domain Please Appraise avocats (.) net

[kilomolo]

I would appreciate if anyone could appraise this domain.

Please note that "avocats" is Lawyers in French.

Thank you!

Anyone ?

Not a bad domain imo, but the market for French domains isn't brilliant. .net gets some use in France along .fr & .com but I don't think you would fetch more than mid-€€€ easily. I could be wrong of course.
Good luck.

PS: perhaps lawyers that specialize in cyberlaw will like the .net more.

More than mid-€€€ for sure, I would say 4 figures at the least... ride out this down market.

Build a directory site for French lawyers to list a basic listing free...

That'll drive nice organic traffic to the name.

Mid $xx.

I think .NET has seen its day. My recommendation would be to focus on .COM and .ORG and treat .NET as an undesirable.

Are French lawyers allowed to advertise ?
I thought not.

Totally disagree - I think that .net still commands greater overall prices than .org (DNJournal reflects this) and in many cases, there are better arguments for .net for most end-users since the .com is way overpriced.

I think .org (and I own many of them - more than .net even!) is great but only if the name somewhat reflects the original non-commercial nature of that TLD.

Yes and no - this blog article has excellent insight and links for reference (in French) about the rules for lawyers in France:

See www.maitre-eolas.fr for good blog articles, including the one from May 23, 2005 specifically about the issue concerning "Les avocats et la publicité" ... I'd paste the link, but believe it or not, Google Chrome Canary is crashing when I cut and paste the URL between tabs into this editor. Sigh.
