Wanted: Domain Appraisal Please appraise kid.co.uk and kids.co.uk

[Edwin]

I own kid.co.uk/kids.co.uk and was curious to see what the consensus was.

Bit of background...
A) These were NOT regfee domains, not by a long way (and no, I am not going to say what I paid for them)

B) Kids.co.uk gets between 1800 and 2000 uniques a month. Kid.co.uk doesn't get so much, perhaps 100-200 a month.

C) I would only ever sell them as a pair, so please think along those lines when appraising them.

Both brilliant Edwin, you know they are - you don't need your domains appraising.

I've been stiffed recently by this pluralisation thing tho'

The advice on this and other forums is to stay away from plurals - and it's b***ocks, this kid and kids thing just proves it.

I regged quarrytile.co.uk and it gets nothing and insectbites.co.uk which has already paid for itself in 2 days.

Plurals rock - gimme a S

2 examples isn't a trend, but maps.co.uk gets more traffic than map.co.uk (though not by a kids/kid ratio - more like 1.2:1) so I concur that automatically shying away from plurals is a bad move!

No help in appraising and probably should be a new thread, but plurals work where they work. If you're going to sell one map, map.co.uk selling many maps, maps.co.uk it's the way people think. If you're a company that deals with mapping in any function, business, dna or orientation, mapping.co.uk would be better. But then map.co.uk being three letters and company initials and having a double meaning works equally well.

I have accountmanagers.co.uk which I feel is better than accountmanager.co.uk as usual personal view decides but end user brings forth a result. As for kids.co.uk it has massive potential for branding and if the UK ever went the way of America and installing kids.uk as a domain for children, kids.co.uk would be great in selling the domain extension.

yeah would be really good for goat herders and breeders! didn't realise they were that popular. Perhaps a little forum on how to bring up your baby goat

edwin - nice one
