How about this for a waste - bush.com

if you are not going to make any money off a good domain, I prefer this:
fuck.org

I'll sell you fuckherstupid.com for $1 billion! haha

yea, and all while waiting for some sucker to pay $100k for a $1k domain....

thats a pretty sweet name

I just LOL'D at your OMFG.

Some of last weeks reported sales, not YTD only a weeks worth.

1. iReport.com $750,000 Pvt Sale
2. MaturePorn.com $130,000 Moniker/Internext
3. GreenMonday.com $76,500 NameJet
4. SEO.de ?48,000 = $70,896 Sedo
5. ChefUniforms.com $65,000 Pvt Sale

And you value HOT.COM at $100k? :error

Well free to your opinion, but I have little doubt that hot.com would easily go in the 5 to 10 million range at least.

Its done around 300,000 uniques a month as far back as Alexa goes. With nothing but crap on the page for the life of the domain. That means those are mainly typins. If the owner started a campaign either mainstream on tv, or adult and pushed it the easy to remember short to type in domain would be a huge hit. And remember its not sex.com so there is no taboo with it.

Take a look at Sex.com vs hot.com vs shemale.com Remember sex.com has had many advertising campaigns, and people making traffic trades etc etc. Shemale.com Im sure had the same. Now look at the steady traffic on hot.com that has had none of that. Though if you do go back a ways you see huge traffic on sex.com but that shows you it wasnt all typins back then. Hot.com is a steady steady traffic producer with little effort.

$100k is a silly number to apply to a 3 letter VERY popular term.

Many of the very best domain names will never actually have anything on them because domain traders will just keep buying and selling amongst themselves, raising the prices up and up yet never having anything but a parked page on them.

It's sad :(

There's some funny domain owners out there. :1orglaugh

You and others grossly underestimate how much parked domains make.

I have a few descent ones (nowhere near as good as hot.com) and they bring in $100 or so a day each.

A very good domain name can easily make 2 or 3 thousands daily.

Talk about an amazing waste.

See now

http://www.ice.com smart. :thumbsup

and to think you started this thread giving advice to others...wooohh :helpme:1orglaugh

Sarcasm lost in translation :1orglaugh

FUCK!! THIS IS NOT TRUE!!! Well, he demands peace, which is ok - but what the fuck, a really hot domain there PR5 // 2,5k YBacklinks // 8 years old - great SEO and great type in value... FUCK that! :error

I can't figure out why no ones tried to kick up a stink with the local media about a school board/district owning such a valuable domain and only using it for employee email addresses. Seems if the local taxpayers knew what they owned they might not be as receptive to a property tax increase the next time one is proposed.

http://www.summer.com/

You took my quote about a few specific domains that get about 25 hits a day and tried to claim this was my assessment of domain parking in general.

You'd make a good politician.

This conversation started abot a few domains I was looking at, not hot.com, sex.com etc... someone else brought that up. You can't go back to the top of the thread and try to relate what I said then to hot.com that wasn't even mentioned until way after my original post.

And don't tell us about "secret" domains you own that make $100 from parking. List the domains if you have them and maybe someone will offer you $5 million.

Unless this is a "one room school district" selling that domain won't lower anyone's taxes.

Ok, then my advice to you is go ahead and pay $12 million for hot.com

I mean, if 18k visitors a month is worth $12 million then you got something.

600 hits a day is not worth $12 million to me.
Especially when 300 of the hits everyday are political fanatics forcing
there friends to "see this video". :1orglaugh

I would rather buy duhduh.com for $9.99 and buy 10k-100k hits a day with the rest of the money.

The big domain investors are so rich that selling for $2k means nothing to them and isn't worth the time.

It wouldn't sell for 12 mil but it will definitely sell for 1 mil if the guy ever decides to sell.

Who said anything about lowering taxes?
I live in a metro area with 5+ million people and they discussed opening the outdoor rinks at our parks last year 2 months later then usual to save something like $55,000. The local school board is closing down 22 high school pools, also used by local communities, due to a shortage of funds for the necessary repairs. There are any number of financial problems that selling that domain and using a $8.95 domain instead could solve in my area and the district that owns this domain is much much smaller.

How much do you think summer.com is worth? $25,000, $100,000, $500,000, $1 million +?

