Will '3D' Revive The Domain Industry - 3D Domain Names (?)

hey stuart

NEVER 'TEST' anything out on your MONEY asset.
You should have been 'practicing' with a lesser name.

i'll contact you.

 

Just put up a basic site, if anyone wants to link exchange let me know

www.3dlaptops.info

 

Having 3 offers for 3D Domain Names in 3 weeks is great news for all of us. I will keep you posted if a sale goes through.
1) Websites3d.com
2) 3DUnitedKingdom.com
3) Spain3d.com
Things are looking 3D Bright!! 3D Domain Names are great for type in traffic. Large corporations may buy these names as it can be cheaper than paying up to $32.00 a click over many years time. Once again, check out 3DComputerSoftware.com 325 Visitors from 29 countries. That would cost a lot per click, or other forms of advertising to get that many direct visitors. I also own 3DLicensePlate.com which is number one on Google if you type in 3D License Plate. Get a good name that makes sense that people would type in and BINGO Page One of Search Engines!!! Priceless...

 

3d names dont sell well. Google "3d sucks" sometimes

 

wow, real intelligent comment, lol... you're obviously some young nerdy teenager who needs to get out and get a girlfriend, you obviously have nothing better to do

 

You still havent sold your domains?lol

 

btw,check ebay completed items for "3d domain name". 3dclips.org sold for a whopping 99 cents.

 

only certain 3D domains that are actually related to 3D technology will see good sale figures but other 3D domain like 3D this 3D that will not be more than reg fees and btw what do you mean by GEO 3D domains. IMO they are not even worth reg fees.

 

I have sold some actually and I also get offers every week, but why would anyone sell their "good" 3D domains now, the technology is only just developing daaah

I wouldn't pay 5 cents for a .org 3D name!

 

lol.No one registered 3dgamesystems.com I guess Ill take it.

 

Hey all...

... i know we've had the discussion before about "3-D" names (as opposed to just "3D")
... and regardless of your previous opinions,
... if there WERE any "3-D" names you could have - or want - what would they be?

... so i guess i'm asking you to list your top "3-DASH-D" names

thanks

 

A few I would take

3-D.com
3-D.net
3-DTV.com
3-DGames.com
3-DMovies.com

 

to me..
.. it 'seems' the "3-D" is more accurate and in tune with stereoscopic 3d more so than the 3d cad we're all used to seeing and calling '3d' - know what i mean?

.. for example.. the popularity in the 3d travel, 3d real estate and 3d map domains and websites are based more on 3d modeling then they are s3d.
no glasses needed for those web sites.

but if those websights actually incorporated stereoscopic 3d into the navigation and create an experience, then"3-D" is probably more the <i>proper</i> term.

i also uncovered these handful of facts today.. pretty interesting to say the least:

with quotes, go to google and type in the following strings and tell me what your content is

"3-d Sports" - content on google (with Quotes) - 908,000
"3d Sports" - content on google (with Quotes) - 151,000

- - - - - - - - -

same test, different string:

"3-d Advertising" - content on google (with Quotes) - 198,000
"3d Advertising" - content on google (with Quotes) - 73,800

- - - - - - - - -

same test, different string:

"3-d Laptop" - content on google (with Quotes) - 508,000
"3d Laptop" - content on google (with Quotes) - 276,000

- - - - - - - - -

same test, different string:

"3-d Phone" - content on google (with Quotes) - 135,000
"3d Phone" - content on google (with Quotes) - 58,000

- - - - - - - - -

same test, different string:

"3-d Camera" - content on google (with Quotes) - 1,300,000
"3d Camera" - content on google (with Quotes) - 524,000

- - - - - - - - -

same test, different string:

"3-d Cam" - content on google (with Quotes) - 581,000
"3d Cam" - content on google (with Quotes) - 194,000

- - - - - - - - -

there are more examples like this, but these are just a few i thought i'd point out.

i know we don't exactly chase content, exactly - we chase searches - and in virtually every instance, i would imagine that the search volume for a clean '3d' will beat the tar out of '3-dash-d'... i also know that other strings do not fully back this theory (like 3d movies vs 3-d movies or 3-d tv vs 3dtv..etc...) but these stats should still not be ignored!

and no - I'm NOT saying '3-d' names are better... not for a second - not a chance in the world would i ever suggest that.
.. i am, however, trying to point out that '3-D' could still prove to be a pretty solid alternative for any potential end user who does not want to spend what it will cost to obtain a top 3d domain.

what do you think the difference in cost would be between '3dGames' and '3-dGames' to a potential buyer in say, two years time when we are at a heightened state of 3d content all around?

let's assume or guesstimate that these upper level 3d domain names start selling in the high five to mid six figure range (?), these '3-dash-d' names might look like a very attractive alternative at high $x,xxx to low $xx,xxx with really, the proper dictionary usage of the term '3-d'

..with that said, i think the only way to pull these '3-dash-d' names off properly is to
(a) - have something of a category killer in with that dash (like 3-d Movies or 3-d Sports)
or
(b) - it can ONLY have one additional word following the '3-d' - i don't think '3-dash-d' is suited for three and four word domains, imo
(c) - the site plan should be geared towards stereoscopic 3d

and that's my finding's...
your thoughts everybody?

