Domain
 

I don't get the domain game and why people register all kinds of domains.
A shitty domain will still be shitty in 50 years!
There is no big money to be made in domains anymore, you idiots!

Why would somebody for example hold a domain like pepsipepsi.com?
The domain can never be used. Search engines don't direct much traffic to parked domains.
Pretty stupid to even register it in the first place.

Mostly because domainers are collectively the biggest wannabes on the internet. Go read the domain forums. Those idiots are so clueless.

Buying domains can be addictive, just ask my accountant... argh!

domains can be collected to flip for resale multiples that make most people drool

also names can be used to help build traffic, protect a trademark, for seo and sem... to over generalize domainers is missing some of the legit uses of collecting names.

I'll take "Things people say that are pissed off that their shitty domain they wanted to register was unavailable say" for $500 please Alex.

...said the idiot :1orglaugh

Whatever yous say.

I just turned down an offer of 10K on a 3 word mainstream domain. We have thousands of domains but develop them as quick as we can. If an offer comes along on a domain that is too good to pass up we might sell. Flipping however isn't our business model.

pepsipepsi.com - doesn't sound too bad. There could be money in it.

There is no money in domains.

:winkwink:

Whoever's holding a name like PepsiPepsi.com is a fucking dumbass. Don't loop those people in with those of us that make a living selling domains. Just because you don't know how to find good available domains or good deals on the secondary market doesn't mean they're not out there. I bought one for a little over $300 last month that I sold 2 weeks later for $4,000, and it wasn't the first time I've had quick flips like that. I'd like to see someone do that with a stock, bond, currency trade, real estate, or other form of investment.
