Don't I feel like the fool.
The new NF After Market Auction was started today and I have a couple of domains up for sale in it. Basically I have a few domains that I bought 12 - 18 months ago that I haven't got around to developing and since the AdWords KST was updated a few months back the metrics of these keyword based domains has dropped significantly to the point where I felt it may no longer be profitable to develop them using my business model, but I figured some of them still might have some value to someone else so I'll throw em up for sale on the NF AMA.
Anyway, it's the first time I have listed any domains for sale via NF's AMA so I went to check out the listings and I saw one of my domains listed as:
LaserjetPrinter.com.au
And I went to myself "ah bugger - that should have been listed as LaserJetPrinter.com.au" so people know to look up "Laser Jet Printer" not "Laserjet Printer" when doing their keyword research.
So I am about to PM David to ask him if he'd change the listing, but just before I started the message I went to the Googles KST and type in both the terms and realise it's not Net Fleet that's messed up it's me!
"laserjet printer" - $4.63 - 1,900
"laser jet printer" - $5.51 - 46
So here I was thinking that the domain was a term that only got 46 phrase searches a month, which for me doesn't justify me developing, when in actual fact it gets 1900 a month!
I wouldn't have put it up for sale had I known... and now I'm packing it that some lucky bugger might be able to pick it up for a song when it's only available for sale due to my stupidity.
