Above.com Marketplace (1 Viewing)

I got this email from Above.com yesterday and saw these .CAs below being promoted/brokered. You don't see this everyday, or at least I don't.

There is one prominent .ca domainer who uses their for sale landers. They are actually quite nice. His name is failing me right now but I believe he sold ar.ca not too long ago.

I get these emails because I signed up with them in mid-2019, after hearing some hype about it, but I never actually tried them out.

I guess it's not uncommon for them to promote brokered .CAs in their emails, but I don't remember any other marketplaces promote .CAs this way. Here are a few other examples I found in my emails, from 2019. I'm sure there were more emails in 2020 but I deleted them:

Has anyone tried them out? If so, what are your thoughts?

If I remember correctly, they are known for being successful at earning revenue with parking ads... although I thought that era was over. I know it's not totally over, but nothing like before from what I understand.

Some ambitious pricing in their marketplace

The registrar seems simple and nice, but I never had enough domains there to really test it. I did use their parking optimization for a while when parking still made money for me, it worked well at that time. Due to the company Trellian being behind it and them having their own advertising network, it always seems to me that they focus on traffic domains. I never sold or bought on their marketplace.
