Default dressupgamesforgirls.com.au

Any suggestions for a value on dressupgamesforgirls.com.au? Regged it after seeing the .com sold for USD $15k on dnjournal. I recently developed it into a website. Thoughts appreciated and thanks for looking.

In terms of search volume it's not much in the realm of game search volumes.

I have a few game related domains and the ad revenue for girl sites vs boy sites is nowhere near comparable. Boy sites x10 earnings.

You are also competing against many WELL ESTABLISHED US sites which are always tough to beat even with an exact match.

So based on the effort needed to put in to this name to get it to #1, the low search volume and low CPC ad revenue opportunities... reg fee.

I have also seen this domain available for reg months ago and decided against it for the above mentioned reasons.

Personally I don't think the name is worth anything. Will need to be producing revenue to be be saleable, games sites generally sell on low multiples also (typically a years revenue from what I have seen).

In my view registering a name because something got a good price in another extension is not a good strategy. Should be looking at keyword popularity/quality etc (proper analysis) and getting the best name you can get that is available rather than hoping to mimic perhaps "lucky" sales in other extensions.

Reg fee for me, for the reasons previously mentioned.

Thanks guys - your insights are appreciated. Did not know "boy" sites make x10 earnings or that game sites sell on low multiples. That's good to know. Well, at least I got 2 years for the adsense earnings > $24 to make the reg worth my while. Cheers. Matt.

I think reg fee is a bit harsh. 3,600 exacts/month and if you get just a few inbound links you'd hit the number 1 spot without too much prob. That should give a regulat modest income I woiuld have thought.

Questionable whether you'll get a decent return on your time though - obviously you've put a fair bit of effort into the site (great work btw)

Great web site, Congratulations
How did you make that site?
I like girlsdressupgames .com .au as a domain name better

Thanks for the positive feedback on the website. It took me almost all of Sat to set it up.

@i sold grandma, it's running on Wordpress using an arcade plugin (http://netreview.de/myarcadeblogpro) and a customised theme. I thought about registering girlsdressupgames, but its 6.5k exact monthly searches vs dressupgamesforgirls 50k exact searches made me decide against it.

Thanks for the info about the WP plugin, Hanson
I never trust the numbers in the keyword tool

I know, should be taken with 1 or 2 pinches of salt
