are the .be names worth anything ?

[nolimits]

I just got about 30 .be names registered when they had the free deal going, are these worth anything, or was it as waste of effort? I am new to all of this so any help or advice is very welcome.

[Vorty]

Yes, they can worth something or nothing... depends on what names you got.

[VisualDigits]

If you belive your names or worth nothing and have no need for them, I will gladly accept them

I have already started receiving a few click thrus on some .be domains registered on that offer although the rate is low at 3 cents per click.
Post a few names in the appraisal section and I am sure someone will comment.

I recently put some of my .be names in the appraisal section and didn't get a single reply.

Thanks DN

The replies I got were mostly, they have little or no value... One thought that the ipodgear.be might be worth something and the the sellsoftware.be might be worth developing.... I am not sure, do these domains only have any hope of reaching the Belgium users any way?

[DNGeeks]

Probably not simply due to language. That's the issue I have as well but I feel my domains have excellent keywords and I know they produce very high PPC rates. I've just gotta get some traffic to the domains.

What are some of your domains? and how will you get traffic to them?
if you don't mind me asking

[DNGeeks]

One of them is structuredsettlements.be, you can search for the post using that as the keyword to see the rest (I don't want to pollute your thread).

How will I get traffic is the question, probably link to them from some other sites that have a good PR (4+) and will cross link them all so SE's will eventually spider all of them.

I have a .be name as well, didint register many but i am going to develop a site as soon as my exams finish!

Hello,

I'm from Belgium and I can answer your question. Altough we a lot of Belgian people speak English, I think most will search in Dutch or French. I don't really know what the value could possibly be between the dutch, french or english names.
Of course if you have domains like video.be, suv.be or dvd.be you will get a lot of money for them but I wouldn't really bother buying 3 or 2 english word domains unless they are extremly popular

I once Sold a .be on sedo for $xxxx. to bad after buyer sent money to escrow i found out i owned the plural of the name and the buyer bid on the singular. The mistake was when i added the name on sedo i added the singular and for some reason sedo accepted it and it was on my account.

my luck didn't get to have that $xxxx

Dakairo is right. There are hardly any foreign-language keywords that have significant value as a .be domain name. Good dutch-language or french-language keywords however can have value, although high four figure sales are rare and to find evidence of a five figure sale is almost impossible (there have been a few).
