Default Hi Mike Fabulous here!

Just found out about this forum and thought I would join. I work for Fabulous.com. For those that don't know we are a domain registrar, monetization program and aftermarket domain solution, and we are based out in Brisbane, Australia.

I have been with the company nearly 6 years now and my current position is Business Development Manager.

Whilst we are not a .com.au registrar, we are very interested in the space and look forward to being involved in the discussions here.

Cheers,

Mike

Hi Giles,

If you are ever over this way, feel free to drop into the office. This is also an open invitation for any others that are in the neighborhood.

We are happy to monetize adult domains as long as they are not illegal or questionable in nature. Numeric domains probably won't perform well on our program, also names that primarily have International traffic.

You will find that some parking companies do well for certain types of domains, and others do better for other names. We have found that we do well with English language domains that consist of commercial terms/phrases which receive type-in/direct navigation traffic.

There are a number of metrics we take into consideration when reviewing portfolios. Two very important factors are whether or not the phrase/term the domain name consists of has a search count and/or paid advertisers in the major PPC search engines, Google/Overture.

Domains that have good scores for both of these metrics mentioned will typically perform well on our program.

Let me know if there are any other questions.

Cheers,

Mike
