Worth-less

Get a refund. Think about potential buyers before registering. What, you think George Clooney or alternatively someone who has an axe to grind with him will buy this off of you? Fat chance of that! Best you can hope for is getting served with a C&D letter... how much is that worth to you?

You ignored the basic rule of domaining. Stay a mile away from names and trademarks.

ditto

it's a C&D waiting to happen

now a simple fan site about a guy that still draws chicks even though he's old as dirt might get you some minor traffic, but monetizing it won't amount to much

definitely not an 'investment' domain

speed hosting will cost you more than the income it generates

so you want to put it on a sloooooowwww shared network like godaddy or hostgator, it's 5 or 10 bucks a month

I don't think it will generate that in 'income'

Just test the page open times of all the junk sites on godaddy and hostgator, you see 5 to 10 seconds page open times, that means 90% of people that try to visit sites on those networks backup and don't even hit the page since we now live in the age of 'instant' net

People are used to fast open times now even on mobile devices, heck my whole company now revolves around supplying companies with millisecond open times for wordpress sites with 2mb or so front doors, you keep the open time under 1 second and you don't lose potential traffic which in the age of expensive cpc clicks is the whole key to sem and even seo

You open under 1 second with a 2mb wordpress front door you got a site people see

I don't let a company on my network unless they can afford 250 a month for that level of speed to host on real cloud network optimized to handle the load heavy cms most companies use today which is wordpress

If you can't afford a speed cloud network with under 1 second page opens, then expect 5 to 10 second page open times and that means 90% of potential users will never even see your info

It costs MONEY today to have anything work right on the net, 99% of sites fall into the bad network hosting category and that is a major part of how google now ranks sites, it's why the directory sites with fast networks dominate serps for most terms today, they have the #1 seo factor in google's eyes FAST PAGE OPENS which means GREAT USER EXPERIENCE, speed is the #1 strike today in Google's mind.

I don't think anyone here is even discussing this problem today with trying to host and develop anything, so that's the first hurdle you have to endure, do you really want to sink 3K or more a year in trying to host a site quickly that is really just a potential C&D liability.

It's a liability IMO and not worth owning

The potential aggravation out weighs any potential gains

Now if you are a guy or girl that digs the dude, fine, live with slow page opens and it still costs you 5 or 10 a month to host somewhere

Lawsuit!

 

[TDM]

I'd also call that domain a time bomb.


.. another thing:
"Page open times" is NOT search engines #1 ranking factor.

Page open time is also either the wrong or misspelled term. Page loading times is what users/SE's care about in that matter.

There's a long way coming from 4.99$ hosting up to 250$ range.

Most sites simply don't experience that hefty load of traffic.

Average, but good, shared hosting along proper caching, compressing maybe a cheap CDN goes long way.

That monthly ~ 245 bucks left are better suited into marketing until that mighty buzzfeed 1st page or whatever you care about happens.


Sorry for off topic, could not resist.

Speed is now the main thing Google considers in both SEM QS scores and SEO rank

If you are in the industry you know that and most in the industry are not really disgusting it

Granted CDN is part of WPO (Website Performance Optimization) but the fact is lots of companies are on dog servers on cheap hosting platforms.

I have a lot of clients that used to host with godaddy and hostgator and the ones putting money into PPC realized after my reps showed them page open times from sites that do that type of analysis that their 2mb or larger wordpress sites on those shared platforms were all showing 5 to 12 second open times

Even amazon did a story about how every 1/10th of a second over 1 second costs them MILLIONS in sales

Googles stated goal is to maintain 500 millisecond open times on their main page

SPEED is now king in seo and sem

Our own cloud network is 100% closed, it's all companies and we optimize the sites and everyone is on WP for the CMS

You deal with a business owner spending 3K to 50K a month on ppc and when they realize their page open times are costing them traffic, they realize 250 a month is nothing to be in the sub 1 second range

All you have to say is

How much does your iPhone cost a month 150, your office internet 150 your net and cable at home 300 or so

So do you really think 5 or 10 bucks will work for the main thing your company uses, the front door of their website

High Speed business hosting for companies with PPC budgets is now a major part of our company, and CDN is not something most business owners can do themselves, we charge 1K to just build a CDN bucket and it doesn't work unless you know how to properly optimize a wordpress site

So the steps are
WPO of the site
Build a bucket
Host on a fast cloud CDN

The problem then becomes TFB (Time to First Byte) and that is where all the large cheap shared platforms have problems.

Anyway, WPO is now the heart of SEO and SEM

Companies that see 5% response ratios from their slow sites when they move to a fast WPO solution all of sudden can see 50%+ response ratios

All you have to do is test the front doors of all the large cheap hosting companies and you see how bad their own page speed is

 

[TDM]

The original posters question led you to the assumption he's your target client?

Do we now see such offers spam? in every topic where that words occur:
website, domain, hosting, .. etc


IMO you should open a thread in appropriate section and go from there.

 

[idomainappraisal]

our clients are almost 100% lawyers and only a few niches of that

they have huge ppc budgets so 250 is nothing to them a month

I don't think you have PIA (personal injury attorneys) or criminal lawyers hanging here

Someone commented on hosting costs and I explained why 250 is nothing today to get sub 1 second speed

If you have a 2K or higher ppc budget, yeah, my company can help you, but outside of lawyers, that's a high budget for 'local companies', and I don't think lawyers or big budget ppc companies are cruising here.

I've done a lot of legit domain appraisals and posted very few things, so my comments are not spam

 

[TDM]

I was driving within speed limit on many roads and I don't drive for long, so when I'm going over it now -> I really don't deserve a ticket!

I'm out.
Have fun. peace.

Thanks for the dislike. My very first one in any forum for ever. No virgin anymore. Awesome! Greatly appreciated.

No, I think he'd focused on "George Clooney" and went on from there

when you call a person a spammer, what do you expect

 

[idomainappraisal]

No, I think he'd focused on "George Clooney" and went on from there

I explained to you why even cheap hosting for the name would lead to spending money and then you run into the problem everyone has that uses cheap hosting

Such names are not 'potential' clients for my company, we run a very tight closed network, we admin every site and it's for high budget local professionals usually

Such a name would never be on our network and the only reason I mentioned it was IF you developed it and got traffic high speed networks are not cheap so it's not worth developing

Yet someone wants to jump in and start calling people names for just discussing issues with such names

 

[Paul123]

Regardless of any TM issue always try and avoid a 'dash' in a domain. It tends to kill any value.

Best,
Paul

 

[kite26]

The worst thing is not that you have tm issues.The worst thing is that George Clooney has for wife a famous lawyer!!

Meanwhile...

-Darling, what can i do about this domain name?It shows my full name.
-Don't worry about that George, let's sleep for now and tomorrow i send a lawsuit to him. So easy for me!
-Oh, i love you Amal!
-Me too George!

 

[Jv1999]

I like how the thread is more about page loading times than the domain that bites its master

 

[Brands.International]

dashed name with TM issue..drop it.

 

[frank-germany]

drop it
Unless you know what you do
