domain msblog.com, yourcreditback.com, and trafficprobe.com

[kday]

Looking for appraisals for:

msblog.com
yourcreditback.com
trafficprobe.com

All domains have a little bit of traffic (maybe not significant), but trafficprobe.com has a significant amount of traffic. All these domains were deleted today, so obviously none are developed.

Thanks!

I don't like the first 2 but I do like trafficprobe.com, would make a awesome traffic exchange or advertisment company.

Anyone else?

TrafficProbe does seem usable even as an ok brandable. Without traffic I'd say in the xx to very low xxx region if someone's interested, maybe higher if they're very interested.

If those daily visit amounts (80) and the backlinks (108) are true and work, you might be able to convert that traffic into some reasonable income before it dies down... I'd be curious to hear how your traffic goes and if they convert to clicks on your parked page.

MSblog is usable for anyone wanting to blog on Microsoft of course; TM probs and what to do with it make it a difficult name to do something with if you're not into developing yourself.

The other name doesn't stand out to me at all, undeveloped.
I think trafficprobe is the best of the 3 and I might even have tasted that one for traffic myself if I'd seen the stats

So, I think I will pick up trafficprobe.com. My only competition is the (in)famous Halvarez, so I can probably pick it up for around $60. If reselling doesn't work out initially, I have a great idea on how to develop it.

I am competing with 2 other people for msblog.com (not including halvarez), so I am not sure if or how high I should bid on that domain. I don't see how trademark issues will be a problem as long as you are not using Microsoft® logos and trademarks in your logo. MS isn't a trademark.

Anyone think msblog would be a good investment, or should I just skip it? I can see someone (maybe even myself) developing a blog that talks about new MS products, and discusses how to fix various Windows problems such as spyware/malware, etc. I think you can capture the MS enthusiast and just the average person trying to fix their computer. I actually primarily use Apple products, but I think I know enough about Microsoft products to have the image as an "expert" or "enthusiast".

Anyone think the domain has potential undeveloped?

edit: Nevermind, MS does appear to be a trademark. I can't believe trademarks can be 2 characters. MS can also stand for Multiple Sclerosis, and I am not sure if that has potential for a blog.

Hi Kday
welcome to the forum;
FYI, per forum rules you need to own or be in control of any names you put up for appraisal. This keeps the appraisal section tight and relevant to people who want their names appraised; otherwise it would be inundated with anyone saying 'hey, waddaya think AnyOldName that's for sale at AnyOldForum is worth?' and the like.
Good luck with the buy

Just so you're aware, especially with 2-letter combinations, if your development of the name is in a completely other direction than the trademarked company/services, then you should have no problem. In other words, you could develop it into a multiple sclerosis blog - just make sure no Microsoft ads are showing anywhere. :P

Thanks for the friendly heads up! I appreciate it.
