Guys,
Maybe I'm missing the point of the original post. After all, I'm new here and just learning about traffic, so I'm certainly not an expert in that area. But sometimes money can be made in registering domains that might have marketing/branding value to them even if others think they are "stupid." As examples, since joining the game in '99 I have sold at least a dozen domains to endusers without any regard to traffic. These include acne free dot com, new developments dot com, i skills dot com, report it dot com, the rooms dot com, etc. The first one I mentioned is particularly significant. When I registered it, I thought it might make a great name for an acne related product or service. Few that I spoke to about it agreed and at one time it was listed on eBay for a couple of hundred bucks and didn't sell. I guess no one thought it had value. But a small cosmetic company did when they subsequently branded a product with that very same name and bought it off me later in the high X,XXX range. Now maybe things are different these days, but if I think something is catchy and cool, I'll buy it. That doesn't mean I don't make mistakes or regret buying many of them. But from a strictly marketing standpoint, a lot of names without any traffic whatsoever have potential. So who am I to judge? If I don't like a domain listed in the forum, I don't appraise it. It's that simple.
