[QUOTE="Ian King, post: 2236544, member: 322951908"] I've been running a local town website in Wales since 2000 and last year I bought several "wales." domain names (wales.xyz, wales.guru, wales.photography, wales.photos, wales.zone etc.) Some I was planning to sell and others to make into small sites. As I didn't really have the money to get all these, I didn't renew some, including wales.webcam, wales.camera, wales.graphics, wales.camp, wales.farm, but tried to keep the most popular ones. So those were a waste of money. This year I secured about twenty ".wales" domains and ended up getting some nice ones, including music.wales, sports.wales, health.wales, shop.wales, shops.wales, website.wales. I think the .wales domains would be good for Google searches as I think it’s one of only three suffixes that are a country in full, ".africa" being the only other one I can think of (not including ".cymru" (Welsh for Wales), and I have music.cymru too). Now I have more domains than I know what to do with and need to make some money in revenue or by selling a few. I tried a SEDO holding page, but that got very little. So at the moment, I have the top ones with basic pages and others linked to my town website (now dolgellau.wales with Google ads). I also have most listed for sale on SEDO at their recommended price (some for more). However, none are making anything. I wondered if anyone knows the best way to make a little money on them and if you think I was right in buying them or dropping the ones I did. Oh, and here's another question; What's more valuable; wales.photography or photography.wales? …Ian [/QUOTE]
