Domains .РФ: forecasts and personal opinion

November 11 happened - the .РФ domain, how much water there was and how much more it would be, decided to disengage and not write "on a hot head", but still, after a while, I will state my thoughts.

Immediately make a reservation - I am not a domainer, domains are not my main business and I cannot call him a business exactly. Domains are a side effect that came to me from SEO.

Therefore, everything I am writing about is only my opinion, and not an expert story about the future or something like that.

Yes, I have in my store not one or two hundred domains of different caliber, about 80% is frankly seoshny slag , but the rest was taken consciously for sale. Several sales per year, such domains, allow you to freely recoup these thousands of domains , but still there are among this mountain and especially expensive for me, as well as for the end customer.

You can talk a lot about the future of the zone. RF , but I do not understand why it is considered so one-sided?

Are there any problems with it? - Of course there are many, one of the main ones is technical, but all this will fade at its main advantage.

I do not see the future of any domain in the zone .РФ in its pure form, just because of technical problems, but it is not necessary to throw out a barrel of honey because of a spoon of tar!

Each project can have a sonorous name that can be printed on business cards or banners, on any outdoor advertising in the city, and this can even be the longest domain of the type: installation-windows-pvh.rf

I constantly spoke and I will repeat - a hyphen is needed in long domains and sales to end customers have repeatedly convinced me about this, among the end customers were both simple business and large international firms.

If this phrase, then you can talk as much as you like about the hyphen "not premium", you can say as much as you can that autonews. RF will be cooler than auto-news. RF , but this will ultimately turn out to be wrong, and I’ve been to this repeatedly made sure!

I sincerely envy people who have taken away the "codes" in the zone .РФ, because I knew how to monetize them and I got the most slag types CUSTOMS-CODE.RF, LAND-CODE.RF and others, but I didn’t have time to take the main ones.

Of course, the results did not greatly please me, only 26% of my applications "played" , partly on me, part on others of my people. Although I did not initially apply for domains such as avto.rf and others, they were not interesting to me and I did not rely on them.

I have customer sites that I promote, in which requests are studied in detail, I know which of them are really selling and at some frequency of 1000, according to the WordState, they can make sales for several million rubles.

And whoever is directly involved in the business - they also rushed to register en masse. RF, niches in which ordinary domainers "with a brain poisoned with foreign articles" will not get.

There are many myths that are generally even beneficial to the domain market - less competition, because everyone can try themselves in this market.

I think it is necessary to include moghs more often and try to think about them, rather than read about which letters are bonus, how much the price reduces the hyphen mark and so on. Of course - the basis, a huge mass of domains. RF is registered under the goal of SEO, as I understand from the names, but the business does not lag behind. Although I do not expect special preferences zone. RF, but the snippet will be many times more clickable, IMHO.

Even a small business can afford to buy a good domain at a reasonable price from $ 500 to $ 2000 , and this is far from being a premium and very often just a regional domain (tested by repeated sales of regionalok). Therefore, it is not always necessary to bet on the mass segment.

Even simple business owners with whom I spoke personally, called and asked where they were going and how much they invested in the future of their business.

Yes, someone might try to pull Cyrillic domains in .SU and so on, but try to follow the advice that I wrote a little higher about the brain. Include .

PS Although I do not exclude, I may be at 1000% wrong! But what I see now among businessmen, and not just domainers or SEOs, does not reflect the opinion of the domain business tycoon with the most premium domains that live in their dreams and budgets of tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars and individual sales. I have a little easier and less domain prices. There are already several domains sold (through rent, for a year), as well as several applications.

PSS By the way, November 11 was SearchEngines birthday (10 years to the forum - Surchu many thanks), everyone I saw - thanks for the communication, it was nice to meet many in reality.

By the way, what were these people doing in the photo (I photographed), at night, after DR Sercha?

PSSS yes - the correct answer was registered on the night of the 12th of November .РФ domains in De Marco, at 2 hours in the morning. After all, on the 12th it was possible without any application to become the owner of .РФ
