Hi Guys.

I got both these names at reg fee. I will be developing them into new penny auction sites. Please give me any ideas on value and appraisels on the domain name and with the websites if you want to take a look, the .co.uk is up and running (just needs a bit of tweaking before official launch)

After hearing the domains, mid-high $$$

After looking @ the site, low $$$

Horrible concept IMO, but good names. Also Rofl @ your logo.

Hi NUDU

Thanks for your honest opinion. Can you elaborate on why you think it is a horrible concept? It is a similar type of site to swoopo, which is a very polular type of auction site, and makes a lot of money

Well firstly your logo is bad. I personally look at the logo as one of the first things, and it does a lot to persuade my view as to the value of the actual site itself.

Also, there are many sites like that on the internet as you mentioned, and to get a site where people actually pay you money, especially when you're not selling something outright, but allowing them to bid, is hard. People have a lot of skepticism nowadays about sites like that.

So, as the site itself, I doubt strongly you'll be able to build it unless you have great resources to invest already. If so, it may be worth investing in, as the domain is good, but the better thing to do in my opinion is to sell the domains, as they are good keywords.

The point being that one who invests in these types of things in the age post-ebay, requires a lot of $$ to establish brand trust and brand awareness, with the focus needing to be on the former, but to which the latter does add.

I also think it may be better if you increase the max bid increment to more than a penny, lest you be ripped off by snipers ;) If you are offering your own inventory especially, tehre is huge potential for failure here, which is why I devalued the name + the site as opposed to just the domain name.

If it were me I would thank my lucky stars I got such a good domain name, I would recognize I have no where near the resources to pull this sort of thing off, put it up for sale, and hope that something I'm very interested in comes my way that I do have the resources to develop.

Don't be surprised if you get a low $$$$ offer as well. Its a pretty good name, and the fact you've got the package of two of the most recognizable TLDs to two of the biggest markets (the world, and the UK, lol) makes it worth even more.

Good luck

Here are the traffic stats for the past 2 months for prizeauctions.co.uk (the one I have developed into the website).

http://www.iofin.com/prizeauctionsstats.jpg

Just to let you know, I own the .com .co.uk .net .org and .info so it is fully branded.

The site has already reached a rank of 840,534 on Alexa.com in only 2 months and is currently getting around 40% of it's traffic from natural searches and 32% from type in traffic. I do no PPC advertising, and only have forum signatures on various sites making up the balance of the traffic.

Taking the traffic into account, any new appraisals on the domain package?

WOW you have some genuine winners. Amazing traffic in only 2 months and I agree with nudu that you have built a brand by acquiring the main tlds. If I owned these I would not sell but if you want to sell I am interested in buying. Apprasial with the traffic considered at least low xxxx up to mid xxxx

BTW I like your logo from your avatar here and would consider changing your site logo to that IMO

Good luck with the site
