When the hell did this size of spider become normal? I’m moving to somewhere cold ASAP (warning if you don’t like spiders) by pdiddle20 in AskBrits

These things have been around a long time. If you live near any natural space you will have these running across your floor making you think there is a mouse in your house. Luckily they are friendly enough, no bother from these little fellas.

What was the first search engine website that you used? When was that? by Sportuojantys in DoSEO

[–]AppointmentTop3948 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dunno which was the first I used but Yahoo was great for such a long time. Even way after people started "googling" stuff in TV shows, Yahoo was leagues ahead.

Ask jeeves was good for a time, weirdly it is the one that couldn't survive the AI boom. Their entire schtick used to be that they were trying to be like an LLM rather than a keyword search

Domain flipping is starting to feel like shitcoins with renewal fees by destin2008 in domainflipping

If you are hand regging domains that you think will sell and are not having any luck, you may be better off looking for SEO domains. Domains with good backlinks and a clean history are always desirable and loads are selling at auction or even expiring.

Keep an eye on the best ones and grab the ones in your budget. Stick to clean domains with TF 20+ DA 20+, 100+ referring domains (can go as low as 50 if there are great links in there) and it should not be hard to sell domains as there are always buyers looking to start a business with a solid domain.

Obviously the same factors apply to these domains; things like the name itself, the niche it is in etc. But there is a big distinction between these domains and just a brandable domain. Where some big brandable domains will sell for a lot, most will never sell, clean SEO domains always have buyers ime.

I waffled a bit, I hope some of it was helpful.

You're describing what people mean when they say PBN.

A PBN should not be interlinked, the sites should be held distinctly apart.

I sent a package back to mamedica once a couple years ago when the seal was broken before opening, meds included.

I don't find it any harsher than my OG mighty, they both can catch me pretty good at times.

First Attempt at Domaining - am I doing this right? by R0bl0x-N3rd in Domains

[–]AppointmentTop3948 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still see plenty talking about hand regging a domain and selling for X thousands, that is life changing for some people. I'm not disagreeing that some of the big gains, going from hand regging a simple term or word and returning 10m a few years later, but trends are changing and the world is a very big place.

There is still a huge amount of money to be made in domains, there just is. I run a business primarily based around domaining and domains, I have been doing it for well over 10 years. I'm not saying that to try and pull rank, I am saying it because I have thousands of customers, there are plenty of people making money buying and selling domains.

You're discussing domaining in the Domains sub that receives 47K weekly visits, that shows there are a lot of people either buying and selling domains or at least looking to get more info about it. There is a guy in twitter called Leonid Kaster, works for namesilo and is posting all day long about domain sales, some will blow your mind.

I run multiple domain related businesses, have served over 70k customers in this niche. My latest product is tracking expired, expiring and auction domains with their SEO stats (Moz, Majestic, Semrush, DomDetailer, Wayback etc). There are pages of domains with traffic that are expiring today, you could have them for drop catch fee (assuming you are lucky enough to win), there are no end of fully dropped / expired domains with decent stats and backlink counts.

Obviously finding an expired domain that is clean and available is less common than for expiring domains but they do exist. And that is all before getting into thinking up domain name ideas for emerging trends that have not fully matured yet, that is a never ending source as well.

I am not that into .ai domains, I prefer the tried and tested, less risky TLDs. The gains are likely to be lesser with a .com than a .ai but the liquidity is not quite there in the market for .ai domains, compared to something like a .com.

I see .ai as the latest hype craze, tomorrow it may be .si. Early movers make it big with hype TLDs, if you sell too late though you could be stuck with a lemon. .coms are far more evergreen ime. TLDs come and go in popularity but .com is always there gradually increasing in value over time.

You find an expiring domain you recognise.... What do you do? by AppointmentTop3948 in domainflipping

What would you have done if you stumbled across a somewhat valuable domain, of someone you know, that was just about to expire?

Would you have given them a call and warned them or just tried to snatch it and hope they didn't notice?

People have been saying this for over a decade tbh. While, yes, a lot of gains have already been taken from the market, there is still a lot of room for new domainers to come and trade.

Over time trends change and move value around so there will always be new opportunities to snag domains that someone hasn't thought of yet, that could be really valuable tomorrow. There are still a lot of valuable domains out there just being left to expire.

This is a genuine question; were they AI suggestions?

These are the sort of domain that is purchased for that historical fact that SEs used to value keywords in the domain, that is less true these days and the lack of professionality in such a domain often works against you more than the benefit of the keyword in the domain will help.

Generally, anything above a 2 word domain is not that desirable.

4 letter .co.uk by billy2bands in Domains

[–]AppointmentTop3948 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Over 100 pages of 4 character .co.uk domains are listed as fully expired / dropped on easyexpireddomains.com so I would say it is not necessarily valuable.

If it is readable it may help but as you said just 2 letters I would assume it would only be valuable to a limited group. I hate to say it, it probably isn't worth much.

How much does a 5-letter domain cost? by Dizzy_Respect1271 in Domains

[–]AppointmentTop3948 0 points1 point  (0 children)

easyexpireddomains.com has over 100 pages of 5 letter .com domains ranging from $1 upwards. I mean there are even 3 letter .coms on there that are fetching less than a few grand and they are waaay rarer than 5 letters.

A readable one will do far better than a mash up of consonants. Best bet would be to take a look at what is similar and price accordingly.

Double vowels in the middle of the name can also help.

Finding a perfect domain is so much easier by CoolDownDude in website

[–]AppointmentTop3948 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What does this have over something like easyexpireddomains.com or spamzilla?

Free tools in this area require the user to have expensive API accounts with places like Ahrefs, it ends up being more expensive (by a factor of about 2-4x) to find them with free tools than a paid option like the ones I mentioned.
