Hello NP,

It would be great to hear your thoughts about this domain. Regged in 1997, taken in major extensions.
Nice gay name IMO, could be used for dating site etc.

Thanks in advance, Nick

Good name and could be worth a lot of $'s to the right end user.

Low to mid $xxxx reseller IM-HO.com

Very likely to sell for more among domainers than developers.

The only real use is a personals site. gayfriendS is the superior domain, and may be seen as a traffic leak.

 

[twomoon]

Thank you also for appraisal

Any other thoughts?

WOW... That domain name is great , I mean people starts using the word gayfriend more and more this days."oh , Thats Michael . My gayfriend"

I really think if you keep it for 5+years it will make you lots of money . I mean lots.

Don't waste your money on appraisals like that.

If you get a $10k offer, take it and run.

Thanks for your advice I'm not talking about the value of this appraisal. It's first time I ordered it, just wanted to check it on this name. In my opinion some day I'll receive a highest offer and than I'll run

Have to agree, I would only have charged you $45 for that appraisal. :wave:

This is a nice domain for a gay dating service.

I'd have to disagree with the above appraisals. Most popular gay websites don't use the word gay in their domain name. Ex: ManHunt.net, Adam4Adam.com, ManJam.com (all of which get more traffic on their own than gay.com). The main reason for this is because 50% or so of the audience gay social networks and websites attract are closet cases and married men. GayFriend dot com would turn off those who don't identify with being "gay" and dont want to be affiliated with a "gay website".

Most gay people generally speaking aren't looking for gay friends online, their looking for hook ups/action which is the reason why hook up sites, webcam sex chat sites, and porn related websites do incredibly well in the gay niche. GayFriend doesn't get many searches a month 720(usa exact)-2,900(global exact) but it might work as a social network type site. I'd appraise it at mid $xxx. I think if it was the plural (GayFriends) it would be worth much more.

this is sad. i feel in minority straight as i am.

It has potential, although my honest opinion would be to create a gay social network as mentioned above. If this turns out to be the belief of many other domains you may have quite a good sale pending.

 

[twomoon]

Thank you all for your appraisals. I really appreciate it.

I wish I could develop it, but I'm not a developer. And yes, probably the best way it could be developed is social network.
