February 23, 2011 – TBR session results overview

The last TBR run on February 23rd didn’t have many great names, but it had some generics, and many domain names with development potential. Usual winners such as Pool.com and Sibername.com didn’t perform very well, and Rebel.com picked the first one. Rebel.com chose GCE.ca, Pool.com was second picking BioChemical.ca. The real winner of this session though turned out to be MyID.ca making 4 picks out of the first 10 domains to drop. MyID picked up OnlineCreditCard.ca (3), CashStop.ca (4), Kelp.ca (9), and RAN.ca (10). Ran.ca was one of the most popular domain names during the pre-order at various registrars. Even though Sibername didn’t perform very well, they picked one of the best domain names to drop – Shelter.ca (6). The name that I liked the most – Watermelons.ca – was chosen by BareMetal.com (5)

Here are the first 20 results. In total 223 domain names were registered out of the 4131 that dropped.

What am I selling?

Every.ca history: http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.every.ca

At the end of year 2003 I started a website called Every.ca (www.every.ca), aka “website that covers every .ca domain name, or every domain name in .ca space”.  The purpose of the site was to cover TBR sessions and publish sorted TBR lists for everyone to see. By the standards of that time it was a very good looking site, and the information attracted many Canadian domainers. There are few reasons as to why Every.ca didn’t last long. One of the main reasons is a daily TBR sessions. Every day I had to go through the TBR lists, and it was very time consuming. I had a full time job back then, and I remember being always in a rush, trying not to miss a deadline for posting. The site was free for everyone to use, and that was another reason why the site didn’t last long. I didn’t make enough money on advertising, and didn’t have any incentive to continue after 4 years. In 2007 domain name Every.ca was sold.

Now back to the present days. I decided to start publishing my lists and charge an affordable monthly fee. I am pretty sure, some of the domainers will see the value in them. We all know how much time it takes to go through the whole list that contains around 5000 domain names. I called the service TBR TimeSaver. I will put a cap on a number of people that can subscribe in order to avoid saturation, and will try to tweak the way reports compiled to appease most of the TBR Domain Name Hunters (DNH ? )
