I think there is a big difference between for example the hyphenated "En-Route.mobi" domain in your signature and a three letter acronym. Both I think are close to reg fee right now, but L-L-L.coms have a lot more potential. Just the rise in prices for L-L.coms that you are investing in as well have 10 folded in the last 18 months.
![Eek! :eek: :eek:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I would like to think that En-Route.mobi, being an active site with a few thousand in traffic per month since launched and generating revenue, is worth a little more than reg fee.
Gosh, I hope so. :disappointed:
Now I am a little confused about the hyphens! Shouldn't surprise anybody who knows me though.:lol:
I have just regged a few more (I know there will be money at the end of the rainbow anyway), and amongst them I managed to reg he following:
4-0-3.net
4-0-3.info
4-0-4.net
4-0-4.info
Now my idea is to actually develope the two .info's and point the .nets at them. How do the search engines read these numbers? I tried typing them into an Overture system but the results seemed to be meaningless with the hyphens or with just spaces!
Just wondering if anybody could give me an answer?
Last part first...Overture is worthless. US results last posted are January 2007. It might be better to put it in google, check number of returns, and look at the first page for results.
Other extensions. In my opinion, this is where you have to be a little more selective and picky or it may just be a waste of time.
I think in this case, the number actually has to have meaning or some current legitimacy to it.
403 is a common form of the retirement plan 403b. There is possible traffic for this. I was fortunate to be able to reg a 403-b domain and it does get traffic.
404 is a common server error message. Again, potential traffic.
As for anything else, it will be a crap shoot unless it is already in usage.
An example is 2-1-2.org. 212 is the area code for Manhattan and Wall Street and I believe the former WTC. I regged this and it does get traffic and CTR.
I was also lucky enough to catch 8-8-8.info on a drop not too long ago and it gets very good traffic and CTR.
So if there is some usage currently and a meaning that can be associated with the domain rather than just regging for the sake of regging, then it would stand a better chance.
Yes, I have some in .net and perhaps in .us as well and these also get traffic and CTR.
The same is true for the L-L-L in other extensions. It may not be prudent to reg simply for the sake of regging.
But for 403 and 404, these might have some life in them.
