Baked.com - more valuable for something else?

**Domagon** · 10-08-2006, 07:14 PM

Baked.com is currently a partly developed website that gets around 100 uniques visitors per day.

The message board officially opened back in February (it was originally linked from cannabis.com which I sold for mid/high $xxx,xxx in May), but is now stagnating; even if the board was doing better, the current use may be all wrong for the Baked.com domain...

What I mean is that baked.com may be more useful and worthwhile as a food related site...

Welcome thoughts as to what Baked.com may be more worthwhile as?

And of course, welcome thoughts on Baked.com domain value?

Thanks!

I don't really get it.
What's your current site theme?

Is it Baked Brain? :-D

As you said, I think your domain fits much better with cooking and/or food related site.

I'm thinking Duncan Hines
& Betty Crocker all the way.
Even Martha Stewart...
Think Positive...

That site looks like a candy factory!!! Yeah I was thinking baking too,right in the cookies!!

Based on the feedback, which by the way, is way more than I expected - I had a gut feeling the current use wasn't right, but now I certainly know for sure...

I'm going to shut the baked.com website / message board down shortly and put up a placeholder webpage with a slightly revised Baked logo sans the leaf part until I determine more specifically how to proceed; a new owner likely wouldn't use the, soon to be revised, logo, but it gives a perspective owner some ideas / reassurance they are buying the "right" domain for their needs.

Thanks again - and please keep the comments coming - they're greatly appreciated!

An interesting domain like this appears on the board after days of wandering the sun-baked desert of mostly dull domains and dry domain remains.

Yes, anything besides the obvious for this one is really half-baked. :greenlaugh:

Check out these Ovt's for baked, partial list. The #1 spot is truly ironic:

15422 half baked
8889 baked chicken recipe
8013 baked potato
7337 honey baked ham
6076 baked chicken
4754 baked bean recipe
4545 baked bean
4419 baked ziti
4026 baked goods
3955 baked ziti recipe
3754 baked salmon recipe
3118 twice baked potato
2881 baked potato recipe
2867 baked pork chop
2545 baked

In speaking with someone about certain snack-sized bags of potato chips recently (well before this thread), it seems that "baked" might be hot. Perhaps the big snack food companies with chip lines would be interested.

Hard to appraise, but I'd say low $xx,xxx to $xxx,xxx (potential).

One things for sure Ron, its worth a lot more than you paid WebMagic! LOFL!!!

Yeah, I had my eye on it too. I might still be interested, why dont you PM me and we can talk about it. Glad for you on your cannabis.com sale btw.

Food baked items would be the best way to go for obvious reasons. However baked is a very well known reference to being high. You may be able to go somewhere in that direction. You would be much safer with the cakes and pies.
