30 July 2009 - 0:10When it comes to good online gaming gadgets domain names, short, sweet, and “.com” fits the bill
Domain name extensions are also of key importance. The top online gaming gadgets TLD is obviously .com, but remember that country domain extensions and other TLD’s (.net, .org, .biz, etc.) can be just as effective if played together carefully during your marketing campaign. “We got stuck with a .co.uk version of the domain we wanted,” relays Brigid Bergara, from Bruneau Smyre and Sons Marketing, “but we played it to our advantage by marketing heavily to those in the UK, and beefing up local SEO in Great Britain. The results show for themselves: we had record breaking profits last quarter.” Much like any burgeoning market, many of today’s top online gaming gadgets domain specialists wish they had gotten in sooner. “I wish I had started this stuff five years earlier - I’d be making bank,” laments, Romana Hedrich, a domain name broker at the Rerko Meanor Firm, “but hindsite is always 20/20, and I’m 100 percent certain there is still lots of money to be made. Last year alone, domain sales for online gaming gadgets companies topped $10 million dollars, which tallied up to be a record setting year.” “The great thing about online gaming gadgets domains,” raves Stolinski Muhammad, “is that they are universal around the world. Once you lock up a short, simple domain, you can market the hell out of it and cash in on the high revenue online gaming gadgets industry.” Stolinski Muhammad, an auctioneer, consignor, and broker, works with Mohamad Needleman, who also sells domains to many Fortune 500 companies. One oft forgotten aspect of online gaming gadgets related domain purchases is the use of email related activities with the domain name. “Email is so ingrained into the backbone of the online gaming gadgets internet sector that many forget about it when buying a domain,” said Jerlene Mckearin of the Araceli Mcquaid INC firm, “but when you think about it, you want a domain that people can remember, and a domain that is free of any blacklist status so that you can use it to freely communicate with online gaming gadgets customers.” Recently, at a online gaming gadgets domain auction sponsored by Edward Sajorda and Corsetti Cazares Partners Ltd, the top selling domain name cracked over $250,000 USD, setting a new auction house record. This was also a record for the online gaming gadgets industry, which until now, usually sees an average domain value of $50,000 USD. And, as time has progressed, transferring domains between registrars, especially online gaming gadgets related domains, has become easier. The process typically takes about 7 days, and requires explicit use of important passwords, confirmation codes, and email correspondence. Without these security measures, domains would be subject to constant piracy, which is something many executives in the online gaming gadgets sector wish to avoid at all costs. “We’ve heard of other businesses temporarily loosing their domain name to hackers,” said Lowhorn Melin, President of Lowhorn Melin INC, “but after a couple days, the name is recovered and doubly secured by the respective company at their domain name registar.” The best thing about buying a new, unregistered online gaming gadgets related domain name is the price. At $5-$8 USD, getting a domain that no one else has registered is extremely affordable. If real estate sold for proportionately equivalent prices, people would be buying out farmers for a few thousand dollars. “This is good news for all those in the online gaming gadgets marketing business,” states Winston Brinsfield, “and the fact that internet related marketing only diminishes in cost over time means that soon original domain name purchases will be dirt cheap!” What about those with less desirable domain names’ Are online gaming gadgets domains with hyphens, indiscriminate numbers, and extra words completely useless. Not so, believes Abby Tornow, a top auctioneer in the online gaming gadgets field. “With the power of the search engines these days, its not the end of the world if you don’t get a glitzy domain name. Just SEO your site to the best of your abilities, and slowly but surely people will beging to remember your site’s presence on the internet when making online gaming gadgets related buying decisions,” states Wiemer Peto, CEO of Cassie Stupp Corp.
