I have submitted like 20domains. None was approved. I think SH is not for me. I need someone to guide me on how to outband.

Only 20. lol

I have 144 SH names now

my total submission should be close to 900names. Do the maths & see how many names have been rejected.

Dont get discouraged, keep firing

I agree its frustrating but keep pushing

Those this show i have accepted i remebered clicking accept

Yes you have accepted, its waiting for it to be registered, i guess its SH registered

When you start out, someone has to approve your name to be registered even though they have accepted the name.

When your acceptance rate increases, I dont know the exact figure, Your names will be instantly registered once you hit the accept & publish button.

You will get the notification when you are qualified for instant registration of names.

If its taking too long, you can reach out to support, that the name is yet to be registered & you dont want to loose the name. That is if its an SH name

when I coin a name, submit to SH & They register it, what will you call it?

I have actually come to the conclusion that SH accepted names is based on the mood of who reviews your name. If you disagree, just explain to me how a wrongly spelt name was accepted over a rightly spelt name with more meaning.

Note: Names are same

Not really mood but off course in every line of work, some workers will be more skilled than others, this might come into play.

SH can be frustrating, read my screenshots some pages back, that was my interaction with g
Grant, I pointed out that their article on the kind of names they accept doesnt tally with how their accept or reject names.

One sure thing is that we dont have the metrics they use in vetting names but i know for sure that, the kind of names that have been selling & the type of names that contest holders have been liking plays a role into their acceptance matrix.

Do they teach you how to get names from ED? I feel the course is for those with deep pockets. They will teach all about good names, but those names can only be gotten when you enter a bidding war.

Would have loved to take advantage of the student discount.

It is not about deep pockets, its about our mindset on spending money on improving ourselves. It is few folks that have broken through that barrier.

Some of us can sell a name for $1000 but will find it difficult to put $300 aside for a training program. I am aware that fake training might have contributed to this.

On issue of names, Gems abound everywhere & not just on Auction houses. Some reported a sale of $8k on afternic, a name he bought for $100 or so.

It is the skill to recognize such Gem that counts and that is what Dnacademy is all about. The platform also has a robust forum.

If you want to subscribe you must be dedicated to learn & use the platform to its maximum potential. I couldnt achieve this because of work activities & that is why i want to do lifetime subscription, that way i can always make reference to it anytime.

ok sir
justdropped .com used to send me weekly domain list. if I click on the said domain it will ask me to pay $69 but if if I type the same domain in GoDaddy .com they will ask me to pay something around $3000. why is it like that?

This na your question naim you be dey speak spanish.

1.The person running justdropped has a similar service to ED, he gets his names, registers them and offer them at reseller price from $69-$500.

2. They probably listed it on Godaddy, just like SH, a name is available on premuim marketplace for end user and wholesale market for domainers. So before someone will buy for $69, maybe an end user might pick it up from Godaddy

3.Buying from justdropped takes you to their paypal processing page so there is no escrow.

I havent bought from them, neither have i researched them, Due diligence should be performed before you buy from them. A good start is to search for justdropped reviews on namepros

What could be wrong?
I sent in three unregistered names to SH. I saw two in the rejected tab and the third is nowhere to be found in all tabs.

Where would it be?

Its in your rejected tab, check very well. if you are using a PC, use Ctrl+ F search function and if using phone, use "find in page"

Most likely, the name was submitted before by someone else and the name was rejected, it will appear on your rejected tab for the date it was previously rejected. eg I submitted a name on May 4th 2020, It was rejected and I saw it in my rejected tab, the added date was April 02 2019.

guru in the house, justdropped do send weekly domains to me and most is for $69, so that domain if I type it at dynadot - it will say other register. Other marketplace will also say already registered except this GoDaddy and they will put $3000 for $69 domain.
a. what can cause that
b. does GoDaddy the king in this business?
c. and is justdrop like ED or GoDaddy
d. and I reason something, can I buy $69 domain and go check the price GoDaddy label it and I should auction that domain for $1000 and leave it for oyinbo to "tankle" thierself and will doing this make the domain sells faster?
sorry for long question. thanks

What's the difference between compound and real word?

Real word domain names are single words, they are not hybrid, nor invented. eg mandotcom, lotiondotcom, bookdotcom etc

Compound domain names can also be referred as 2 keyword domain names, they are two words brought together to form a compound name eg YouTubedotcom, FaceBook.com DropBoxdotcom etc

If after 3yrs of SH holding a name and it didn't sell, can I take over the name instead of allowing them to drop it?

Cc. TherealMcCain

After 3yrs, SH will not renew the name, that means it will drop and become available for registration when grace period has elapsed

EDIT After 3years you will be asked to change the renewal settings, if you dont then they will delist the domain name. The renewal settings will be you pay $10 and maintain the same 25% commision(this makes no economic sense) or pay $5 and use 500 points, same 25% (this makes no sense too).

