discuss Are domain hacks good??

[Branded Domains]

What do u think about domain hacks???

 

[WhoaDomain.com]

Mobil.es would be even better )

Quick question? In your example. Would MOBIL.ES really be "understood" by good spiders as "mobiles" or just "Mobil"??

Some say yes others say no.

I like them if they make sense. Many of the new extensions rely on domain hacks or at least using the extension as the second keyword like Mountain.bike

Most of the good ones that would be used for the extensions are being held by the registrars and auctioned off for a lot of money.

Mountain.bike was held back from registration to be auctioned off, but for some reason they didn't hold back Mtn.bike for auction (which I grabbed and couldn't believe no one else got it before me). I really like it because it's shorter than Mountain.bike and is perfect for the extension.

I sold:
Foru.ms for a very nice amount.
Musli.ms

I still have:
Chatroo.ms
Condominiu.ms (love it)
Timeshar.es (love it too)

Did you real sell those? Private sale or marketplace auction?

I have a bunch of ideas right now for really good hacks. Just hesitating as I am not selling reported actual sales on Namebio.

Also seems like you only still stick with one keyword domains. Is there a reason for that or could two keywords work too depending ?

eko.praset.io i dont own but cool hh

 

[Branded Domains]

yeah like net.work ..

 

[Muhammad Atif Qazi]

I have one leadership.training. Its getting traffic like 10 uniques a day and 6 HQ backlinks on the domain only

 

[Branded Domains]

I love hacks when they are really short version of your domain and complement for promotion/social media/remembering/sharing purposes like youtube.com youtu.be
washingtonpost.com wpost.com wpo.st

I know only net.work got sold...do u know any other hacks which were sold for handsome price??

 

[Branded Domains]

I normally am not interested in hacks for resale. Only for own projects. Often they are expensive to hold and many ends users don't understand benefits. If there would be .ns tld, I would take reco.ns for example even with 50 dollar renewals

yeah..but startups with brain must use domain hacks...short and sexy..

I approached some companies like Samsung,Canada mobile sasketel..they loved my hack.but they told they will get it when needed

 

[Recons.Com]

No, startup should stick to $500-10000 nice .com unless it is something like send.co or mail.me or news.us that they can buy and is great fit for what they do.

It means they will take it from you. You should never hack a trademarked name.

its not a trademark name...the domain is Mobiles.to

 

[deflee79]

Ah ok sorry missed the domain name.

 

[deflee79]

Mobiles.to with that extension is odd. Honestly i have never even heard of .to. Is that a ccltd?

people use it as Toronto,Tokyo like that..yes .to is for TONGA ...but used by many as hacks like dine.to

[deflee79]

These sales are dated.

 

[deflee79]

It's an exception im afraid. Just my observation.

 

[Branded Domains]

These sales are dated.

[deflee79]
