domain Loans.us.org - any idea on value?

[Unarmed Gunman]

Obviously "loans" is a high value keyword, but I have no idea about the desirability of .us.org domains. They look great for things like PPC where you have to display the url, but I haven't seen them in any SERP's so I'm not sure really how to value it other than "whatever someone is willing to pay".

Thanks for any discussion on this.

It's not a real domain but a private subdomain.
No value.
I would never develop on a domain that I do not control.

Actually, .us.org are real domains. You can register them at several registrars (this one was regged at enom). They are no more subdomains than .co.uk or any other like it.

 

[Kate]

No sorry.
.co.uk is a third level extension.
What you have is a subdomain of us.org.

The Centralnic 'extensions' (.uk.com, .gb.com etc) are available with many registrars too, but they are actually subdomains too. They are promoted like regular TLDs but it's just marketing.

loans.us.org

$0.00

Private third-level sub-domain with increased risk and loss exposure. These types of registrations should be strongly avoided under all circumstances. IMHO

:talk:

imo, i consider them the same as ".co.uk",since they work the same, despite cnic being the source.

still, i remember when the domain ".us.org" was for sale and i suggested to the owner then, that they sell subs on it.

Hi

in contrast, i've bought and sold some ".us.com" domains in the past AND they had traffic and produced revenue.


they are same category as .us.org

 

[Unarmed Gunman]

Good information in this thread - thanks guys.

Mybe the other main extension owners could be interested in collecting it, maybe $10 - $100 range due an extension not being applied in the practice so far. Or at least I haven't seen any site using this extension

IMHO

due an extension not being applied in the practice so far. Or at least I haven't seen any site using this extension

type "site:us.org" into google search

by coincidence i've never seen any .fi, .co.za or .com.br site... do they exist at all?

Then, fulfilled what I said of "Or at least I haven't seen any site using this extension" which give a context of application to my appraisal

Thanks for the input, of how to search that, I dind't know it

Because .us.org is not an extension which is widely used. (third level private etc..) the domain doesn't have a large audience. However with that said the words 'loan' and 'loans' are valuable commodities so as AerialT put in a previous post my first plan of action would be to contact other domain owners via their whois who own loans in the main extensions available and see if they are interested in picking up another for a good cheap deal. Just a thought.

Anyone who owns the keyword "Loan", or "Loans" in any main extension would not even pay reg-fee for this name IMHO.

The extension in reality is just a vanity or in other words "worthless".

Stay away from these subdomain names if your looking to profit in the market IMO.

Focus your time, money, and efforts into what has proved itself in the past and still reigns high today.

Good Luck

Please don't. There is already too much spam from domainers/spammers peddling atrocious domains.
This domain will add nothing to their bottom line.
Do not contact end users unless you have a clearly superior alternative to offer. Personally I detest spam from domainers looking for another bigger sucker (sorry for being so blunt :red.

 

[buohcom]

Yeah, like everyone else said, little to no value for domain resell. But it's still a huge keyword and can possibly be developed into something good.

 

[jameslawrence]

True lol. I doubt someone with top domain will buy the lower alternative too.

 

[devoid]

For a $20 bill, the risk is minimal to somebody who wants to purchase this domain to have it redirect to their longer URL. It's unlikely somebody with a long term business plan would develop this name as the home for their website and business.

$20-$50 i would say, because of the implications.

 

[Unarmed Gunman]

Yeah I never expected the domain to become extremely valuable, I registered it with plans to get into the loan niche, and use it due to its vanity value. My thinking was if you're searching for something loan related you would be more likely to click on loans.us.org than bestonlineloansite.info or something similar. But, getting into that niche takes a lot of time and money and I just didn't feel like putting in that kind of commitment.

I have no intention of whois spamming people, just figured I'd ask you guys if it had some resale value.

It's true in my opinion that people would click in your domain, but if you are refering in first page of Google then it would involve a hard work, or if you was refering to placing links in other sites well it could work either

But if you don't feel to be involved in that task, then you should spam as you said . Or resale value, I'd say $1 - $20 range

basically this.

$0.

This domain will not get type-in traffic, and it will not fare better in search engines without development.

Appraisals are for the raw domains. Undeveloped it has no value. You can still develop it, then you sell a website. Preferably a website that is well indexed in search engines and has revenue. Yet the domain is still worth zero, it is the development around it that brings value.
It's a totally different thing than just selling a domain.

Many websites start with a poor domain, but at some point they need to rebrand themselves around a more solid domain to get to the next level
