domain FluTracker .org ~ Registered in '08, Traffic even before Swine Flu

[Dillpup]

FluTracker .org

Like the title says, I regged this last year after seeing with the Google Adwords tool that it got traffic even during regular flu season. Now since the swine flu outbreak, traffic has picked up and searches on the term are through the roof. It's a perfect fit with .org, IMO it sounds much more official than com in this case.

Swine Flu is basically on the decline now but very expected to re-emerge in the fall/winter season along with the regular flu. I just put up a whypark minisite so at least the people looking for it could get some information.

But I've been getting alot of inquiries on the domain in email lately. What would you value it at now? Should I try and make a deal while it's still in the news or hold onto it and build up some minisite content?

I'd rather build up a minisite and see if it comes back again, but then again it is hard to compete with the CDC site and wikipedia. It's your call.
