Traffic is a big bonus but the name is the kingpin.

Killer name and good traffic = $$$$$$ - traffic still seems to be very heavily weighted via .co.in in my portfolio.

@OzDomainer --> Nice Post

While you always run the risk of being challenged or even losing a name by INDRP, do remember that INDRP decisions can be challenged in court... a lot of the decisions still have disputes pending. If you're expecting $2k for a domain, you can afford to fight for it, costs $100 to file a civil suit.

The annual advertising budget of Indian companies was around 20,000 crores or $4 billion. Granted only about 50% of that is organised sector. But most top companies have multi-million dollar budgets. If any of these companies understands the value of generics and wants to acquire one for authentic use, $2k or even $20k, is really not an issue. They spend that much on entertaining clients.

Now for the most important bit, not everything is going to be worth holding long term, so be very aware whether you're renewing something that will have higher value in the future or just eating into your renewal funds.

Thanks to your initiative OzDomainer, which has trickled thoughts of many out here.

I did have a look at Jeff's valuable compilation and I did get more perspectives from it.

mwzd's mention about the ad spending by corporates was thought provoking too. I strongly believe that the day is not very far off when considerable number of Indian internet users will navigate directly for what they want to search by punching the keyword / generic term at the url.

That's when companies would rather prefer to part away with a fraction of their annual online ad budget, for once, to acquire generic name/s for good.

Hi, I am generally new to this but I can only suggest u to appraise the domain and then sell the domain for appraised price.

May be the offer of $500 is good. So, i think u must appraise the domain and if the cost is same or nearly equal ... sell it..!!

Just my thoughts.

It's true that you have to play the waiting game in order to strike the right deal. But, a domain is worth only if someone else wants it. So if you are a reseller, it's best to get rid of the names and reinvest the earnings in new stock.

What's better in one year gap?

2 names @ $1000
100 names @ $100

If you have good names and you want a better price try BIDO, the new social marketplace for domains

I've got couple of names accepted for auction recently
