I did look at ground.pro when I regged pile.pro and nearly regged that one. I think that it is good for a geotechnical engineering practice.

no ideas???(((

Only one thing stopped me to reg it when it was free - spell it in Russian and you will understand me

But from other points - it's a good domain.

On paper, it's good but I can only find 1 domain sale with the keyword in, PatientAdvocacy.com at $2,000. There are no bids on Sedo for the single keyword but 4 for InternetAdvocacy.com. It seems to crop up in URL's alot but if you put it into Google, alot of those sites are not for profit public bodies. They still buy domains though and I like the fit with .pro.

For example, I heard the owner of Debt.com was open to offers in the $1m-$2m range a couple of years ago. The owner of eDebt.com told me he turned down an offer of $30,000 in 2006. eDebt.mobi sold for $95 in Feb 07.

Worst case scenario you might be looking at $50-$100 for iSEO.pro when there are niche generic .pro keywords still unregged that could sell for $XXXX+ to the right industry buyer. If you are regging iSEO.pro for your own use that doesn't matter, I picked up domains like Mango.pro and Indigo.pro purely for "ring to it" own use with web design in mind.

However, with something like Patient.pro I'm covering both development and resale angles. I wouldn't be able to sell it wholesale because it's not a domaining keyword but it could be worth alot of money to a healthcare company. The owner of Patient.org wants $400,000 for it and in my mind the .pro sounds alot more commercial and profit oriented.

I think Dairy.pro is a similar industry keyword that you wouldn't be able to sell to another domainer but could be worth alot of money to the right buyer and the $12,500 sale of the .co.uk proves that.

I audited a company that toughened or "ruggedised" laptops for outdoor use. It's a big business, not just with laptops but with any professional equipment used in harsh environments. I think Tough.pro would be a brilliant name for a company working in this industry but you'd have to direct market it to them.

Accessory.pro is probably the strongest name in the list. Not an obvious domaining keyword but a logical fit and flexible. I regged Uniform.pro in 07 for similar reasons. I like Stay.pro, very short, flexible, and brandable. I regged Switch.pro and Move.pro along similar lines last year.

Thanks for your valuable input. I was leaning towards iSEO as well... I wonder if netsol will allow me a refund for that!

Tough.pro in my opinion is great for ruggedised equipment as well as some aspects of the construction industry.

What do you think about Therapeutic.pro? Does it have any legs on it from a professional massage/therapy perspective? Its hard to spell!

Yes, it's very hard to spell, but if you develop it - it will be have more value.

True, any domain that gets developed has more value, IMO.

Mr. Campbell, twas not my intention to imply that marriage is a keyword match for wedding. The two hold inapposite values. As noted previously, I am the happy proprietor of wedding.pro. But while I would, indeed, crown wedding.pro belle of the ball, homecoming queen, and most likely to succeed, it does not follow that I've no reason to sneak a look at Marriage.pro. She is quite vivacious in breadth, and not one to be tossed casually from any portfolio, not even the likes of yours. Most kidding aside, domainscore.com is one of my favorite tools to draw relative determination values. Prior to reading this thread, I had not given much thought about/of the term, marriage. But this is how the term scored against a list like keywords: bride.pro-479; bridal.pro-489; weddings.pro-493; wedding.pro-525; and last, but not least, marriage.pro-499. No doubt, a surprise to mine eyes, and yet reflective of but one tool in an average domainer's arsonnel. In sum, I'd wed wedding.pro, bed bridal.pro, and retain marriage.pro as friend and close advisor... (Cheers and apologies all around!)

Its pretty good man. Diploma.ca sold for $17,999, .PRO is much better extension than that. I am not sure if a uni or school would want that but it could serve as a gateway to multiple universities and training schools as a referral business. I don't know it may have other applications.

Thank you very much for your comment.

akcampbell · 10-27-2008, 03:57 PM

That's an interesting web site, you have to really go some to get a .pro over 500. I see you have several .pros over 600 which isn't far short of the perfect .pro score of 619 for Sex.pro. My favourite .pros Mobile.pro and Quote.pro only scored 492 and 473 respectively whereas Girls.pro and Girl.pro scored 537 and 536, both hand regged within the last few months. My highest scoring domain is Coupons.info at 567. I noticed Sex.com got 999 as opposed to 1,000.

