Quick Advice Needed! Would you pay $3,050 for MobilePornTube.com?
 

Please all-

I need some advice would you pay $3,050 for MobilePornTube.com (Just the domain name)????

I need to decide by the end of the day.


Thanks in advance.

if i had a use for it sure.

i dont do mobile tho so i have no use for it.

i sold a tube domain for $1500 a few months ago forgot to take ot off sedo and just got a 4k offer for the same domain

lol

yes if i would think i can make 300k there :D

do you have a development strategy.. or buying just to hold it?

you can't possibly be serious:1orglaugh

I wouldn't pay $20 for it

I have the development strategy. I can build on it easy... but is it worth $3,050 initially?

i like ToGoTube.com better since it is mobile oriented and versatile enough to have both adult and nonadult content

Depends on if PornTube.com has that URL copywritten.

If you buy MobilePornTube.com, PornTube.com can legally request the domain from you and get it.

That sounds farfetched I allready own http://OnlinePornTube.com

no one has made a stink about that?


Please help me I need to act today..
Is it a good name?
I would hade to waste money on a bad name.?

that price is not mobile for me

bump for help?

From the site PornTube.com:

PornTube is a Trademark of EMC Ideas, Inc. ? 2005-2009. All Rights Reserved.

I'm not saying PornTube will want the domains or even care, I'm just saying it has happened.

Good domain for $3k i would say pick it up...

Actually in retrospect I know the owner of Porntube and I would suggest you leave it alone LOL!

Thanks! Everyone keeps telling me this...

Prime example why you should have money saved-

I blew so much money last month- now this opportunity. (I just dont want to over-extend myself)

What does PornTube have to do with my purchase?

Isnt there money for us all?

I have the shorter iMobileTube.com .....it also has the added value it can be used for mainstream or adult (increases $$$$ ) and could be used for many other subjects if the porn side didnt work out....

email [email protected] if interested.

Thanks

plus....100 percent...no trademark issues !

PornTube would have to trademark the name MobilePornTube in order to demand the domain. You can't tack on additional words and have the trademark hold. That being said, you could trademark it first if you really wanted to protect yourself.

But as everyone else said, it's all about what you plan to do with it. If you believe the site you plan on building is worth a $3k investment on a domain name then go for it!

guess you are listening to the wrong "everyone" :1orglaugh

You are using their trademarked name in a URL that YOU get money from. So where is their money from you using their trademarked name?

This isn't the first time and it certainly won't be the last. You asked if you should buy it, some told you yes, some said no. You only wanted to hear the "yes" and not take any other advice into consideration.

Sounds like you already know what you are gonna do ...

Why would you do that when you can buy pornanywhere.com from me? :)

hmm .. I think that's Not their trademarked name .. if it's then damn .. there's a big mess .. porntube.com,pornotube.com etc.. and that's not only with "porn" and "tube" but a lot of other trademarks

just my tc.

just get .me for 10 bux mang

Thanks for the advise! ... DisneyPornTube.com here I come!

Stick to ur day job :2 cents:

Sounds good, but it's not the law.

I can build IAmAPlayBoy.com, and as long as I'm not marketing/designing/offering anything that could confuse a consumer into thinking my site or products are related to or connected to Playboy.com, in any way, there would not be an issue.

Of course, Playboy could file infringement all they want. But, the case is whether the consumer would be confused. if my site was all about me being a playboy in my travels around the world, then there would be no brand confusion, and thus no case.

Obviously this case is hypothetical. I won't be buying and building out that domain. Please don't hurt me, Playboy :)

Blatantly incorrect.

Google: "trademark dilution"

Right, as long as there is clear differentiation of the products there is no infringing. Or if he bought PornTubeXXX and promoted PornTube, then you are fine there too.

I just want to be clear I'm not saying PornTube is coming after this guy, I don't know if they would even care. I'm just giving a heads up on what has happened in the past and will happen again in the future with similar domain names.

well, chances are he is going to be building a porntube.com like site. just for mobile. yea maybe not the same design. but some sort of video site similar.

Actually, PornTube.com could come after you for using PornTubeXXX. I've had that happen with a certain sponsor over a domain that had their name it. of course, I was pushing their site. Problem was, my serps were far better than theirs.

The problem with porntubexxx.com is aligned with what you said above. The XXX doesn't modify the meaning of the domain words in a significant way. With "playboy", the word can be used in a prior definition, which of course is why Playboy is using it as their brand. With "porntube", there is no prior definition or usage, and it would be a really case to say you were using it in a way non-consistent with a porn tube site :)

We're actually on the same page - just talking about different aspects of it.

And yeah - who knows what the owner of PornTube.com would do.

One reason I probably wouldn't invest in a name with "mobile" tacked on, is that the future will see people building mobile capabilities into their main sites. The word "mobile", et al, will become superfluous. Just extra baggage and entirely unneeded. Except for possibly a pure SE play...

I have the same attitude about .mobi. In a few years, the devices will consume the regular web just fine, with some creative and graceful degradation of full blown browser code to mobile browser compatability.

For instance, my blackberry javelin browses web sites just fine using IE mode. Of course, the text is so freakin' tiny I need reading glasses to use it :)

Yeah, I know some sponsors that are like that. When we first started with TopBucks, we wouldn't register the .net, .org or misspells. We left them for the WMs to register to promote us. Now we register the whole gauntlet for one domain name.


Yes, it will just become extra especially with .mobi increasing in popularity. But for right now until the mobile market gets bigger, you are right that "mobile" in the domain is good for SEO.

I don't see any reason why that domain would be worth anything close to 3k. :2 cents:

my answer is NO

This domain goes to auction Monday.....If anyones interested in saving auction fees..hit me up. :winkwink::)

Have a great weekend...

I'm not going to pull an Evan or Claire and spam you with similar considerably worse tube names trying to "help". I will say that if you intend to develop the domain, it MIGHT be worth the $3k. Personally, if I were buying to hold and/or sell, I would pay maybe $500 for a name like that at most. $3k is high to me, but I don't develop. The term mobile porn tube does avg 2,900 monthly searches per Google Keyword Tool, and given tube traffic isn't worth much, tapping into that search traffic isn't worth as much either, but it's worth enough to pay some money for it.

I don't think its worth it. id pay like $1500 max

definitely not worth $3500

Kristin you would be one hell of a lawyer. :pimp:helpme :1orglaugh

Try searching for Twistys and Sextube.com

I hope that guy did not buy that long ass domain . If you got 3k to blow I would sell you sexyslutsxxx.com . That other domain is just way to long.
