What would you pay for?

What would you pay for a one dictionary word domain (extension .co.uk), receiving between 400 and 500 unique visitors a month from type-in traffic only?

You're probably only saying so cause you own it

Sadly not, but going by similar style names etc that price would not be miles off assuming normal sale.

If you can sneek in with £500 and nab it you will be turning a decent profit on the flip!

That's a good amount of unique visitors for type-in traffic only. I usually only buy new domains or really awesome dropped domains.
I've been burned too many times by people that I just wouldn't trust the other party.
The fact that the domain is a .co.uk domain doesn't help though. I'm not into anything but .com, .net and .info.

.co.uk helps it alot in my view

Likewise I think .info are complete junk names, but hey it seems different people think different things :blink: In terms of this thread I do not see how .co.uk is an issue at all, but I can see how it would be a major benefit

I would consider your view a bit biased Even your name on the forum includes the .co.uk

I hardly hide it

The point is, for a .co.uk name the extension does not hurt it at all, as was posted:

It is a common theme on NamePro's that people comment outside their knowledge area giving incorrect advice and or 'valuations'.

Generally speaking I try not to comment when I do not have a solid foundation for what I say and I wish others would do the same

Traffic can be bought now a day, dictionary domain names are not rare, there's plenty of them. I would be very careful when buying traffic names, it could be a seller's strategy to hit and run, basically pay for traffic with clicks and sell it at 10X or 5X revenue.

Imagine, if you bought traffic from 10 different companies at 20/mo, there'll be clicks alright. But once the service is sold to you (buyer) traffic might dry up.

I have another question for all you experts, as I am still undecided on the purchase of this domain...

Basically, I own the .me version of the domain, which I have developped into a full site.
If I were to purchase the .co.uk , should I redirect it to the .me site, or should I transfer the whole site to the .co.uk domain (given that the .me has just been launched, it isn't getting any significant traffic yet so this could easly be done...)
