domain single word .com value?

[estibot.com]

Hi All

I'm wondering: most single-word .coms are already taken, for type-in dictionary type traffic I guess. Is any single word .com of some value, even the more obscure words?

Thanks for any input

This actually belongs in Domain Name Discussion seeing as you're not requesting an appraisal on a domain you currently own.. but to answer your question, in a word, no.. not all single word dictionary words are worth regging, particularly the obscure ones.

A lotta words with a suffix like --ly, --ing etc. are generally bad... the only good ones with the suffixes were taken years ago.

Most obscure words are worthless. The ultimate question is whether you think you could develop a site around the word, and still have credibility with your users.

I think the bottom line for most of us is marketability.. is the word one around which you easily 1) develop a site, and 2) expect a reasonable amount of revenue, is the question you should ask yourself. Even if you don't intend to develop yourself, you have to speculate with the end user in mind...
