domain I'm New! Probably None Worth Anything! (Carhaggle.com)

CROSSCOUNTRYBLOG FLOORPRESS high $$ to low $$$

BRIEFWORKOUTS low $$$

CARHAGGLING not near as good as CARHAGGLE which is priced @ $2195 (a decent price IMHO)

Do you get much traffic/visitors on your typo's CRDEDIT CELLHPONE BANBK ?

Thanks, I really do appreciate your time.
Honestly, not very much at all. Only a couple people a day.

NIFTYMOVIES.(com)
Developed with a movie download site or review site and you will see $xxx

Read more and buy less for now. You have the right idea just tweak as you learn.
Good luck!

I know, I know, it is just so addicting. I will hold off and try to learn. Domaining is enough on my plate to learn right now, IDK if I could add developing. Thanks for the comment. I love receiving advice from the pros.

ULTIMATEBAIT.(com) - see this for fishing store, industry, brandable xx-xxx (enduser)
BRIEFWORKOUTS.(com) - clear, short and descriptive, great for online workout programs xxx-xxxx (enduser)

Thanks for the input. What is the best way to find an enduser? Should I just play the waiting game, start contacting businesses, or do I just need do develop it?

Develop if you want real cash but some of your domains might do well by contacting interested end users

eg.

FLOORPRESS - BRIEFWORKOUTS - CROSSCOUNTRYBLOG contact people already in the fitness sector who write blogs and content for websites alike

I'll give that a go. Thanks again for the great info.

Imo, IRS Lawyer is pretty good to hold but you have to be as clever as lawyer to sell it to one.

I am actually in the process of selling that one to a firm. Not for too much, but I'm still ecstatic for possibly making my second sell.

lawyer-dallas/ irs-lawyer are best of the lot,

imo.....

Good Luck!

Thanks for the input. I was hoping lawyer-Dallas would be good, because it's brought in the most traffic for sure.

Well done on a good start sghughey and all future success.

Best,
Paul

Are any of these worth anything? If so could you give me a range? Please feel free to only appraise 1 or all if you feel up to it.

First I really appreciate that you regged all dot com and did not go for any other extension.

Ok now this domains are not that great to sell. So better research more and buy domains.
Stay dot com and save money

Thanks guys, I have realized I need to research before buying. I'll continue to work on that before I make another purchase. I'm too scared to try any other extension yet haha.

Dot com's atleast have some resale value. So stay to dot com for now.
GoDaddy closeout and Expired Domains is good place to start your research.

REAL-ESTATELAWYERS.(com)

This is an example of where 2 hyphens would be better than 1.

Peace,
Cyberian

I think niftymovies.com and ultimatebait.com are your best bets, as adult sites.

Hope you don't go too low. It might be hyphenated, but there would be a few law firms running a ppc campaign for that keyword that would like to have that domain as a landing page.

Way more support from this community than I was expecting. I am trying to soak all the suggestions in. The hyphen game seems a little rich for my blood. I am going to stay away if I can ever sell these ones. I am also going to stay away from the adult domains. No judgments just personal preference. I appreciate every person who takes the time to give this little noob some advice. Thanks All!!!

Wow my first post in 7 years!

I don't think you made as many mistakes as you think.

LAWYER-DALLAS.(com) Good term to build a affiliate lead page. It would take some seo but could generate $$$$
CARHAGGLING.(com) I actually quite like this one for a brandable.
FLOORPRESS.(com) This is a body building exercise so again a landing page SEO'd along with something like equipment and video affiliates.
ULTIMATEBAIT.(com) Again would be a great brandable. I would google the term and see if anyone is using it. Check for Tm's and if someone is using it and not Tm'd email them. Somebody mentioned adult but you have to have huge traffic to make money in adult these days.
BRIEFWORKOUTS.(com) Good brandable.
CHEAPOBOATS.(com) Again a good brandable
IRS-LAWYER.(com) Same as dallas lawyer above
CRDEDIT.(com) no
BANBK.(com) no
CELLHPONE.(com) Straight redirect to an affiliate to take advantage of the typo traffic.
COWPO.(com) no. (maybe value as a 5 letter.)
CROSSCOUNTRYBLOG.(com) Hiking, biking etc travel blog. I like it.
NIFTYMOVIES.(com) Good brandable
TALENTEDSURGEON.(com) I can't make my mind up on this one
LAW-U.(com) no
CHEAPCARINSURANCEESTIMATE.(com) Longtail? I'm not sure of the search volume
RICHARDSONPERSONALINJURY.(com) no unless you know an injury attorney named Richardson. Do a search and email them all if you find any 2-3k
REAL-ESTATELAWYERS.(com) As someone else said two hyphens are better than one.

You'd be lucky to sell the hyphenated or ones marked no. I would concentrate on developing the hyphens and drop the no's.

The brandables may be difficult to market unless someone is using the term and hasn't tm'd it. Otherwise you can wait to be approached or actively look for buyers looking for domains in that field and offer it. The brandables could be anywhere from $500 & up but I would certainly ask for a lot more for them 5-15,000. They can negotiate you down but surpisingly it puts more value in the purchasers mind if they think they negotiated a bargain or paid a lot of money for the domain. Offering them dirt cheap is the worst mistake because you create the impression of low or no value and then who really wants it.

DropWizard you're awesome. Thanks for taking the time for such an elaborate comment. I really am going keep this advise in mind as I move forward. Thanks again, you might have saved my domaining career.

LOL saving fair maidens is all in a days work

Seriously, I thought you were beating yourself up a little too much over your choices and really some of them weren't just all that bad.

First off I'm not a huge fan of brandables so the fact I liked some of yours is a good thing.

Secondly I don't know what research criteria you mentioned but I look for fairly solid business terms that indicate "taking action", daily direct searches, minimum $1 adword ppc prices and I put the term in google and see if anyone is actually advertising for it.

I put the term in two ways, one just as is and the other with quotation marks. Google may tell you the ppc prices are xx but that can be old info so I check to see if someone is still doing the adverts.

Google will also tell you how many responses entering the term gets so it indicates how many sites are using it. Obviously more is better although a weak response to a great term can indicate low competition and an opportunity.

I also look for CTR (click thru rates) as it tells me how effective the "take action" phrase is. I look for 3-10% ctr as it indicates people are responding to it. Anything less I don't consider worth it unless the ppc is extremely high (legal for instance)

So for instance I would take killbedbugs.com over bedbugphotos.com as the first is a take action and the second is research. (example only I didn't check these)

Market Samurai (no connection) used to be a fabulous tool for the above and is still good. There may be other tools someone else can recommend for research.

Good luck!
