The Different Types of Domainers Domain informer, IL - 1 hour ago They know exactly which domain they can sell and to whom and for how much. If they can buy domains that they can sell immediately (1hr to 3 months) for … The Investor These are the sharpest of them all. Buy good quality when prices are low, hold long term, sell high. These guys hold onto assets, maybe even develop them, ensure that they’re hot and in demand when the market is totally ripe, then sell them. The advantages of emulating this type is that you can afford to sell 1% of your portfolio each year and still manage to pull in the major bucks. The downside is renewals, unless your portfolio generates enough revenue, this cost needs to be factored in. People like Frank Schilling, Rick Schwartz, Sahar Sarid, Adam Dicker, Michael Goldman and probably most of the other big ticket guys will be found in this group. The Flipper These guys live to make a fast buck and sometimes the ‘buck’ can be a hundred thousand dollars or more on great buys. They know exactly which domain they can sell and to whom and for how much. If they can buy domains that they can sell immediately (1hr to 3 months) for higher valuation, they’re very liable to take the deal. This kind can be equated to the floor traders of yore. They’re fast, nimble and never hold large portfolios, in fact some only have the one domain they want to sell, right now, before moving on the next big deal. There is a lot of money to be made this way too, however its short term, here and now. So if you don’t sell, you don’t churn. I’ve seen some huge success stories in this lot too, Derek Giordano and Reece Berg are top of the mind here. The Developer Theres one more breed of domainer who makes money by doing something with their properties, hand regs, niche domains and the type. They take the domain, develop it, add content, do seo, market it and voila…….

America.com could fetch one of the highest prices ever paid for a domain.

“America.com; Premium Virtual Real Estate headed to Auction”

Nyon, Switzerland, May 6, 2008 -America.com is officially up for grabs!

Will America embrace the best domain name or will it fall into the hands of another country? We will soon find out, as this potential record-breaking domain sale will be one for the record books!

Internet Media Consultants SA has been hired as the exclusive broker for the sale of the Super-Premium domain name: America.com. IMC have partnered with GreatDomains.com, a division of Sedo.com to hold the upcoming online auction, which is scheduled from
May 22, 2008, 2:00pm EST to May 29, 2008, 2:00pm EST.

“We have already had an amazing amount of interest from corporations and investors around the world, says Paolo Belcastro, Director of IMC. This is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity and the domain name will most likely never be sold again.”

Several international industry experts, have valued the domain in the $3.5-$7.3 million range. The reserve price is set above $1,000,000 U.S. dollars and expected to surpass numerous previous sales records.

Industry analysts have recently defined this world-class domain name as an “instant business”, and also calculating it to be within the top 1% of the best domain names in the world. This domain lends itself to an unlimited array of possibilities, business models and future revenue streams.

In 1999, the domain name “Business.com” was sold for $7.5 Million U.S. Dollars. In just a few years the developed Business.com domain name was resold to R.H. Donnelly for over $345 Million U.S. Dollars. America.com lends itself to a very similar possible situation for future development.

Protect your company from cybersquatters Business Standard, India - 7 hours ago All these domain names are booked by someone else. Most top stars are guilty as well. Salman Khan, Rajinikanth, Kareena Kapoor, Hrithik Roshan don’t own … What is the official website address of Amitabh Bachchan? You are wrong if you thought it is www. AmitabhBachchan.com. You are again wrong if you thought it is www. AmitabhBachchan.in or .net. All these domain names are booked by someone else. Most top stars are guilty as well. Salman Khan, Rajinikanth, Kareena Kapoor, Hrithik Roshan don’t own their own domain names. It’s not just film stars who are dumb when it comes to online brand consciousness. Top companies like Tata, State Bank of India, The Hindu newspaper, Satyam Computers have had their domain names booked by opportunistic miscreants. They all had to fight painful court battles to regain their online identities.Cybersquatting is the habit of booking domain names for which you don’t have trademark rights. There are people who book domain names for the sole purpose of profiting from the domain by either selling advertisements or selling the domain name at a later date for a higher amount. Or worse, they may use it for pornography or criminal activities such as phishing for passwords and bank account details. State Bank of India learnt it the hard way. An Australian had booked www.sbicards.com and made the website look so authentic that he managed to fool big companies like Chase Manhattan bank into advertising on his site………
