First half of Targeted T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Amsterdam auction inventory released
May 26, 2009 by Rick Latona
While we are proud of the list below, we need more submissions. As you can see we are heavy on certain extensions so don’t hold back if you have something premium that isn’t represented below. Of course, we’ll take any names that are great and priced right.
Keep in mind that we are also taking strong .com names as long as they are relevant to the European market.
For those of you that are paying attention you’ll be in for a treat. There is one country represented below that I’m sure none of you expected.

About Reclames.nl,
The word “Advertisements” translated to Dutch would be: Advertenties
The word “Commercials” translated to Dutch would be: Reclames
I haven’t seen any .es domain and only one .de. I expected more of them. Any reason?
indeed the co.nz is a suprise indeed,
am missing amsterdam.com on this list:-)
very nice domains so far , lets see a lot of .es in the next half:-)
Alfredo, it’s because we aren’t getting good submissions. The .es names we are getting are all English words or crazy high reserves.
DonSubasta, I was referring to the .cm names.
Ed, thanks we’ve fixed it.
I can not see any three letter .eu domains. Hope there will be a few good in the auction, too.
Hi,
Where can domains be submitted?
I believe the original submission page is no longer working.
Hi Patrick,
I can safely tell you that the submissions form is working….overtime.
It is under the Auctions tab above or can be navigated to directly by going to http://www.ricklatona.com/auctions/submission-form.
Hi Rick, I submitted these for the ccTLD auction, but they were all rejected, do you see anything in this list that might deserve reconsideration. (the reserve is flexible for all of them)
Amerika.us
Ebid.us
Oath.us
Rifle.us
Blogster.us
Hairdo.us
Mutuals.us
Posture.us
Intercept.us
DietFoods.us
Entitled.us
FlexFuel.us
LadyLiberty.us
MoneyWatch.us
Pathogens.us
Maybe these shows can be successful without an auction. Networking and good panelists should be enough of a draw, not to mention a backdrop like Amsterdam.
[...] also saw that a partial list of auction domain names was released yesterday, and I was surprised to see some .cm domain names listed - great generic [...]
Rick and David,
The reserves on my .us name submissions are flexible, too…. ~mj
Will traffic stats be released for the .CM’s?

This is Europe why .cm or .mx or .us or .co.nz or.ca what is .ph ?
Cannot even see a European foreign language domain. Your choice of generics is just awful.
When will the entire list be posted?
Jonathan,
We are at the mercy of our submissions. We do have many more .es and other European names to add. We want more quality .nl and .de names but we just aren’t getting them.
I can not see any .PL names at the list. Don’t you like this ccTLD?
.PL is 6th European domain extension, with ~1,3 mln of registered names, and pretty interesting aftermarket growth level.

These were .co.uk - .com - .it English / French / Italian language registrations
Davids reply
We appreciate your submissions and we are happy that you are considering us to help you sell your domain name asset(s). However, due to the large number of submissions and the limited number of slots, we are not going to be able to list the domain name(s) that you have submitted to us.
If the reserves were to high then perfectly acceptable reasons on both sides.
The large number of submissions ? “video gratuit” ” videos gratuit” = free video
“contract law” +++ not bad quality
The list is good and will certainly get better when finalized but I would really suggest you get back to doing auctions the proper way:
- don’t publish the reserves, but rather a price range or ideally an appraised value / guideline
- start the bids reasonably below the reserve price; this allows all interested parties to bid and creates the momentum needed for bids to rise
This is how auctions are run throughout the auction industry from well known establishments like Christie’s all the way to virtual marketplaces like eBay. The fact we are dealing with domains doesn’t mean we should change the way an auction is to be performed.
For some of those that might not be familiar with some of the cctlds, are you going to provide guidelines on how the transfer procedure works, forms that need to be submitted, If a company needs to be set up, rules on what can be displayed on the sites etc. Some cctld registries are pretty strict on these types of things– like .ro are not suppose to be sold, .ca you need a presence there. Or is it buyer beware kinda thing. I know for the .cm’s in the past getting something set up where you can actually purchase domains is pretty tough, i imagine transfering them to a new owner could be equally as hard.

Totally agree and said as much at the Paris T meet.
Hello Rick,
We have an dutch domain.
It’s a name to order food online.
I received some bid’s butit’s not enough, if you know what you can do whit the name.
How do you tricker the price for it?
Arjan
Please let me know where to submit quality .nl domainnames for the auction. Thanks!
Jonathan: You are right. The reply you got didn’t specify all of the reasons that your domain names were not accepted. With the volume of submissions, we had to decide on a canned reply in the interest of time. I will be happy to work with you to see if we can find some names, please email me directly if interested.
Aligned: There will be a lot of registries here to answer those questions in seminars. The entire schedule is posted at http://www.targetedtraffic.com/cctlds. There are 2 people from .cm here right now, and they will be on a seminar panel as well.
Laurens: Be happy to look at quality .nl domains that are Dutch word(s). Please use our submissions link at http://www.ricklatona.com/auctions/submission-form.
