

I think he does it all with .mobis.

Are you sure he is Czech? According to a udrp case he allegedly was the respondent in (which he won even though "The Respondent did not reply to the Complainant’s contentions." it was said by the panel he may be in KENYA?

"Having found that the Complainant has not proven that the domain name in dispute was registered in bad faith the Panel need not decide this issue. The Panel’s research disclosed that a person having the same e-mail address (withheld) as Respondent in this case was the respondent in (withheld) ....... In the (withheld) supra, appears to be a person located in Kenya who claimed to be a “professional lawyer”........

He could have started out by spending $15M on tm's and is telling the truth however he couldn't find anywhere to spend $15M to start and lastly he'd need a legal team to handle wipo's and C&D's round the clock. If his claim is generic its obvious BS. Maybe small amount like $XXXXXXX in tms and built to double+ no problem.

A great way to make money in any internet related niche is to make it look like you've been a long time success (and the bigger the success, the better).

Nooo not in our industry, I don't believe it

btw np's, dnf and others will feature a JP backround starting this month in gold and green, annoying banner ads, mass emails etc. I will also start lending funds to buy names I dont even know the value of and take over a confrence. I may also climb a mountain in my bear feet, hug playboy models and ask for support while doing it. This will be followed up by me getting stuck with the names I lent on, so expect many private offers to come your way and screwing up the biggest confrence around.

Maybe this is a satire blog like Domain Gang?
