domain Bought A .WS

[dgridley]

I'm not big on .ws, unless I can't get my chosen keywords any other way.. I bought this .ws:

LUXURY-CRUISE

to use for an adsense optimized content site.

Luxury Cruise is 35k/day OVT and 400+/day WT. 1.5 million Google so not alot of competition for the top slot (compared to some).

Might put a Travel Now affiliate site on the backend as well.

Comments? Appraisals?

Hiya David:

You registered the name for development, so the name will have value eventually. On it's own, however, I don't think it has much more value than the registration fee. I personally think that the name LUXURYCRUISE.TV is far more valuable, and it's available. Of course, I am a big fan of the .TV namespace, so my opinion is somewhat biased.

undeveloped, the hyphen + the extension = regfee

developed = sky's the limit. depends on traffic, incoming links, press, etc

 

[dgridley]

Yep.. I realize the value comes with development..I really didn't think the .tv fit in this case tho (I prefer .tv for entertainment sites mostly)

Thanks for your comments!

Nice keywords but hyphen and extension arent helping. Reg fee undeveloped but way more developed depending on traffic etc.

Got it hyphenated mainly for SEO

It may not be considered to be valuable from the perspective of reselling (aka domaining), but the hyphenated domain does have value from the SEO point of view. So, if you're gonna develop it, you can turn it into a nice money puller.

BTW, dont co-brand the site.... make the design unique, and use the API instead. Dont forget to make the extension a part of the logo
Put up lots of articles, tips, stock photos etc ... that'll pull in visitors, and make them click on your affiliate links.
