Generic domain name with no traffic, is this name worthless

[john_karr]

Hello I have a spanish .com domain name that getting no traffic but its a great name. Do this mean its worthless or can a great .com sale if it dont have traffic. Keep in mind its a Great marketing name!

It's almost impossible to tell you if it's worth anything without telling us the name, but if it's a great marketing name, it might not be worthless. Maybe you should try developing it?

Alot of really great, marketable/brandable names don't get no traffic.

That doesn't mean they're automatically worthless though.

You just have to pitch harder to the ideal user, or develop it yourself.

Can you imagine a successful business based on the name? That is the source of value. Traffic is nice, but not the only, or even the most important factor. These days most traffic names are priced as if they were rental properties - few bargains there.

no traffic domains are also sold for more than NNNN$.worth is depending on name also not only traffic.if your name is marketing.com ,it has lot of value,even you don't get even 1 visitor per 1 year.

All replies make sense, but, again, OP could be the only person
thinking it's great domain name. There is no way to know it's
great name or not without knowing the domain name itself.

That's true, but the generic answer to his generic question is that, no, a name doesn't have to have traffic in order to be worth something to someone. How much "something" is and which "someones" might be interested will vary widely depending on the quality of the name, traffic statistics or no.

ripley.
