Ok so forgetting .co.uk and dot com versions of three letter words or acronyms etc.

Obviously something like bet dot org or bet dot org uk is a buy and see what happens.

There are a lot of org.uk and .me.uk three letter domains available what are peoples views and valuations on say a aaa.org.uk style domain as an example.

Obviously forgetting about the aa or alkies anom even having something like xad

Personally I dont think .me.uk will get anywhere or be worth anything, but why are the org.uk 3 letter domains not being snapped up?

I have found a few 3 letter org.uk I know I'm thinking about buying one infact I've seen two but one is reasonable.

Is it worth investing in the org.uk ?

scooter

I have 50 lll.org.uks parked and combined they only bring in £18 a month on revenue.

Out of the 50, only 10 bring in the money. So I do not think they are a good choice.

Generic org.uk's and me.uk's are a different story. You will get a high ranking.

me.uk's I would say are only good for moneytising as you will find it hard to get a buyer due to nominet's rules. org.uk's are good for moneytising and you will be able to sell on.

What rules?

scooter

The .me.uk SLD is intended to provide a personal namespace within the .uk Top Level Domain. Unless Rules 9.4 or 9.5 apply, registrants of .me.uk domain names must be, and remain at all times, natural persons (a “qualifying person”), and shall not be recorded on the register as being the agent, trustee, proxy or representative for any person or entity (whether having an individual legal personality or not) which is not a qualifying person.
9.3 No actions unless in accordance with the Charter
Unless Rules 9.4 or 9.5 apply, no registration, transfer, renewal or change may be requested to a .me.uk domain name which would be in breach of Rule 9.2, and any such request may be rejected. If, despite the previous sentence, such an action is requested and does occur, Nominet may reverse that action at any time in addition to any other rights Nominet may have by contract or otherwise.
9.4 Charter
9.4.1 Where, as the result of the DRS or judicial proceedings (of relevant jurisdiction) a .me.uk domain name is to be transferred to a person who would not qualify under Rule 9.2 (the “transferee”), the transfer to, and continued registration by, the transferee shall be permitted provided that no use is made of that .me.uk domain name for any purpose, for so long as the transferee holds the domain name.
9.4.2 To prevent a breach of Rule 9.4.1, Nominet may put the domain name into a special status e.g. by blocking the entry of any nameservers onto the record for that domain.
9.4.3 The transferee under clause 9.4.1 will be able to transfer the domain name to a qualifying person, in which case the specific restrictions imposed under this Rule 9.4 will cease to apply.

9.5 Transitional Arrangements
As a transitional measure, any .me.uk domain name registered before 25 October 2004 will not be subject to Rules 9.2 and 9.3 until it is next transferred or cancelled.
