One of the things that many domainers (Newbies and Oldtimers alike) struggle with everyday is whether to renew or drop certain domains in their portfolio. Now I am not talking about domains that are producing revenue or the top single word dictionary .coms that we all know are keepers, but more like the average domains that are in the iffy category both as far as resale or development.

Although opinions are subjective, but if several people said that a certain domain should be dropped then that might be a good indicator as to how to sort out one’s portfolio (the same is true if the majority recommended keeping a certain domain).

Here you can post up to 25 of your domains at a time (one batch per day) in order to see what the general consensus is regarding them. Please note that this is not an appraisal thread and so don’t expect to get lengthy evaluations for your domains, this is where other members will give a quick and simple thumbs up or down in the form of Keep or Drop (or Unsure if they don't know about a certain domain) for each one of your domains based on their experience and gut feeling (although they can go into more details at thier option if they wish to do so). It is possible that a domain that everyone said to drop might be sold later on by someone else to a big company, but you must accept such exceptions when considering acting on the opinions that are given on your domains.

Important: To make it easier on everyone please use capital letters to distinguish where each word begins in your domain. Example: NewYorkCityRE.com


Please note: as an advisor you are required to conduct yourself in an honest, unbiased, and professional manner and you are bound to put the best interest of the person that you are helping above all else.

The more opinions given the better this is going to work, so please don’t hesitate to help your fellow domainers by responding to their posts (your opinion matters even if others have already given their opinion).

PS: please address each domain individually (if you don’t want to address a certain domain you can leave that one blank).


Hope you all find this thread useful. :)

Thanks to all who have contributed. I appreciated all your comments, and considered renewing the domains you all said to keep. Just to let you know, I let them all drop, because I had better domains to renew at the time, and I'm wanting to trim down my portfolio. Here's my next 20.

tourismbritain.com
bmwweb.com
babesclub.com
org-names.com
ws-names.com
nameblvd.com
dotjazz.com
myrna.org
lllldomain.com
amfat.com
oilhost.com
wildhouses.com
oversellers.com
urldom.com
hotmascots.com
bidsbiz.com
metalhost.com
newsartist.com
aftermarketdepot.com
vegaswebsites.com

It might be best to wait until you get at least five responses to your post so that you can have a better idea as to what the general consensus is about your domains. If five or more members said that a certain domain should be kept (or dropped) then that can give you a better idea as to what to do with that domain.

The more people that respond the better this is going to work. Everyone’s opinion is valuable and can help others make a better decision.

MYRNA is a girls name with about 9.5M searches. I just renewed it. Thanks.

Well I guess it works both ways, but when I said to keep this domain it was because RNA is somewhat of a medical term and it goes okay with .org , a few more opinions from the other members here would certainly be helpful in this case. :)

PS: It would be great if everyone starts using capital letters to distinguish where each word begins in their domain.

My RNA never crossed my mind. This reminds me of a domain I picked up (carkansas). I was viewing it as See Arkansas, but then sold it to a dealership in Kansas.

Anyway, I do like the My RNA approach and it seems to support what this thread is about...The value of having different eyes on something.

OK. I also renewed dotjazz.com. But I'm still dropping tourismbritain.com and babesclub.com because they are not niches I have a particular interest in.

Here are my last few domains I'd like an opinion on.... for the moment.

packtours.com
comqa.com
ukpros.com
firstvodka.com
cutey.org
wetourist.com
bobe.org

That's about $190 dollars down the drain, buddy. Ditch 'em all.

ukpros can qualify for further lottery renewal.

@verbster - I don't find anything compelling to keep from your list. Also, personally I don't like 3 syllable domains in general.

@alien51 - ukpros sounds like uk .... I'm not sure somebody would pick that to name their business or website. Also domains with uk in the .com gtld are always a bit hit or miss. Why do you think this one qualifies for a lottery renewal?

@stub

"pros" to me would refer to "professionals" (plural form). It could be a website for freelancers, contractors, suppliers, etc. or any business entity offering such services.

In short: could be a better alternative for someone who does not like getting a .PRO domain.

I will more then likely let Aitle.com drop when it runs out.
Seems to be connected to an organization and a last name.

Or, if they want it, they can have it. No use for it.
