closed forum domains

[Jon]

just wondering if these domains have any value.

football-forum.com
sport-forums.com

i was achally planning on making sport-forums.com into a profitable site, but if the domain is worth anything i wont bother:d

cheers, Jon

Both domains are "fair" but as site and forums they rock!

altavista.com sucks.

Dont base your development on the value of a domain.

If it fits your market and is memorable enough, use it.

I meant, as a domain name, altavista.com sucks.

They developed (and promoted it) it well.

so these domains have no real value ?... only if i developed them into sites ?

welcome to the domain business

in general, assume that 99% of domains out there are valueless without development and you'll be off to a good start

 

[Jon]

good advice, thanks

The domains alone arent very good. But there is potential.

i have started devoloping sport-forums.com

thats the spirit - I think the names are really nice actually....I have fantasysportsforum.com - I think....somewhere........there is certainly a merket for sports communities, and the football one is great...cause you can make an English Football section and then an American (NFL) football section for people accross the Atlantic!

Put it another way, the domains will be 100 times
more valuable in 2 years IF the forums kick off only
with those 10,000 visitors a day, (which is very common
even for a barbeque forum). I see the layout, sport-forumS
and football-forum, only really salable as a potential
community with a few other sports and sport-forums as the
jump screen.

 

[Jon]

could anyone give me an estimate of what there worth at the moment ?

reg fee... it will take work to give these domains value.

i suggest allowing guest to view the forums
it will make them more interested to signup
as right now they cant see much

I agree. Though maybe he is still setting up the forums at the moment, and doesnt want anyone to post as of yet...?

The reason for me doing this is because at the moment there arn't alot of members.
Im sure alot of people would not join a forum that dosn't have a good member base.
