Today Is The Premium .Me Domains Auction Day!

3PM Today New York at the T.R.A.F.F.I.C Convention, domainers and domain investors will get a chance to own a few selected .me domains up for bidding. Watch.me, Love.me and Buy.me and just three of the very best .me domains domain-handlers have decided to toss in the hat and probably generated them some unbelievable income.

Given the results of the recent online .me domains auctions where the total money generated in roughly a month of bidding reached up to 2 million dollars, I'm people in that same auction will be closely watching and if not bidding in this next one themselves. Those who were frustrated of not getting a premium dot me domain last month and those who held back for the cream of the crop of this Montenegro internet domain will surely be keenly interested in finally landing a gem of a domain name.

Domain portfolios will be enhanced while most pockets will be emptied for this great .me domains auction event handled by Moniker.com I'm sure!

.Me Domains To Get Spotlight At The TRAFFIC Auctions

Recent PR releases indicate the premium .me domains included at tomorrow's T.R.A.F.F.I.C New York auction will get their much deserved highlight as the best of the best and most sought-after dot me domains are finally sold tomorrow.




The list goes:
Ask.me
Buy.me
Date.me
Kiss.me
Loan.me
Love.me
Marry.me
Meet.me
Play.me
Rent.me
Show.me
Watch.me

Interestingly, half of the listed .me domains above are social-related. I'm not too sure if that's a good idea selling them out on a single day. Given that .me domains haven't come around proving their value yet, I would have gone two of each type at a given time/auction. There's bound to be more .me auctions in the future anyways. However, on the list above, my chips are on the three .me domains highlighted to make a very good impression on the bidders.

I'm seeing this should be a make-or-break event for the "dot me." If these domains make a very good showing tomorrow, I'm betting many would be urged to invest on .me domains. Hope you get yours soon!

Watch.me At The .ME Public Auction!

No, not actually me... but the .me domain watch.me! Is this domain a possible domain-website challenger for the popular video website youtube.com? By the simple domain message alone, it could very well be but it depends on whoever will get to own and market it properly.

Watch.me is one of the featured .me domains on the auction block at T.R.A.F.F.I.C New York along with several other "big ticket" domains. It is one among the premium .me domains held back from public registration by the domain handlers as they feel it can bring in the big bucks for them.

Coincidentally, the word "watch" produces over 1 billion results in Googles search mostly referring to timepieces. Alternatively, the word "videos" which could also be referred as something to watch churns out over 3 billion. Some domainers, put a premium on high-search traffic domains like these.

So can Moniker.com first .me public auction make watch.me a million dollar domain? Watch.me on September 25!

Which .Me Will Be The Most Social?

The first live .me domains auction on September 25, by conicidence or deliberate hand, features 4 of the "most social" dot me domains you will ever find! Meet.Me, Date.Me, Kiss.me, Love.me and Marry.me in no particular chronology (notice the pattern? LOL) will all be sold in one single afternoon and should be the highlights of this highly anticipated auction event.

Social and Dating networks have been aweso.me business in the past few years and quite a few people have made themselves multi-millionaires through this online business path. It just might be the single reason why we will all see these 4 .me domains get bids on the $50,000 range. Ofcourse it is just my bold prediction. However, if the 2 million dollars raked in the last online .me domain auction is any indication of things to come, I wouldn't be surprised if these four will accumulated a total sum of $200,000 easy.

If you want to participate in this live auction, check out my previous post on the mechanics. There's also an extended online auction for the rest of the .me domains not included in this lot.

.ME Domains Auction Bidding Options

A lot of domainers and domain investors are certainly looking forward for September 25, the first live .me domains auction which features several long-kept .com's and quite a cool line-up of .me domains up for grabs. Premium dot me domains like loan.me, date.me, meet.me, show.me and buy.me will be featured domains in this live auction event.

Wishful domainers hoping to get their hands on some of the domains mentioned among notable others can make their bids in 4 ways. The information below came from Moniker marketplace which will handle this highly anticipated event:

Hope you snap that .me domain name. Good luck all!

Is Loan.me better than Insure.me?

The coming .me domains public auction will feature several "premium" domains. Among those featured are dot me domains like ask.me, date.me and loan.me. The last one mentioned is one of the most sought after primarily because of its "internet" value.

The word "loan" pertains to a very huge market and is big business almost anywhere just like the previously sold insure.me. In fact, in the current economic conditions, it might very well be a more valuable domain in terms of marketing potential. Every company will naturally try to get each and every edge it can over its competition. That is is why simple keyword domains like loan.com and insure.com are highly desirable and are valued in several thousands of dollars, $160,000 and $45,000 respectively. Interestingly enough, the recently conlcuded online .me domains auction proved that insure.me is perceived to be more valuable than insure.com(at least to the auction winner). Insure.me sold for $68,005 while insure.com is crudely valued at $45,000 in a simple domain appraisal tool.

So will loan.me be perceived to be more valuable? Will this unproven .me domain beat an old trusted .com domain? The first live .me domain auction on September 25 shall provide the answer.

Sell Your .ME Domains at the Auctions!

If any of you bought multiple .me domains in the past 2 months and think you've got an awesome gem the last time, the first public .me domains auction is still accepting domain submissions for inclusion at the domains.

Moniker.com will handle this .me domain public auction and is also responsible for evaluating submitted dot me domains for promotion. Early applicants like kiss.me, loan.me and rent.me have already been accepted and are in fact three of the featured .me domains in the said auction.

If you ready to get your return on investments this early, this T.R.A.F.F.I.C auction and extended online auction will provide you the stage to get the maximum exposure and bids for your .me domains.

Social .Me Domains Dominate The Public Auction

The coming public .me domains auction on September 25 will feature 3 of the most desirable social-related .me domains from the whole lot. Evidence that the whole socializing and online dating industry is still going strong. The 3 dot me domains are Meet.me, Date.me and Love.me although not necessarily in that order of significance. :D

However, it still remains to be seen if these dot me's will get high bids. The dot me public auction will be short and sweet from 3pm to 6pm in New York participated by both live and online bidders. I guessing these .me domains will get the right attention from the right people especially that the T.R.A.F.F.I.C auction will also feature "tasty" .com domains like sleep.com, stock.com, creditscores.com, pay.com and one special dot net property.net.

For those who can't attend the live auction, they can still follow the action live with a .me domain podcast. Moniker will be managing this first ever .me domains public auction.

Who will buy.me for millions?

The coming .me domains public auction this September 25 shall present another proof that the .me domains hype ain't over. After the open registration which saw .me domains being registered by the tens of thousands in just one day and the recently "almost" concluded .me domains which raked in over 2 millions dollars in sales, the first .me domains public auctions will be held at T.R.A.F.F.I.C New York managed by moniker.com.

The actual event will actually be both a live person auction and online auction that runs till October 2nd. An excellent set of mixed domains will be in the auction but the most interesting parts of the event will be premium .me domains like buy.me, watch.me, date.me, ask.me and loan.me. These will be featured auction items that will surely get extra attention and ofcourse the "ka-chings!"

I'm seeing at least one of the mentioned .me domains above will get to 7 figures in bids. My best bet is Buy.me. As a comparison, I made a very crude estibot domain appraisal of buy.com and found it be worth at least $5 million! So will people bite buy.me for a cool one million bucks? Mark your calendar September 25 is the day of reckoning for .me domains!
