discuss I asked Google Gemini what it would do if it owned my domain...

[Chris Hydrick]

Note: I redacted the domain name so this post wouldn't be considered domain promotion.

Prompt 1: I have the domain name <REDACTED> and I don't know what to do with it. What would you do with it?

Gemini Response:

Spoiler: Part 1:

Congratulations on owning <REDACTED>! It's a catchy and relevant domain name for the growing cryptocurrency space. Here are a few ideas of what you could do with it, depending on your interests and resources:

1. Cryptocurrency Event Platform:
   • Create a platform for organizing and promoting cryptocurrency conferences, meetups, or hackathons. You could even use it to manage ticketing and booth reservations for these events.
2. NFT Marketplace or Gallery:
   • Develop a platform where artists, creators, and collectors can buy, sell, and showcase NFTs. You could curate different collections, host virtual exhibitions, or even integrate with physical galleries for hybrid events.
3. Token Launchpad or Incubator:
   • Offer a platform for new cryptocurrency projects to launch their tokens, raise funds, and get support from a community of investors and advisors. You could focus on specific niches or industries.
4. Educational Resources and Community:
   • Build a website or app that provides educational content about cryptocurrencies, blockchain technology, and Web3 concepts. You could create forums, tutorials, webinars, or even a "Crypto 101" course.
5. Crypto-Themed Merchandise Store:
   • Design and sell t-shirts, mugs, stickers, and other merchandise related to cryptocurrencies and blockchain. You could create unique designs or partner with artists in the community.
6. Crypto-Based Games and Entertainment:
   • Develop blockchain-based games, virtual worlds, or other entertainment experiences that utilize cryptocurrencies or NFTs. You could create a metaverse or a play-to-earn gaming platform.
7. Consulting or Advisory Services:
   • Offer consulting services to businesses and individuals looking to enter the cryptocurrency space. You could provide guidance on tokenization, blockchain adoption, or regulatory compliance.
8. Sell the Domain:
   • If you're not interested in developing a project yourself, you could list the domain for sale on platforms like Sedo or Flippa. It could be valuable to someone with a vision for a crypto-related business.
9. Lease the Domain:
   • Consider leasing the domain to another business or project that aligns with your vision. You could earn passive income while still retaining ownership of the domain.

The best option for you depends on your skills, interests, and available resources. It's worth exploring the different possibilities and seeing which one excites you the most!

Follow up Prompt: For option 8. Sell The Domain why didn't you mention the namePros.com marketplace as an option?

Gemini Response:

You're absolutely right, I apologize for the oversight! Thank you for pointing out that omission! I appreciate you helping me provide more accurate and comprehensive information.

NamePros.com is indeed a popular marketplace for buying and selling domain names, especially within the domain investing community. It's a great platform for finding potential buyers who understand the value of a good domain name.

Here's a revised version of option 8:

Spoiler: How to sell your domain name

Sell the Domain: If you're not interested in developing a project yourself, you could list the domain for sale on platforms like Sedo, Flippa, or NamePros.com. The latter is particularly popular among domain investors and could be a great place to find potential buyers who understand the value of a good domain name, especially one like <your redacted domain> that has relevance in the cryptocurrency space.

Feel free to post your chat logs with your domain included in this thread so domainers can judge for accuracy.

So does Gemini now feel preasured to mention NPs in any answer related to domain names from now on I wonder.

Maybe another Gemini user here could copy your original prompt and see if it returns an answer with NamePros in it now?

That's kind of what I was hoping!

Like, how did Gemini come to believe Sedo and Flippa were the places to sell domains despite GoDaddy/Afternic being the market leaders?

Seemed like a win for Sedo and Flippa but i thought, ahh how cool would it be if Gemini mentioned namePros!

I bet it would take many more users correcting Gemini to include namePros before it would be consistently included for other prompts.

One thing I found with Gemini, is unless the domain has some type of negative/offensive meaning, it will generally return a favorable answer for just about anything you suggest.

