Florist / flower domains dropping... nearly 1500 of them

[eBranding.com.au]

I was scanning the drop list and there was a pretty obvious pattern - over half of the domains have 'florist', 'flower' or 'flowers' in them, 1478 domains in total.

It looks like all or most of these were held by one registrant. Assuming they were all registered by the same person, that's about $30,000 for a two year registration period.

I'm sure it was a good idea at the time...

Haha, that explains the huge spike in my stats. Thanks for sharing.

Usually I see between 1 to 700 dropped domains every 6 hours. Last night it showed 2045 for a 6 hour period which is unusual but I hadn't looked into it yet.

Florists be loco! Watch the snatch and grab now that all the hostage domains are free

Given the time of year, someone obviously wanted to make a monopoly of Valentines day, haha.

I certainly hope nobody here thinks I am a website florist guru, I can tell you that there are FAR more worthy members on dnt for that title.

has anyone told Tim ?

Daaaaaaaa

honestly most of them are crap and I'm not saying that to scare people off, longtails, no cpc, no exacts etcccccccc

it would seem the person just didn't stay focused on what they wanted to achieve and that's a GREAT lesson for everyone.

we have seen a lot of this over the last 6 + months by various people dropping HUGE portfolios.

I think panda and penguin killed a fair few domaining business strategies not just in floristry but in plumbers etccccccc as well.

my prediction for tomorrow is that most will double drop and some then may get hand reg'd at 2.04pm but most will just die.

Haha this is insanity

it was a "moment in time" when people thought this was the best way to go and google killed it.

if you have ACTUALLY a business in that business sector then it actually does work eg: you are actually a florist in gungahlin ( pop 389 ), hmmmmmmmmmm maybe that one doesn't !
