domain 2x one-worded domains need appraisals please - Techniques .ws

[Bizza]

Techniques .ws (many techniques could be added as a sub-domain)
Knows .asia (great for travel & tourism related site)

Highly searched keywords and both are a sub-domain heaven in my view. But I don't know what it would be worth at the moment? Both are not developed properly... yet.

What say you gang?

I personally would not pay anything without them being developed because while it may be true that knows.asia for one could be a travel site, who else knows that?

It could be an interesting one to watch though if you do some preliminary building on it such as visa arrangements, health issues and the usual, and then maybe get a forum and let it build organically without much interference from you...

Once you do that then you will have a much better basis to want money, until then all you have is a generic .asia with reg fee written all over it.

And .ws is not worth the binary it is printed on :p

LOL! Cool. Thanks so much for that input Sparhawke .

I can see what you mean and I will give that development advice a go soon too.

Just wondering about the .ws opinion though. I don't mind it tbh, because I've had a bit of success in ranking for certain keywords using techniques in the term. Sometimes outranking .com's.

BTW, is the .ws extension a ccTLD, or a premium TLD? Thanks again for your valued input matey!

Cheers!

.ws is the ccTLD for Samoa, which is not particularly helpful to anyone even in Samoa lol, and though it may rank higher for you than .coms they still reign supreme in the thoughts of virtually everyone else so regardless of that unless you can prove to someone you have it at #1-10 you will still only ever get pennies sorry

.com is in the international consciousness, .ws was not and just something the internet barons invented so they could pick the cream of the names for themselves and hold everyone hostage later :p

Fair enough. I can understand where you're coming from there. I like to think of .ws to stand for WebSite and I think it's starting to pick up a bit in sales lately too. The reason I'm saying this is that around 6 months ago, there was almost all of the high searched single worded domains in .ws available. I kept an eye out for a few of the good ones, but as I checked it 3 mths later, the available list started to shrink, and to now there is virtually no good single worded variations left. I just managed to get this one tbh. But that's just my observation. Don't know what weight it would hold being a novice though?:p

Yes, as soon as they become available to the public you are best simply grabbing the best you can find, depending on your budget of course...

If you grab sex.ws obviously that will sell nicely lol
