closed LesbianRights(.)org

Many activist groups exist concerning this topic, especially amidst much adieu about same-sex marriage.

Thoughts in respect to the value of this name would be greatly appreciated!

I think it'll better off if you add the keyword "gay" in front of it.

i.e GayLesbianRights(dot)org

Not exactly sure bout that, I could be wrong

Very good point. Though three-word keyword combinations make me uneasy in many cases.

Though activist groups for just lesbian rights, exclusive of other aspects of the LGBTQ community, do exist, who I was going for as an end user.

It's an increasingly hot topic, in respect to it becoming legalized, so I'm taking a more passive approach to the sale of this name.

Any other thoughts about the value?

Hi, Maxwell

I think LesbianRights.org is better than 3- or 4-word variants. Also, the lesbian community and the gay community have--in spite of a healthy amount of cooperation and shared initiatives between them--little overlap in population (it's a chromosome thing); and lesbian women have some concerns that are uniquely their own.

What I'm about to say may paint me in a bad light, I don't know; but I hope not. I've already searched for the .com versions of these domains as part of a bulk lookup some time ago, and naturally I found them registered. Seeing this thread moments ago, however, spurred me to reinvestigate my old lists with the .org extension. So I just registered 2 of the domains discussed above (along with a bunch more from my list that were not discussed here)--specifically, LGBTrights,org, GayAndLesbianRights,org, and GayLesbianRights,org.

Of these, I would say that LesbianRights,org (yours) and LGBTrights,org (mine) are the only two that I would make the public face of a website. The other 2 have some back-end SEO potential at best and would have to be sold with a better domain as a bundle.

I would definitely aim for $XXXX and not settle for less than $1000 on LesbianRights,org.

Hopefully you'll see my registration of LGBTrights,org as a gesture of cooperation rather than theft, because we could easily market the two together. Really I didn't know how long this domain would remain available, and I kicked myself for not running the .org search months before.

P.S. I would say LesbianRights,org is equally if not more valuable than LesbianRights,com. The .org seems to carry moral weight. I suspect an end user would attempt to register the .org first and even bypass the .com, although I could be wrong.

Great registrations - particularly for lgbtrights! You are painted in no bad light as far as I'm concerned, very diligent domaining on your part.

I wouldn't discount the other two either. Of the group, lgbtrights is the best of the bunch, but you could have a good cross-sell opportunity for gayandlesbianrights as well as gaylesbianrights.

For example, if someone emails you for lgbtrights and you can't come to terms with them, you may be able to offer one of the others at a lesser price.

This allows you to take advantage of something very valuable (that being an interested buyer) having opportunities available at a variety of levels of funding. While this increases your initial investment, it also improves your chances of converting an inquiry if you have names of a similar nature which might be worth significantly more.

Also, re: the use of the TLD - I was thinking the same thing, but the .com is worth no small amount. It's been registered since 2001, so it's been held onto for 11 years now.

I wouldn't mind getting my hands on it, but it's nothing I'd dedicate resources to now. I made a $62 investment in this name. That means my maximum liability is $62, and my maximum gain is limitless. Whereas if I was to invest $xxx in the .com, my maximum liability is much higher, despite a nearly equal possibility for return.

While most play to win, you still have to acknowledge that you stand a chance of losing. What will make you as little of a loser as possible, is mitigating just how much will be lost in the event you do lose.
