i searched and found tens of available one word dictionary .com domains

most of them are 0 OVT little have 20 or 30 OVT W/O

and range 100 to 30,000 google results for each word

is it worth to register them and try to resell for 100 $ may be

examples :

doggier.com
unmotorized.com
picturized.com

are these examples look nice or they are worthless

or it is not advisable to register names with 0 OVT

all thoughts are welcomed!
 
I don't think OVT necessarily means everything. A name can have 0 OVT and still have traffic, value etc. Generic names (such as dictionary names are the perfect example) however just because it is a dictionary name, doesn't mean anything either. This is where judgement and the particular domain in question comes in.

Stop by the appraisal section, you'll see a lot of generic names which have $xxx to $x,xxx+ value to the right buyer, with 0 OVT.
 
It depends solely on the name in question. None of the examples you show are worth registering.
 
the assumptions that dictionary names have automatic value is misleading. Of course, it does depend on the name itself. But the concept itself, I had first seen on ebay. in the lines like ".COM DICTIONARY WORD, HURRY!!!"
all the good ones are gone.
I wouldnt reg a dictionary name just for the sake of it being a dictionary name, unless I planned to sell to a newbie on ebay.
Of course, that doesnt mean you cant make money from them, its just tricky with names that arent used that much.
 
I agree. A name being a one word dictionary term doesn't automatically assign it value.
