closed PayForCalls.com - New Advertising Model Google is using

[BestDomains]

Google is the newest player in the pay for calls advertising campaign. AOL has been using it for some time http://searchenginewatch.com/searchday/article.php/3499356


http://www.pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,123705,00.asp - this news just came out yesterday:

"Google has begun testing pay-per-phone-call ads, an emerging online ad model that is a twist on the popular pay-per-click ads. While pay-per-click ads link users with advertisers' Web sites, pay-per-phone call ads link users and advertisers by phone. The Kelsey Group recently forecasted that in 2009 spending on online ads of this type could reach $1.4 billion, so it's not surprising to see Google testing the model."

"Verizon SuperPages.com is giving

a Pay For Calls service on its popular local search and shopping site.
SuperPages.com made the announcement today at the Search Engine Strategies
2005 Conference & Expo here."

Hmm, maybe $100.

How much do you think payforclicks.com is worth?

Well, firstly the term generally used is "pay-per-call" or "pay-per-call" and even "PPCall" is used a lot but not the "pay for call" that you are trying to pass by. So that fact substantially reduces the value of your name. And I would appraise it for ~$50 best, likewise for payforclicks.com. These are end use prices of course. Retail they can fetch you the moon.

Good luck

Mix XX Does not seem to be a term that i would find is used much. PayParClick or PayForClicks would be worth far more than this one since it is an internet related activity. Maybe a VOIP company might use it.

loscocco,

Pay Per call is an internet activity. That's why I posted all those news in my first post. Do a search in aol for "mortgage" or something and you will see sponsored links with toll free phone numbers under them. This is where advertisers pay for calls they receive to their business and Google is testing out the system too: http://www.pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,123705,00.asp

I just think that "pay for calls" is not necessarily what an advertiser would be searching for. I have never searched "pay for click" in my life thought "pay per click", yes. Your "payforcalls.com" just is a really good fit. I have
1PayPerCall.com
PayPerCallCenter.com
PayPerCall360.com
pay-per-calls.info

I considered payforcalls as a variant, but strayed away from it. But that's just me. Still think around $50 undeveloped.

Good luck
