domain GoingBusiness.com - Is the name any good? What Industry

[andyandy]

Hi all.

I'm not really a domain dealer. A little while back I saw this domain and it was available and I registered it.

I was wondering what kind of sites it could be used for.

Or what comes in mind when you see Going Business

Comments Encouraged & Appreciated

Sounds like a very nice domain there.

You can do lots of business stuff in it. Normal people will go develop some mini site about business with google adsense to earn small money.

Some would put some automatic rss feed to keep fresh content at all times.

but if you have got what it takes, go and develop a WEB 2.0 site. Loads of free scripts available everywhere. just google it.

create a site where people can advertise their business for free. add in some features such as a place where people can buy and sell their business.
Do loads of marketing on your site. you will then see your subscribers list increase, your traffic increase, and you could be the next alibaba, craiglist and etc. then sell your company for MILLIONS of dollars.
Advertising companies will come hunting you down to advertise at your site.

The potential is Big, and its all in your hands.

Good luck mate.

I agree it's a good domain but would be worth very little. maybe 500 dollars but has huge potential. with the right kind of work, and some major effort this site could become huge. any domain name can be worth a lot more money than just the word it self. If I had say jumpingjackeggsinthehouse.com and it had 50,000 links and great content DMOZ listing a a great page rank this domain could be worth a lot of money. you have a great name. short simple and easy to remember.

Thanks

Actually I liked the name too and jumped on it as soon as I saw it was available.

I also went ahead and registered goingbusinesses dot com as well yesterday.

I've already got part of the site programmed if you want to take a peek, the address is linkspub dot com. This is the business directory part.

I thought it would be a good idea to start on a seperate domain, and then when I'm ready just redirect everything. Or I may just have 2 sites.

After I finish up with the polls, I'm going to start writing the cms software to host the business articles, stories and that good stuff.

Hopefully i should have it up and running in the next 6 - 9 months.

"Going Business" has over 200,000 Google search results. The term is very similar to "Going Concern"...see below:

'A going concern describes a business that functions without the intention or threat of liquidation for the foreseeable future.'

Nice pickup for a hand-reg.

"business" is a nice keyword

Bill,

I've already gotten it appraised and the thread is here

http://www.namepros.com/domain-appraisals/325562-goingbusiness-com-appraisal-needed-site-type.html

I just wanted to discuss and get an opinion of what people think of the name, beyond how much the domain is worth.

That's why I had in discussions.

 

[andyandy]

sorry for bumping the thread.

I just want to get a few more people's honest thoughts on this before I let the thread get buried.

What I'm basically looking for are opinions of develpoing this into sort of a business portal with a directory, content and b2b services.

Does the name fit?

I went on and reserved all the goingbusiness tld, eg goingbusiness.us, net, org, biz etc, etc.
