WWW.DESCRIPTION.COM
www.description.com

67 million google results

I am accepting offers for description.com.

Should the offers not meet my reserve price i reserve the right not to sell.

The perfect name for a dictionary.com type site using subdomains
eg. a user could type car.description.com or website.description.com and be taken to a dynamic subdomain detailing that description.

As mentioned, i may develop this name, hence the logo here (http://www.theshopsite.com/logo.gif). This is included in the auction should the name be sold.

Offers can be sent via email - john.quailATntlworld.com

OR

posted in this forum

Offers start at $500.

I will update the thread every day or two with the current highest offer (assuming i get any :) ).

Thanks,
John

Why would there be any? There's no site, its a domain sale.

Hi,

sorry for not explaining myself properly. The 67 million google results are for the word "description".

it was simply to show the popularity of the name.

Thanks,
John

Just an update to say that the current high offer is $1500.

Obviously, any transaction can be handled through escrow.com to ensure complete peace of mind.

Thanks.

i'd say that it doesn't matter how many results you get from google for a word, that doesn't matter at all, what matter is number of searches for "[something] description" at search engines - check it out - for example at inventory.overture.com

but happy selling its undoubtly a great name

The current high offer is now $1600.

I will also include a template which i have been working on with the high bid which the winner may use if they wish.

PS - With regard to the comment from Dex. That is a good point! and with a domain such as description.com, unlimited subdomains could be used to boost traffic from search engines.

A couple of quick overture search showed the following numbers;
60365 - job description
5992 - career description
95 - car description
70 - technical description

Just to add, interested parties have requested a Buy-It Now Price, thus a buy-it now price of $1900 has been set.

Thanks,
