RightsHolders.com

December 28th, 2011

With SOPA currently holding the attention of online content publishers, domain owners and IP rights holders, I feel this might be a good time to bring attention to the domain name www.RightsHolders.com

I may comment on SOPA another time but suffice it to say it seems we have enough laws to enforce piracy of Intellectual Property. SOPA is another example of government gone mad, bowing to lobbyist pressures and creating laws that can only harm our fragile economy.

Anyway, I feel that www.RightsHolders.com would be a perfect platform on which to attract business for IP attorneys or IP Rights organizations.

Feel free to contact me with questions or to make your offer. The time is right for this domain name. wineguy (at) wineguy.com or call at 715-379-7912

P.S. Is anyone else getting hooked on “Words With Friends” ??

BeerWerks.com

December 27th, 2011

I love beer and not just because it ultimately helped the rise of civilization. Beer is a fascinating subject, an agricultural product really and I am just a country boy at Heart. I have bought and sold some nice beer related names over the years and have grabbed BeerWerks.com  for another home brew site idea I had…again just too many ideas rattling around in my ADD addled brain.

BeerWerks.com can be applied in many ways to the industry, home brew supplies, beer taps and systems. Just a cool name with some branding panache. It is marked at $1999 on it’s landing page,  www.BeerWerks.com , and now I am ready to negotiate some.  Throw  out an offer at wineguy (at) wineguy.com or just call me at 715-379-7912

Cheers!

Today’s Available to Register Domain 11-17-2011

November 17th, 2011

So awhile back in another ADD moment, because I owned a relevant domain name, I was doing research on ‘binary options‘, seems like a legal way to gamble on the direction of the financial markets. And please understand, I am not judging here, I think Americans should have the legal right to place a bet on the outcome of any proposition.

SIDE RANT:

I also believe online poker is a skill game and should not be restricted as it has been. But if the government smells any possible revenue flow to their coffers from a habit or enjoyment that an American Citizen exibits. First the practice, in this case online poker, will be called into question, second it will be condemned, third it will be restricted by some means the government has at it’s disposal (UIGEA),  fourth it will be parted and parceled out to friends of officials and lobbyists with the deepest pockets (see this article on Caesars readiness when poker is regulated), next it is debated, finally it is regulated, taxed and legalized ( even when it wasn’t illegal in the first place). END RANT..

 

Anyway back to the binary options search…I find alot of the great keyword domains are taken but as the market grows some of the  longer tail terms could have more value. So here are a few free to register domains you may want to grab if you are betting on the binary options market:

binarybanker.com , binarybankers.com, binaryinvestors.com , binarytutorial.com, binarypick.com , binarypicks.com (These domains are all available to register at the time of this writing)

I especially like BinaryInvestors.com and a far second place would be BinaryPicks.com for someone selling advisory services . I have a few other domains in the original binary names list that are hyphenated and more suitable to SEO work so drop me a line if you want to see those too.

The affiliate opportunities in binary options are many and very high paying, similar in scope to CPA bounties for casino and gaming programs, so go check it out..even ClickBank has some offerings…

Here is an available to register domain if you want it….

November 16th, 2011

So I am going to start posting my free to register domains here so if someone registers it before I get around to it it won’t become another domain collecting dust on my shelf, maybe it will collect dust on someone else’s shelf , BUT NOT MINE!

So I am watching the new show on Discovery, American Guns  and owner pulls out a forged slide and frame for a 1911 and just like a lot of domain investors got up , went to the computer and started doing searches. Turns out the are a lot of sites that sell these sets. Apparently machining the slide and frame from a forged set versus a cast set is the like the difference between day and night. So anyway I thought there might be a few nuggets laying around in the surrounding niches and found this beaut that I am passing up and is currently free to register:

HammerForged.com – ‘hammer forged’

384,000 exact keyword search Google results

The term ‘hammer forged’ really includes a much larger field than just firearm forgings so go take a close look at the term.

A couple other domains that caught my eye but come in a far second are  firearmforging.com ,  firearmforgings.com

So if you grab it let me know,  if not, no big deal, it’s all good!!

GrowGrapes.com domain for sale

November 16th, 2011

So here is one of those:

I wish I had more time to develop this niche domain because I like  and wanna learn more about viticulture , it’s cool and I really need to focus on whats important and will I regret it if I sell this domain in case I do get time to develop it in the future, “SQuirREL!” , what was I talking about, oh yeah, I really need to be more in the NOW kinda post“…

GrowGrapes.com , could be my retirement business, just imagine me as a little old man ( about 15 more years to be considered old and not sure if I could ever pass as “little“) there I am out tinkering in my vineyard and nursery and shipping out 20,000-30,000 vines a year. Sell some books, videos and other instructional materials, maybe a few wine making supplies. Nothing huge , but I am certain if someone started today they could grow a business starting with GrowGrapes.com that could far surpass my simple ideas.

