Pool.com introduces “Premium” .com Auctions

May 26, 2008 by Michael Berkens

According to a e-mail we received today, Pool.com is starting premium .com auctions, starting with the domain, frustrated.com, with the extremely inflated (in our opinion) reserve price of $60K.

Hopefully future auctions will contain better domains at more reasonable reserve prices as we ar not impressed with this domain at this price.

Here is a copy of the release:

Pool.com is pleased to present their very first Premium .COM Auction, beginning
Wednesday, May 28, 2008. This is the first of many valuable premium .COM domains to be auctioned off only at Pool.com, and in the spotlight for this debut auction is:

Frustrated.com

Make sure to add this unforgettable domain name to your backorder list now. Bidding will start at $60K, and don’t forget that this auction is exclusive to Pool.com so you won’t find this name anywhere else.

Keep checking your inbox and visit the Pool.com website in the upcoming weeks for more information on these great opportunities to enhacne your premium domain portfolio.

    This industry is just amazing. Everybody is chasing after Key Word names, when in reality Google pays little attention to key words. This is because their biggest fear is that people will more and more start punching in key word addressess rather than use their search capabilities. Googles largest nightmare is mass adoption of direct navigation.

    So what are we to do? My answer all along has been to adopt Key Word names with a branding handle for branding purposes. Because in reality most S.E.O. search combines both branding and Key Word recognition in their searches. If you don’t think branding is important ask someone if Google or eBay think their branding is important ?
