Deleted.com - auction ends in few hours for this prime one word dot.com

Azam.biz · 29-06-2006, 04:17 AM

From an initial bid of US $25,000 at eBay, bidding for deleted.com has risen to $42,100.00.

Bike.com sold last month for $500,000 and WirelessPhone.com for $355,000. Even a fairly average CreditCare.com just sold on Tuesday, 27 June for $125,000. Deleted.com is a superior domain name to to the latter.

There are 216,000,000 results on Google for “deleted” and the domain name could have a number of uses, including deleted stress, deleted debt, deleted pain, deleted data or deleted domains.

The domain name receives over 400 type-in visitors a day and has a Google Page Rank of 4. The price includes a developed website.

We have just uploaded some screenshots to show a few things. First off, http://www.deleted.com/ebay/oneweekstats.jpg . Here you can see the consistancy of users. Sedo's Tracker is installed which also monitors the traffic. Visit here: http://www.deleted.com/ebay/toptensedo.jpg (only put it up two days ago); in this shot you can also see that Deleted.com is in the top 10 current domains on Sedo ranked for traffic.

However, its content and existing traffic are insignificant compared to its value as a one word dot com domain name. Sedo has selected deleted.com to be in their Top Domains List. Only around 300 domains are chosen for this category from over 4 million domains listed!

As businesses move online, deleted.com will only increase in value. The eBay auction represents a unique opportunity to own the Beverly Hills of cyberspace.

The eBay auction can be found here.

Can you tell me why the Sedo tracker says 190:

Thanks for your post. We installed Sedo tracker specifically so everything could be out in the open.

Spent five minutes looking and I can't see any reference to the number 190 anywhere on the link you provided. It could have changed, as your post is a few hours before mine.

What I see on Sedo ("StatisticVisitorPerDay") is:

Visitors per day:
451 Tu
409 We
235 Thu (so far today)

According to Statcounter, the traffic is higher. However, I reckon the Sedo tracker is far more reliable - though it has its faults too.

To be quite frank, I don't the value of this domain name is in its existing traffic. Figures should be as accurate as possible, of course, but the existing traffic is insignificant in terms of determining a value for this domain name.

If anybody is seriously interested, feel free to ask more questions

http://www.domainstate.com/showthrea...threadid=64837 That the same domain?

As on that thread it mentions shill bidding and other dubious stuff ?

Very intersting read as it seems 'nitro4' is the domain owner

good detective work - the more scam artists we get out of the domain game the better for all of us.

Azam.biz · 01-07-2006, 11:40 PM

As many people on this forum know I do a lot of buying and selling of domain names and, after some recent successes, have sometimes been hired by people to help them sell domain names. I was recruited to promote deleted.com for a client - who, as the ebay auction clearly states is in British Columbia, Canada - and if anyone can point out one thing that I have done wrong then please state it in public.

I don't know what on earth whois-search implies by linking to posts I've made on another forum and saying I have a "history" but, if you think I've done anything wrong, I'd like you to be forthcoming with it please - publically. In nine years of posting thousands of messages online, nobody has ever accused me of being a crook (apart from that lose cannon on the other forum who does not reveal his own identity and thinks every business opportunity/affiliate program on the planet is a fraud without bothering to do any research or providing evidence to back us his assertion).

Just to clarify, I am not "nitro" or "Mr Deleted" or anybody else who may have posted on other forums in the long history of deleted.com. I use Azam.biz as my username on forums. I never hide my identity online - unlike most people on forums - and within 30 seconds anyone can find thousands of posts by me online (as well as my name, address, home, office and mobile number).

The reason I am forthcoming with my details is because I have nothing to hide. I'd like to think I behave with the utmost ethics (just last night I turned down the opportunity to make thousands of pounds with an affiliate program because it didn't live up to my ethical standards. The affiliate manager was surprised at my stance; in all probability 99% of people here would not bat an eyelid at promoting that merchant if they have the chance of making thousands.)

As for past monkey business related to the domain name deleted.com - thanks for digging it out for us. I'm intrigued it has had such a convoluted history and am beginning to research it's history on other forums. I just hope that there has been no skullduggery in the past sales of deleted.com and my company's reputation is not tarnished because we were hired to find buyers for it.

Quite frankly, I wish I'd never agreed to help promote this domain name. I missed half the England match posting on forums trying to make it clear I am not involved in any past shenanigans related to deleted.com, knew nothing about its history, and am just an agent trying to promote it.

Not only does it look like I will not get paid a penny for all my hard work, but people begin to question your reputation just by association. Gotta be more careful who I take on board as a client in future
