domain HOME-INTERIORS.COM Appraisals?

Anyone?

Up

sedo 250 to 500 offers IF you're lucky
maybe mid xxx to high xxx

I don't think it has 1K strength hyphens are soft with new tld's

GOOD LUCK though

Thanks alot. Yeah, I would part with it for high $xxx. But not in a hurry to sell.

It's an aged one and keyword domain. Though nothing to claim about inbound links and all that.

I think there's a magazine with the name so any use could get you fast C&D

good luck though, we do high cpc value development only and that means normally 50 to 200 USD cpc

so minor terms like this with low cpc value (under 10 bucks) have no interest to us,

But to interior designers and such and a portal team that likes that type of traffic, who know maybe you could get over 1K

the big problem with hyphens today is with all the new tld's you got nice terms for reg fees so why use a hyphen

interiors.homes would be an example

homeinteriors.whatever

hyphens have always been an seo play and today, new tld's have killed them for the most part

that doesn't mean a hyphen won't set a sales record this week haha

but it's very unlikely

Other than in your own world, hyphens have always killed the name for the most part. The new tld's that no one cares about have nothing to do with it.

Really so all those big companies that used hyphens years ago didn't happen
haha

In my world I have a long memory and I remember a time when CEO's used to say get both and use the hyphen we don't want to confuse the public

We actually still have a few developed hyphens in our network and they make us a ton of dough

Care to name a dozen or so large companies that use hyphens in their primary domain name?

were you alive in the later 90's?

I would say 25% to 35% of the first companies to do TV marketing with a .com used a hyphen to show the name better

They owned both and for SEO and now sem, a hyphen is actually pretty valuable to some

But the same value can now pass to new tld's for at least SEM

Not sure on on SEO but when we started years ago to develop biz and info we popped them to page 1 if not #1 all the time

So emd's with a hyphen today have a value IF you do major development today or if you do SEM, but buyers are choosing new tld's over hyphens .com

I'm probably older than you are, although I didn't get into domains until recently. I will say, I don't remember all of these major companies using hyphens as you claim. Again, care to give a few examples of major companies using it as their primary domain?

It was common in the 90's and today a big company still resolving to their original hyphen is the largest news paper in SFL

www.sun-sentinel.com is the main url even the non hyphen resolves to the hyphen
www.sunsentinel.com

They're a pretty big site with a legit 18K alexa

But it was pretty common way back in the day and I'm sure if anyone here was doing IM from 1995 or so they remember how hyphens would often be on TV for companies

Anyone that did SEO back in the day will tell you the hyphen didn't hurt SEO one bit

www.m-w.com still resolves to www.merriam-webster.com an 800 alexa

So now everyone can say wow some big companies STILL PREFER HYPHENS

So a newspaper that most people outside of Florida don't read and probably don't know about and a dictionary company...not exactly what I would consider the best examples. So again, 99% of large companies don't use and don't want hyphens in their domain name...regardless of the new extensions.

What I said was in the early days of the net, a lot of larger companies with 2 words in their brand did use hyphens and these are just a couple of sites I still use that still do it.

What did I say HYPHENS are now soft yet back in the day they had some value.

So what major companies used them back in the day? Can you name any major companies that used to use them?

Like I'm really going to remember specific TV ads from over 20 years ago

It happened, and some were tied to cyber squatting cases, a squatter took the TM .com and before it become easy to get a TM back, some larger companies with two names used hyphens.

Now maybe you didn't pay attention to ads in the early days of the net, I did, but it's OLD NEWS and something I have no interest in keeping in my data bank (brain).

Why are you polluting this thread with an argument, you got a major publishing company still using it MW and a huge regional paper.

Yet you act like no one used hyphens and they still do.

Here's an article showing how new tld's are impacting .com

http://blog.europeandomaincentre.com/best-new-tld/#

Some are old hyphens even in that article, granted no huge companies but some are large local companies

So you can so vividly remember all these companies using hyphens and all their marketing and advertising, but you draw a blank when it comes to remembering the companies...right.
And you seriously cite the silliest of things. Like I'm going to really trust what some domain seller has to say about the new extensions...of course they are going to say good things, because they want to sell them! There are literally TONS of articles about how many of the new extensions are essentially failing and that very few companies are legitimately using them. But of course you only read and believe what you want.

I know what I'm involved in and even today lot's of huge companies still use hyphens in some industries I'm in such as Publishing. www.McGraw-Hill.com as an example.

So, some still use hyphens and around 1996 and 1997 there were big companies using hyphens, who they were, I honestly don't remember, but if anyone was around then paying attention to early use of domain names in major media, they saw them.

I could care less today who it was, you care, but you just want to take over the thread and act like you are a supreme deity here.

Hyphens are still used today and while most big companies now control their TM's, when the net first began commercial use, some companies did not have their TM in .com and they sure used hyphens.

Like I said in some industries I'm in such as publishing and even legal marketing, lot's of companies use and prefer their hyphens, law firms are a perfect example of companies still using hyphens in TV ads, granted a local law firm is not a 'major company' but in most local markets they are usually the biggest local buyers of TV ads on a local level.

Like I said before as far as the OP is concerned hyphens are now a negative but they were once used by companies in TV ads.

Some like the look of it, but generally today such companies would be advised to not use a hyphen.

Yet some large companies still prefer to resolve to a hyphen.

So the point of you spewing attacks all over this thread is what?

To prove you are an expert at what?

My appraisal stands, hyphens are not popular today and in the early days of the net they were used more.

So how many posts do you intent to make with not one appraisal in them and just calling me names or attacking me?

LOL

Actually, the reason this debate got started is because you stated that hyphens are no longer popular because of all the new extensions...which is not true and I corrected you. You seem to think these new extensions are the holy grail, but they're not. Speaking of which, how goes the .LTD sales? Are they still banging down your door? lol

I guess you don't get it, we are developers first most and all the .ltd are now in development stages.

Sure we'll look at offers and we are getting them but in reality there's way too much value in them to not develop.

Absolute gold mine .ltd in our opinion, I'm glad 'domainers' missed the obvious use of the tld.

Heck .LTD not only means a LIMITED Company but it's a combo of TLD haha

I love those names we have, absolutely love them.

Plus now a couple of our projects are developing in

.tech
.technology
.cloud
.systems
.services
.shop
.news
.company

We are also about to grab one .ai which I absolutely hate (the tld) but for us that one phrase makes sense.

Heck we even have a project for

.love
.florist

Then we have a bunch of reg's now in many other new tld's

.business
.guru
.agency
.center
.email
.rocks

Funny how you are getting offers, but all those .LTD's on Sedo aren't selling at all. You must just have some magic ora that surrounds you. I saw you talking about marijuana domains in the other thread...I think you've been using something a bit stronger than that though.

What part of they are now in development don't you get?

Sure they're listed but unless it's a heavy number, they're not gonna be sold.

Now our numerics will sell, the 1 AI stuff will not be sold unless it's a huge number

Most of the 1 keywords and geo's are developed so sure they're listed but unless it's a big number we have no interest in selling.

The LTD professional terms, offered but being developed and only a big number will take one.

We're developer's and about the only thing on the sedo list that is a spec is the numerics

They'll sell, people love straight 7's and 8's

Well seeing as how there are some .LTD's on sedo for as low as $90 that aren't selling...I don't think you have to worry about getting a 'heavy number'. lol
But since you develop so many sites...list a couple of .LTD's you've developed...I'm sure the community would be interested in seeing them.

Mid xxx
Two posts up ha ha just laugh ha ha

Today on namepros, I witnessed an epic battle lol
On topic: you could probably sell this for 1k to an end user if you market it right