 

Result numbers are not really that accurate, take for example your search query "3-D Sports", at first Google says there are around 900k results, but as you dig further into the results that number changes... (EG: Page 43 of about 2,150,000 results (0.23 seconds). Try and go further and you'll hit a brick wall... (Page 44 of 436 results (0.23 seconds).

The reason Google seem to show more results for a "3-D" search as opposed to a "3D" search, is because of the way they handle dashes.
They obviously treat it as a dash, but they can also treat it as a space, non space, dot etc, so you'll get results for "3-D", "3 D", "3.D", "3D" and even "3) D" (Check the highlighted terms in the results).

Cheers
James

 

The thing is Google doesnt see the "-" so when you type these things in, the only true reflection is to start manually going through the pages, you will start seeing the "3-D" results, that after arounf page 4, 5, 6 etc, the 3-D starts getting less and less and 3D and 3 D starts appearing

If you are going to build a site, for SEO purpose, I dont think it makes a big difference. I think selling the names is where it will make a big difference

You are spot-on, having the best names in that format is the key

Good luck mate

 

the redesign has really helped... another conversion on 3dDvdRentals.com

the better news is that since September, i have averaged over $45 a month in revenue from 3d domain names in JUST affiliates or parking (mostly affiliates)....
... that works out to about $1.50 a day in revenue.

now, granted, that may not be a lot of money in any context, but consider that those three months of 'minding my own business' helps me to renew about seventeen of my names... if i am able to just simply 'maintain' these small number's over the course of the year, that pays for SEVENTY names a year!!!

Think About That!! That covers up for a lot of mistakes haha

and there is still barely any content to speak of
i have a new affiliate site on the way... getting approved for this site and the corporate channels i have to go through are INSANE!!!!
i will unveil once final approved.

but... very promising indeed.

 

some news for all us 3d adult believers lol
thought i would share

3D Innovator Dominic Ford Launches Dominic Ford Productions
3D production services will be available to all adult entertainment companies
NEW YORK—Dominic Ford has announced the launch of its new company, Dominic Ford Productions, which will provide full-service 3D production to other adult companies.

DominicFord.com was the first all-male adult company to release movies in 3D, the first to release movies (both 2D and 3D) in full HD (1920x1080) format, and the first to have iPad and Google TV sites.

The company also released the ground-breaking hit Whorrey Potter and the Sorcerer's Balls, which won the Best Comedy Award at this year’s Grabby and GayVN Awards. The movie was the first gay adult film to be filmed almost entirely on green screen (and in 3D).

Dominic Ford launched Dominic Ford Productions because it knows other producers are interested in making 3D production but don't have the in-house expertise or equipment to do so successfully. 3D production requires extensive knowledge of 3D filming and editing, expertise in stereography, and a lot of expensive equipment. As Dominic Ford Productions already has this knowledge, the company is lowering the barrier to entry for other companies by offering its production services and extensive equipment.

"3D has become mainstream,” said Ford. “While we are excited to have been the first 3D company in the all-male adult space, we know that other companies (gay and straight) are actively thinking about joining us in creating 3D adult footage. There is a high barrier to entry, however, for these companies. Even though some (mostly amateur) 3D cameras are becoming available, creating (and editing) 3D content isn't as simple as point and shoot. In the same way that buying an expensive paintbrush doesn't make you Picasso, buying a 3D camera doesn't make you an experienced stereographer or 3D editor. 3D is really easy to do badly, and in a way that will set the industry back. It is my hope that by providing our expertise and pro-grade equipment we can help other companies create compelling 3D content that will help mature the 3D adult content market."

In addition to groundbreaking production work for the Dominic Ford brand to date, Dominic Ford Productions has also produced content for this year's International Mr. Leather contest. The company is in talks with straight, gay and lesbian production companies, including Juicy Pink Box (a lesbian XXX film company). Most recently, Dominic Ford Productions provided 3D services to the world’s largest premier gay porn brand and adult company, Bel Ami, in Ibiza, Spain, for a soon-to-be-released project that features some of Bel Ami's most famous models in 3D, courtesy of Dominic Ford Productions.

Along with the new company comes a host of new equipment. Dominic Ford Productions has invested in a main movie 3D rig that equals those used on many Hollywood movies, as well as 3D still photo rigs. With these rigs, the company can achieve new video effects that are impossible to do with amateur camera rigs (including the new 3D cameras that are commercially available).

“We are passionate about 3D production and have no interest in being the only players in the game,” said Ford. “We love the idea of bringing other brands’ content to life with high-quality, eye-popping 3D production. Our new main camera rig has been used in mainstream movies, and we are excited to produce content for our clients (as well as our own brand) using this new state-of-the-art rig.”

 

Thanks for the above news. I think 3D EVERYTHING is going mainstream. People are really registering just about any word and putting 3D in front of them (some may have been mine as I had to let them go due to the renewal fees) Any thoughts on 3D tv domains with the South Africa extension?

 

more 3d adult stuff
warning this is adult material

This is really interesting!
Broadened my horizon.
Now I will keep my eyes/mind open for new hypes and how to cash in on them .
Thank you!

And good luck with selling your 3d domains!
It will explode soon. As the first models of 3d tvs will get cheaper when the new serie comes out.
