Any idea what this is worth to sell? No traffic or content on site, just the domain.

Thanks

Not worth registering. The dotcom would barely be worth reg fee, so the .net is actually worth less than zero since you are spending time on it. For a name to have value you usually need some form of traffic or the possibility that someone might want to turn it into a legitimate website or business.

This name gets zero traffic and I can't imagine anybody desiring to build a business around it, so it has to be worth zero.

thanks for an honest appraisal on this one, i was hoping would be worth mid-high XXX, maybe based on keywords/topic...etc

What about a content mini site? Would that help with traffic/value?

Suppose better than leaving parked/sale page.....right?

I will give you a tip that will save you a lot of money.

If you want to register a domain you need to know the value before you register it.

The reason is, the domains that are not registered are worth $0 unless you have a plan to develop. That simple.

I hope that tip is meaninful for you.

Thanks heaps for all the advice i did check Estibot (about $1100) before registering, but that is often not a reliable guide to appraising as you would know yourself...although it seems to have improved somewhat

I more so, just wanted a true domainers opinion. Its easy to grab domains on a whim

Do yourself a favor and never check Estibot again. Their appraisals are meaningless. Why are they meaningless? Because they wouldn't guarantee to buy names for even 10 percent of the appraisal. So, appraisals like that are useless.

I see lots of people touting Estibot appraisals, as well as Google Searches in their sales threads. That is pretty much a sure sign of a worthless name. If the name is strong it generally needs no sales pitch like that. If the Google searches really amounted to traffic then the person wouldn't be giving the name away for reg fee.

Do you really think this name is worth anything? Imagine talking to a girl and telling her you are a domainer. Are you comfortable telling her that you just registered EffectiveAdvertising.net? It doesn't help the cause, I wouldn't think.

Stick to basic stuff before you go out registering names on your own. I bought a bunch of names the last few months on this forum. Below are some of the ones I picked up.

NantucketAttorney.com
ElectSarah.com
MadridConsulting.com
ArmyTalk.com

These are just a few of the names I picked up. They all make sense, and they all have the potential for nice sales at some point. I never once asked about traffic, or Estibot appraisals, or anything. There is a universe of buyers for each name, and that is obvious the moment you see these names.

[tigereye1]

yeah, you do make a couple of good points here

all good advice. thanks for taking the time to reply to post, i'll narrow my selections next registration, and keep watching the forum movements

Incidentally, how much did you pay for ArmyTalk.com? If you don't mind me asking....?
