i-m.com

The domain "i-m.com" is for sale, with a min. offer of $10,000.

It used to be an Internet Marketing list, and is still in the top 20 on Google for that search term.

I'm wondering if you folks think it's worth the 10,000 asking price, and whether v7n.com or i-m.com is better.

Not sure, but that is minimum price, and it will probably be grabbed for a lot more

Probably true. Which do you think is better - v7n.com, or i-m.com? I'm thinking i-m.com is a bit generic.

Just develop the v7n brand...

10k spent on promoting this brand is better than 10k spent on a domain that you will need to promote, anyway.

It's my opinion that both have moderate value as a domain name alone. But with developement that changes, and in reality the value will be based on the end-users final offer. Having a steady flow of "Quality" traffic can make any domain name worth something to someone. If you change v7n to i-m That would be a bad choice. Worse than changing your phone number just after you gave it to thousands of people and contacts.

The value of i-m.com is in its links. It was an Internet marketing list for a long, long time and has a ton of links with "Internet marketing" in the anchor.

So now you have to ask yourself how much those links are worth to you. Will you benifit 10k from people who had the intention of going somewhere specific ? It is possible to grab their attention and perhaps attract some quality traffic. I personally think you have something good going already and that on it's own will bring a steady flow to "the dark side".

If the traffic is Internet marketing related, and we develop an Internet marketing related site on the domain, the traffic would definitely be quality traffic. But, it's not my style. I'd rather spend the ten grand promoting it myself.

The domain market is not unlike the many other collecter crazes that have hit us over the last couple of decades. I hear often how different it is, and yes, there are differences. I've been involved in other ventures outside of the internet where the same rules apply. Long story short: They all peek and drop. All of them, and this one will to. When domains drop, they are going to drop hard too, and cost some people their lifes savings unfortunately. It's alot due to "shock-play" People are stunned to see the value of a name they wanted to register on a whim or for their business. After they see the price the domain squatter wants they try for alternative names (they are all taken too, and for sale at inflated prices). Then some of them (the collecter type, and investor type) will fall into the trap. Many get burned bad. More than is advertised. You will find more positive words on the topic than negative. The ones who get burned are too embarrased to admit it, or they just want to move on. So you dont here about all the tragedies.

Websites will grow, developement will always have value. Any domain can draw traffic if you put yourself into the job and have something to offer. Internet years are like dog or cat years, things change fast and finding what your looking for on the net realy has little to do with the name of the domain. As each day passes people are developing search engines and new ways to go about your internet experience. Damn, maybe in a year from now there wont even be the need to type a url into your browser. All those adsense sites will be in there own little area where nobody will surf.. Getting into search engines as a site might take a little more to qualify soon. I know too that if the general public realized that google.com has their own agenda outside what they offer. They offer a great search, but in fact your results are based on who pays more.

Added snippet:

People are selling 3 letter and 3 character .coms based on availability. 3 letter dot coms are rare, but only because collectors own them. The only demand is from the people selling the product. I often see people selling domains and I'll see a list of hundreds of 3 characters from one guy alone.

I own close to a thousand names, and I know what i say doesnt bring the value up at all. But I'm not a pirate. I've been in the "Domain" community a while now, and that community is a cold place. People dont share the best info too quickly. creates competition.

Kevin.


Hrmm.. I think i meant to post these last two in another thread. hehe.
