Never heard of .me.uk is it any good for anything? :hi:

its just as good as .co.uk or .org.uk if youre getting a TLD.

By that I mean a term in your domain that is a Top Level Domain.

Generally these are sites like:

Service.com
news.com
help.com

Versus:
My-Service.net
hot-news.org
gethelpnow.com

You should be able to see the difference, both in the words and the extention.
I have a domain: SatelliteRadio.org.uk - I purchased this because SatelliteRadio.com was taken, and this was my next best choice. It is the exact word, but with different extention.

Priority on value would go like this:

SatelliteRadio.com
SatelliteRadio.org.uk / net /org/ /.jp, etc...
Satellite-Radio.com
Satellite-Radio.org.uk / net /org/ /.jp, etc...

*NOTE: if you are going for a domain specifically for Search Engine Optimization purposes where you are targeting a specific keyword, then disregard that order. This is because a Hyphenated domain works better for this purpose.

Thanks so for example and yes I know they are all gone but just as an example if

pokerforum.co.uk was gone but they offered pokerforum.me.uk would that be worth anything at all?? or is two words .me.uk not worth buying?

It depends on your usage.

You should think about how customers will find your site.

Do they need to type this in, in order to find you? - If so, it may be difficult.
If they get there from links or advertising, then you should be fine.
I'd rather have a keyword rich domain like the one youre describing than a domain that doesnt mean anything and is just the name of a company.

I assume that you will be using Search Engine Optimization techniques to get visitors to your site. If so, then figure out the keywords that you want to target and consider getting a domain that uses those keywords.

For me I target keywords associated with Satellite Radio so I bought: Satellite-Radio-XM-Sirius.us just to drive traffic to my main site.

You may want to consider a main domain for your site that uses your top 3 keywords that you want to target.

If you need some help with SEO (Search Engine Optimization) I can provide my services and evaluate the market that you are trying to go after.

Lol well thats what got me here into trouble in the first place I live in england in a very unknown small area that about to become known internationally very soon so thought it was a good idea to buy up a few area names for example

greatbromleyhotels.com
greatbromleyfitness.com
but please dont go buying lots of greatbromley names cos its not there lol :loveyou:

Not sure if anyone will want them but but it seemed like a good idea at the time lol

its just as good as .co.uk or .org.uk if youre getting a TLD.

I wouldn't say me.uk or ord.uk are in the same league as .co.uk

 

[TopSatelliteRadio.co]

I agree- but they are still severely discounted from a .com or .net extention.

Personally, since Im am from the U.S. and I tend to use domain names based on keywords - not extentions, any domain that is keyword rich works for me. Atleast for marketing other sites.

.ME.UK was designed to give people from the UK like myself an online presence. .CO.UK was always for business and .ORG.UK mainly used for charities, appeals and non-profit organisations.

I have a bad story with a .ME.UK domain... but I wont bore you with it!
