Being new to .au domains I have a few single word domain names that I'd be interested in your opinions on. I would like to hear your appraisals as well as suggestions for development and any comments if you have any?
None are developed at the moment.

.com.au names
reported.com.au

.net.au names
horror.net.au
wanted.net.au
earnings.net.au
rated.net.au

Looking forward to your replies

reported is not the best in my view....and .net.au are just the second best already as extension so unless you have terrific names I won`t bother so all together it`s not good news, sorry.

I don`t see reseller value on those names.

I'm normally not a big fan of 'past tense' domains but I do like reported.com.au

Why don't you stick with a domaining theme and create a simple site with all reported .au sales?

horror.net.au is a nice one too

wanted is an ok name in my view , there have been a few good ,net.au sales , so hang in there or develop is the other option , WANTED .....what do you want ?? could be a good finders site and reported is the pick of the bunch

I also think Reported is the pick of the bunch. Possibly worth $800.

.net.au's are ok, these work best when the .com.au is not developed.

SM

Exactly my thoughts , plus LOTS of Large sites using net.au
Most famous one ABC.net.au

reported could also be a sports report site for football players on report

Hi everyone,
Thanks so much for your opinions
I intend to develop most of the above and some keyword adult .com.au's in the new year and see what I can get happening in the way of traffic .... as soon as I get some free time anyway.

Has anyone had much luck in parking .au names?
I have always had better luck with developing and sticking up advertisements (a little adsense but mostly affiliate) with my .com's

Also - is discussing Adult names ok on the forum? ... or is there a particular board I need to stick to with that (don't want to start out breaking the rules!)

I hope everyone is off to a good start for 2010

Hi aHugeLIst,

I'm a newbie here too so don't take this as gospel, but I think discussing adult domain names would be fine, although probably outside the expertise of most. Unlike yourself most here are guys (ie less likely to be offended), and i've heard Soj the owner of the board mention one of his domains sluttylingerie.net, although he did get a bit of a ribbing for it!

Matt

Haha, just a note marketingweb, the domain was satinlingerie.org :P

maybe i should make a hidden section only for members for discussion of adult names.
