GroupPages.com | Need appraisal

[fpnet]

Hi,

Looking for an appraisal for GroupPages.com and any suggestions on developing the name.

Also, I appreciate any advice on where to best sell the domain. I used sedo twice, but I got hosed when I used their auction option to increase the asking price. No one bid on the domain so I had to let the domain go for much less than expected.

Regards,
Franc

Hi Carlito,

Thanks for the info. I submitted the domain to Snapnames iDate auction. Hopefully the name will be accepted.

Hi Carlito,

I had 2 quick questions regarding the domain appraisal.

1. I want to sell Grouppages.com, Grouppages.net and the Twitter account Grouppages together. How much do you think I can get for the bundle of names?
2. Where do you recommend I sell the domain? I tried to list them on sedo but they did not accept the application. I have several (50+) domains that I would like to sell.

Thanks in advance for all your help.

Carlito tends to appraise generously. While I see some value here, it wouldn't rate 4 figures in all likelihood. You might try a lower end platform like Bido.com, Flippa or Boxcar if you want to sell as a package. I don't think you will find much interest for this name(s) at the higher end auctions.

It's a nice name. Brandable, very unlikely to be misspelled, no plural/singular confusion on that particular word, and "group" is always a good thing. It encourages collaboration, which then encourages traffic, which encourages ad revenue!

However, it doesn't pass what I call the "conversation test"

"Oh, I found that on Grouppages."
"Are you on Grouppages?"
"So, I was on Grouppages the other day..."

It's one of those cases where it's just too generic to brand to any particular purpose.

If I were you, I'd list it on sedo or Flippa and hope for the best. Otherwise, renew it for 10 years, put up a basic logo, SEO it a little bit, and create a homepage indicating your interest to sell.

It's not worth dropping. It's a good name. But it will take a real innovator to be able to take it past the parked page point.

Keep your domain,I will start my big platform project a next month.
I work on with 3 webmaster since 60 days and am very happy about the first result.
Try to find a landing keyword and title keyword and under keyword.
1 step for you is look at dictionary word you have to start there if you want find the true keyword.

I think you guys are right and I should develop a website to increase the value of the domain name and indicate it's up for sale.

Thanks for the feedback,
