Wanted: Domain Appraisal exploreAndLearn.com / exploreAndLearn.co.uk

[chuckylefrek]

Would appreciate an appraisal of the following domain

exploreAndLearn.com / co.uk

Just wondered if it is worth trying to sell or is it another classic "not worth the reg fees"

 

[accelerator]

This is a great name for a children's education and learning site. It's descriptive and brandable. I personally feel it definitely is worth the reg fee. I am sure that some children's sites get excellent traffic levels. One that I have visited with my nephew is UpToTen.com.

I think you could make a reasonable sale on this name but you would have to find websites similar to UpToTen.com and pitch it to them.

You might also find relevant companies to approach by looking at the electronic learning page of Toys R Us:

Hey thanks Accelerator

I had planned to develop a site using the name that was learning games etc but just don't seem to have enough time to carry out all my plans

Thanks for the links - I may have to research how to pitch a domain name to a company like this.

Rather than starting a new thread on a similar topic, how about the following domains?

earlylearningland.com / earlylearningland.co.uk
learningland.co.uk
myfirstclick.com

I registered these with a similar learning site in mind

 

[accelerator]

earlylearningland.com / earlylearningland.co.uk - This is getting a bit on the long side for the domain sale value, but still an appropriate name for a site.

learningland.co.uk - Great name for an education site. I have the feeling though that these are quite difficult to monetise. The traffic is there but it's not high value traffic. Take a look at the Bob the Builder site and you'll see how they're running ads.

myfirstclick.com - This is a good name in my opinion, it's very brandable, you just have to find the right buyer. If developing a site, you'd have the same type of monetisation challenges, i.e. you could get high traffic, but not necessarily high value traffic.

Thanks accelerator for the positive feedback on the domain names. I agree that it would be difficult to monetarise a site like this and a subscription based service may be the best option.

Selling the domain to a larger company may be my best option but I suspect this is easier said than done. After my last experience of selling a domain on sedo I think I will hold off putting these domains to auction there.

Cheers
