Sedo ccTLD Sales For The Week Of 7/19/2010

Last week there were two great sales in the .de space with kinderspiele.de and sm.de leading the pack at 16,00 EUR and 15,00 EUR respectively. In third place a .fr name – EuroPoker.fr sold for 12,00 EUR. Still far from the top .COM sales values ccTLD sales have been strong in 2010 and not just across the big TLDs like .de and .co.uk.

HolidayLettings.in sold for over 10,000 GBP and iRobot.es sold for $5,000 USD. Also remember this list below is just from Sedo – think of all the other sales in private and on other platforms that took-place last week!

Cool Tools – How Google Export Can Help ccTLD Investors

Google has a LOT of tools – this we know, so many that in fact you’ve likely never heard of the Google Export Tool. The tool was released last year but still remains in beta – it’s release was never celebrated so to most of us – it never existed! So what is the Google Export Tool? It’s a tool designed to help businesses identify market opportunities in other countries – and of course an excellent tool for ccTLD investors!

As you can see – all you have to do is specify a Country and Language and then enter your keywords, then select what region you are targeting. By combining the features of several Google tools together, Google is able to provide you with some very useful information and information that ccTLD investors can definitely benefit from.

The next screen shows you some very cool information – it tell you where in the world your keywords have the best potential or opportunity. For the term “kayaking” it is telling me that there is a lot of potential in Brazil. If you want to view this data as a table you can, an example is shown below:

The “Opportunity Score” is most likely something you haven’t seen from Google before. The higher the number the great the opportunity Google thinks you have for those particular keywords in a given market. Couple this with a list of available domain names and you might be able to give yourself the extra data you need to find that winning name!

The Google Adword Keyword Tool is one of the most-used tools in the Domaining industry but Google Export, although not widely known, is an excellent tool for ccTLD investors to find some excellent market opportunities.

Sedo ccTLD Sales for the Week of 6/7/2010

Looking at the top five sales in the last week three are .de, one is .co.uk and one is… a .se domain? Yes – that’s right, beat.se made it into the #3 position this week selling for a whopping $20,000 USD. This just goes to show how much potential the ccTLD market has – almost unknown TLDs sell all the time and beat.se is another great example!

If you study the .de sales you’ll notice that two of the top three are German words and one is an LLL. Now I’m not making the point that you should only be buying German words in .de, I do think it’s important to see what’s selling and use this to guide your buying decisions. Pay close attention to these lists – many people think there is no liquidity in the .se or .be market but if you look at the sales below you can see – the market is there and more sales are happening every day!

Sedo ccTLD Sales for the Week of 5/31

.de took the top spot last week with the sale of Venezuela.de for 23,800 EUR – pretty interesting to see a Latin American country name sell in the .de extension. It will be even more interesting to see what plans the buyers have for the site.

Taking the second-place spot is a .io name – doc.io which I think could be a great brandable and should also be an interesting one to watch. 888.mx took third-place at $10,000 which was probably the most surprising sale to me. I’m not sure what the plan is for 888.mx but I’ll definitely be watching as I don’t see this as a great re-sale investment.

My First .ASIA Domain!

I purchased my first .ASIA domain today www.ShippingContainers.asia and this was a hand registration for $20.
To be honest I was very surprised that it was still available as pretty much every other TLD of that name has been registered.

Now I know that .ASIA is a TLD (Top Level Domain eg. Com .Org .Net) and not a ccTLD ( Country Code Top Level Domain)  but I thought it deserves a mention as I believe as well as Morgan, that it has great potential over the coming years.

So I have just started adding the .ASIA TLD to my portfolio when good ones come along.

If you want to watch a great interview that Morgan did with Edmon Chung, (CEO of .ASIA) a few months back then follow this link

.Com.au Domain Kicks Some Goals

Yesterday I helped Steve Wells a friend and client of mine to pick up a .com.au domain from the drops. The domain we were going after was www.Goals.com.au which is great name for Steve as part of his business is working in the Peak Performance area with companies and athletes.

Here is a brief bio of Steve -

Steve Wells is an internationally recognised psychologist, professional speaker, and peak performance consultant who regularly teaches and consults worldwide with elite athletes and business achievers to improve their performance and enhance the performance of their teams.

Steve is Managing Director of an international training and development company Steve Wells and Associates Pty Ltd that has been in operation since 1996, and conducts regular programs throughout Australia, Europe, USA, UK, Canada, and Singapore. He is also a founding partner of ExecEdge an organisation providing high-level consultancy and corporate development programs for business leaders.

As far as one word generic domains go I think it is a winner and once it is developed over time it will be great for Steve’s business.

This was a great experience for Steve as it was the first time he had participated in a drop auction for domains and he certainly felt the adrenalin rush as the bidding on the name heated up and was getting close to his maximum price he was prepared to pay.  The domain ended up going for AUS$2999 which was a great buy in my opinion.

The domain had been registered for the past 8 years but nothing was ever done with it as far as I can tell from using the Wayback Machine

So always be on the lookout in the domain drop catches as you never know when the next great domain is coming down the expired pipeline.

The .Com.au ccTLD Domain Aftermarket is Alive and Well!

The Australian .Com.au domain aftermarket has not been around for very long, less than 2 years now in fact. But since then there have been three major players in the drop catching game that have proven very popular.

They are www.Drop.com.au (formally domain8.com.au) which is part of the Fabulous group of companies, www.Netfleet.com.au who is associated with the domain registrar www.Netregistry.com.au who’s service is called Domain Snapper Auctions and last but not least is www.DomainWatch.com.au who have been around the longest in the expired domain game in Oz.

I use all of them as you just don’t know will catch the name so it pays to have your bids across all services otherwise you can miss out like I did once, you live and learn!

Some examples of the names that have dropped over the past few months or so are –

CarParts.com.au $18,011
Printing.com.au $9,221
MotorHomes.com.au $5,556
CurrencyTrading.com.au $5,205
LiveMusic.com.au $4,501
FinancialAdvisor.com.au $3,889
AudioBooks.com.au $3,501
MotorSport.com.au $2,531
WindTurbines.com.au $2,001
CorporateCatering.com.au $1,701
ElectricBike.com.au $1,556
StrataManagement.com.au $1,346
Bowral.com.au $1,201
Max.com.au $1,201
ToolBox.com.au $1,089

(Courtesy of Drop.com.au)

The names above are from just one of the services and of course there have been hundreds more of lower prices that have dropped that don’t make the top lists.

I was fortunate enough to catch www.AudioBooks.com.au which had been registered since 1999 and was dropped and seeing as I am a self confessed Audio Book junkie it was a perfect fit for my portfolio.

As with any drop service you have to keep a close eye out on the lists every day as I have missed a few gems by missing a day or two.

The .Com.au ccTLD is the preferred domain extension in Australia and I can vouch for the fact that it is easier to get them to rank well in the search engines in Australia using the local ccTLD. I have move over many of my websites that are Australian centric from a .com to .com.au and have had much improved rankings from doing that and nothing else.

You only have to pick up a copy of the Yellow Pages here in Australia (not sure who does that anymore anyway) to see that the majority of businesses that advertise use the .Com.au ccTLD and not the .Com. It’s just what locals expect!

For more information on the rules and regulations of who can register a .Com.au ccTLD head over to The Australian Domain Name Administrator website .auDA
www.auda.org.au and you read the auDA Policy.

I think the .Com.au domain space has a very bright future and it will be fascinating to see how the domain aftermarket has evolved over the next few years.
