Does anyone think either of these domain names are worth much more than the NIC fees?

I suppose the URL would come up well in search engines but would depend on the content....worth £5 of whatever they cost I suppose.

not if your flogging accounts software :rolleyes:

yes they have a small value as SE see "-" as spaces

searchs 33.000 for "seo company"

3.700 for "seo consultants"

They're left-overs from years ago when my company used to do a lot of SEO. They popped up for renewal the other day - I'd forgotten we had them.

I would think the www.seo-company.co.uk (http://www.seo-company.co.uk) could be worth a few bob to the righ person.

Post them on Sedo and see whether you get any offers.

That'll answer your question straight away. As with anything in life they are only worth what someone would pay...

They'll definitely be worth more than the NIC fees Duane but you need to let the most likely interested parties know about them. I'm not sure if Sedo sees many seo folk but it's worth a try and likewise, what about making some of the seo forum community aware of them. New seo'ers are popping up everywhere these days so you might find lots of interest. Good luck with them anyway.:)

DuaneJackson

9th July 2007, 18:07

Ta, I'll stick them on Sedo and see what happens.

www.ukstartups.com (http://www.ukstartups.com) is another domain I have, It currently redirects to another site - but I might see if the domain itsself attracts any attention

Try getting them appraised on DNForum.com

Their appraisal link goes through to the parent site and wants $49. Is that what you're talking about?

JustOneUK

No, just join the forum and post them for sale in the forum named..
Domains for Sale (Domain Sales) - Offers Wanted (http://www.dnforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=283)

just write that you have a reserve but any reasonable offer considered.

Forget sedo - you should be able to get more than the NIC fees for seo-company.co.uk. I'd certainly consider buying it if I want to push on SEO referrals from Google, especially as Google is giving a lot of weight to keyword domains at present. I'm sure another SEO company would consider buying it for a few hundred or even a few thousand.

2c.

Thanks Brian. Where would you suggets I market it to get the best price if not on Sedo?

You could try the domains for sale forum over at forums.digitalpoint.com
Someone will give you a figure for value if you ask.

OK, make me an offer:

for seo-company.co.uk (https://www.sedo.co.uk/search/details.php4?domain=seo-company.co.uk&tracked=&partnerid=&language=e)

or seo-consultant.co.uk (https://www.sedo.co.uk/search/details.php4?domain=seo-consultant.co.uk&tracked=&partnerid=&language=e)

Both are good domains which you could probably get a bit of cash for. As you would be targeting SEO companies to buy this I would probably try and build up a website on these for a couple of months first. If you can gain a couple of hundred links to the site the domain should become more valuable to buyers.

Thanks for the suggestion Kev. i don't have time to build anythign on them - to busy with other ventures.

So I guess whoever buys them could build something and then resell at a nice profit.

100% it depends on what you put in it and quality of links you get (much like any other domain). Add good content, get good links, and the keywords in those urls would give you another:

1. Boost in serps
2. Increased Clickthrough (probably)
3. Increase chance of anchor text links when people just use your url to link to you

DuaneJackson

14th July 2007, 01:44

Thanks sandpetra. So you don't think the actual domain names themselves have any inherent value?

In the end it's all about the content and the links that link to it (and from it ;) ). Just putting up a keyword rich domain name isn't going to beat off competition from a site without the keywords in the domain that has been heavily search engine optimized and marketed. :)

But having these keyword rich domains if you are going to heavily market the site could be very useful indeed.

So in that case, they do have value even if I put nothing on the sites.

They'd be of value to someone that dod want to heavily market a site.

"So in that case, they do have value even if I put nothing on the sites."

er... sorry... no - (I've had a few beers! - maybe I'm not making the point clearly here).

Put these domains up with no related content and you'll get nowhere.
Put these sites up with related content you'll get somewhere
Put these sites up with related content and get hundreds of good links and you'll get good results.
If it was as easy as just buying domains, there wouldn't be any need for seo's, would there? :)

With any site it depends on the content on the page and the quality of the links that point to it. These domains can be easily beaten by other sites, without as well formed domains, that have been "optimised / marketed". :)

What I will say is if you intend to promote these sites heavily over the next year with good related content and excellent links, you'll have an excellent chance of good serps (but you'd have that anyway with GC/EL!) - these domains might see you get above an otherwise similarly optimised competitor, but if you rely on the domain name alone for ranking, it won't work (unless these domains have been registered for years and have a lot of backlinks alrady) :)

sandpetra

14th July 2007, 02:53

Actually I've just read your post again - and yes of course, they are worth "something" to somebody, as is everything, I was focusing on wether or not they were useful to you with no content on them. :)

You never know though, you might get to the top of MSN! :)

Very good domains obviously can have great value, seo.com selling for $5m last month is a good example, but if your selling a domain with good search rankings and backlinks it's bound to be more attractive to the buyer.

Keyword domains have a HUGE boost in the SERPs at present.

The only trouble is, the site needs to be relatively established to do so - Duane, if you'd have had a site - no matter how basic - associated with these domain, then they would have been worth a lot more, as less work would have been required to develop them.

Maybe try somewhere like forums.searchenginewatch.com for a more targeted market, or else the marketplace at Sitepoint.

DuaneJackson

14th July 2007, 16:19

Thanks all. I have posted on a couple of forums and currently have them pointed to Sedo.

Assuming I don't get an attractive offer for them anytime soon I'll eventually find the time to put something on them. I've actually got quite a neat idea on what could be done with them, I just don't have the time to do it!

another SEO 'asset' I'm looking to get rid of is info-x.co.uk - a good 5,000 or so indexed pages, about 10 years old, lots of traffic (although not exactly highly targetted)

Post these on Acorndomains.co.uk for an appraisal for free. Don't waste money on getting appraisals - they are usually way off. I would say both, without content are worth around the £100 mark to a reseller and maybe more to an end-user if you can find one.

I do some domain broking so if you are interested in selling names let me know and I will ask around in case anybody is interested in them.

PS. I started using the Kashflow software a month or so back - great job!

Cheers

Stephen.
