Domains value is not only in the name itself but things like links and trusts. An EMD that’s never been used on a website is useless, however some dhjfareiwodsfahie.com with thousands of trusted links are priceless. Just my 2cents.

Your so clueless about domains I don’t even know where to begin.

It sounds like you are just frustrated by some bad purchases.

Buying domains and making a profit is a skill. It is not something you can just start doing and necessarily make money immediately. It takes a lot of mistkaes before you recognize the valueable domains from the bad ones. And there are many domains that look great, but really are bad…..I call those fools gold domains.

Anyhow, you are totally wrong sir.

The community at Bido selects what goes to auction via our “Vote For Profits” program. It’s how we filter inventory, we crowdsource it. The community votes on the domains that are submitted in relation to the domain’s BidoPrice. If the domain sells, the people who voted for it earn a percentage of the sale price. This selection process ensures the domains that make it to auction are “In-Demand”.

Great post!
It’s really hard to read though. Would be great if you could change the font color to white.

Cheers!

you’re right that you can buy an $8 domain and get it to a similar ranking then the exact match, but head to head won’t the exact match domains convert better ?

$8 domain + work/time/money = page 1 or
$5,000 domain + less time/work/mone = page 1 + consumer trust and confidence

different paths for different people

just my 2cents. I’m no black hatter tho

This definately goes on in droves. There are still opportunities in land rush releases of new tlds and Ive made a bit that way, but 95% of the time buying domains is air buying. Standard.
