Cheaperthanoil.com

Four New Domain names that I registered day before yesterday at Godaddy

• cheaperthanoil.com
• cheaperthanoil.net
• cheaperthanoil.org
• cheaperthanoil.info

I am totally new to the domain name market and any help would be highly appreciated!

Thanks in advance ! :blink:

usally if you can get the .com, .net, .org, .info all in one wack you got a name with what is called reg free value. Meaning its valued at what you payed for it, unless you add value to it by developing it.

Isnt everything cheaper than oil now?

Hi johname,

Wow! I didnt know that stuff. So is it only worth what I paid for it? Yeah, everything is cheaper than oil. I thought I might just capitalize on all the hoopla surrounding oil prices now!

I got a free appraisal done by Nameboy and they think it might be worth over $9k collectively. (Mind you, I am as new as a foetus in the domain market).

So what do you think would be a good price for this? Any other ideas guys?

Thanks!

automated apprasial are not worth much, in this instance it reads "cheap" and "oil" and gives you a crazy $9k number, but no knowledgeable human looking at those names would say that.

So what do you think would be an ideal price for it? Should I consider developing them for some adsense revenue or affiliate links and then put em up for sale after some time?

you reg this yeasterday

Your the only one in the world that thought to reg this

If someone wanted it they could have bought it for reg cost only 2 days ago as far as my quick research shows.

I would test it and see if it has traffic, good luck

I agree with johname. Park them for a while and see how much traffic they get. Then you will be able to get a better idea of how much they could be worth.

Thanks guys! Appreciate the help!

Hello Sanjay,

Unfortunately, this name is not worth anything more than reg fee. Try reading up on the basics of domaining and I'm sure you'll do well

 

[sanjaynair]

OW! Thought it would be worth more!

Hi,

Oops! I thought it would be worth more. Anyways, the reg fee would be my last option.

Should I try to develop it? How do I know the search volumes for the term?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Sanjay,

The best way to find search results is in quotes.

"cheaper than oil" gives results a little over 20K in Google. That is a low number.

The best free appraisal can be done at estibot.com. According to estibot your .com is worth 80$ and the rest reg fee only.

Wish you luck.

Hi Vabs,

I got the free appraisal done from about 3 different websites including estibot. But strangely, not many people on the forum think its worth much. I will be putting the lot up for sale for about $100. That is $80 for the .com and the rest for the reg fee. Let's see if I do find any takers.

Thanks!
