TLD's and Internet Real Estate!

Top Level Domain Names or TLD’s for short; are truly internet real estate this year! The domain industry is extremely hot mainly because of the lack of available DOT COM addresses. A select few sellers will be parting with TLD trifectas, meaning the .COM, .NET and .ORG will be posted as a group listing and set price. Each offer made by the buyer may or may not be accepted by the seller. It all depends how attractive the offer is. In any case, the “broker” or TLD agent is left out of the deal so there’s no “middleman” to get in the way. Business is conducted under your terms and conditions but don’t worry, there are resources available once you’ve logged to download and act as a guide to facilitate the trust transaction.

There’s no time like the present to make a good internet property investment. Whether you’re selling or buying, TLDOffers.com offers a self-service opportunity with a minimal charge to conduct business privately and securely. Although some of the domain names on TLDOffers.com may seem a tad high; just think about how much more these TLD’s will be worth in the months to come. Recently, WEBPRO.COM marketed and sold FRONTDOOR.COM. As part of the promise, an NDA was signed and honored not to disclose the “BUYER” or the final amount. However, it was a windfall ROI considering it was once purchased for less than $20.00. If you have a domain name and curious to know its’ value then you’re one click away from having it appraised.

Things to consider before selling a domain name are:

Word Count : The shorter the better. For instance; cleintgroup.com is made of a two word count. This domain name could be used for consulting or financial markets.

Marketability : Do you think your TLD would have market share and appeal? Decide if it’s for a small, medium or large market.

Clarity: Does the domain name represent what it spells? There are many guidelines and gauges used in determining the value in a TLDN or top level domain name so the more obvious the better.

Memorable : Another key point indicator in expressing the worth of a domain name is the “Memorability Factor”. If the domain name is unforgettable then you just may have something someone may want.

You may have a diamond in the rough...

A diamond's cost is based on the characteristics known as the "4 C's". Clarity, Color and Cut (proportion) are the quality elements which together with the Carat Weight determine the value of a stone. A Top Level Domain may be appraised and certified just like a baseball card or comic book. A true TLD connoisseur will be quick to recognize the value and act. In some case the buyer offer to have it appraised before purchase. In any case, domain names are a worthwhile investment. To be sure, if there’s a market and a need, there’s an eventual offer.
