Hmm... I need to find out myself. I don't know what is the answer. I'll do some Googling and get back to you if I bump into an decent answer. You should email the people at Godaddy as they probably can answer it..

I buy any french/Quebec HostGator that I could develop now or in the future. I rarely sell them...

I tend to go mostly with location & tourist related names - real estate - property - hotels - I have got others ie - phone/mobile related - language related - transport - loans - bmx bikes - whisky etc.

Have'nt really got in to any tech type domains yet but always looking..

Dubai related domains, hoping them to get some value in the future, and slowly developing one-by-one to get some benefit already...

I hoard 3G domains personally. But I have extensive knowledge in the casino/poker market. Thus, I rarely buy in this area as most names not in use are just a total unbrandable waste of money and in this very competitive sector, branding is everything...

It must be you buying them all - there's another 30 for sale at GoDaddy since christmas and.

LOL - well, maybe a few were..

Same as Sarcle.com.

I like IDN too....

And [ 报纸.cn ] is really a nice IDN..

I specialise in quality subdomains like insurance.web.com loan.web.com sex.web.com hotel.web.com travel.web.com....

Ha Ha..

Hey Quality - You'll set Badger off again -.

I've got a few now as well that are getting lots of views - time will tell.

(if you won't.

)..

I like buying Japanese word domains. Not IDNs, but just the romaji versions...

I am not a pro in this field but out of 20 domains I own, I have a variety from blogs, HostGator names, directory names, forums and hosting related domains. I try to cover the entire range of topics, most of the times, it comes out of idea that I want to develop...

Development and brandable names aswell as names with backlinks...

I always try to buy with a plan and rarely buy anything I wouldn't want to develop if I have the time.. as such, I don't specialize, I just don't buy what I don't need...

Law.

.us.

Humor.

And I still think that an extension can be a "niche", especially if it's not .com.
