Wanted: Domain Appraisal What are .uk.com domains worth?

stenning · Feb 23, 2009

I have pokeronline.uk.com and wondered what it could or would be worth?

Thoughts appreciated, anyone sold a .uk.com domain?

Term poker online gets 368,000 broad match searches per month UK ONLY.

Thanks

I don't think they're worth anything since they are a subdomain & don't seem to be liked by Google.

I could be wrong but I think it's worth somewhere between £0 & reg fee, although I think it might struggle to get as high as reg fee

PS - I have a .uk.com as well

As a domain only probably not a lot. Develop it, market it offline get visitors, traffic and sign ups (preferably type-in, bookmarked etc... ) and then you can start charging for it.

I can see a time where other domain extensions start becoming popular, I'm surpirsed .tv extension are not snapped up more than they are as I feel these have great branding potential.

Over our big shopping centre some companies have .me.uk domains plastered across their shops because they can't get the .co.uk or .com - I personally don't like these at all for a business but as .co.uk and .com become more sparse (and the idiots on Sedo wanting thousands for their domains not worth more than £50 - damn those sods

) i think lots of TLDs could have their place.

search hotels uk on google and you will see that they must have a value.

That's quite amazing.

It's possibly more to do with the 178K pages & 94K backlinks than the .uk.com

Regardless, it still ranks #1 as a .uk.com which I think was the crux of the question.

Just pointing out that its an exception rather than the rule and isn't down to the .uk.com, but rather that site is no1 because of the amount of effort that's been put into it.

I think you'd rank no1 in most niches if you had that number of pages & links no matter what you had, it doesn't say anything about .uk.coms per se & doesn't indicate that they're actually any good search engine wise or worth any money unless you are similarly dedicated - which I think most of us wouldn't be.
