Short Acronyms and End-Users Questions

[bleedx2]

Hey guys,

I have several domains that, in my eyes, have end user potential. I guess the first two off the top of my head that I own are YYWI.com and DESS.com.

First off, with dess.com, there are companies out there with DESS as their company name (dess.com.tw, dess.com.au, dess.com.my, and like 20 more - I don't have the list here at work) and I didn't know the best way to approach all of these companies if I were to.

Second, as opposed to dess, I also own YYWI.com, which if you type in YYWI, is a wireless store in California, who is growing quite a bit in size in the last few years - Yakety-Yak Wireless, Inc. Their main homepage is www.yakitup.com, but they also own yaketyyakwireless.com, and several other domains that redirect.

As a relative domain noob, I was hoping that several more experienced domains could tell me if there is any strategy behind approaching end-users. Maybe I shouldn't even approach them at all?

:td:

Thanks,

- Greg

First off... DESS is an absolute gem

With that many potential endusers out there for DESS, I'd wait for them to come to you (and I'm 100% sure it WILL happen on this one).

With YYWI, I say do what you have to do... Not much to lose on this one regardless of what the outcome is.

Thanks for the help guys first off.

Second, I have dess.com currently as a very boring page. It pretty much says "Dess.com is currently for sale - if interested, contact [email protected]". I don't have it parked because I want to be straightforward about it, and I have Google Analytics on there. Getting 1000 uniques a month, about 40% from China, 40% from USA and Canada (dess.ca may be helping), and a good amount from Qatar and Dubai (dess = doha english speaking school - hence dess.org) and India (probably from dess.net).

Is this a fair strategy? Should I change the landing page to a site more like my www.yardcrashers.com ?

Again, thanks for the responses.
