Wanted: Domain Appraisal Living-Room-Ideas.co.uk

[mspesti]

Hi!

This is my last try If this doesn't worth anything i guess i won't post anymore appraisals. I know i annoyed a few people with my crap domains...but i guess that's how i learn.

livingroom-ideas.co.uk and living-room-ideas.co.uk

It has 12000 exact local (3000 more than "living room furniture").

Sorry if i made anyone angry...it wasn't in my intension.

And thanks for the advices.

I'm not so good at domains but even I can see it's pretty rubbish.

Think about what purpose it could fill, or despite what exacts you might think it has, who relaistically would search for that?

Plus it's hyphenated, which is the kiss of death as far as domainers are concerned.

Sorry pal.

Well i guess people who don't know what furniture they should buy in their living room. So they get ideas and buy them. Who search for that i can't exactly name them but there a 140.000 of them a year in the UK.
That's what google says anyway...
On the hyphen part i guess it's better without it but i see many domains rank high with it. It's hard to market it but i thought you get some traffic from google and with that many people it can still make some sales.
Also everything is registered with a hyphen too and i've seen many big sales so there must be a reason...

But anyway...thanks

Sometimes hyphens can make a domain name more legible, for instance if it separates 2 or 3 'L's, 'I''s but that isnt the case here.
Are you planning to develop a website or sell the domain name? You may find selling it on difficult unless someone else has the .com, .net, or .org already.
Don't worry about upsetting others, its your money after all not theirs.

It may have had value pre that pesky EMD update last week. I would think about developing it. Furniture is expensive so maybe you can create a nice blog around living room ideas and sell as an aff? I've certainly heard worse development ideas!

I wish one of my domain would worth something without developing it

It's not even the money...just the fact that i found one for £5 and sold for £xxx

One day

Thanks for the advice

Exact match domains got hit by Google mate so their value has reduced significantly. Hyphenated emds especially.

...... There's nothing stopping you from sending some emails out to end users though to see if you get a bite!

Thats good advice from Marcoose. There is a thread here from Federer where he explains how he does exactly this, approaching end users, and with an enviable success rate.

You should think about picking up a few nice names in the fixed price/ bargain section section on here. Sure theres a lot of junk we all try to offload but there are usually a few nice ones listed weekly.
I can think of at least 5 or 6 I've picked up on here between £10 - £100 and been able to flip them for low to mid xxx of cause its not going to be a quick flip if this is your only market place but it can be done.
Also as suggested earlier Federer post shows what can be done with the right motivation

It is hard to find good unregistered names especially as a month ago “G” moved the goal post diminishing the SEO advantages emd’s had previously.

The proposed new .UK cctld meaning large numbers of non hyphenated catchy emd’s, Brandable, generics etc up for grabs, from a purely selfish domaining point of view no new regs are worth doing , That’s not to say an uniformed end user might not have one? But to flip to a domainer very unlikely. You have an advantage to learn as much as you can though before the new, UK comes about and register yourself some real gems and hopefully some ££££ then though,,,

Thanks a lot guys. All of you were very helpful.
I know that buying a good domain is just only the beginning for creating a great website. I'm creating mine for over 10 months now...and i just making a brand new version again which will take me another 6 months.
But this domain business is so exciting.
I just need to get good at it...
