Of the six billion people on our planet, only a few dozen had the foresight in the mid 1990′s to start acquiring domain names with the idea that they could become valuable in the future. Those very rare individuals were almost universally regarded as fools who were flushing perfectly good money down the drain. Fast forward barely a decade ahead and yesterday’s fools have become today’s visionaries.

“Visionary” is a word that gets thrown around pretty casually in this business today and it is often applied to folks who, by their own admission, just happened to be lucky – in the right place at the right time. But there are true visionaries in the space and none is more deserving of that apellation than Dan Pulcrano. He saw (and bet the ranch) on the future of domains. Today he owns a near priceless portfolio that includes 20 of the 30 largest American city names in the .com extension (many already developed), including LosAngeles.com, San Francisco.com and Philadelphia.com to name just a few.

Domain Names in Jan 2008

Tags:

With Domain Name Sellouts happening including 4LLLL.com’s no longer available to register and Sales like Advertise.com selling for $900,000 today at Afternic and iReport.com selling for $750,000 sold by Rick Shwartz on January 2008 we are in for a good start this year!

If you have had a look at the latest Domain Sales Report this year it all looks very promising.

Not to mention coming 3rd in the highlight was the domain MaturePorn.com which sold for $130,000. This was of course not as near as Porn.com which sold last year for $9.5 Million, but still a healthy make.

Another nice sale was PID.com which sold for $25,000 on SEDO and 9J.com for $23,456.

For the record Tees.com sold for $252,000 and Atty.com was sold for $48,900 a very good result for a 4 Letter domain, along with Clap.com for $29,000 and Racy.com for a nice $25,000.

4 Letter Domains

Tags: ,

4LLLL.com’s as of the 2nd of November 2007 have been all registered. The only way to buy a 4 letter domain name is in the aftermarket. Before the buyout there had been a huge panic in the market and all investors and domainers had bought heavily in this market.

In march 2006 there were 100 000 LLLL.com available for register from a total of 456,976 different combinations.

In June 2007, 30,000 were still available but since November 2, 2007 all LLLL.com were registered and the only way to get one is from the aftermarket, backorders and auctions.

When demand increases and supply decreases, prices therefore rise. Values of LLLL are now going up very quickly. You can see by the latest Sales Discussion Thread and Evaluation Thread

Like 3 letter.com that are selling for over $6000,00, domain name speculators and investors sees in it as gold mine, they buy or backorder them all for future investment.

Some companies like Classy Domains and 4 Letter Domains and 4LD are already selling for around $5000+ each.

Domain Bubble

Tags:

When internet began , domains were free and someone regged the most crappy ones instead of regging dictionary words.

Then someone smarter started to think about what could happen in the long time and started regging all dictionary.

Then we had a Buble burst in 2000 but internet was not a bubble and by 2003 the online business was growing even faster than before.

By that time Online advertising exploded and Google started to build its empire.

LLL.com ran out and domain names became expensive property with all 3LLL.com’s reaching a min of 6k and have reached all the way to 1 million more than many occasions including the sale of guy.com 2 months ago.

Now we simply are assisting to the continuing of the internet growth by which ever means including the buy and sell of 4 LLLL.com’s which are now the fastest growing piece of property on the internet and some sales have hit massive heights including porn.com in 2007 for $9.5 million dollars.

The Damn “Dan” Domain

Tags: , ,

Buying Domain Names can either be fun or be hurtful.

In my case I should be farely happy as I own around 100 domains, out of 100 domains around 40 4 letter domains I own aswell which are highly valuable.

One of my favourites would have to actually be a .net though out of all my 40 or so 4LLL.com’s. It is also an established website, let me introduce it to you GSEO.net stands for Google Search Engine Optimization.

But the one in which I recently tried to aquire was believe it or not from my own birth name Daniel Lew. Now when I went to register this domain guess what?

It was taken, Yes that’s right folks It wasn’t only just randomly registerd by someone for 1 year, It was registered for 10 flippen years, and the name is just sitting there?

Very Odd wouldn’t you agree? Becuase let me tell you there are not many daniel lew’s in this world let alone danny or dan lew let me be the first Dan Lew to have registered Danlew.com now that is got to hurt this guy back dont you think?

Or perhaps Danny Lew in which my old friends and family know me by, yep I quickly snapped that one up www.dannylew.com nobody is taking that baby away.

To be honest personally I like being called Dan or Daniel as it’s more humble and formal particularly when dealing with clients.

But let me get to the ever more interesting bit Daniel Lew is actually bought and owned from a Graphic Design Photography Company as you can see here:

Did this guy or company see myself around the Internet and think Hey? this guy is going to be a Success if he isn’t already from all his brilliant marketing techniques and yeah we better quickly buy this guys name as it appears it’s going to be a success a bit like BradPitt.com.

Or on the other hand I can see from his registrant details he is running a Creative Agency, So what does this mean that all Daniel Lew’s are the owner’s of Creative Agencies?

Because this is actually what I do for a living this and more I am the Director of my own successful Advertising Agency which deals in that and a whole lot more including SEO and Online Marketing. Whatever the story we will be sure to find out . Welcome to DanLew.com
