PALM BEACH, FL – .net domains, what probably should be the number two domain name extension right after .org for organizations, seem not too attractive these days. Being the -owner of a couple of good .net domains, I like to check in on them occasionally and see what people are doing with them. Unfortunately, Estibot appraisals on .net domains have not seemed to change over the last five or so years; I’m still seeing the same numbers.
I also wanted to look at the top “.net” domain sales “use” according to records kept by NameBio.com and see how and if these names are being actually being used or benefiting related businesses in some way.
The top public listed .net domain sales where:
As you can see, 80% of the top sales are for names not being used or moonlighting for pointless websites. $2,977,000 million spent on .net domains going to waste for the time being which will probably result in losses when they eventually trade hands at another time.
 If you check their “.com” equivalents, its the exact opposite, 80% bonafide use, 20% dead.  
I don’t think I really need to opine on these results, they sort of speak for themselves.

When it comes to .net only one word dictionary are valuable.

I would add that they also need to represent something of some commercial value; they should represent a business need or desirable product.
awesome, pleasant, neutral (no good)
Shows, shoes, phones, movies (good)

According to the #’s, .net is the second most popular gTLD after .com; .org is third.
says
Take a look at this:

Okay, I already knew I was right. It’s the #2 gTLD. The two between .com and .net are only ccTLDs. And .org is 5th there. I suspect there will always be more .net registrations than .org. You wrote this, however: “.net domains, what probably should be the number two domain name extension right after .org for organizations.”
says
Correction: .org is #6 there. As indicated already, it is #3 for gTLDs.
says
I think before the new gtlds release, .net was clearly number 2…. Now, with all the new crap domains out there, it is just more crap on top of crap. – .com = king. – crap = crap.
says
You seem to just be unduly biased. .Net simply “was clearly number 2” and clearly and unequivocally still is number 2. No “new gTLD” even compares to .net, not even the much older ones like .info and .biz. It is the only other truly established gTLD next to .com. Even .org still contains a strong tinge of “non-profit org” connotation and regional national-centrism despite being only the third also genuinely established gTLD.
