Default Thoughts on single keyword .net.au

Thinking of registering some single keyword domains with .net.au and about 15,000 exacts per month.

Worth reg fee, or more?

I thought maybe some would be too generic etc etc

I am interested about single keyword generics though, even down to 1000 exacts per month.

Or does everyone keep their cards close to their chest...

In all seriousness, it's impossible to say without more information. 15,000 hits in finance or insurance? Hell yes. 15,000 on celebrity gossip or some other niche with high search volumes and low payouts? Probably not.

No such thing as a stupid question
There is real debate amongst the members as to the value of .net.au
Personally I love them
Others shun them
Others say Google rates them lowly
Certainlly netfleet gives them a poor rating and they do not achieve the sale price of .com.au
However I do prefer them to convoluted, forced word combination or hyphen .com.au
I think the ABC radio and TV network has done a lot to promote them
Also the fact that one company owns nearly all the generic .com.au means that small business has reg'd the .net.au
So you often see "generic".net.au on the side of trucks etc , whereas generic.com.au are hardly ever used by small business, in my opinion


Why haven't you reg'd cargame.net.au yet?

Lots of talk on this forum about .net.au's being discriminated against by Google..

See phillipisland.net.au

Ranks #4 out of possible 850k results.. BUT has been around since 1998!

Personally I think there is more work involved in getting them ranking and probably doesnt suit a minisite setup but if you build a decent site and age it then all good

Thanks,

I am mainly just surprised at how many there are available.

I am at 600 single word .net.au so far today in my list.
