[QUOTE="greg2013, post: 2255409, member: 322630289"] When buying, you always have to ask yourself what would such names be used for, and by whom? The only thing I can think of for something like "IraqAttack.com" would be a news site reporting things happening, or data collection site. And even then I think the major news sites win out as there is more going on than just Iraq etc. Also, importantly, even "someone wanting to do a new site about Iraq", think how many people in the world that would be (0 to 20 at best), and how you would find them or they find you (very unlikely). They'd just hand register another domain. I see no other use, and end users is low, consider "BuyShoes.com" the end user potential is people selling shoes, shops, retailers etc, however "IraqAttack.com" end users, those planning the attacks (urgh), are not going to commercially buy a name which has keywords advertising the fact. It would be something underground, or like lksdfjh34809ndsklfsdfd.com that no-one would find. I see $0 value in this, sorry. Don't register names [I]solely [/I]based on keywords which sound good or are popular, such names are often valuable but [I]also[/I] often popular words are [I]not necessarily[/I] sought after in a name. The domain name market is not that black and white, with timing, niches, global events all having an effect on the value of a domain name and its keywords. Register names which have high potential end user possibility and where possible a big potential end user market. Again, think about who would want to own and use this name and why. Then you realise that even though you have popular keywords/phrase and something in the media, it's not worth anything to anyone. All the best :) [/QUOTE]
