Wow. You have a lot of domain on NFC only niche.
are you sure that it will be booming ?

utomo -

Ive always heard that the easiest way to succeed in business is to own your market. Be there first and narrow your niche. So after extensive research on nfc, that is what I have attempted to do. One thing I have noticed is that a lot of this thread is about payments. Which is good cause they will come first. But they are just the beginning. They’re the vessel for consumer education and then acceptance of nfc. Once that is tackled I believe just about everything is going to be nfc enabled, even your refrigerator. (Yes I have nfcrefrigerator.com and nfcrefrigerators.com.) Some products are already emerging. For instance yesterday Nokia introduced its nfc enabled Purity HD stereo headset which will retail for $376 and sony unveiled its New MDR-1 nfc enabled Headphones. I invested in nfcheadphones.com, nearfieldheadphones.com, nfcheadset.com, nfcheadsets.com, nearfieldheadset.com and nearfieldheadsets.com a while ago. If someone doesn’t see the value in an exact match domain for a product that retails for over $300 that is ok with me. I will build an affiliate site and recoup my investment costs probably from type in traffic alone after consumers are educated and everyone owns an nfc enabled device. So whether nfc booms or not is not a concern of mine. Im thinking ten years ahead and feeling pretty confident my business is covered either way. If im wrong. Im sure I will learn some valuable lessons and just move on to my next idea.

namepros wont let me post a link cause im too new but this is a great article for anyone who is unsure about the future of nfc

Just google
"Near Field Communication & The Trough of Disillusionment"

If someone else could post the link I think it would be beneficial.

You are obviously new to this business and my advice would be to slow down with the registrations, they are going to cost you a fortune come renewal time. I can assure you; you won’t sell or even get offers on 99% of these names. I mean I have checked a lot of the creation dates and every one I checked was hand-registered in the last 2-3 months. Have you thought to yourself, why are these names available to hand-register when some people (experienced domainers included) have been registering NFC/mobile payment names for a few years now.

You have far too many names; you will sell maybe 5 or 10 if you are lucky. My advice would be to let most of them expire or sell them for reg-fee to fellow domainers if you can and use that money to invest in a handful of decent NFC names, at least then the risk the minimal and you might make a few bucks selling them in a few years time.
The important thing is quality, not quantity, and rather have a few good names than hundreds of useless names

Don’t take my comments personally, just some advice to try and save you money in the long run

Anyway, good luck with it and feel free to PM me if you want

I agree with gilescoley.

IMHO, I don't think you will win the games by doing this. unless you can buy all NFC related domain (from beginning) and almost nobody else have. and you can rule the NFC domain (and sell really high on some domain). maybe you can have chance. but look at the thread, still many domains own by other domainer. and many of them are good.

sorry just my2c.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion so no worries.

Reading back I noticed some criticism of others names on this thread as well. Which is to be expected by anyone who isn’t following nfc news and its growth reports as closely as some of us are.

I havent read the threads myself but some have said to go back and look at the “cloud” and “3d” threads for comparisons? Which I plan on doing when I get the time. But even without looking at them I probably would have never have took the same approach for either of those categories. The reason is this, There are more 3d products in the wings than I probably know about ) and please correct me if im wrong) but the only ones that come to mind are printers, Tvs, glasses, projectors, screens, phones, tablets.

To me that seems pretty limited when compared to what products nfc will potentially effect. From the information Ive gathered, NFC will be the catalyst for the long anticipated “internet of things” where everything is tracked and even your in store shopping habits will have its own set of analytics.

There is a reason I own NfcMarkOfTheBeast.com but your gonna have to dig past the headlines to figure out why.

There are only so many names with 3d in them that will perfectly describe a product+feature. The rest, like one of my latest buys NFC3D.com are obviously leaning to the brandable side.

Now cloud is huge. No argument there but can Tom who lives two houses down from me start and run a profitable site offering cloud computing services? and compete with Google or Microsoft or Apple? Probably not, Cloud is all about big data and big business. Toms best chance with a cloud name is to create a review site or informational site about cloud computing imo, if he cant convince big business that its worth acquiring from him.

So Tom has no use for a cloud name except to hold and hope. But with nfc, If my neighbor Tom wanted to buy one of my domains like NfcWriterReader.com or NfcReaderWriter.com he could use that exact match product domain name to build himself a site specializing in sales of and information about NFC Reader Writers. They currently retail for around $75. He could drop ship, hold physical inventory or just sell traffic.

Will the market be huge for nfc reader writers? I would assume so, as nfc tags need to be programmed in order to trigger information on devices and NFC Reader Writers do this. So Tom can use NfcReaderWriters.com but so could a large company as a redirect to there brandable company domain which manufactures and sells nfc reader writers. Or they could skip the brandable altogether in their domain and use NfcReaderWriters.com and leave the branding for the landing page.

Im a possibility guy. Does this way of approaching opportunities always work out for me? No. But when it does it usually works out big. NFC just makes sense to me.

Again - im too new to post links so you will have to google it but here’s an article talking with the founders of Tapit that i liked.

Nokia’s Windows Phone 8 Release Features NFC, Wireless Charging And More....

http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/380957/20120905/windows-phone-8-release-date-nokia-features.htm

Until now, the big question about using your phone as a wallet has been a simple one: Why? It’s not that hard to pull out a credit card when you want to buy something, so near-field communication (NFC), which lets you pay by tapping your phone against a sales terminal, seems superfluous. Besides, some businesses, like Starbucks, already let you pay by phone using dedicated mobile apps. As VentureBeat’s Devindra Hardawar argued this week, NFC still seems like an answer in search of a problem.

Why not just use apps instead of relying on NFC? While the way Starbucks handles mobile payments is cool, paying or using virtual loyalty cards stored inside your phone becomes impractical if every retailer starts offering its own dedicated app. Suddenly, your phone would be filled with dozens of apps, and you’d be stuck fumbling through software instead of a physical wallet to find what you need. That’s not an improvement.

The first step toward making the digital wallet better is consolidation, and that’s happening now. The next version of Apple’s iPhone software, due this fall, will have an app called Passbook that stores all your loyalty cards, tickets and coupons in a central location. Passes can be time- or location-aware, so they pop up when you might need them, and they can notify you of important updates, like gate changes for upcoming flights. Google, not surprisingly, says it wants to offer a similar service as an extension of Google Wallet.

As Isis launch nears, NFC mobile payments still feel like a pipe dream

http://venturebeat.com/2012/08/29/isis-nfc-mobile-payments-dream/

My vision for the perfect mobile payment system is a one stop shop that executes payment, stores coupons, and tracks all purchases (receipts). Eliminating the use of CCs and paper coupons/receipts is where it's at :imho:

The "Wireless Charging" feature seems to be making all the noise on the new Nokia -

Dont worry it's coming, it's called The Mark of the Beast :ghost:

Near Field Tech

I think NFC is just a temporary technical term, for replacing another technical term (RFID), and soon will be replaced by another term. :hehe:

But if you use the term 'Near Field Tech', I think it has broader meanings than just NFC.
Because the technology of 'Near Field' can be related to speakers, monitors, optics, etc. :imho:

I think in the future we will pay small bill using NFC gadget. and big ones using credit card.

the ones who handle/ coordinate the NFC payments will be :
Banks/ Mobile phone operator.
Not individual retails store have their own app. it is not working

CMIIW

Now I like use of the word tap and wallet. I think more things and companies will be named some kind of variable. Do most think that NFC is just too technical ?
The consumer will not know what NFC is and a company would want a name more memorable less technical. Opinions ?

Tap and Swipe will be the popular words in my opinion