I have a convoluted method of benchmarking my .pros against eachother, it's geared towards goodness of fit and keyword popularity rather than outright value. For example, Diamond.com sold for more than Guide.com ever would but I would pick Guide.pro ahead of Diamond.pro because URL's with "Guide.com" in are indexed 4.4m times by Google versus only 69,000 for "Diamond.com". With alternative extensions, I think keyword popularity, site developability, and fit contribute relatively more to value than raw keyword scores. If I could hand reg .pro from scratch, I'd still reg all the big gun keywords in your signature first but without that option, I had to approach .pro from a different angle.

Diploma.pro is excellent, I nearly regged that in 2007. I really like education and professional development related .pros, I have Training.pro, Student.pro, Graduate.pro, Course.pro, Tutor.pro, Learn.pro, and Teach.pro. I regged two .pros tonight; Spread.pro for spread betting and Cheque.pro for cheque cashing, money transfers, and payday loans.

akcampbell · 10-28-2008, 12:18 AM

I had another idea this morning. Superstore.pro. There are 1m Google indexed sites that end in Superstore.com.

MasterGuru · 10-28-2008, 01:59 AM

Also comes another idea to me too

doing.pro
It can be used for various projects.
We are professionals. We are DOING .PRO!

If neither com, net, org, info, nor biz were available in the author's preferred tense, would he opt to forgo the project? I'd Go PRO, if reasonably practicable. Any other thoughts?

AndyR · 10-28-2008, 01:39 PM

I like pro, but not for a portfolio, pro should be developed and I support the idea of the restrictions (however hard to work in practice). It is a good extension for your work and will look great on a business card. I will continue to buy pro in a niche market which I understand and in which I have many contacts who may wish to advertise. As an investment for resale, I am more doubtful.

Ben42 · 10-28-2008, 01:41 PM

Yeah, the author is short-sighted IMO. Probably never heard of .pro.

Anyone want to trade .pro's? I'm looking for something I'd like to develop. A local GEO would be good (Chicago Area), but also interest in the stock market, music, photography.

Here is what I have available for trade: Bass.pro, Condos.pro, Ethanol.pro

Best new reg on this page - Great (in)vision! And a piece of cake to develop or sell. You can make this a profitable site your first year, even if you make mistakes developing it. And no need to dump dirt on people's carpet to demonstrate either.

This is a great example of staying focused. Looking at comps for other extensions and talking about SERPS are OK if you're dying to buy something, and you can't make a decision by any other means. But registering the generic name of a consumer product line that is brandable as a .PRO is money in the bank from my perspective.

Sure sounds like people are regging a lot of crap because the term is searched for a lot, or they like the word. I'll be interested to see the renewal rates for .PRO this time next year. Vacuums may be boring, but I think you'll clean up with this one. But then again, I'm guessing just like the next guy.

InvisionTech · 10-28-2008, 08:25 PM

Thank you. I made some mistakes last year by regging some crap names but since then I've focused on service and product oriented names.

Chopping up .PRO today with these:

Cutlery.pro
Blender.pro
Brew.pro
Gemstone.pro

spoofies · 10-28-2008, 11:06 PM

I think product oriented names are great as well, pretty much a category killer. I've been heavily invested in GEO .pro recently. I just think its so broad that anything from jobs to travel to real estate can be worked into it.

InvisionTech · 10-28-2008, 11:17 PM

Yeah, thats true.

My last few:

SouthKorea.pro (Korea.com sold for $5,000,000 in pvt sale in 2000. I think South Korea is up there with top 10 or 20 economies in the world with plenty of money in industry and hi-tech.)
Refurbished.pro
Shed.pro (storage, sheds, etc.)

Need to concentrate on renewals now lol

spoofies · 10-28-2008, 11:23 PM

Refurbished is awesome. You must really be brainstorming IT. SouthKorea.Pro is a great Geo. I searched for Seoul a few weeks back and it was taken. Surprised no one took SK yet.