There are  a lot of other products and services that can be marketed with this domain, Clickbank alone has Eight (8) grape growing courses with decent gravity and commissions. Vineyard consultants and grape nurseries  are perfect matches for the domain. There are many rootstock and nursery affiliate programs that would provide relevant inventory for the name. There are many existing businesses out there that should have this domain right now.

SEO should be doable at a high level with such a keyword exact domain. It already has type in traffic, more during seasonal fluctuations. I may regret it but it is now for sale, I have decided.

Contact me if you have an offer right now, it may take awhile before I figure out what I will offer it for publicly so you may want to call while I am a bit confused to it’s value. If you want to talk about it a little, I don’t bite, much…. Chris at 715-379-7912 or email me at contact (at) nameroi.com

WineLabels.com Domain for Sale Includes WineLabels.net

November 15th, 2011

So I had a great weekend, and in Detroit of all places. I had reservations about driving the 10 hours from my home for a full day seminar produced by the company I am closely affiliated with and currently is generating  my most sustainable growth and income. Those doubts were kicked aside by the end of Saturday and I walked away with a renewed sense of direction and plan of attack to build my wealth with this company.

Not only did I come away with a renewed excitement about possibilities, but realized how resilient , proud and capable the People of Detroit are and how one day Detroit could become a national symbol of what it means to “bootstrap your way back to prosperity”. Great City with some blemishes but hey we all have had a few pimples on our ass, right?  Go Detroit!

WineLabels.com has been in my possession since May 2000, it has been a great purchase from the secondary market since day one. In the last few years while parked or with simple affiliate links it has always produce a small but steady income. When it was really leveraged in in 2000-2002 it produce many tens of thousands of dollars in commissions, when I  actively sold DTC wine. It had always been the plan to build a substantial site around the name and it’s existing traffic but always second guessed myself regarding what the site’s focus should be.

Alas, the ADD curse, “Squirrel!

There are several areas where WineLabels.com could be leveraged, I successfully used it to generate leads interested in buying custom label wine for events, gifting and weddings, and later to sell just the wine labels (DUH!) for consumers to self apply on their own homemade or gift wines. Commercial wine label printing ( a multi-million dollar industry by itself) would be an obvious niche or I imagined WineLabels.com could be the basis for a visual showcase or shop for wine brands and an e-commerce mechanism. These uses  are the low hanging fruit and just the web based ideas, there are probably dozens more  niches  or app based uses for the domain and traffic.

SEO for this domain has always been easy as it is a exact match domain, lots of searches for the term, compared your PPC traffic costing an average of $2.02 per click and higher during the Holiday Season, the 400 to 1000 unique visitors per month are pretty valuable. I am also offering WineLabels.net as part of the sales  package, a Two for One.  I also have a few other domains I have collected in the same wine label / custom wine niche that I might include to sweeten the pot.

So to just lay it out there, I am selling WineLabels.com and am moving on to my next business which is very exciting to me.  I will be contacting all the folks who made offers on the domain previously and will be broadcasting this sale through many outlets over the next few days. This will be the perfect name with traffic that someone who loves the wine business will be able to build a fantastic business around.

Contact me in the usual ways, email at contact (at) nameroi.com or  by phone 715-379-7912.

WineShipper.com Domain For Sale

November 10th, 2011

They say everything is for sale at some price. Sometimes you have to also factor in the “opportunity cost” of holding on too tight for too long. I have had the WineShipper.com domain for over 10 years, since 2001. That is a long time for me to own anything. In that time I have had many offers on the domain, looking back some were spot on. But I keep looking at building a freight and shipping quotes site for the wine industry, still a attractive idea and much easier to build today than even 5 years ago. But you have to look in the mirror and ask yourself,  am I ever going to get to the dozens and dozens of ideas I would like to turn into a business, the hard truth is no, the easy truth is no.

Everything is for sale and has it’s price, shoot me an offer on WineShipper.com . Contact Chris at  contact (at) nameroi.com or call..

OccupyD.com Might be for sale…

November 8th, 2011

Can you believe how quickly the Occupy Movement has spread and is still spreading? Due to ongoing ADD tendencies I sorta jumped on the bandwagon too quickly with a new domain and a plan to offer a clearinghouse and link home to all the different regional Occupy movements. Alas, who has the time, unlike a lot of Occupiers, I have things to do, and when I run outta things to do I create something new.

Execution is all of our problem, I have frankly executed at a low level in the past and I am now notching that up daily and as such must let ideas lie and die, cause if it was a great “Hell Yeah Idea”  it wouldn’t be just lying there. If I get rid of the domain then I can clear my head of the idea and get to executing on my other great stuff…

So, I think I will let the domain name OccupyD.com go. Cheap…. I need to make room in my brain…..Drop me a line at (contact (at) nameroi.com) if you have interest..or call….whatever…
