I am just curious what everyone here feel that good key word .4u .com subdomains are worth.Do you think that this will become popular or fizzle out?
Thanks

No Value.

scoops22 · 06-30-2007, 02:33 PM

Not even something like money poker or sex?

Ok ,Thanks

I've said previously that the only one I thought worth registering was www (and someone else got that)

maybe poker, money or sex could be worth something, but these are very popular keywords that would form a domin hack with 4u.com. Usually no.

If you did purchase these i would suggest development and optimize them heavily to the keywords.

I was speaking with the people that run 4U.COM a few months back, apparently they're trying to get a whole new .4u TLD approved - and they mentioned that if that happens and it is approved, that anyone who bought names earlier (this year) would have their names automatically transferred to the new TLD.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/domain-newbies/345051-4u.html

ie, so homes.4u.com becomes homes.4u

Pretty sweet if it DOES get approved, otherwise I wouldn't invest too much here.... won't know if it's approved for at least another year anyway, and now I can see that the application for the .4u TLD has somehow arrived into the suspected spam area on the icann site:

I bought a few for my business, with hopes that it does happen, but I'm not holding my breath that's for sure...

Can't see it happening, myself. Bit of a stretch of the imagination

and I'm usually a little willing to believe

.

You never know though, but the only 4u I've come across in adverts is phones.

That doesn't sound realistic. Why would ICANN start an extension favoring a privately held domain like 4u.com; Even if they did, why would they allow .4u.com holders the right to same .4u names? Doesn't sound logical.

IMO its just marketing trick to sell some .4u.com names.

No idea I'm just the messenger here... they're obviously really trying to make it happen. You can tell on the whois service that they've held back all the premium names, similar to the .mobi launch. Now no-one in their right mind would be trying to snag a subdomain of .4u.com for a premium price, but if these were all shifted to a new .4u TLD, it would make more sense then...

I just bought 3 for myself, and if the new TLD is approved and my [name].4u.com is transferred to [name].4u, I would have no hesitation in launching some of my new site ideas on this possible new TLD.
