Value added .be's

[Reppy]

I think before you can think about selling a .be or even asking for an appraisal, you should add some value to it.

And by that I mean development.

Do something with it, create a site, even if it is just a demonstration of what you think the site should be doing for the end-user.

Create traffic for it. How? I don't know, I'll leave that up to you

But before you go hawking your .be in the hope that it will turn a quick profit either have it set up and running as you envision it, or be able to show some kind of traffic stats.

Because a .be is nothing like a .com. There are millions of people out there who have no idea. It has a recognition factor of 0. And it cost $0. And if anyone makes more than that then they will be an exception which proves the rule.

The worst thing I've seen is that most of the people are buying English keywords, ending up with a name like casino-your-free dot be. These are truly useless. Keep in mind that the official languages in Belgium are Dutch, French and German. Choosing good words in those languages can give more potential, IMO.

I've got STOPPER.BE which brings some more or less good trafic. And I didnt anything to attract the trafic. The domain works itself.
