domain FreeGameWorld.org - .net was soild for $1,500

[piero0074u]

I have just bought FreeGameWorld.org.

At first I was not going to buy it but then I saw that freegameworld.net has been sold for $1,500, I decided to give it a try. According to Alexa it ha a ranking of 12,931,920. It also has thousands of links.

Was it worth it to register this domain?

Thanks

I like .net, more than .org. I realize others hold different views. The previous sale does provide some benchmark. If you like .net more than .org, you would say the domain is worth mid to high $XXX. If you like .org more than .net, you would say the domain is worth high/low $XXXX to mid $XXXX.

I don't like .org, because most commercial internet companies are not going to build an internet brand on .org. But .org does give SEO advantage like .com and .net - so I do see value in the extension.

Some search volume for "Free Game World".

Not a bad brand, if you are willing to build on a .org.

For me, .org kills it as a brand - but that is my personal tastes.
