Park? Develop? Are these names any good?

[mrbo]

Hi all,

I'm pretty new to the domain name business. I registered these 4 names a few years ago and didn't do anything with them. They are: travel-directions.com, travelingdirections.com, traveldirections.org and traveldirections.net

I'm wondering, are the names any good? Should I try to develop any of these? Right now I have all 4 parked at namedrive (i tried 1plus/imodo and sedo as well)

These are the only 4 domain names I own. Any advice is very much appreciated

welcome mrbo!!!

i really think they have potential if you develop
nowadays hyphened names arent considered as bad as some years ago, and even with the hyphen i think the best name is travel-directions.com... it is a dot com

good luck with them
BTW, how long have these names been parked?
if you have stats would you mind in telling us if they are good or not?

they've only been parked at namedrive for 7 days. i had them parked at sedo/1plus for maybe 5 days prior to that.

I think I'm going to try and develop them. This doesn't look too good for parking :hehe:

Thanks for the advice

I agree on that and will say that out of some developped domains that I have worked on, my hyphened ones were doing better in an SEO point of view than the others. Off course there is all several factors here as if my one word domain would have been premium they might of being doing better and so on... but only to say that personnally, if it's to develop I have never turned my back on an hyphened name, would that be even 2 hyphen in it. They do well in SEO if they are keywords targetted
