網域名稱投資市場日趨熱絡

[哈啦]

重點摘要如下：

一、PPC(點擊賺錢)服務快速成長，Domain Sponsor 就停放了五十萬個網名，sedo有27.3萬個網名，RentalQueue則有24.3萬個網名parking。最大的則是一家叫SAVVIS Communications，停放在那裡的網名多達73萬個，其中有54.8個停放在十台主機上。這家公司parking的主要來源是一家叫做 Dark Blue Sea 的澳大利亞公司，他們在網路停供的PPC服務叫做Fabulous.com，有60萬的網名在賺點擊流量 。

二、Dark Blue Sea 本身自己就擁有40萬個網名。讓它躋身於世界八名單一註冊者擁有網名超過十萬個的名單之列。另外擁有網名數一至十萬的公司或個人還有十五個。擁有網名數在一千至一萬的則有七十六個註冊者。也就是說前一百名的註冊者擁有了大約二百二十萬個網域名稱。

三、在香港的神秘註冊者ultsearch屬於頂尖的註冊者，它去年才用一億六千四百萬美元賣掉了它名下的十萬個網名給四雅圖的一家網路行銷公司，這十萬個網名據說一個月的流量就有一千七百萬人次。

四、資本風險投資公司開始進入網名市場，例如一家叫Internet REIT的風險公司就表示將投入二億五千萬美元進入這個「虛擬地產」。

五，有許多人利用註冊網址後五天內可再刪除的空檔，來測試所註的網址有無流量或轉售價值。如果不行就刪除。VeriSign說每星期至少有二十五萬個網址被先註後刪，有的註冊商已考慮收取二毛五分美元的刪除費。

Domain Pay-Per-Click Services Growing Rapidly Hosting
The secret to one of the Internet's fastest-growing businesses can be found on a web server operated by Oversee.net, a little-known Los Angeles Internet marketing company. That single server houses more than 500K hostnames, all bearing web pages filled with pay-per-click advertisements from Google and Yahoo Search Marketing, and generating revenue for the owners of those domains.

Oversee operates Domain Sponsor, one of the largest players in the domain monetization industry. These services place pay-per-click ads on parked domains, optimize the sites to attract traffic, and split the resulting ad revenue with the domain owner. Their success has helped the domain resale market evolve from a speculative venture into an industry with a defined business model, which is now attracting considerable interest from venture capital firms.

Domain parking services use advanced analytics for ad matching and traffic building, and are efficient in their use of web hosting, packing thousands of domains on their servers. These operations have helped solidify the statistical leadership of open source hosting platforms, as nearly all are served by Apache web servers running on either Linux or FreeBSD.

Monetization services with a substantial presence at commercial hosts include Sedo, which hosts at least 273K hostnames at 1&1 Internet, and RentalQueue, which has 243K hostnames spread between Sago Networks and The Planet.

The host with the largest concentration of parked pay-per-click domains, strangely enough, is probably SAVVIS Communications, which is best known as a provider of high-end managed services for Wall Street firms. SAVVIS hosts a total of 730K hostnames, of which 548K reside on just 10 servers. Many of those domains are being monetized by Dark Blue Sea, an Australian company whose Fabulous.com service provides pay-per-click services for 600K domains.

Dark Blue Sea also owns 400K domains for its own portfolio, which places it among the eight players who own at least 100K domains. Another 15 companies or individuals own between 10K and 99.99K domains, according to Dark Blue Sea, while 76 more own between 1K and 9.9K names. "Internet domain marketing is largely made up of 100 people who collectively own 2.2 million .com domains," the company says.

One of those portfolios, owned by a mysterious Hong Kong investor known within the industry as UltSearch, was bought for $164 million last year by Marchex, Inc, a Seattle-based Internet marketing firm. At the time of the sale, the 100K-domain UltSearch portfolio reportedly received 17 million visits per month. Interest in the domain industry has surged in the wake of the Marchex deal, with accelerated growth in first-time domain purchases and higher prices in the resale market.

Venture capital firms are among those buying up domain name "real estate". Internet REIT says it will invest at least $250 million in domains, while VC firm Highland Capital Partners has attended recent domain industry conferences.

Some domain speculators are using the five-day grace period for new domains to "test-drive" a name's potential for pay-per-click revenue. VeriSign CEO Stratton Sclavos reports that each week up to 250K domain names are registered and then deleted within the five-day grace period by domain monetizers. Some registrars have discussed implementing a 25-cent deletion fee to discourage this practice.

The Netcraft Hosting Provider Server Count identifies servers used for bulk and registry hosting, as well as those being used for shared hosting and dedicated servers. The dataset is useful to hosting providers for competitive analysis, mergers and acquisitions, identifying international markets for organic expansion, and also to any organization selling to the hosting industry.

除了大陸的註冊商外，不知道現在還有哪一家支援註冊後刪除的功能？

[哈啦]

另外擁有網名數一至十萬的公司或個人還有十五個。擁有網名數在一千至一萬的則有七十六個註冊者。

這段文字基本上僅是某家公司自己的看法，和實際情形差很多。也就是說擁有更多網址的單一註冊者絕不只這樣，如果擁有一千以上的網名的註冊者能排入什麼幾百大以內，那真是小看了這個市場。從dnforum.com上的討論看來就知道，成千上萬的網名擁有者多如牛毛。

我不是這行的玩家, 問個外行問題：
如果我拿出一萬美金買一個 .com 域名, 可以買到多好的域名 ? 例如 .... ?
這個域名擺到 sedo 去賺 PPC, 一個月能賺到 100 美金嗎 ?

真想了解一下来自香港的神秘注册者ultsearch前辈具体注册了哪些网名,十万个网名一个月有一千七百万次的流量,他是如何创造这种奇迹的,他入行应该也有七、八年的历史吧，不知哪位大大能够揭开这位神秘注册者的面纱。

這個人一直很神秘，起先叫做yun ye，後來就叫做ultsearch.com，你可以搜尋一下本站有不少相關的文章。不知到底是個人還是一家公司？
問問reg168可能更清楚吧？

這要看你買的是那種域名。有的著重流量，通常是以前建過站的，但本身不會很好，常常是阿里不達的網名，它的流量可能會隨著時間遞減，而等流量沒了之後，這個網名基本上等於報廢了，因為本身價值不大。另外一種則是網名本身不錯(當然也不會好到哪去啦)，可做為品牌，但還不會有自然流量type-in。
要既能當品牌又有自然流量的，那大概最少六位數美金起跳。

不一定 ,你要怎樣知道有流量,沒人可以告訴你
你也不知道看你網頁的會不會點你的廣告
這種都是賭賭看 或者猜猜看
我也有花了很多錢買到一些沒流量的 就是賭輸了
也有流量很大很大 確沒賺到錢的
也有流量小 一個月賺超多的 超高的點擊率
所以只能大概評估看看

关于域名停放最后的结果不是一定流量递减，因为如果你能在大陆找到便宜的人工，运用一些搜索引擎的技巧，可以减缓流量递减的速度，甚至可以创造比原来更多的流量。

我要不是老婆不让我从台湾带钱过来大陆，我真的想要好好组织一批人和一点资金，把一些大陆的可停放域名都买下来，好好搞，一个月进个300个域名都可以赚回来，赚多赚少的问题而已，累不累的问题而已。

但是也想这里问看看有没有人愿意跟我一起玩，台币20万，可以一年回收，第二年精选好站留下的就是纯利。届时可能留下不少自己经营出来的好站。

联系我 chinetech@hotmail.com 我目前有大约1500个cn域名，经常被人家上线骂我就是了，抢了他们的过期域名。
