For Sale

www.backgammoned.co.uk

In backgammon, if you have 'backgammoned' someone, you have conclusively beaten them in the highest possible way (short of major wonga) in this fast growing sector of the online gaming market

Why should you buy the domain ?

*No content with the domain

You have an amazing clean slate for the backgammon site of your dreams with no preconceived ideas from a previous website

*Recently registered on August 11th 2005

Saving you a few pounds in reg fees for a couple of years, no waiting for it to drop .....

*Awesome type in potential

I myself have typed in the name at least three times today. Well if all 7519 members of a4uforum (at time of writing) did that that would be 22,557 views a day, multiply by 365 for the year that would be an amazing 8,233,305 views. Just imagine if you told all your family and friends and they told theirs ...the traffic would be phenominal.
For branding, affiliate sites and white labels this has amazing untapped potential

Looking for £ 550,000 ono

Willing to look at monthly payments, over 5 -10 years. Come to think of it I think I may know of a great loan site you could use to buy this domain.

If you meet the whole cash offer, well seeing as I'm a nice guy, its nearly Christmas, I've just had my birthday and all that, I'll throw in free-backgammon.co.uk & www.backgaming.co.uk

If you want to put up adsense or ppc adverts, I'll even click on them for you while you are developing the domain, saving you time and making you money

You own the domain - I'm not sure your own type in traffic counts for much

[loquax]

£550 thousand? or £550?

Or a few quid for backgammoned.net which is available...

I don’t know Fraser I myself get up every morning and look forward to typing in backgammoned.co.uk… I been telling all my family and friends about how every day morning, lunch and just before bed I type it in so I can see the logic here and think if everyone typed it in you have 1 billion views a day and that makes this domain a bargain. I buy 2

[Kandevil]

lol nice one Marky, very amusing

what is it when you win at tiddlywinks? ...
'cause whilst I am asleep I telepathically make all the people living in backgammoned country type it in themselves continuously throughout the night and today I received an offer for tiddlyw*nker @ $14.7Billion

[Fraser]

I've read so many posts like this that I wasn't all that surprised by it but only on properly reading it again did I realise you are winding us all up

[marky]

Appologies to all, just woke up feeling a little excitable this morning.
Just have seen some ludicrous prices for domains recently, and thought I'd top it off

Just to confirm, 'twas a spoof. A poor joke. I think I may have to employ someone imaginative if I ever do a spoof website ...

Happily I do own that rather exciting domain, bought late at night convinced this was going to be the mother if all sites .....and it is still there waiting for me to do something (probably something imaginative with play 65)

Anyone else buy domains up at odd times of the night and leave them festering ?

Regards

Mark

(If you really do want to buy it then please remortgage your house first and pm me with your offer)

Yes - I keep finding domains that I had bought and forgotton all about. I usually purchase things when I've had a few to drink (never a good idea).

I've put a stop buying any more - at least until I get round to turning a few of them into websites

I liked how you turned the "*No content with the domain" disadvantage into something positive!

[mobillica]

The only domain I dont use probably is roykeane.co.uk

Nuff said really

I just like to clarify that this is a changing market, with the dominance of search engines on the internet your domain name is the most import asset of any website at the moment. Google may change their algorithm at some point but at the moment if people search for backgammon then to ensure you appear in the first couple of pages your going to need backgammon in the name.

in this case backgammoned.co.uk is not really worth anything as backgammoned is not a word searched for. On the other hand "backgammon" was searched for 9000 time last month so instantly you could potentially have 9000 visitors a month who are not random visitors, they are actually looking for backgammon related information or products - definite sales

So if you can secure a popularly searched word - for example "electrical" then last month you potentially had over 35000 visitors sell to.

Lets say you manage to sell to 10% that 3500 people who say buy a electrical product for an avg of £250 that’s £875000 in revenue. Even if you only got 5% of your visitors to buy that would surely still justify a substantial outlay on a relevant domain name.

Now i know this is a simplistic view of the domain market potential but you can soon see why people are forking out big money for a domain name. But you could pay big money on a marketing scheme hit/miss or a domain name that gets focused traffic straight away.

Sex.com is a great example.

just my 2 cents while i'm doing nothing

Yes however since joining domain names anonymous I found that I no longer go out of a Saturday night get drunk with friends to then come home and order what I think are amazing domains only to wake up in the morning and think, what the heck is that crap

[KirstyM]

Do you know after reading this thread, I've logged into my domain account and found sooooo many domains I just don't remember buying.

alwaysoutdiving.co.uk, colmonell.com, indigowines.co.uk, and freakbrothers.co.uk (I'd even gone as far as putting up a holding page for that one). Just a few examples from many.

I wonder if I have perhaps been doing it in my sleep or if, shock horror, the government may have been right about the harmful effects of alcohol?!

Re Charlie UK

Yes, you can buy a premium domain, for branding or consistency but I think that having the name in the title is becoming less important. Having a good type in name that will be remembered is what will probably work long term. Think kelkoo, monster, elephant and friends
I agree people will type in backgammon.co.uk/.com and other good generic or specific urls just to see what is there. I did.

type loan or loans into google
loans only 3 sites on the first page have loan(s) in the url, same for the search term loan

Look at Secured Loans or Secured Loan

none of the first page results have anything like secured loan(s) or loan(s) in the urls ...

ok, so these are isolated examples, but content & something memorable should work very well, and in some cases works better than the actual name itself.

The web is still expanding with xxxx new sites/pages added each day. Serps will get more and more crowded. A memorable type in name will be what will work best long term for brands, and well some funky seo skills for the rest of us. Ok, I am not really that knowledgable (probably shows in my spiel) in this area, as I am in the fun business of spending a stupid amount on ppc .
