How much are they then Vernon ?

That domain is not available through me
But the others are£99 + reregistration, most of them are registered with godaddy.com

[V_Purcell]

Are you just buying these to make a quick buck out of your fellow carpet cleaners?

Seems a bit immoral to me to register domain names just to sell them,  what about the carpet cleaners in these areas should'nt  they be allowed to have the chance to get these domain  names without you trying to make cash out of them.

I say hats off to the guy for having the initiative to buy them up and take the gamble.

He also knows when to cash in his chips.

There's also a big difference between an acquired domain name sat doing nothing and a domain with and active website that has gathered age.

Most of these site can be pushed up to number 1 with £500 in seo and can be in google local for free

Shamefulness  profiteering.

Having said that £100 would be the limit of what there worth.

On a side note it has been made illegal to register ie. 'asda' then sell it stupid amounts, now the law says that illegal as 'asda' has a right to this domain.

prior there was some one bought 'sex.com' and sold it for a couple of £mill, nice work eh!

All these sites were purchased to develop, and in my opinion its not immoral to buy a domain and resell it for a profit.
Business is business. And there are business out there selling domains for a profit. And most of the registrars advice you to buy up and the .co.uk .net .info and any other TLD prefix to protect your brand.

But have you not sold a domain??

[Carpet Dawg]

there's only one reason why I would want to buy one of these domain names IF THEY HAD LINK JUICE AND AGE!! which I presume they don't.


nothing to do with the area covered either.

sex.com in not a brand domain, nor are any of the domain that I have.  if you bought asdacheapfood.com or any other TLD then they can force you to hand over it the over domain, without paying a penny, as you would be infringing there trade mark
Bill gates tried to claim a site mikerowesoft.com from a young lad I think he offers $10.00 They settled out of court, as his name was Mike Rowe
I put price of £99 in an early post, but we payed a lot more for carpetcleaninginlondon.com and carpetcleaninglondon is for sale at $11,000.00
carpetcleaninginlondon.com is the domain I am going to concentrate my seo efforts on. I belong to a domain club and the renewal is $2.95 a year so if I don't sell all of them I will put content on them and point links to my money sites.
I did see a prominent member selling domains, but I cannot find the site he advertised them on, so cannot put his name in the posts. AHHHH just found the site, they are not selling but renting the domains, which is I personally think is that you would make more over 10 years, here is the url

I have some high Pr domains as well I have sites from PR2 - PR9, nothing to do with areas some have 25,000 links pointing to them.

If you wanted to make money you should have bought into another industry, ha, carpet cleaners are poor.

You should have went into other areas. 

£100 is a months profits to most poor c/c;ers

Perhaps you are poor from carpet cleaning, if you are earning £100 a month, I suggest you put your machine on ebay, and head down to the job centre.
I have had a wonderful living, from carpet cleaning and manufacturing carpet cleaning equipment.
In fact anyone that is earning £100 a month and live in the areas that I have put in my fist list of domains call me. My guys are taking home £800 a week, less their van, chemicals, machine and diesel and insurance etc

[Craigp]

What do you know Vernon.

If I had them domains, I would GIVE them away. but thats just me.

[V_Purcell]

Business is business. I am a business person. If a business does not make a profit, then you only have a hobby.
My post are nothing personal, I am just defending myself.
I have put the url of the person renting domains on here which will cost you more in the long run
http://www.cleaningwebsites.co.uk/
But looking again at the site it says SOLD again some of the names, so that refers that they have sold the domains, not rented them as i previously said.

He said £99 plus their registration fee.

To be honest, it matters very little having the keyword in the domain. If your starting from scratch you can do just aswell or better with a shorter, brand-able, more memorable domain name.

[derek west]

so £99 for www.carpetcleaninghampshire.com or £7 for www.carpetcleanershampshire.co.uk ? surely its a no brainer. am i missing something here? just asking like, be interesting to know.

[V_Purcell]

carpetcleaningampshire.com domain is not available

[derek west]

carpetcleaningampshire.com domain is not available

 

[dan paton]

same as tony says . I have been led to believe recently that having a keyword in the domain name doesn't matter a poop to google . if I remember rightly alex said the same thing at the tacca day
