You might not agree with me but just thought I'd give my perspective on it - |
From the names I listed I would probably agree with you.
Just to clarify things a bit though - my original post was to test the waters nothing thought through and I hadn't thought about how much I'd lease a name for. The figures 10-50/month came after I was thinking about GW's post. I wasn't thinking specifically about those listed but more about average domains with keywords, and what the range could be.
Let's face it what would be the point of trying to lease a name for less than £10 a month?
But to add a few rough figures to this I have 3 minisites with similar domain quality to those listed (so pretty average you might think) but they are each bringing in > $150/month in PPC+affiliate revenue
Each of the sites were built in 1 day and it took another day to do some
seo and get backlinks.
Now I'm not saying that all attempts to do this will be successful. I've tried and had very poor results with other names. But if someone thinks that a domain available for lease can offer a higher PPC than if they used a free to reg name then £10/month is cheap isn't it? If depending on their skills/domain they can make $150+ like my example above...
Food for thought. I don't know anyone who has a name leased but I think that if this does happen it probably is with much bigger names like your example of creditcards.co.uk - but that certainly will be a lot more that £50/month..
I know you didn't think much of my domain list but take a closer look there are some nice names on there. A few which are XXXX+ names: (liam.co.uk, studentbooks.com, londonstudent.co.uk, morecambe.co.uk...) They aren't all that bad
