domain A few - Manstealer.com

[bradleym]

Hi guys,

Bit of a newbie but I wanted to give it a try, I am aware these aren't the best domains in the world but they may help me get started (or not haha!)

Weakwire.com -- is this brandbucket-able?
Manstealer.com
Weddingcarsinlondon.com
Localdesignandweb.com (I might use this for a project anyway).

Also, I now own lincolnshiregaragedoors.com - I was thinking of contacting a few of the businesses that come up when I search for this term. How much would a localised domain like this usually go for - if anything?

Any sort of idea would be great (good or bad!!), thank you!

Brad

I'm newbie myself, but even I can tell that these 4 names alone won't take you far.

Weakwire - evokes negative connotation. If you had something like Quickwire (or Kwik), Speedwire or Strongwire, you'd be onto something because they are adding value to potential business.

Manstealer - once again a construct with rather negative meaning to it. You should ask yourself who'd ever want to develop site on this domain and to what purpose?

WeddingcarsinLondon - don't know much about this and might as well be worth something in its prospective niche, but as a word of advice in domaining every word and character count, so always aim to make your name as short as possible. With that said, you don't really need "in" in this name, as it's perfectly understandable without it as well.

Localdesignandweb - why local in this name? I have some idea what you meant by it, but once again you should ask yourself who'd ever search for "local" per se in terms of geo location. People usually search for whatever city or town they're interested in, followed by a business or service, like London electrician, or New York plumbing.

Don't get discouraged though. Read more before you go on and buy more names, and when you think you got the hang of it, read even more. I know I should've taken that advice myself :p

Good luck

Hey - thank you for your honesty.

To be fair I wasn't expecting much, these were just domains I spotted when scrolling through a list of expiring ones and thought I'd take a punt - but yes that's a good point about weakwire, that's a good thought process that I'll consider in the future.

Localdesignandweb - another good point, but my idea was directing contacting clients for design work and obviously local doesn't mean anything in a domain SEO sense, but if I'm contacting them direct they'll think I'm local to them, adding value in a way? That was more for me to develop on rather than make a buck

Are there any places that you recommend reading up on?

Thanks again.

Summary: Probably no sales here.

Weakwire.com -- Brands don't want to emphasize "weak".

Manstealer.com -- What's the business? Seductresses seldom incorporate and buy domains.

Weddingcarsinlondon.com -- LondonWeddingCars.co.uk or WeddingCars.london would be better. I don't even know if wedding cars are a real business, but maybe they are. Try not to register someone's 4th choice.

LocalDesignAndWeb.com -- You say you might use this one, but don't. Pick a better name. Especially if it's for your own business. Web design is international; so why confine it to the local? Also, the "And Web" thing sounds wrong.

LincolnshireGarageDoors.com -- If Linconshire is in the UK, then .COM wouldn't be the first choice. .CO.UK would be.

Manstealer - A dating site just like Asley Madison? Maybe you should sell this to them
LocalDesignandweb.com - Good for a small web design company, i can see this in the newspaper ads and SEO results; but not as your main domain though.

Weakwire.com -- drop, no value
Manstealer.com -- Mango is on to something lol
Weddingcarsinlondon.com -- drop, no value, the "in" destroyed it IMO
Localdesignandweb.com -- your best name here, I think its awful for a brand but all across the country you have... non-generic or town name + "design and web" or "design and print". Its very popular and they get custom. Obviously localwebdesign would have been ace!

lincolnshiregaragedoors.com -- drop, no value, worthless... the time you spend trying to sell it is just throwing money away
