Not alot of .com’s in today’s list but golfdestinations.com makes it all worthwhile, good name, I love a good .com like this, I see golfdestinations.xyz is still available? I didn’t get any .xyz, besides my opinion that I am not crazy about it and I am not feeling it, which is mostly irrelevant as I am a domain investor not an end user, all that really matters is that end users like it right, but I like to feel it if I am going to invest in it and pitch it and at the moment I am not feeling .xyz that much, nothing against it this is just how I feel.
I like Daniel and I love his pitch and passion, I believe he is truly feeling it and I hope we all achieve success in our endeavours, including .xyz, and I am an old genxer and Daniel is a new genyer so maybe he does know better what the future wants and likes, I will have to ask my 25 year old daughter with the green hair and tattoos what she thinks about it.
But in the meantime I need some kind of criteria with these new G’s or I just get overwhelmed, and my criteria is all based on the left.right combination, that is obviously not my criteria with .com and I know some compare .xyz to .com, but I am not ready to make that comparison yet which is why I am not getting golfdestinations.xyz for $12 but I am willing to spend quite a bit more than that for golfdestinations.com, I would probably even spend more on golf.destinations than the .xyz with all due respect.
So at this point in my new G investing I am still looking for 2 words that go together, like clothing.boutique, secrets.exposed, billing.solutions, etc, the first thing I check when I see a new G is wordtracker, I will put in the extension and see what comes up by most searches, so like tomorrow .properties comes into general availability, I make a list of all the top “word properties” and these are what I want, I also try and think of anything obvious that might not show up in the top searches like many geo.properties would be good but might not show up in the top 1000 or whatever.
I do not get 99.999% of these, they are hard to get these days and/or cost more than I want to risk, like foreclosure.properties, commercial.properties, rental.properties, I would love to get one of these or something equivalent but I probably won’t be because they will be reserved or somebody will be willing to invest more than I am at this point, but I do get a few I like here and there.
Anyway after finding the top search phrases my real favorite criteria is how many domains are actually registered using the term, my theory is if 100’s or 1000’s of people and companies have actually spent money on the term, not just searched for it but actually invested in the term, especially end users that are using it for their website, then others in the future will also seek out this term and be willing to invest in it, and if there are no TM issues and I want to get aggressive I can try and sell it to one of the 100’s or 1000’s that have already invested in the term, obviously this also means I don’t get any term in a new G that is not already reg’d in the .com, personally I don’t even think I ever even looked for a new G that was not already reg’d in the .com, site.builders, forex.training, fishing.tips, automotive.repair, etc.
I really like the names I get, I feel them, so I can pitch them with passion, I might not try and pitch billing.solutions to the folks that own billingsolutions dot com but I could sure come up with a good pitch for one of the 500 or so companies that are using ******billingsolutions.com, or one of the future companies that will inevitably look for a domain using the term, like the company that gets billingsolutions.xyz lol, I honestly believe they will benefit more from using the domain billing.solutions for the big money I want than they will using the billingsolutions.xyz for the $12 they will pay for it.
So the bottom line for me with the new G’s I get is I like the product so I know I can really pitch the product, with passion, I believe in them, I am feeling them, I might not convince some of you that billing.solutions is the next best thing since billingsolutions dot com, or maybe even better than the .com if we take the next generation into account, if we think about the future, the long term, but I betcha I can convince somebody that this domain has much more value than what I have invested in it, and I really believe it does, it might take me 10 years but I am sure I can sell it for alot more than I paid, and I already have a huge list of leads that might also like it because they have already invested in the term and I am pretty sure others will look for domains using this term in the future, they are potential buyers too.
I do not feel the same about billingsolutions.xyz so I didn’t get it, I would have to really put on the salesmen face to sell this one and I can’t find anybody that has registered or searched anything that has billing solutions and xyz together, so at this point it doesn’t fit my criteria, and I like my criteria, I can pitch my criteria, but Daniel is so passionate about it I am sure when he pitches .xyz to me in person at the next conference I will grab a few dozen and start handing out .xyz flyers with Morgan lol.
Incidentally, the most unsolicited offers I have got on my new G’s are 2 that do not fit my criteria but I got anyway, those are cannabis.today and drone.zone, so I am not claiming to have any secret insights or knowledge, I just know what I like and feel and think I can pitch with passion, like Daniel does.
