domain Check Out These German "Winners" I Reg'd

[bgmv]

After all the positive responses on my previous post pertaining to Gezahlt.com I decided to reg somemore German .coms. I hand Reg'd these ones last night. All of them have close to if not more than 1,000,000 hits on Google, they also all correlate to Internet Domaining or Computers.

Schlüsselwörter.com (Literal translation is KEYWORDS- 7.7mil google hits)
InternetDomäne.com (Internet Domain- 850000 hits)
InternetDomänen.com (Internet Domains)
Geknackt.com (Cracked or slang for Hacked- 1.7mil hits)
Heruntergeladen.com (Downloaded- 4.6mil hits)

So, what does everyone think...should I sell them at SEDO?

It can be tricky for a non-native speaker to reg foreign words, particularly for languages that have multiple verb conjucations for past tenses. I would say always check to see that the .de is developed and if it is not (Gezahlt.de is not), proceed with extreme caution. It would be very helpfull to find a native speaker to run your names by.
If they sell at Sedo, please keep us posted. Also, please let us know if any of the buyers are German speaking.

I actually do happen to speak German, not fluently but very well. I did check to see if any of the domains I listed were .de registered and they all were except for Schlüsselwörter; which is regd as schlusselworter.com (w/o the accents).

The reason I recommend a native speaker is that they are familiar with use in various contexts, slang, idioms, obsolete forms, etc. English is not my first language and there would be many pitfalls for someone who is not a native speaker trying to register domains in my language.
The other advice is that if you belive wordtracker, there were no searches for "downloaded". Maybe as in "it's already done, why search for it?"
It can get good google results without many people being willing to search for it.
On the other hand, OVT does say 1950/month for "downloaded".

are these IDNs?
They seem to be, in which case i would have to say the value is reg fee for the IDNs (IMO) to xx for the last 2

No idea how much they're worth but Geknackt.com could be huge for German users if it were built right.

I'm native german speaker and to be honest, i'm not sure whether these have the value that you think they might have. For one, in Germany the .de extension is widely used, especially in conjunction with a German word. Essentially you have a mismatch of domain name and extension here. If you had regged Schlüsselwörter.de you'd be in MUCH better shape.
I'm in a reverse situation, i have GermanStocks.de/Quickloans.de and GermanSocccer.de - which are also a mismatch of domain vs. ext.

In terms of value, i'd give them an approx. mid $xx value at this time, and even there i'd be cautious. I haven't had significant hits on any of the domains.
For once i hope that i'm really totally wrong with the eval. :tu:

Intel I understand exactly what you are saying and I see that we are both in similar situations, only reversed. Do any German websites use .com as an extention or do they only use .de? Is there no value in .coms for German based businesses?

Thanks

I think there's absolute value for a German based business to have their .com. In most cases it's related to a business name, though. You, just like i, are targeting key words and this is where i believe that the mismatch is coming into play.
The best case scenario would be to find German key words or high OVT domains in .de extension.
