I was looking through the list of auctions on Namecheap this morning, and the number of one word .app domain names caught my attention. From the looks of it, I think these may be expiry auctions, but my confidence level in that observation is not very high and I did not do an exhaustive search.
A handful of the .app domain names that stand out to me based on the number of TLDs registered are:
Atom.com users have many different settings. Some are universal across a portfolio, and others are individually set for each domain name. One particular setting I never understood was “Clear Cache.” This option sits under the “Other Options” heading in a user’s control panel. I had been curious about it but never understood the need for it.
Yesterday morning, I updated the price of a domain name I thought was underpriced. I increased it a few thousand dollars and visited the landing page to make sure it was showing up correctly. Strangely, the original price first flashed on the landing page and it then changed to the updated price. I checked on an incognito browser and another browser I don’t use and the same thing happened. I did this multiple times, and each time, the old price briefly showed before flipping to the higher price.
I haven’t done much outbound marketing to sell my domain names recently. I’ve done it on occasion, but it’s less frequent these days. The reasons I don’t do much of it is a combination of not wanting to seem like I need to sell a domain name and not having a ton of success with selling via outbound.
Perhaps I haven’t had much success with outbound marketing because I am mostly choosing domain names that have had less inbound interest. Without these attributes, there’s probably less intrinsic interest in these domain names. I have also typically chosen domain names I am okay selling for less money since most people tend to try to negotiate a better deal if they respond to an outbound email.
Nearly all of the domain names my company owns are listed for sale on landing pages that clearly indicate they are available to purchase. Even those that aren’t – like this one – have a contact form to allow someone to get in touch very easily. In my experience, the vast majority of inquiries that are done via Whois record are spam.
In my recent memory, I can only think of two domain names that I sold after receiving an inquiry via Whois, and both were a fair amount of time ago. In fact, one was sold on a three year payment plan at Dan.com, and that deal closed two years ago. A second deal ended up being a BIN deal but I don’t recall exactly when it sold.
I regularly visit my Afternic control panel to look at search numbers. I think it’s helpful for me to understand which domain names are getting searched at GoDaddy and how much they may be in demand. Afternic currently shows the GoDaddy search volume for listed domain names in 30, 90, and 365 day increments, as well as by unique and total searches.
I think this data is helpful. I think it is particularly helpful when I see a domain name have a high total search volume but a smaller unique search volume. To me, this indicates that one prospective buyer is searching for one of my domain names multiple times. This could, in turn, get me to add a BIN price, enable or add length to the LTO term, or raise/lower my BIN price depending on the situation.
There’s been a lot of talk on domain investor discussion outlets regarding .SI domain names. .SI is the ccTLD extension for the country of Slovenia, and the extension is managed by the Academic and Research Network of Slovenia rather than a marketing firm looking to grow the extension.
Lately, as AI and .AI domain names have grown in breadth and value, a number of domain investors have discussed how .SI can stand for “superintelligence” in a similar fashion to how the Anguilla ccTLD became popular amongst AI startups and companies. The thought, it seems, is that now is an early time to buy .SI domain names akin to 10+ years ago for .AI domain names.
