[Hitbones]

i have this Domain
ThewalkingDead.us

1 Million Monthly Search from People based in U.S


How Much Does it worth ?

 

[Hitbones]

please ?

The .us extension never really took off and not sure why someone would want to buy the domain off of you unless they were wanting to do a fan site. It would maybe have some value if it was a .com, but the .us hurts it.

 

[Hitbones]

us is for Targeting United State people ...

So Google Will Put the US extension the highest priority to the people who searches for this keyword in united state .
if the site have a good off page seo and on page seo ..

Than you can rank 2-4 top searches for the keyword .. the walking dead .. if someone from united state searched for that ..

and the searches are More than 1 Million ... so as you said you can make it a fan page and also bring atleast 700k Monthly uniqe users ! ..

you can start also to sell T-shirts for the walking dead fan people based in US !


So the US as you said .. Does not hurt !

Never heard google doing that. Have any articles that back that up, or did I mess something of the years I've been out of the domain biz?

.. you missed Something Big man .. Something Called SEO .. it Loves the Geo Targeting Domains .

If you had the domain thewalkingdead.xyz is the million searches relevant. Anyone can write the words ten times on one page. The dot us extension has best chance of any of the new extensions as is country based. I believe you can get traffic and obtain sales over next few years but your already running out of time season six and has to fizzle out soon. I believe low $xxx with a good chance of making back the profits for buyer which still doesn't make it worth more. They will work hard for their traffic like everyone else.

It's not that simple... for the domain to rank it has to be developed anyway. ANY domain can be developed. But what is the value of your domain name undeveloped ? This is the question.
Rather than buy this domain from you, I could find another suitable domain in .us (or .com) and be done with it. There is no compelling reason why somebody would want to buy this domain from you IMO.

 

[wakeh]

Maybe I'm wrong, but would this not harm your chances?

https://trademarks.justia.com/850/30/the-walking-dead-85030452.html

It highlights "Fan Club Services" under Goods & Services section.

Again, I could be wrong but even if you could just make a website, wouldn't this make it risky to monetize?

 

[Pandemic]

Beware of the NamePros Trademark police, lol. The only thing it would be good for is a fan page site like someone mentioned. Maybe put a forum or blog on it and have fun with it.

This is not true. Google will put the highest ranking website first. And while the TLD might have some bearing, it's not often it has much weight. Backlinks and SEO is the most important factors (usually).
https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/34432?hl=en

But now we're talking about SEO and pagerank and backlinks, and this is website value not "domain value" which you're here for.

If you read this:
https://blogs.bing.com/webmaster/2014/01/15/domain-name-importance-in-ranking/

Then consider that domain sales these days are a different beast to the past. People/businesses pay money for domain names because it's their name, or they want to brand it, or they like it, or it's snappy etc. Big sales are often very brand-able like single word .com (betting.com etc). And while your domain is very popular, that does not in itself make it worth a lot of money, I'm sorry to say.

and the searches are More than 1 Million

Yes but that doesn't mean they will go to your domain, you have to promote, and consider carefully the competition.
Searching Google for "the walking dead" the first 3 results are AMC site (PR6), Wikipedia (page rank infinity), and IMDB (PR5).



You should listen to others. With a bit of work, and possible small outlay, (but some time and effort either way) you might get low to mid $xxx, even high, but as it stands it's not worth much.
Consider anyone who might buy your domain could go register "thewalkingdead.site" right now for $10. And TBH I like .site version more than .us as it captures more potential audience (ie what about people in all countries other than US who watch walking dead?)

Good luck

You still did not get my point ...

if you were in United state ... Google will try to give you results based on your country .. not another country ....

if you for example searched for Web hosting ... Google will give you results based in your country ... the result will be much different from someone from UK searched for the same keyword you had searched for .

Explaining more :

you are from United state ... you searched for online shoes ...
Google will look for online shoes based in United state to give it to you ..

but Google will not know how to determine if the domain or site is united state based .. unless there is extinction tell it this ... for example . US

that's why when you try to register a domain with US or UK .. they will ask about your residence proof .
Because it has Value .

But it also can't be used for worldwide targets ... only local targets. ( country's, city's )
That the disadvantage of it .

So if someone from UK searched for the walking dead ... my site will never win against UK extinction no matter what !

this is called Local SEO .

 

[Hitbones]

Also local seo is easier than normal seo .

I can hit top 10 in United States based searches faster than any domains .

making this domain as a fan page selling shirts as extra is the main goal to make money .. with no issues .. guess why ? Who would not want to have a fans ?
as long as you don't show movies in it .. its clean . you can post funny memmes ..etc

Also go ask a seo expert about this and get back here .

You seem to think that .us TLD has some significant weight over everything else based on a search within the US, but it's not strictly true, there are many gTLDs, so you still have competition just like any other SEO battle. If this was not true then everyone would be buying .us and outranking their competitors as easily as you say.

Even unrelated sites and TLDs, such as a high ranking blog or news website having an article about the walking dead (etc). Having the .us does not make it any easier to out rank Wikipedia with its .org, or IMDB with its .com etc.

but Google will not know how to determine if the domain or site is united state based .. unless there is extinction tell it this ... for example . US

This is not true.
See here:
https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/62399?hl=en

Check the Geographic target checkbox and choose your country target. If you want to ensure that your site is not associated with any country or region, select Unlisted in the drop-down list.

Also local seo is easier than normal seo .

This depends on many factors - niche, competition, TLD, content. It's not that simple. A local shoe store is easier than global PC sales yes, but the walking dead is not a "local" niche, it's global in 126 countries. You should not be limiting your targeted audience to only US.



With your SEO knowledge, you should also know then that your .us cannot target other countries, which is a downside given the niche is a global TV show played in 126 countries!

If you use a country-coded domain, you won't be able to specify a geographic location.

Here's a good video from Matt Cutts (the horses mouth/Google Webmasters) talking about how Google limits country specific traffic:

But we digress again, as any domain name can be marketed and given SEO and backlinks, while the ability to do this does factor into a domain name's value, it's not the main reason a domain is worth money unless it already has lots of traffic from SEO etc. OR it has the potential for lots of traffic, and having a keyword rich domain does not simply mean it has lots of potential for traffic without lots of money spent on marketing, and all of this making it worthwhile buying that specific domain and not just another domain.


Simply put in your case, a domain name being about something popular does not in itself make it valuable, especially when it's not a .com.

[james haw]

I get what you are saying, but potential for development and SEO does not necessarily make a domain name valuable within the domain market.
Especially a competative market which will be short lived when the tv show ends. Spending money on seo and marketing and developing a site which competes with others is not worth the roi for the few years it'll be for.

That's just my humble and not highly experienced opinion. Lets wait to see what others say
