I thought I would run a few of my domains that I have for sale through AI to get the best ways of monetising them, as a thought to sell the domains with sites.

It seemed to give me some reasonable details of what to do with them, but out of the 7 domains I entered, the domain I thought would be towards the bottom of the list was at the top and what I perceived to be my most valuable domain was at the bottom.

I know that this will be because it was catering towards general markets where domains that could potentially cover adult content may be considerably more valuable if used in that market.

Has anyone had any similar experiences as the AI deems one of the names not good for making money 'legitimately', which I thought was a bit harsh, especially as I believe the opposite.

It may be the case that I just need to prompt it better, as this was just a general prompt.

Is AI restricted in what it can say or does it need to be prompted a different way?

For reference, I was using Gemini Pro and this was the feedback:

The prompt was: please look at the attached screen shot which has the names of domains I hold. Can you please analyse them and suggest the best names in order to create a site and monetize please.

The names were already up for sale at these prices, and it has pulled the sale price over as it was taken from my Sedo account.. This question is just about what AI process of what it considers for monetization.

Domain Portfolio Analysis and Monetization Suggestions​



Based on the domain names you provided, I've analyzed the potential for each. Here is a breakdown of the best options for creating and monetizing a website, in order of potential.




1. dogrescuemission.com (495 GBP)



This domain has a very strong, clear purpose and a large, passionate audience.

  • Monetization potential: High. You could create a platform that connects dog rescue organizations with people looking to adopt, offering a premium service for shelters to list their dogs. You could also run a blog with affiliate links for dog products, sell your own merchandise (e.g., t-shirts, mugs), and accept donations.
  • Business model: A non-profit or social enterprise model focused on facilitating dog adoptions, supported by donations and e-commerce.



2. ecofriendlymotors.com (695 GBP)



This name aligns with a rapidly growing and highly profitable industry: sustainable transportation.

  • Monetization potential: High. You could create a blog or news site about electric vehicles (EVs), hybrids, and other green transportation. Monetization could come from affiliate links for charging stations and accessories, advertising from car manufacturers, and partnerships with eco-friendly businesses. You could also offer a directory of eco-friendly vehicle repair shops or dealerships.
  • Business model: An informational or review-based site, monetized through advertising and affiliate marketing.



3. soloexpat.com (4,999 GBP)



This domain targets a specific and growing niche of people who have moved abroad on their own.

  • Monetization potential: Medium to High. You could build a community forum, blog, or resource hub with guides on moving to different countries, finding housing, and navigating social life as a solo traveler. You can monetize through affiliate links for travel insurance, banking services, and online learning platforms. You could also sell digital products like e-books or checklists for moving abroad.
  • Business model: A content-based community site with affiliate marketing and digital product sales.



4. myfirstsalesfunnel.com (495 GBP)



This domain targets a professional and business-focused audience, but it's more specific and potentially has a smaller audience than the others.

  • Monetization potential: Medium. You could create a blog or video course that teaches people how to build their first sales funnel. Monetization would come from selling your own digital courses, e-books, and offering consulting services. You could also use affiliate links for software tools like ClickFunnels or Leadpages.
  • Business model: An educational platform focused on online marketing, monetized through courses and consulting.



5. freetrialsite.com (575 GBP)



This domain has potential, but it is broad and faces significant competition from other review sites.

  • Monetization potential: Medium. You could create a site that aggregates free trials for various software, products, and services. You can earn commissions through affiliate partnerships with the companies you feature. The main challenge is standing out from the crowd and providing unique value.
  • Business model: An affiliate-based review or directory site.



6. networknorth.org (795 GBP)



This domain is too specific to a UK-based government initiative or think tank (Network North) to be easily monetized for a general audience.

  • Monetization potential: Low. The .org extension and the specific name networknorth would make it difficult to pivot to a different topic without confusing visitors. It would be most suitable for a non-profit or community-based organization in Northern England, but monetizing it would be very challenging.



7. officially18.com (9,499 GBP)



This domain name is the most expensive and likely has the lowest potential for legitimate business. The name suggests an adult-themed site, which can be difficult to monetize through mainstream advertising and affiliate programs. The high price likely reflects its value in the adult entertainment industry, which comes with its own set of challenges and limitations.

  • Monetization potential: Low for a mainstream audience. High for adult-themed content, but this comes with significant risks and limited monetization options from reputable partners.
  • Business model: Not recommended for a mainstream, monetized site.
