Howdy!
I was wondering whether anyone has experience buying/developing other extensions of the same domain for the sole reason of making the main domain seem more valuable.
Example:
Owning enorm.com, .net and .org
Goal: Selling the .org at as much profit as possible.
Strategy: Making enorm.com look like the homepage of a major company, setting up a redirect on the .net so that it redirects to the .com, and make the whois of both look similar. Then eventually acquiring the .co and listing it outrageously overpriced.
Outcome: The .org will, in theory, obviously seem much more valuable (best case scenario the .org gets sold to someone who will make a huge project out of it, and then use that in order to increase the value of the remaining .com and .net), and I am wondering how to determine whether it is worth doing something like that and how much to invest.
Looking forward to your inputs/opinions/experiences about this, ethical concerns are also welcome!
