I registered it a few hours ago...

I am not American but the domain sounds like a good name for a newspaper news site for me...

Any appraisals for it please?

Thank you all in advance for helping a newbie like myself

Bad way to go about it. Your post suggests that you didn't put much thought into this. Who would want to buy this name? Newspapers all already have names which they are busy branding. Newspapers in Georgia (and everywhere else) are keenly interested in visitors knowing and remembering the names of their branded sites. And since newspapers start off with an established readership that already knows the name they're not likely to be interested in something like 'Daily Georgia.' There are other things wrong with it as well, but since you didn't seem to put much thought into the reg, I doubt if anyone will put much thought into an appraisal.

I did not say that an already established newspaper would want to buy it..

Perhaps i did not express it as i wanted to...

What i really meant was that this could be a nice domain for a site with news about Georgia, a site like an online newspaper about Georgia or something revelant to Georgia town...

I would like you to tell me what other things are wrong about it as you said and well i'd like a valuation of the domain name too even if you estimate it 5 bucks...

Thanks and sorry if i was misunderstood...


I am looking forward to hearing more appraisals from different people...

the fundamental problem is that there's no reason for anyone to buy this name. the keywords won't get type-in traffic and nobody enters "daily georgia" into a search engine. so there's no inherent value. there's no advantage in a site owner having 'daily georgia' over some other available name.

on a lark, i just spent two or three minutes checking on 30 random possible names for a georgia news site. 10 of the 30 names were available to register:

DAILYGEORGIAN.COM
GEORGIAOBSERVED.COM
GEORGIACURRENTS.COM
GEORGIAINSIGHT.COM
SPOTLIGHTGEORGIA.COM
GEORGIABANNER.COM
GEORGIANEWSSITE.COM
GEORGIAPICAYUNE.COM
GEORGIASTALKING.COM
GEORGIANEWSFLASH.COM

some of these are worse than 'daily georgia' but several of these roll more smoothly off the tongue.

if i were starting a georgia news site, i'd register one of these before i paid you big bucks for your name.

hope that helps.
