3D.com delivers an amazing pitch for its domain name

3d

Back in July, Mike Berkens of The Domains wrote a story entitled The Next BIG Thing Is 3D: Who Owns Best Domains? The story examined who owned some of the best 3D domain names (which suprisingly isn’t any of the heavyhitters you might expect like Kevin Ham or Rick Schwartz).  In his article, Mike Berkens says the 5 Star domain in the 3D space is 3D.com, which at the time of the story was parked at Network Solutions.

That has changed.  

3D.com is no longer parked and now delivers an amazing presentation as to why companies should combine 3D.com with their marketing programs. 

The presentation is about a minute long and goes into statistics and details about 3D tvs, 3D displays, 3D movies, 3D video games, 3D gaming, and even the 3D CAD market.

3D Trend

The popularity and possibilities that films like Avatar have brought to the 3D Market, particularly with domain names has created significant opportunities for investors. 

Stephen Douglas of Success Click was not a late-adopter to 3D domains and has opened up his blog site to discuss this powerful medium.

While I have cut back on hand registering domain names in the past year, after reading these stories, it’s been difficult to not register at least one domain name.  The challenge was finding one – they’re going fast, but I did register 3Dmilitarygames.com.  I tried for 3Dwargames.com, but that name has been registered since 2005.

Sedo Press Service: Backlinks from a Major Domain Company to Domain Industry Blogs

"Sedo Press Service"
With more than 1.4 million member accounts from around the world, Sedo is the world's leading marketplace for domain names. Sedo's own Press Service backlinks to Domain Industry blogs including the popular DNJournal written by Ron Jackson.

If you weren’t aware of Sedo’s Press Service, it’s a page on Sedo’s website that provides up-to-date news on hot topics and domain industry trends.

The page includes backlinks to a number of Domain Industry stories written by bloggers listed on Francois Carrillo’s Domaining.com – including Mike Berkens’ TheDomains.com, Elliot Silver’s ElliotsBlog.com and a number of other sources including Business Wire. 

If you are planning on starting a blog or whether you already write a blog, getting backlinks from a reputed company like Sedo can help you get traffic and it’s great overall exposure for your website.

Our recent story on the sale of Oink.com for $17,000 and other interesting sales was well received by Sedo, judging by the backlink on Sedo’s Press Service page.

Starting a Domain Industry Blog

While there’s no shortage of blogs written about SEO and web development, there is a shortage of blogs covering the Domain Industry. 

If you want to start a blog, one of the first steps to building an audience is getting listed on Domaining.com.  Getting listed isn’t free, but it’s well worth the cost, as Francois Carrillo’s website aggregator will keep readers returning to your site, again and again.

Seller who hand-registered Single-Letter Domain Name D.TV in March 2010 Earns Nice Return: $18,000

stack of money

In case you missed it on Michael Berkens blog or NamePros, the seller of D.TV who hand registered the domain name in March 2010, earned a nice return.  The name sold on Sedo to Michael Berkens who wrote about the name being registered for less than $22 on March 18 after the .TV registery released single letter .TV domains.  Shortly after writing about the remarkable hand-registered domain, Michael became the buyer and purchased the name from the owner for $18,000 through Sedo.

The seller of D.TV also hand registered P.TV – probably some of the most remarkable hand-registered domain name finds of this decade.  Sure, this decade just started, but these hand-registrations might be hard to beat, at least for some time.

We’re relatively new to this whole domaining thing, but Michael Berkens has been one of our favorite bloggers, along with dozens of others who can be found at Domaining.com. 

Michael regularly shares information on his website about his purchases, sales and more.  In the story, “D.TV & P.TV: How Did They Get Registered At Dynadot Last Night For Less Than $22”, Michael left a comment in which he published his .TV holdings (see below).  You can see more of Michael Berkens portfolio over at MostWantedDomains.com.
