HistoryCheck.com.au SearchHistory.com.au ++++

Hi
Own these and was wondering what value they might have and how I might use them to their best advantage.
History Check.com.au Google searches over 1.6 Billion
History Checks.com.au 229 Million
Search History.com.au 1.1 Billion
Check History.net 1.6 Billion

Thanks for your help!

Mate, these are so far from being in the money it's not funny. I'm not saying that to be mean but to give you a reality check.
The metrics you are using (ie 229 million Google searches) are irrelevant.
You should use the Google Adwords Keyword Planner to get a more realistic idea of actual searches.
When you do you will also find that a lot of searches relate to ciminal and vehicle searches or checks. These keywords are missing from your domains.
I'm sorry I have no suggestions for use and would whole heartedly suggest you do not renew them.

Thanks Bacon Farmer, I posted here to get advice and I will checkout Google Adword Keyword Planner to help me better choosing names.
However your comment (I'm sorry I have no suggestions for use and would whole heartedly suggest you do not renew them.) What a silly statement!

Hi @dicko1- I agree with @Bacon Farmer on these. It can be hit and miss, but the more research you do, the better position you'll be in. Checking out the top reported .au sales here is a good way to get a feel of what sorts of names fetch good prices. We've also got a few tips here on how to value a domain name, in particular, the first point is important:

Clear business use. Probably the greatest attribute a domain name can have is a clear business use. A domain that speaks for itself and has an obvious application to a business model stands above all others

Out of the bunch, I don't mind historycheck.com.au. I notice the main advertiser in this space has carhistorycheck.com.au registered, and they're currently using carhistory.com.au which is very descriptive. Even if a domain sounds good, it might not have all the elements to make it valuable. Apart from vehicle checks or background checks, there aren't many clear commercial uses that I can think of for these which is a limiting factor.

Whenever members give advice on an appraisal, it's always tough love so the odds are more in your favour of being successful

Hope that helps!

Being told your "great" domains are crap hurts but one of the hardest issues any domainer faces is having the strength to over come pride and letting them expire.

Letting them drop is the best financial decision you could make. Pride is not worth paying $19.95 every 2 years.