3yrs is a long way to go, when we get to that bridge we will cross it. I will allow it drop and delisted, then register the ones I choose to register, that is if someone does not beat you to the name on ED

Avast:
Have you used the boost visibility on SH before, how does it work?

Yes I have and it didnt lead to a sale. what it basically do is to move your domain to either the 1st page when that keyword is searched or category is searched. Imagine your name appears when searched around page 5. A boost will take it closer to page 1.

In a nutshell, its meant to increase visibility of your name. its not every buyer that will have the patience to search for a name and browse to page 5 or 10. So if your name is on page 1 or page 2, it means more buyers will get to see it.

There are 2 types of boost

1.Standard boost:This requires 500points or 1coin. This option will move your names by several pages but not to the 1st page.

2.Super boost:This requires 2000points or 4coins. This option will move your names to the 1st three pages.

For both options, the boost will last for 7days.

Which kind mentality be this. Must everyone suffer, before making it in life. David suffered before making it, but Solomon just swim into wealth effortlessly. Soaring on the wing of his father's work.
It should be your joy that they are catching up faster.

Maybe my opening lines was confusing, what I meant was I see people RUSHING to register names to make sales without learning the rudiments.

Since you brought in bible, let me come in from that angle. I see people rushing for miracles without gettig to know the miracle giver & his ways. Is it clear enough?

I am not a fan of "the end justify the means".

I am no saint but i learnt how to apply brakes to names registration from the very begining. You will be amazed the total number of names in my portfolio.

Thanks for your help.
I have seen them. There were pushed to rejected tab.

#Sad. I have submitted another though.

LESSON 1:Never reveal an unregistered domain name unless you are willing to loose them. Always blur them out.

LESSON 2: That SH rejected a name doesnt mean its a bad name, there are so many reasons. eg if SH has too many of such similar names, yours will be rejected, its no longer a matter of quality but quatity.

This advice does not in any way validate the names you submitted. You were close with the 1st name.

Hi, McCain. I am kinda of confused. I submitted 3 names on 1may. my status remain Pending Review until this morning.

this morning my status changed to sold with no clarification or notification. what is the problem?

Explain further?

SH cannot sell your name without you accepting to list it after approval.

Did you click on accept in the "pending commision approval"?

Have you checked "rejected" tab to see if the name is there?

When you say status changed to sold, where did you see this?

can you send a screenshot

Well done Sir.

I listed a name(Unregistered) on SH but I am seeing it on delisted with price and commission.

I didn't receive a mail whether it is approve. What does it mean by being 'delisted'?

It appears you mistakenly clicked on the remove link. try submitting the name again and see or its a glitch on their part.

I experienced this before and reached out to support, they had no clue what happened.

Someone reached out to me for clarification on ACR column on EXpireddomains. wanted to know how to determine if the domain was previously parked or developed. I explained it in my book but let me throw more light.

Picture 1
Shows my watchlist, the highlighted name shows that the Number of crawled results from archivedotorg is 123. when you click on that figure it takes you to picture 2. Picture 2 is the wayback machine:This is a digital archive of the world wide web.This column shows the number of saved pages that are available for a given name over a given period of time. This picture shows that 2011 and 2012 has lots of saved pages judging by the thick black lines as opposed to 2014,2015,2016 etc the latter dates will not have much results.

For this illustration, April 16th 2012 was chosen to see what was on that page that day. Picture 3 shows the results and reveals that as at that date, this was a blog. sometimes you will see that the domain was parked, other times its a Chinese website even though the name has nothing to do with Chinese(His lordship Tranxo can shed more light on this).

There are times you will discover that 2 or 3 different companies used the domain name at different times, until it was dropped, you can also find a name that shows a website of a functioning company or active facebook profile, this might indicate that they either let the name drop or forgot to renew. After due diligence is done, you can register and outbound to that company.

Due Diligence entails but to not limited to Trademark, how many other potential companies can use the name as an upgrade etc

I don't think you have a problem. People like an aged domain. Just tell him the domain name was first registered 12yeara and you now own it.

Does year of 1st registration matter to an end user?

A name registered 10years ago & dropped only to be registered last month will be a 1month old domain.

The important question is how did the seller know the domain is aged? how did he know its 12years?

The answer is what will determine the right reply

How many days did it take before your domains got approved?

therealMcCain:
There is no exact time to give, it varies. when I joined last year, if I submit a name today, review will be ready the next day. Now it takes a longer time with some occasional speedy review time.

Experience has shown me that names submitted on Monday and Tuesday,will definitely get reviewed that week.

Thursday and Friday will get result Monday next week.

Wednesday can be that week or monday next week.

Sometimes Wednesday,Thursday,Friday will get reviewed that weekend but rare. Grant did say that they might stop weekend reviews.

This has been my experience, it might be different from others.
