DoorHardware.com sold for high xx,xxx range

I haven’t posted blogs regarding domain sales for past few days. Today I noticed a good domain sale and the domain sold was DoorHardware.com.  The domain was sold at the Sedo domain marketplace. I thought it was definitely an end user sale due to the price range it was sold and the keyword quality. I also guessed there would not be a lot of searches per month (EXACT search volume). The domain, DoorHardware.com was sold for $85,000 and it was a very healthy domain sale for such a domain.

When I did the research on the keyword “door hardware“, I found out that there had been around 18,100 EXACT searches per month for the keyword with CPC (cost per click) about $1.5 per click.

A nice payday for the domain seller.

It is strange. I let “StudentTour.com” domain auction go not noticing StudentTours.com recently sold for x,xxx

It was a bit of strange. Just a few days ago, I was participating in the domain auctions (3 domains) and I was focussing on one domain, GreatThemes.com which I acquired.

At the same time, there was another domain auction “StudentTour.com” running and there was only low xxx when I switch my attention completely off the domain, “StudentTour.com”.

I didn’t realize that its plural domain, StudentTours.com was just sold at Sedo for $3,000. If I was aware of that domain sale, I might be interested to acquire “StudentTour.com“.

EU Probes Google

You  thought Google was angry about China dominating their domestic search engine market. European officials have greeted news of Google acquiring coupon monster site Groupon with a probe into antitrust practices. Supposedly consumer complaints have grounded this inquiry with question concerning Google SERP determination, business practices, and marketing dominance.

There is more than a veiled hint that Google’s probable strategies with respect to offering customers returns on their traffic and advertising depend heavily on Google’s own decisions and data handling. The same companies that determines which sites get the most site traffic and the most selective attributes of such traffic is also the company that benefits from such determinations.

The European Commission has stated that Google has stifled competition by rigging search results in a manner that favors their own end product and pecuniary outcome. This could be a big marketing shift for European and UK domainers with actively Google oriented sites. Google currently controls more than 75% of European online search market traffic. Comscore reports the Google United States market share is closer to 66%.

The websites Foundem (UK) and Bing’s Ciao and a French site, Ejustice, all complained to the European Commission’s appropriate authorities concerning perceived improprieties in how Google does business. Primary among these concerns is nonpaid Google SERP listings versus paid Google customer’s SERP positions. Related scoring of competing advertisers as website quality factors by Google is also at issue.

Industry analysts cited the 4% drop in Google stock not to the EU scrutiny of the Google search engine positioning practices but to the overpayment possibilities for the current rumored Groupon buyout. Groupon, a geologically data driven site with retailer coupons for dining and entertainment, is in play to join Google’s stable of company entities and advertising programs.

The growing size of Google may be a concern, note a recent Los Angeles Times article (complete with dominant Google ad on load). “Size matters” it states. Could the combined powers of Europe stop the spread of Google power, when the Rising Sun nation of China could not?

Google Wants Your TV Names

There is a burgeoning hybrid opportunity for Google and TV domain names. The possibilities for names that Google can use, or that customers of home televisions with Google search capacity can see, opens up a new range for end users for websites, portals, and TV calendar listings. Names with “TV”,3D, set, “watch”, screen, home, channel, and other tech keywords are in demand.

Video plays a new role in ever more congruent SEO to domain name partnerships and value building online. Sites with “best of’ lists and video links will be fun home entertainment, family fun instead of programmed network shows stuffed with commercials. Websites composed of programmed TV viewing that families or niche watchers want can win the SEO wars. Nostalgia TV and cable viewing from video uploads and film segments has already made Hulu.com and Guba.com popular sites.

How does this change the business model for site development? Movie content makes search engine optimization the new driving force for website development. Articles and links to other TV based sites can also bring up the searchability quotient for these names and the sites behind them. Fansites becomes destination viewing with the new Google home TV site model. Your email list can start the home viewing wave and help get the word out.

This gives the SEO campaign for any TV name new legs. Given that entertainment is already a huge market for domainers and name auctions, and even deleting names and drop list auctions, domain developers should have at least one television name in the launch works with Google home-TV potential. Do fans want to blog or chat the shows while they watch? You bet they do. This is social TV networking.

Site managers and webmasters can formulate affiliate strategy to reach the home consumer. As home television and computer driven apps converge, a website with video and Google SEO matrices plugged in, wins. Because home viewers can surf your YouTube channel and maybe move on to your site if the spirit moves them. The webmaster without YouTube sinks in the SERP.

Chrome TV-searched visits to your site could be the elusive end user your sites has been waiting for. Google-owned YouTube connected sites will have a little more depth in the Google SEO than random video sites. All those domainers holding TV names and HDTV names and 3D names, as well as the Dot-TV extension of any relevant television or big screen tech name, there is a new focus for your end users and resale customer buyers.

Insurance .info domain sale; insurancequote.info domain sold in low xx,xxx

After I have read an interesting news about the acquisition of Insurance.com website for around $35 million US dollars by a business firm, I don’t find it surprising to see the domain sale of InsuranceQuote.info for low xx,xxx range. The domain  was sold through Sedo domain market place and the sale was mentioned at Dnjournal.com domain sale column this week.

It was interesting news because I recently acquired InsuranceComparison.com (development in the process). Both “insurance quote” and “insurance comparison” got high CPC (cost per click) over $15 per click. “Insurance comparsion” was searched around half of the search volume of “insurance quote” keyword. But after analysing the keywords, I think “insurance comparison” is better than “insurance quote (because of being singular and not plural keyword)” and this insurance .info domain sale even makes me harder to part with my domain.

Impressive .at domain sale; tracker.at sold over $20,000

It was interesting to see the domain sale of Tracker.at for over $20,000 recent. The domain, Tracker.at was exactly sold for 18,000 Euros and it is equivalent to $23,235. It was an impressive sale for a .at (Austria) domain. I could recall Job.at was sold in xxx,xxx range a few months ago.

Consolidation.at
Diagnosis.at

Impotence.at
Medication.at

Have acquired InsuranceComparison.com

I acquired the domain, InsuranceComparison.com recently and it took me nearly one month to close this deal. I have sold a few insurance domains and I like that niche.

I am planning to develop this domain, InsuranceComparison.com into a business website but it would need extensive project to do such a website, I believe. Do you recommend/know any business website developer who could create an insurance comparison website?

I am thinking of using subdomains such as

Car.InsuranceComparison.com, Health.InsuranceComparison.com, Pet.InsuranceComparison.com
Home.InsuranceComparison.com
Travel.InsuranceComparison.com
Life.InsuranceComparison.com

etc…

What do you think of such subdomain creation? Would you suggest creating directories instead of subdomains?
