It’s already expired now and in my pending deactivation list in Moniker. You still think its a good domain? You can save it for maybe as long as a few more days (proof of concept).

I hardly ever use affiliate links on my blog. Probably been a couple of years since the last time. I’ve found most to not pay well and they tend to make people question the validity of the article. I have a bunch of advertisers who paya set rate, and I am content with that.

I have found that some people assume the article was only written to make a couple dollars from the affiliate link. With the new NJ affiliate program, it seems there have been a lot of NJ articles lately.

As far as the new gTLDs are concerned, I think .CO will do just fine because:
1. It has 2 year jumpstart ahead of them
2. It’d take a revolution to get people to switch from .com to .web or .site
3. .Co is closer to .Com than any of those
4. There are already successful .CO sites on the internet

Are you trying to say that you are so snowed under with 20x sales to bother with a 100% net profit as you see it? Give me a break…I don’t know anyone, multi-millionaires included, who would pass it by if they;
a. believed it
b. had the resources to do it

You are welcome to make an offer on it to try and change my mind. My use for it has pretty much proven not useful. Ironically I’m sure someone will buy it in the drop.

1) Even terrible names sell in the drop. If its 4 chars or less any extension or any pronounceable word meaning anything it will sell in the drop 99.9% of the time, even if you couldn’t pay someone to take it off your hands previously.

2) NameJet is in a whole other league. Great place to sell domains. Even better to buy there for long term hold. Gotta be careful there for a flip because they get the high wholesale price for the domains that nobody else could get close to.

@Rick, thanks for doing this experiment. I had the idea to start a domain business off the concept of threatenening to delete or drop names and try to sell them with the idea that people would rather buy them before the drop auction. It was a scary prospect to test because I’d have to follow through and delete/drop the name I was threatening on. I think you’ve proven that this business model doesn’t work. Just to substantiate this claim so you know I’m not full of sh*t it was supposed to operate on the domain NameThreat.com which I own however looks like I’m going to let it drop next cycle. Funny I’ll bet someone picks it up on the drop too.

I know moves like this are going to get attention no matter what because he’s a big investor, but there are probably multiple things at play here.

I don’t think there’s any way to value NNN.co right now. There have been more LLL sales, but even those have been all over the place. I don’t necessarily think Rick’s move means all of those domains are worthless – it just means they weren’t worth enough to him, or that he has other things to pursue in the long run. If anyone can point out a developed NNN.co, that would be great, because I haven’t seen any. I wouldn’t want several hundred of them (but that’s just me). I only have 2.

I’m only interested in making 20x 30x 50x to offset registration costs so a 1:1 return does not make sense.

You are the sorest of the sore losers. You let your emotions get the better of you and making a fool of yourself.

So if you are such a smart investor Wayne, why not buy them from me for $100 each and double your money? You are assured of making $9000 or are your words and wallet empty and your mind full of shit? It takes some balls to make some money, let’s see some balls or do you just huff and puff?

So if the .co whores won’t buy, what does it say about the extension?

Businessmen know the difference between throwing good money after bad, blowhards just know about being blowhards.

I realize many domainers have negative thoughts on .CO and certainly express their opinions on forums, blog comments, and in articles but there are many of us that stay away from the negativity and focus on developments and domain sales just remember that if you are on the fence whether to keep your .CO’s or dump them. Also remember .CO came in to some rough times and succeeded tremendously!

He likes to make dramatic foolish statements to get off on his ego. Trying to sell his NNN.Co on his site is like trying to sell at a garage sale in his lawn to the world.

When they drop, this will be snatched up in the $200 range each. I assure you.

I have sold a few LLL.Co’s for $1,500 this year.

Does anyone know of any good quality .Co renewal coupon ?

Elliot

When are you going to post an article requesting for .Co renewal coupons like you did last year ?
