NYE(.)LA

I have had my eye on this domain for a while now; in fact since September 2007.

I finally purchased the domain today, after viewing the prices of their premium domains.

This domain was not classified as premium so i picked it up at reg fee.

Although the .la extension is fairly unknown, i am planning on building this website into a site for parties on New Years Eve in LA, and based upon the registrars 'Premium' names, i think i did pretty well here for example:

act.la = $2000 p.a
big.la = $1000 p.a
buy.la = $5000 p.a
cab.la = $5000 p.a
car.la = $2000 p.a
hot.la = $5000 p.a

Well, all of those names you've posted are actual words, yours is an acronym and I wouldn't have figured out what it was for had you not said what you had in mind.

I imagine it might be something that people in LA might like if it were to be locally advertised there, but new year's eve is a one night thing. I can't imagine a site about that being too popular, especially limited to one area.

I don't know much about domain appraisal yet as I'm still new to this thing, but that's what I see. I don't think it's worthless, but just not nearly as much as those you've posted.

I'm a bit perplexed also on how you intend to monetize it. There's nothing wrong with specific, focused sites but 1 night is pretty extreme.

I think it's safe to say you didn't "hit the jackpot" but since you only paid reg fee I say go for it if you have a vision. I'd be interested in seeing what whole site dedicated to one day would look/work like.

Not bad zero.. I'd start a Calendar of events for New Years Eve ...monitize it through selling NYE eevnt tickets http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&...ox&rlz=1I7DKUS&q=nye+los+angeles&start=0&sa=N

and of course some PPC adverts

Even though it is only one night as mentioned people prepare and buy all year long ..

You need articles and Photos of events.. to keep interest ...even if you need to invest in buying a few original photos other than what you can find in the public domain ..Do have them

It could be the site to go to to locate all the events NYE events in LA if you take your time and make a nice site...could be loaded with info and still be a low maintence website..do you live in LA /metro ?

good luck

St Valentines is only one day
Fathers day is only one day

You should definitely try to do something with it. I dunno about jackpot. I've never actually heard of .la.

I immediately saw the opportunity (New Year's Eve in LA) the moment I saw the opportunity.

Sure, it is only one evening, but one lucrative evening. Valentines Day is only one day, but it didn't stop me from getting saintvalentinesday.org ;)

I would say that NYE.LA is xxx undevelopped and xxxx+ built up with a directory of NYE parties in LA....

if you can beat up seo-wise sydney's new year's eve site then go for it however you can't compare it with those premium domains that you mentioned it's all for me, 3 letter .la

Totally agree with both! would be quite a job to have all the events listed, though ticket sales are always in high demand so a reseller commission could do quite nicely.

BTW, i live in Sydney lol, also have NYEsydney.com, NYEparis.com and parisNYE.com that i will be developing.

You will have to develop it in order to really hit the jackpot. :)
