Big domain dilemma

[QuotePort]

Hey,

Just before you get the wrong impression, this is only for business-purposes.

So the .xxx domains are to be released soon.

I have found one that's available, its a short (v.popular), 8-letter, adult-based word. I can't tell you for obvious reasons.

It's possible that this domain will be worth a hell of a lot, but I'm not sure.

It costs 79.99 to register it for a year, and if it isn't worth a lot I'm out of pocket.

What do you guys think?

Would love to know what the word could be
£80 is one hell a lot of money to risk to see if you can sell it in the future, I personally wouldn't bother, if no one is interested then you will be down lots!

I think I can guess what it is :rolleyes:

I think any domain like that wil soar in vaule, you know what them sites are like :rolleyes:

I would go for it tbh

It's not a body part if that's what you're thinking!

To put it in perspective, the .com version at the moment is stated to be worth around $23,000

Hmm...

If you want to earn very good money, then it must have very good content and the content has to be fixed to the domain name. If the website isn't related to the domain name, users won't be coming back. If the content is brilliant, then you have to SEO it very well, because most website owners look at the page rank, don't go via the black hat system, go through the legit way. Otherwise you will be blacklisted on search engines.

Also advertise, make sure you're advertising it and making money from it, and always update the website. Another key thing, is to keep the website running for a minimum of year if you want good cash, then when it has reached your target, then sell it. Value it, keep everything into detail and make sure you'll leave with a good profit.

I'll be purchasing this domain to sell on as soon as they are released.

It will be an adult-based domain.

These are the stats for the ".com" version of what I'm considering,

Valuation: $23,000
Frequency: 8,900,000
Searches: 74'000
Traffic: 154'000

Now I've found another that's available.

.com stats

Valuation: $139,000
Frequency: 100'000'000
Searches: 300'000
Traffic: 2'800'000

Surely this is too good to be true...

[Mark]

Go for it in that case!

It's not worth if if you're going to purchase and sell it straightaway, you will make a lose. Especially if you don't develop it.
