Unique Searches as a Renewal Signal

As my portfolio has grown in the last several years, so, too, have my renewal fees. I’ve spent more time and money buying domain names I can add to my portfolio to sell as inventory. I think I’ve done well enough picking out enough quality names that sell that it’s been worthwhile.

A great deal of these inventory quality domain names were either hand registered or bought via the DropCatch domain discount club, where the price is just above the registration fee. I have been more willing to take fliers on these names to build my inventory that I can sell for anywhere from ~$1,000 – $5,000. Preventing portfolio bloat is something I’ve been actively doing as my domain portfolio has grown.

Tandem is a venture backed office marketplace that was in the Spring 2024 batch of YCombinator startups. The company is currently using Tandem.Space for its website, and it also owns TandemSpace.com. That domain name forwards to its website.

In a LinkedIn post over the weekend, Sean Miller, Co-Founder and CTO of Tandem, discussed the pros and cons of both of these domain names. He mentioned that the company has used Tandem.Space for a while, but they are considering a change to TandemSpace.com.

The financial services firm now known as Nu made a major domain name upgrade. According to a monitoring alert I have set at DomainIQ, the Whois record for Nu.com has changed and the valuable two letter .com domain name has a new owner.

Nu.com is now owned by Nu, “one of the largest digital financial services platforms in the world.” It looks like Nu had been known as Nubank, and the Nu.com domain name now forwards to the bank’s website at Nu.co. The bank can also be found online at Nubank.com.br.

.GG is the ccTLD for Guernsey. For the past few years, I’ve seen quite a few decent .GG domain name sales appear on Namebio. I’ve also read and heard from domain investors like Logan Flatt, Mark Levine, and Adam Maysonet who have sold .gg domain names.

For a long time, I’ve followed the market and decided to get my feet wet a bit. I bought around 20 .gg domain names as speculative investments using Park.io. I wouldn’t say that I am buying blindly, but I am focusing on nice one word .gg domain names I could see being desired in the aftermarket in the $5,000 – $25,000 range.

GoDaddy will be hosting a Domain Academy meetup in the company’s Tempe, Arizona office on May 7th. Domain investors who are members of the Domain Academy platform are invited to attend the in-person meeting. The free event will be held from 3-7pm, and an RSVP is requested.

If I didn’t have family commitments, I would consider attending. If I were to attend, I would be sure to set meetings with my Afternic and GoDaddy partners who I work with on a regular basis. I haven’t personally met a few of these people, and it would be a good chance to meet in person.
