Bouncer,

I've got all the .Pro domains I can handle. Otherwise, I'd bid. However, may I make a suggestion. Content is king is with responsible search engines. INHO, your decisions to register and develop Article.pro reflect much insight. Further, your traffic stats are very promising for a .Pro domain. You clearly have development and SEO skills. You shouldn't need to work this hard to convince others of the value of this site. To me, its obvious. Instead, keep the site. Focus more energy on building an article bank/marketplace. Finally, consistent with the promise that .Pro holds, keep your criteria for article submissions/acceptance high.

@Ben42: Right now the total earnings coming from Article.pro is: $24.98 and a total of 73 clicks.

@mjs: Wow that was a very nice reply and thought! Thank you for that How much i would love to continue and develop Article.pro, i just cant because i have no time for it, to be honest i dont even have time for my other sites that i own. So that was my decision of selling the site, i believe it is a very great name to develop and to get high score in search engines, also because of its premium word: "Article".

I hope that the new owner can be more active with the site, because i like the article database idea myself!

 

[bouncer]

bumpy bump?

 

[mjs]

Ok, Bouncer. I'm going to put my money where my big mouth is, to wit, one bid in the amount of 150 USD.

 

[bouncer]

Thank you for your offer mjs!
Anyone planning in outbidding mjs? :D

. Further, your traffic stats are very promising for a .Pro domain.

may I ask why you say that?

 

[mjs]

may I ask why you say that?

Sure. Type-in traffic, with few exceptions, is still fairly atypical for .Pro domains. On the other hand, .Pro domains often comprise the very keywords entered into search engines by those seeking information relevant to that particular domain. That, combined with sufficient content and SEO skills, can really assist in drawing better search engine placement. Google searches for both "article pro" and "articles pro" revealed that Article.pro enjoys high placement, above even that of articlepro.biz and articlepro.co.uk, despite the latter sites appearing seemingly more developed than the former. While I am no expert on visitor stats, I thought they looked pretty good, all things considered, reflect favorably on Bouncer's efforts, and on the site's overall potential for further development. :imho:

 

[bocanames]

my 2 cents' worth

I too am burdened with a considerable amount of languishing domain names that are begging for development time and attention. The last thing I need is a new project. But I wanted to add my opinion.

A solid name in a TLD where reg fees are $99 - that means mjs stands to get the existing traffic base and website with content for a $51 premium. If you assume $25/yr AdSense revenue (unverified) as a base to build on it sounds even better. Both the traffic and the content need to be improved to realize the true value potential of course, but as a package deal this sounds like a winner at $150.

Finally kudos to bouncer and mjs for making this maketplace for .PRO a bit more liquid. Every single transaction helps to get people thinking. Maybe more of us will develop and market these domains and perhaps even be able to make a profit at it?

 

[bouncer]

Thank you for you share of thought bocanames, I sincerely hope that people will start seeing the true value of a .PRO domain name, it deserves all the attention!

And mjs, congratulations with the sale, Article.pro is SOLD to you for $150 USD.

Thank you everybody for sharing your thoughts.
