Pool.com Skim for July 31st, 2010

The Pool list has some curious characters for Saturday July 31st to say the least.  Accesspal could be a great one. Oriental characters and Asian alphabet names stud the list. Youdrivelikeoldpeople.com is a good one. The name ad-klik.com could be a an affiliate revenue generator. Actinsane.com could be  video site. Addroadmap.com could be a mobile app. Allergyz.com could be a great medical info site. Allpctechs.com could be an employment site.

But the mass density of the names dump is foreign.  The characters won’t even transcribe in this blog application unless pasted in as images. Names like xonseo.com show that  massive Oriental names holding in being dumped at Pool.com. Many yoga names also on sale together today. 2rentcars.com is an example of the number dynamics present in the current list. 30up.net could be a thirtysomething dating site.

[Blankety-blank].net, anyone? Doesn’t have quite the same impact as  [Question-mark series.com], does it? 4X4books.net is a keeper. Many zero- and 4- names in the list. Zk5.net vends in the Pool for this date. Zodiacnights.com is a curiosity. Zoomfall.com is a question mark. 9nxt.com and 9owls.com show the numerical oddities in the list. Allherstuff.com could be a weird breakup warez site. Check the data list at Pool.com for more.

While there are probably some stinging good values in these short domains, without a visual character translator interface showing what the names mean (and their colloquial other meanings) the list’s appeal is limited. But a name like yodalogic.com doesn’t come up that often. The name 4redneck.com has a um, uh, limited demographic. Alertpilot.com is a goodpotential  site for aviators, but preferably enjoyed when they aren’t flying.

Many German and Swedish names and special character names are fueling the Pool list in this phase. ?.com, and ?.com is featured, as well as many French names and some Spanish ones. The domain planètecafé.com is an example. A huge series of names starting with XP- are featured in this auction list, e.g., XP-London.com. X is the letter of the day with xt-gaming.net being a strong puller. XX2010.com is another beginning with x-featured name.

Youcouldqualify.com is a possible site portal attractor. Four letter names like 1vfx.com also show on the Pool list. Numerical names also star. 420euro.com is a special. The name 2-hotels.net features as well. 1to1chinese.com is another domain with strong potential. The 20dollarbenefits.com name has some strong potential. 20minuterecipe.com has a culinary flair.

20percentmonthlycom could be a financial breadwinner. The domain advektor.com could be an affiliate directory.

Is FreshDrop a joke?

I was at the FreshDrop website but when I looked at the domain sales at Ebay, it was just funny to see domains like google.com for sale at $1,500, Game.com for sale at $10, car.com for sale at $1 etc…

When I clicked to buy “Toy.com” for $10, hoping to see an IDN , I found out that it was only “TarotCardGame.com ” and not an IDN related to “toy.com”.

What is happening with FreshDrop ? Are they making jokes or what? I think FreshDrop needs to address this.

Country Code Apps Niche Opportunity

Ask not what your country code TLD domain name can do for you, but ask rather what you can do to enhance the value of country code domain property. Setting up global real estate under a foreign country domain name TLD takes pizzazz and killer apps. But who will provide the next universal domaining tools for the huge market of domainers who have lots of ccTLD  real estate in their portfolio but no way to launch it?

Sports Name Fiesta in 2010

Look for sports TLD domination this year, says an insider. Sports domains in 2010 will become more valuable as with all quality, generic domains.  With more and more people/companies  understanding the need for a converging quality domain, the solidifying effort to increase their brand and online presence becomes more efficient. Sports fulfills the need for fresh dynamic content and a solid audience searching daily for new results.

If there are sports domains that include year numerals in the domain name, those domains have a shorter ‘shelf life’ of value.  But promotion can make the years matter.  Witness the success of all the Nostradamus 2010 domain search result traffic. Hybrids of key niches, like gaming and sports, take place with a site like www.Gamingwizz.com.

This insider goes on to say “Obviously, the shorter, commerce related, and easiest to remember/type are the top names to go after.  The best thing with sports is the amount of fans around the world with so many different sports and teams.  All in all, there is pretty good potential in 2010 for sports niche domains.”

Translation Pages Hot

The big news in domain development these days is converting active native language pages to another language for a given country code or demographic. Witness a certain expert domainer branching out into translation services for exiting websites to coordinate dual language site releases.  This new service offered by WhiteBark Innovations for website translations can serve up those country code websites domainers are now looking to build.

ICANN Wrestles Character Alphabets

ICANN is developing Web addresses that can be written in other languages. Suffix, such as the “com” after the dot, must be typed in Roman letters. The suffix known as a TLD on the Internet  expressed in 17 other alphabets. ICANN directors and advisors meet in Seoul this week to wrestle technical issues.
