domain Sof.as - Brandable Hack in Major Niche

[sashas]

I've had this one for a while.

Sof.as

Really brandable hack in a major niche (furniture). You could easily build out an entire store on a domain like this. Hacks have become pretty popular in the last two years.

What do you think?

Sashas, I think you have a GREAT hack there. Of course, since search engines aren't totally hack friendly, you will need some good SEO to get indexed highly on "sofas" searches. The search volume for the term is WAY beyond what I though it would be (673K EXACT GMSV for "sofas").

Nice hack, short domain, nice search volume. Nice one!!

Kinda doesn't make much difference on exact search for "sofas" in this case though seeing as search engines don't recognise the domain name as that and simply as "sof"...

I do think it's stilla nice hack though but I only think it's worth money if developed.

Well, hacks are bought pretty much for branding. Blo.gs, Del.icio.us, etc. were all basically branding vehicles..if you wanted search engine traffic, you would be much better off buying a keyword rich name - which isn't exactly very good branding-wise (like if Apple was named "high end computers and music players")

I like it. I have failed however to see that they have come more popular in the past two years. I have hacks such as thin.gs pizz.as and santacla.us and am still basically sitting on them and awaiting the day.