You don't understand alexa rankings, they also inclde page views in the ranking calculation.

Site-one with 300 hits and 1 page view per hit ranks below
Site-two with 250 hits and 45 page views per hit.

host.com gets about 5k a month, that's nowhere near 1000 hits a day.

http://siteanalytics.compete.com/host.com/?src=dt100

You have no idea what its like to think like a billion dollar company. They don't give a shit about hits, they want brandability, something they can put on tv, magazines, etc. You're thinking too much like a webmaster.

Siteanalytics is so far off its crazy. One of my sites gets over 200k uniques a month, and it shows 5k. Please try again. lol Alexa gives a better idea of hot.com and again I would say its 300k plus comparing it to what my site is showing. And not sure if you still dont understand the marketablity of such a a domain name. Easy as pie to remember to type in later. Would be a HUGE entity for advertising whatever product was put on it.

Put his wife naked please :)

That's the real question here : "What is a domain worth".

"worth" and "selling price" are not the same thing to a smart investor.

Worth can somewhat be calculated by the prior performace of the domain,
it may not be accurate, but it is a figure with truthful data to back it up.

Selling price can be influenced by competition for the domain without regards to it's actual worth.

If 30 multi-million dollar companies all want to buy shoe.com then it will sale to the bidder who can fork out the most simply because they want to win the game. Nike don't want to lose any battle with converse, that might send the wrong message about the companies position in the market.

If 500 different summer youth camps all want summer.com but no major players are interested then don't expect a massive windfall.

Believe me, if the schoolbaord ever gets a "substantial" offer they would call a meeting and vote wether or not to sell.

They aren't secret and there is no need to list since they aren't for sales.

Picked a few more at the Live extended auction that ended a couple days ago actually :thumbsup

Only 1000 visitors per day on a parked page (generic, no typo or expired traffic) will easily make $100 per day. CTR of 60% at $0.2 per click = $120

If you think these are big numbers in the parking business it shows how little you know about parking.

I know that big companies don't give a shit about hits and can brand the name.

What you don't get is that they can also brand any fucking name!!

Google.com didn't mean shit until a company branded it and they didn't rely on buying some "cool" sounding name with 3 letters.

Neither did yahoo, or youtube or thehun or blacksonblondes and last but not least mydaughtersfuckinganigga.com :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

But somebody fucked up and relied on Go.com :1orglaugh

Pop.com is a good name too, but too bad they thought the name itself was enough. The only hits on pop.com are probably from employees who have manditory viewing imposed on them. :1orglaugh

I can think of a few people who have tried to acquire the domain without any luck and they're not the type to make low ball offers . Hell, I think you might even be able to find a thread or two on this board from 4-5 years ago where people mention their attempts to buy summer.com without any success.

I think those numbers are correct however I think you are full of shit when you say you own such domains and can't even post one.

I'm not in disagreeent with you about domain parking; it's more like you can't fuckng read and are trying to make a "non-point" that has nothing to do with anything I said.

Once again: I looked at 5 "specific" domains that get about 25 hits a day and only make $5 a month from parking and those names could sell for thousands with very little effort.

Nobody is debating about profits that can had from parking, just domains that are under performing and are better off sold.

Without mentioning prices that information is useless.

You "know" they make good offers, but you don't know what they offered.
The judge would dismiss you from the witness stand with this information and tell the jury to ignore hearsay.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh ... and I KNOW you don't have a clue what you are talking about

Oh and you'd have to be a complete moron to post a link to a parked page you own, best way to get invalid clicks and trouble.

But to make you happy as soon as it is out of escrow I'll post the domain I just bought at auction, since I intend to develop it :thumbsup

:1orglaugh Looks like you've had a little bit too much :pimp for today :warning

Your first intelligent post in this thread. Congrats.

You've yet to make one though. :1orglaugh

Congrats on being a total idiot since posting the domain without http means it can't be clicked and everyone would have to type in and give you legitimate traffic.

What a clown. :1orglaugh

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Sadly, I'm just getting started. :1orglaugh

Way to negate my earlier congrats. I am out of here. You obviously have better drugs than any of us.

Trying to change the subject? It would be hidden, not legitimate.

As for the idiot/clown comment I guess it is all you have left to say after showing how little you know about an important aspect of this business. :2 cents:
