ws domains

[zzz]

If there were some single generic words available to reg in the .ws, would they be worth the reg free? These are words where all the top level domains are taken.

Just wondering what people's opinions are on that.

Thanks

Might be worth mid XX-low XXX depending on the word.

Do you think that they would receive any type in traffic?

extremely minimal.. not enough popularity yet, all the good ones are probably parked, not developed. I have some, but don't expect much out of .ws at all.

thanks for the info guys

I actually found a great .ws name available today..i wonder if we're thinking of the same one!

 

[zzz]

Probably. You'll probably end up getting it since I'm not into reselling (yet).

If you do get it, I'd like to see what traffic it would get since it is a .ws extension!

 

[Rockefeller]

well, we don't even know if its the same domain.

Will one of you buy the name you've got in mind, then you can say what it is...

Most .ws names need to be looked at for development only. Don't expect any url bar type ins, and don't care. Go for search bar type ins and put that site up. You're buying the keyword string, and a smaller part of the implied "website" for ws. Start thinking that .ws MEANS website, meaning you need to put up a website or have a keyword in demand enough that someone else will absolutely need to put up a website, before buying the domain.

In that context, ws can be a good buy. Some are using .ws sites to make a few $x,xxx per month. Domainers need to think outside the url bar traffic only mentality. Regging a domain for $10 and getting $50 on a sale is NOT a bad thing. Putting a site on it and making more money is also NOT a bad thing.

Yep, I'm talking to myself as well.
