domain Please Appraise Wikileaks.la

I wouldn't normally ask for an appraisal on a .La but the site is getting good traffic and just want to see what you guys think.


See Photos For Traffic stats.

I would recommend giving it to Julian Assange for free... Since he's doing all of us a favor

Regardless of whether it has TM attached or is in trouble with the law it is worth nothing, taking a domain of a well known company and leeching off it is considered bad form.

Is this now a black hat forum?

I know about TM and squatting and brought the domain to do a mirror but decided to allow it as I can't work it out. So please guys stop posting things that I know already. And personally I don't care due to the nature of their business.

Thanks, finally someone posted a price.

Taking a documents of a well known country and leeching them is also considered to be a bad form.

Regarding the domain i think its worth a lot($x.xxx range) if you manage to sell it quickly to some of Assanges supporters,thats because Assanges ex spokesman is starting a new leak site- OpenLeaks so maybe WikiLeaks will be forgotten soon and became worthless.

Thanks for the post... But I don't really want to sell it. I reg'ed it to see what sort of traffic I can get for a year. And after doing a quick site on wordpress I was shocked on the unique traffic I was getting. The .La is quite crap from what I have seen in my time with domain names.

It will be good to see what happens when openleaks starts. 2 things can happen either my traffic will drop or will go stronger, only time will tell.

And before someone says then why have I posted it for sale on my site... The simple answer is I am a domainer and the end of the day.:lol:

You can rationalize all you want, but you are squatting.

I got a question...

Just say that I did a mirror site last week when I brought the domain. Would that be squatting?

As I said above I know about TM and other stuff. I wanted a mirror site but couldn't work it out. So instead I made a automated site on wordpress so see how the traffic goes for the year I have this name.

Hands up who knows who "owns" Wikileaks....

You are cybersquatting on a domain / organization founded by Chinese dissidents, journalists gone rogue and others who wish to remain anonymous - me thinks this is unlikely to be a problem.

It's like owning alqaeda.la. Sure there's an organization but I don't think Osama is going to be filing a UDRP / Lawsuit anytime soon.

I think the traffic is primarily looking for any wikileaks mirror (or looking to register any wikileaks name for profit). This won't generate much revenue traffic but just traffic.

I expect traffic to go down as the current hysteria dies down.

As for value - I'm sure someone would give you $10 for it. If the Wikileaks group wants it I would weigh up your desire to have privacy versus profit from the domain. They seem to have "sources" everywhere.

Recently, some guy had a Namepros clones mirror site. How is your clone site any different from that?

Also, do you have permission from the Wikileaks owners to build a mirror site?

Your intentions may be okay--maybe in some eyes, even noble--but unless you have permission to use the Wikileaks name, then you are technically squatting, especially if you are earning revenue.

But I suppose it's your decision.

Just hope you don't get in trouble for owning a hot name.

Yeah you might be right about how I am getting traffic, I was thinking about that earlier today.

I think it will nice for a .la tld if the traffic stays up even if the hysteria goes down.

There are over 3000 .la domains on sedo, some are very good names and none are selling.... it's crazy man.

$0 to be generous.

Thanks for the post. Well if I do get a email from them I wait for the day. I know I will not get in trouble unless I act like a idiot which will not happen. As for the permission what the site is at the moment I don't think I need it

( Set up = RSS FEED to (wordpress )POST to ORIGINAL RSS FEED LINK)

Will I need permission?

 

[lothos]

the wikileaks org is actively asking for mirror sites to be published. Most of the ccTLD aren't owned by wikileaks, but by supporters of the organization. I highly doubt they'd have an issue with you owning this domain as long as you posted wikileak content on it.

That said, I doubt they would buy it from you and I doubt there's much of a market for it to someone else, so I would value this as $regfee.

P.S. wikileaks has info on how to setup a mirror of their content. If you'd like to develop the domain I would start there.

 

[j0hnyl]

i think that as long as you have content relative to wikileaks you might be able to squeze a couple bucks out of this domain, I can't imagine wikileaks having a problem with your site unless you are monetizing off of bashing them