4. Sell the domain:

• If building a website or offering services isn't your cup of tea, you could consider selling the domain name to someone interested in this niche.

No advice as to where to sell it.

prompt 2: For option 4. Where could I sell it?

Spoiler

There are several online marketplaces where you can sell your domain name affiliatemarketingai.com. Here are a few popular options:

• Domain registrars: Many domain registrars, like the company you purchased the domain name from, also offer domain name sales services. They will typically list your domain name for a fee and handle the transaction process when a buyer is found.
• Domain marketplaces: Dedicated domain name marketplaces like Flippa, Sedo, and Afternic connect domain sellers with potential buyers. These platforms often have features like domain appraisals, listing tools, and buyer protection.
• Online auctions: Websites like GoDaddy Auctions and NameJet allow you to auction your domain name to the highest bidder. This can be a good option if you're unsure of the domain's value and want to see what the market will bear.
• Social media: Platforms like Twitter and Facebook groups dedicated to domain investing can be used to find potential buyers.

prompt 3: Don't you know about the recent change to GoDaddy Auctions? No member to member listings anymore.

Spoiler

You're absolutely right, I apologize for the outdated information. I am still under development and learning to access and process information in real-time.

As of April 29, 2024, GoDaddy Auctions no longer allows member-to-member listings, including options like 7-day public auctions, buy now listings, and offer/counteroffer listings. So, selling your domain through GoDaddy Auctions directly wouldn't be possible.

Here are some updated options for selling your domain name affiliatemarketingai.com:

• Other Domain Marketplaces: Explore alternative platforms like Flippa, Sedo, and Afternic. These marketplaces specialize in domain sales and offer features like appraisals, listing tools, and buyer protection.
• Domain Brokers: Consider working with a domain name broker who can handle the entire sales process for you, including marketing, negotiation, and closing the deal.
• Direct Sale: Try reaching out to individuals or businesses who might be interested in the domain name. You can find potential buyers through online communities or social media groups focused on affiliate marketing or AI.
• Wait and Re-evaluate: If you're not pressed to sell immediately, you could hold onto the domain and see how the market for affiliate marketing AI tools develops. The value of the domain name might increase in the future.

I recommend researching these options and comparing their fees, features, and target audience to find the best fit for selling your domain.

prompt 4: Why didn't you mention any Internet forums such as namePros.com as an option?

Spoiler

You're right, I should have included niche online forums like NamePros.com as a potential platform for selling your domain name affiliatemarketingai.com. NamePros is a large community with a strong focus on domain investing, making it a relevant audience for your domain.

Here's why NamePros could be a good option:

• Targeted Audience: NamePros boasts a large user base of domain investors and individuals interested in buying and selling domain names. This means you're more likely to connect with potential buyers who understand the value of your domain specific to affiliate marketing and AI.
• Domain Listing Marketplace: NamePros has a dedicated marketplace for buying and selling domains. You can list your domain with a detailed description, pricing information, and pictures to attract interested buyers.
• Community Engagement: By actively participating in NamePros forums related to domain appraisals or sales, you can organically showcase your domain and potentially find interested buyers through discussions.

Here are some things to keep in mind when considering NamePros:

• Fees: NamePros might have listing fees associated with selling your domain through their marketplace.
• Reputation: It's important to build a good reputation on the forum by providing valuable insights and engaging in discussions before directly promoting your domain for sale.
• Success Rate: Selling through forums can be time-consuming and may not guarantee a quick sale.

Overall, NamePros can be a valuable tool for connecting with potential buyers in the domain investing community. For maximum reach, you might consider using a combination of platforms like NamePros alongside domain marketplaces or working with a broker.

Hmm so Gemini doesn't have a very good memory. I guess that's a sign it isn't "learning"?

 

[Samer]

Ask Gemini if they will rebrand again since they cant own Gemini.com (a crypto company)

Ask Gemini why Ai.com re-directs to their site.

