Hi, guys I am in the process of purchasing the domain, slimmingproducts.co.uk for £395 for an online slimming supplement business I am starting.

It was registered in 2004 but has no other history. Is it worthwhile in your opinion or should I get a brand new domain.I am purchasing it as I assume it would be better for SEO than a new domain.

It is a reasonable price, especially for an end user.

It is not that much better for SEO that it is old, it is just you never get keyword that good trying to register a new domain, since all keywords that good (and even much worse) are already taken

This is just my opinion (FWIW), but I just don't like the name.

It's too long and not organic in terms of search.

It's not brandable, memorable, or "kicky."

Even in .com, I probably would not pay more than reg fee.

Remember that I'm just one opinion--others may see something else.

Added: The GAKT tells a different story from my opinion: 1,000 Exact (high competition) and 18,000 (without quotations, medium competition).

So if you like the name and feel that it will add to your traffic, you may be right.

I still don't like it as a brand name, but it seems to me that building traffic is your main goal, so the domain is probably worth the price.

I wish you luck, especially if you can find a slimming product that really works without causing harm to the user.

I haven't found this product, and I have tried most of them!

I still find it very well suitable for the OP's purpose

I am in the process of developing an online store (UK) selling slimming supplements

Yes, I edited my post to reflect the GAKT numbers (which I should have done before hand).

Take it from a UK domainer although the price seems decent I personally will rather buy an LLL.co.uk ie slo.co.uk slimming products online or find something else catchy . Short domains are always the best way to go from a development stand point. "slimming products" google exacts even if you get all 720 users how many of these can you convert?

yeah right. The descriptive and matching domain names are made just to fool the search engines into sending all the exact match traffic to them?

For a internet user, it is far more natural to order a slimming product from slo.co.uk, rather than from slimmingproducts.co.uk?

On a serious note, the domain name matching exactly what business does, conveys trust and superiority as opposed to meaningless or loosely matching names.

slimmingproducts.co.uk is a great domain for you, unless you can get a comparable .com!
