To buy or not to buy.. That is the question

Hey all

As you can see in this thread, .ca domains are growing in popularity by the day and it seems like 2006 is going to be a good year for them.

I'm thinking of registering a 2 word .ca domain (medical condition) that has
  • 43,555 OVT w/o ext
  • x$ ppc rates
  • Many ppc advertisers

Any thoughts?

It's only $10.45CDN so I guess about $8-9US - yes it's the Canada extension.

Don't really know if I should develop the site and make money off affiliate programs (if I can get traffic), or if I should try and sell the domain. Any advice?

i would dev it.

maybe a few useful pages of info on acne, and links to some popular and related products or sites, and voila!

it may take some time to build-up, but so what, you're not going anywhere too soon are you?

I'm surprised you even have to ask about this one... Reg it, the worst you can lose is ~$10.

Dev it and resell it. If you give it SEO then you can even make some money with the site while you are at it.

Oh well. Guess I'll use Wordpress, I always start getting SE traffic overnight when I SEO my wordpress sites and link to the site from my other blogs.

That's exactly what I was thinking when I read this. Domains are so cheap - might as well buy it and see what happens in a year.

domains are cheap but its easy to quickly rack up a 100-200 name portfolio and that is not cheap.

But you only need 2-3 cents per day to pay for domain - only problem is that the more domains you own the easier it is to neglect them.

Good luck AcneProduct is definitely not a bad one...even though I rather have a generic TLD on that one and not a country TLD.

good luck
