Hi,

Thanks for baring with me. Are .names resaleable for a profit under any circumstances? I've also noticed some .ws are selling on SEDO. Are these just flukes? Are there a lot of .xx from different countries soon to be available to the world market that will make getting anything other than a .com pointless?


I've also started using the Overture keyword Selector tool. If your domain name includes two words that come up high in the search, is this indicative of a good/great domain name? Would seach engines recognize/seperate the words in your domain address? What Overture numbers are considered impressive or promising? (100's, 1000's, 10,000's)

thanks a bunch.

depends on the name and ccTLD really

here is a list of them http://www.iana.org/cctld/cctld-whois.htm

and for .name it was meant for individuals not commercial use, IIRC their T&C prohibit selling pre-owned .name domains
