What does a good domain cost now?  The average selling price is now around $2000 for the most popular extension, Dot Com.  ( Click for the Report Recent Regarding Sales and Prices.)

Why does a domain's extension matter? DOT COM, NET and ORG are the first extensions allowed used by the general public.  Dot COM is most sought after by individuals and business,  Dot NET was originally intended for use with Internet and communication companies but now is used generally for business.  Dot ORG is usually used by non-profit and other organizations.  People tend to remember these extensions and they carry the most prestige and best chance of good search engine result placement.

When the Domain Name System was created in the 1980s, the domain name space was divided into two main groups of domains. The country code top-level domains (ccTLD) were primarily based on the two-character territory codes of ISO-3166 country abbreviations. In addition, a group of seven generic top-level domains (gTLD) was implemented which represented a set of categories of names and multi-organizations. These were the domains GOV, EDU, COM, MIL, ORG, NET, and INT.

During the growth of the Internet, it became desirable to create additional generic top-level domains. As of October 2009, there are 21 generic top-level domains and 250 two-letter country-code top-level domains.  DOT US is the United States Country Code, traditionally used by local government but now open to US citizens and those with a a US place of business.

Each year more extensions are crested by entrepreneurs wishing to sell.  Each additional third-rate extension just confuses people more and makes the original Internet extensions more valuable.

Why do some of our 'for sale' sites contain information about the subject, related text and images?  First, some of this information is interesting, Secondly,  some related text on the page helps with search engine optimization to enable you to find the site!  When your own longer site is there, and if your site is skillfully designed, search engine placement will improve even more !

What's the story with sites that  propose to 'analyze' domain names? Many sites make ad money by  publishing  statistics they have gathered about domain names.  These relate to links into the domain, traffic, offers, etc.  These statistics do not mean much until a site is developed, with a full, multi-page website. Why? Because search engines, Google and others, are not dumb (understatement) and know if a domain is associated with a 'real' site or a one-page "for sale" site.  They want to return results that are the most useful to the searcher and often leave sale sites out of their database, or assign them a low rank. 

As soon as a site is developed, the search engines start to treat it as a 'real' site and these statistics will change  according to the quality of the domain, the popularity of the site  and the search engine skills of the web developer.  It's unfortunate that so many are confused by this concept.  Our domains have never been used as pure traffic sites or email addresses, spam, etc.  They have had consisted of one page with a sale note and a few ads. We do not play the traffic game but prefer deal in quality domains, those useful to "end-users" who intend to use the domain for their business or profession.

What about frequent misspellings, hyphens/dashes and 'forgot the dot' domains? Some domains that might not be suitable for a main company web site can be very effective at garnering the visitors your company needs.  Here are some examples:  ManhattenLawyer.com is a frequently misspelled phrase.   If a site uses that spelling, people who type that spelling into the address box may end up on that page.  They can then be directed to your main site.  Wwwprotein.com is an entry wherein the person searching for protein means to type www.protein but they forgot to type the dot.  If your site is www.wwwprotein.com those searchers can end up on your site.  This is why some of these domains are included in our lists.  It's not because we can't spell. Hyphens may make sense for some domains because they just look better, e'g', merge-acquire.com (mergers and acquisitions).  A hyphenated domain will do just as well on search, with most search engines recognizing a hyphen as a space.  The only problem with hyphens occurs when the domain is announced on the radio and the speaker has to say "hyphen" and this is confusing to the listener. 

Should I care about a domain's 'traffic?" When you buy a site for  a history 'traffic' you are going to get the old traffic, visitors who were looking for the previous site.  This traffic does not last and the traffic that you site gets will depend on the domain, the skill of the web developer and the quality of your site,  Sites that have not been used by previous businesses will probably have no traffic.  Meaningful traffic is created when you put a meaningful site on and searchers want the information on your site.   Unless a domain is an obvious one word "type-in", like business.com,  traffic statistics are not very meaningful.

Trademark Information: When we register a name, we do a cursory TM search before registering domains and most domains are generic.  If you have a legitimate TM issue,  please send a note.   We offer no advice to buyers regarding trademarks and service marks or other issues. It  is incumbent on the domain buyer to determine whether his/her/it's use of a domain will infringe on an existing TM since we have no idea how the buyer will use the domain.

Where did we get these domains?  Who are we?  One of us is a dentist and an attorney with a special interest in IP internet issues.  The other is a medical student.  We started collecting these domains over ten years ago in our space time. Both companies have a history of many successful sales with satisfied buyers.    We took a risk early, starting around 1997, invested funds and spent innumerable hours watching dropped domain lists, entering auctions, registering domains we anticipated would be useful years later.  We have full time careers and what started out as a fun hobby became busier as people started to appreciate the value of these domains.

What is the relationship between Domain Dakini, Inc. and Domain Sage, Inc?  One corporation is owned by mother, one by son.

Bulk Sales: Yes, Inquire.  We Will sell lots of 25 or more at a discount. Prices still depends on the domains. We also have many key word domains for those who make traffic sites.

Thanks! Lynne Heckert, DDS, JD,  President, Domain Dakini, Inc.
