domain Financials.Pro

Financials.Pro

I had an offer for $300 but didn't take it.

Currently taking offers starting at $500.

Any thoughts on the value?

Thanks in advance for your input.

I would have loved this name, if it was simply Financial.pro or Finance.pro - I think the plural for Financials.pro hurts it. Not only could you potentially bleed traffic to the singular form, but it doesnt flow as well. Because of the uncertainty of the .pro marketplace, its difficult to guage a potential value.

A few things will need to happen for the value of this domain to rise.

1. .pro registration/renewal fees take a sharp decrease
2. .pro continues to show signs of solid sales

The plural version got a 88,400,000 search result on Google and the singular counterpart got 455,000,000!

This is a great domain. The .pro extension is ok because "pro" stands for professional.

I am wondering if Name.Pro is still available for reg?

A plural but still it is a good name.

I think that yes it might hit around your mentioned range of $500.

Thanks.

I offered the $300. I agree with Spade. Plurals, in most cases, hurt .pro. I paid $1,800 for Rates.pro and that's one of the few keywords where I think it works OK. The problem with the "s" on Financial is you lose the employment angle of "Finance professional" or "Financial professional".

You could put together a site to download company financials, the problem is how much effort would that take and how much money are you going to make? Plus, the information is already freely available on each company's own site to download.

dnou you wanted $1,000 for Financials.pro initially but I paid $1,000 for Company.pro and that's got 1bn Google uniques and more angles. I've been offering to buy .pros on another thread and the problem is people want huge multiples of registration fee for average keywords. You can still register excellent keywords that work with the .pro extension so it's difficult to justify the premium pricing for now.

Yesterday I registered Democracy.pro (as in Pro-Democracy movements), HumanRights.pro (massive growth area in Law), Chauffeur.pro (you know how chauffeurs like to wear hats and uniforms to make themselves look professional and justify premium pricing), Trucking.pro & Haulage.pro (US and UK versions of same terms, would look great on the side of trucks, more memorable than the usual "J Bainbridge & Sons" you see on highways and motorways), Delivery.pro (as more goods get traded online, the number of delivery companies will mushroom), and Password.pro (1bn Google uniques and encryption technology is only going to grow in importance)

While you can still register .pros like this for $100 and people let premium keywords expire because it's too expensive to reregister it's difficult to justify paying more than a small multiple of registration fee unless the keyword is exceptional.

I like it! Although it's plural it's still a great name. The finance/loan/credit industry is huge on the internet and I think the .pro extension fits it rather well. It's a much better extension then say, .aero. I think you're right dnou. $500 sounds like a very reasonable price for the domain. If you could get someone to broker it for you it's possible you could get more..I'm going mid to high xxx for this one.

The "s" definately hurts the domain quite a bit. I think you could get around Mid $xxx
