Christmas Domains worth registering?

redz · 12-06-2005, 03:30 PM

are christmas domains worth registering such as grinchdirect.com or something?
cause im thinking of getting one.

Jiblob · 12-06-2005, 03:32 PM

Unless it is very generic... not worth it. It only comes once a year

SimpleMan · 12-06-2005, 03:32 PM

As in any name, I'm sure it depends upon the name. Find a good one and I'm sure it's more than worth it.

what about grinchdirect.com ? any value?

SimpleMan · 12-06-2005, 05:24 PM

Nothing stands out about it in my mind. I don't see why anyone would type that in.

I agree. If all your looking for is Christmas PPC, then it's better to go with generic keyword names.
I have a couple of winter clothing domains that get traffic this time of year.
InsulatedJackets*com is one of them.
The name you mentioned would have to have branding and marketing to make you any money IMO.

SimpleMan · 12-06-2005, 06:43 PM

It's also a little late for good SEO IMHO.

I would not buy a xmas domain... as it does not provide a steady source of income

DomainSage · 12-06-2005, 06:55 PM

I have to agree with the general feeling of this thread, unless you have a specific plan for the domain then it is unlikely to provide much of a return on your investment in time and money.

It really is going to be a pretty limited market, there are some ares I think a domain could work in this area ( to be honest not the one you mention ).

However that is just my opinion

All the best

Dr. Seuss Enterprises owns several trademarks on 'Grinch', I wouldn't dare. Besides, it's not that great of a domain to begin with. Try to stay more generic. ChristmasGifts, ChristmasDecor, etc

nah man... i wouldnt register any christmass domains

atomic · 12-07-2005, 04:21 PM

hohoho.ws
hohoho.cc
hohoho.bz

are all available, like most generic terms tho, the goodies are taken.

Australia · 12-07-2005, 04:28 PM

my xmasdiscounts.com and halloweendiscounts.com get good traffic at that time of year

hrishi11 · 12-07-2005, 06:22 PM

christmas domains are seasonal so if you buy it now, you better sell it before christmas or you would have to wait another one year. Secondly, there are so many other religions that dont celebrate christmas. Thirdly, if you plan on getting a christmas domain, i wouldnt recommend grinchdirect.com because the grinch is an evil entity. Im guessing you're planning to make a christmas store, it sounds like a store where people may get ripped off. Like for example, santadirect.com sounds better than grinchdirect.com. good luck with your domain hunt.
