If .biz is the last resort

[SeriousName.com]

Is a domain that has over 2,000,000 exact keyword searches a month worth buying in .biz extension, if it is the only one left?

That search volume is huge and its exact keyword searches. I would buy the .biz absolutely.

 

[abdussamad]

no. no one cares about .biz.

If you want to develop a website on the domain then buy it. If you want to buy it and flip it for a profit, it's going to be very hard.

I suspect your exact search numbers are actually not exact. That aside, .biz is no worse than 90% of the new TLDs coming out.

Not a domain for flipping usually, but they do sell sometimes. If the keywords suit the .biz extension, it might be worth developing.

.biz has no resale value to DOMAINERS, but there are 100s of thousands of developed .biz sites. And, many companies using .biz as their primary domain.

So I would go ahead and snatch it up if a solid keyword.

The question is tricky, the OP is asking: is it worth buying ?
But that depends on the intended purpose: resale or development. .biz is not a good TLD for resale.
Also, "2,000,000 exact keyword searches a month worth" doesn't mean much.
Perhaps the domain is still available for a reason.

I picked it up on the drop day. It was reg in 2003, it got dropped in 2013, then again in 2015. For 10 solid years it was active.

Domainers are often close minded. They will spend $xxx on q9j.com (just an example) which is complete garbage to most of end users, but will decline to purchase one word .biz domain with solid exact search. Nonsense.

.biz is not ideal extension, but there are still a lot of potential end users for solid names. I would rather own Casino.biz than some random LLL.com.

Really? Well, your choice
I don't prefer .biz, but from my experience, .there are .biz buyers. Of course it is much harder to sell .biz than .com, but it is not impossible at all.

Hi,

I would love to own Car.biz as I think you would be able to get a 5 or even 6 figure amount for that one, but I would (personally) not give many dollars for something like Carrepair biz.

I guess the answer is somewhere in between. I personally don't like .biz that much, but REAL premiums will always be able to flip.

Namebio is useful at times like this. It shows the only recent 5 figure .biz sale was $12,000 for 6.biz. Yes, a single number domain. Going back, movies.biz got $3100 at Flippa. It's pretty tough to get 4 figures, let alone 5 figures for any .biz domain in the new TLD era. Watchable.biz sold for an inexplicable $5500 in an apparently authentic private sale. Can't figure that one out, but I grabbed the available .us to hold until I do - so I am not completely averse to a few oddball TLDs in my portfolio

I don't think successful domainers are close minded at all. Yes, there are lots of close-minded attitudes among many domainers, and that creates opportunities for others. I would steer newer domainers away from lesser TLDs, hyphens and other such stuff simply because they are harder to sell than .coms. Not impossible, but significantly harder. Many new domainers have enough trouble getting the left of the dot right, without having to worry about the right of the dot.

Yes,

I should have checked the stats better. "Car.biz" was actually sold for a little more than 140,000, but that was back in 2006. I have to simply admit that a six-figure amount is a mission impossible in this thousand-domain era, but apart from that I meant what I wrote in the previous message
