    Default Collectables.in

    Ok guys, opinions on this one please.

    Do many people involve themselves in collecting hobbies in India? Coins, stamps, trading cards, even autos like old cars and bikes...etc....


    What do you think of this name??

    drop this name. its a typo so it lives in the shadow of the original one worder. Plus, we're dealing with .in so you're really being over bullish about its potential.

    With all due respect to Warbux, I beg to differ on this.

    Collectable is NOT a typo!

    Online free directory says "col·lect·a·ble (k -l k t -b l). adj. & n. Variant of collectible. collectable, collectible [kəˈlɛktəbəl]. adj. (Fine Arts & Visual Arts / Antiques) (of antiques, objets d'art, etc.)"

    This is what wikipedia says on collectable

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collectable

    A google search for "Collectables" gives 163 Million results

    There is already site in Uk specializing in collectables.

    collectables.co.uk/

    I will not drop this if I were you. Stick on Sedo.

    Good Luck!

    Average Monthly Search Stats - collectables
    Average Monthly Searches: 13,764,000

    Because its dot in i guess we need to look at the local searches.

    For a broad search the results are -
    Average Monthly Searches: 3,600
    Average Cost Per Click: $0 USD.
    Average Ad Competition: --

    For an exact search the results are -
    Average Monthly Searches: 73.
    Average Cost Per Click: $0 USD
    Average Ad Competition: --


    Considering the broad searches are nearly 50 times the exact searches people are looking for other words in conjunction with "collectables". I wonder what those words are

    Hmmmmm.....yes, I guess there any many type of collectables, but would need to determine exactly what type the indian customer is searching for and maybe I could develop a mini site around that type of particular collectable. What do you think guys?

    Why are you always talking about local searches.
    Go global:
    Collectables.in/London
    Collectables.in/Delhi
    Collectables.in/New-York
    whatever city you want, make a directory with Collectable stores...

    An .in is not only for India!!
    In google.de there is at page 2 Pos.15
    kreditkarten.in ( creditcards)
    22.600.000 Search Results - whoops
    i mean creditcards... if you can go to page 2 in this niche with an .in domain in a german market, what else niche can stop you BTW. this domain was on Page 1 some months ago, i think they just stopped backlinking, thats may the reason why they go to page 2

    Or go to ebay.in, or ebay.co.uk, ...com they have a categorie Collectables
    copy the cat and paste it in - there you go