On another note, that pic is Orel Hershiser, pitcher with the Dodgers and the Indians, MVP, he is my distant cousin (the worst part about that is when he was famous everybody at the car lot I worked at started calling me Anal Hershiser, Orel and Anal get it, I hated it), anyway when I was a kid they said get a real job, there is no money in sports, now he is doing underwear commercials for about $6 million besides the money he made in sports and I had real jobs for 30 years and they basically sucked, the moral of this story is don’t listen to your parents, they are so last generation, maybe Daniel is onto something lol…

Domain of the day: Billing.solutions – Make me an Offer!
Thanks for reading…
greenhairand.tattoo
LOL, I can’t make this shit up, here is a pic from the show the other day and my daughter has green hair and tattoos, it’s also me and the rest of my family with Michael Cyger and George Hong from Guta.com:
Green Hair and Tattoos
“I will have to ask my 25 year old daughter with the green hair and tattoos what she thinks about it.”
That’s a good idea Mark, and make a survey among her friends ๐
As far as I know, I don’t see so much enthusiasm from new gens about .xyz, I don’t see them thinking it’s something really cool, something they really need to get.
I can’t find many comments on most viewed Youtube videos about it, maybe you should get a feedback from the main socials.
As I said before, I think it’s just a joke and it will be a failure … 185k + $ flushed in the toilet … ๐
My Domain of the Day:
DiscountHolidayPackages.com (Discount Holiday Packages)
Make me your best offer!
Off the subject of domainzz.
Looks like a very nice family and a great picture of everyone.
Mark, you look like you own IBM in that picture.
Glad you all had fun and you had a great time with your parents.
I thought I looked more like John Waters after he did something weird…
I was just appraising your golfdestinations.com, looks good.
Hey, i was expecting to see Nikki six and then i see a wealthy business man in a suit with his happy family…WTF…LOL
Yes, I love my family so much, I could not do all I do without them, I am very lucky…
whose hair is on the wall- looks like one of those expensive restaurants that scalp tourists!
It’s mine, that is where all my hair went lol…
if it is true that Daniel gave away .xyz domains for free with NetSol then i have to take him to my other list of liars and cheaters from that of the passionate entrepreneurs list.
man he ruined this thing.this is born totally dead !
Start moving him your other list…
IMHO he’s artificially inflating the xyz thing with marketing money.
It’s like stock manipulation … nothing new under the sun.
As someone already pointed out, if this was a SEC regulated matter, all this show would have already been halted.
And did you see this?: http://www.ripoffreport.com/r/Beverly-Hills-Mint-Berta-Negari-Daniel-Negari/Beverly-Hills-California-90211/Beverly-Hills-Mint-Berta-Negari-Daniel-Negari-BERTA-NEGARI-AND-DANIEL-NEGARI-BEVERLY-HI-446350
But at the end … all the chickens come home to roost … ๐
Mark, you’re right on .xyz as it’s almost impossible to have a right combination with a .xyz suffix. But, registrants seems to like it as it quickly gained top 5 G’s position. Hope it goes further but sure there is no comparison with .com
.XYZ is a scam. It has given out thousands of free domains.
Plz review my post at:
http://meetdomains.com/ngtlds/number-of-domains-or-number-of-websites
does it really matter? at the end there is just the question if people like it or not.
I am not a fan of the new gTLDยดs but one of my favorites if any was the XYZ.
I agree 100% with your thoughts on the left.right combination and that is what I too have concentrated on. For example, site.builders should have a value regardless of how many building companies register .builders. It stands to reason that the gTLDs with the most registrations will be the most generic extensions, but there will be a lot of good combinations in some of the lesser or niche ones that might be considered failures by registration numbers alone. For this reason I also passed on xyz.
Words of wisdom imo…
Thanks for sharing your criteria publicly, Mark. After you get the list of the top 1000 “xxx billing solution” word combination in WordTracker, how do you compile a list of “xxx BillingSolution.com” that are in use? I suppose you can use Google search with parameter (site:billingsolution.com) but you still have to scrap pages of search result to find the number of relevant .com in use, and that is only for one word combination only. Any particular service you use to simply this process? Thanks.
Hi Kassey, I use NameDroppers.com to see how many domains are registered with the terms I am searching.
