domain templates.com and templat.es

[JAugusto]

Now that templates.com sold for $450,000, how much do you think my domain could be worth while?

Templat.es

http://www.dnjournal.com/domainsales.htm
"Tessoro Media Limited reluctantly let go of one of their most prized possessions this week. It took $450,000 to persuade the company to part with a real gem, Templates.com, in a private transaction. Their return on investment certainly must have eased the pain of letting go though. They had acquired the domain for $43,000 just two years ago. Try getting that kind of return with your passbook savings account! The sale ranks among the 10 biggest transactions reported so far in 2006."

Nice domain. I'm not sure of the keyword value, search engines will just look at it as "Templat" so that would bring the value down IMHO. I like the name hack though, and I'll put it at mid $xxx

Unless "templat" actually means "template" in Spanish (?), in which case it could well reach mid $xxxx to low $xx,xxx

Unfortunately I dont see that Templat.es could be worth any way was much at Templates.com. Simply because it is such a generic .com domain.

However, with some development I can see that it could grow in value. People liked the way that Del.icio.us have made such a success, but I feel that Del.icio.us is a one of a kind site.

I would say that it is worth Low $XX without development.

I bet that you could have got the Spanish version of 'Templates' in '.co.es' and it would be worth more.

At least you dont have to type .com at the end... e.g. http://templat.es I would say join the Template Monster affiliate program - http://www.templatemonster.com/ -
Do a low budget 10 cents per click adwords promotion, submit to search engines and internet directories and earn from commisions.
