How good is .tk?

[scoops22]

I was wondering if .tk is worth regging.Are good ones worth much? thanks

Nope. May be biggest keywords like sex, casino etc worth something. Apart from that, no.

Further, Iam not sure if you're talking about the free registration. But, the free registration doesnt give you domain ownership.

Yea the free registration is worthless. You don't own the domain. It is simply pointed to you.

Unless SEX.tk or POKER.tk or some really good keyword, I don't really see value in this... .TK brought itself up as "The FREE Domain" and even if you registered it as a premium domain, most domainers will see no value.

I personally see these as worthless based purely on the fact that they are unused and unsold in the industry. Basic supply and demand. I have never seen a major .TK sale, and do not expect to see one.

On the other end, everyone does know .tk ... I think it's got its value only if you have a good keyword. It will be easily memorisable, unlike other 'tropical' extentions. Of course the ads and such are a minus, but on the other if you see how many people visit .tk sites ... the reputation won't stop you from getting a good number of hits.

But only valuable when having a good keyword.

PS: in the Netherlands some people tried promoting it as an abbreviation of Te Koop, which means 'for sale' ... never really worked though.