Last i heard, Elon acquired Ai.com from OpenAi, i’m so confused.

Hmm so Gemini doesn't have a very good memory. I guess that's a sign it isn't "learning"?

Or learning is "sandboxed" to specific user?

@Chris Hydrick , can you restart the same sequence for another domain of yours and see if it will suggest NP for that?

That certainly isn't beyond the realms of possibly I guess. If they were storing individual information in cookie form or such like to personalise a response I'd assume privacy laws would be in play. I don't know if there's an opting in/out pop up there as there is with every other web page I visit it seems.

Learning isn't really sandboxed from prompt to prompt in Gemini. It seems to have a short term memory, unless you create a new prompt and preassign certain parameters.

When I just asked the same question, regarding a different domain, the answer didn't include "Sell the domain" rather it mentioned different development ideas. As follow ups, I asked:

Spoiler: Could I sell the domain?

Yes, you absolutely could sell the domain name <REDACTED>.com. There is a market for catchy and memorable domain names like this one.

Here's how you could go about selling it:

1. Domain Marketplaces:List your domain on popular platforms like:
   • Sedo: A large marketplace with many potential buyers.
   • Flippa: Known for auctions and sales of established websites and domains.
   • GoDaddy Auctions: A good option for beginners.
2. Domain Brokers: Consider using a broker to help you negotiate the sale and find the right buyer. They have experience and connections in the industry.
3. Direct Outreach: If you have a specific buyer in mind (e.g., a company that could benefit from the domain), you could reach out to them directly.
4. Auction: Host an auction on your own website or through a platform like eBay.

Pricing:

• Research similar domain sales to get an idea of what your domain might be worth.
• Consider using appraisal tools offered by some domain marketplaces or brokers.
• Set a realistic price that reflects the value of the domain, but also leaves room for negotiation.

Important Considerations:

• Make sure the domain is registered and in good standing.
• Prepare any relevant documents, such as ownership verification.
• Be aware of potential scams and only deal with reputable buyers and platforms.

Selling a domain can take time and effort, but with the right approach, you could potentially turn QueryMe.com into a profitable asset.

Spoiler: Could you suggest me the best domain forum to sell it on?

While traditional forums might not be the most effective way to sell a domain like <REDACTED>.com, here are some options that combine marketplace features with community interaction:

1. NamePros: This is a popular online community for domain investors and enthusiasts. They have a marketplace section where you can list your domain, and the community can provide feedback and potentially make offers.
2. Edited, Starts with DN ends with .Com: Another active community with a marketplace section. The forum members are knowledgeable about domain values and trends.
3. Flippa: While primarily known for website sales, Flippa also has a section for domain auctions. The platform has a large user base and can attract competitive bids.
4. Sedo: Sedo has a marketplace where you can list your domain for sale or auction. They also offer broker services if you prefer a more hands-off approach.
5. Afternic: Afternic is a partner of GoDaddy and provides a platform for domain sales and distribution. They have a large network of potential buyers.

Ultimately, the "best" forum depends on your specific needs and preferences. Consider these factors:

• Audience: Choose a platform where the target audience is likely to be interested in your type of domain.
• Fees: Compare the listing fees and commission structures of different platforms.
• Features: Look for platforms that offer features like domain appraisals, escrow services, and promotion options.

I'd recommend trying out a few different platforms to see which one works best for you. You can also list your domain on multiple platforms to increase visibility and potentially get a better price.

That certainly isn't beyond the realms of possibly I guess. If they were storing individual information in cookie form or such like to personalise a response I'd assume privacy laws would be in play. I don't know if there's an opting in/out pop up there as there is with every other web page I visit it seems.

I assume Google has some type of protection against users skewing Gemini answers. My guess maybe some weighted algo, with minimal weight assigned to user feedback until user feedback is validated in scale or tandem to other data sources?
