Double dashed domain. Worth regging?

expertc · 10-11-2010, 09:01:57 PM

Is it worth regging a double-dashed (looks nice though) domain in org.uk if it has very (and I mean it!) high CPC a decent exacts (over 10K)? Any good for quick flip or better for some serious SEO?

well i have a double dash .me.uk that works

so i would say go for it

if for seo and linking site to main site, then for reg fee, yes

however as long as it's 3 words and not 2

and maybe just a couple, not too many domains!

what was it btw

2 words... LOL, I like that

This is actually my ONLY dash-dash domain, and yes it was for the reg fee. The domain is very simple:

buy-a-gift_org_uk

but it has 12,100 local exacts and... (get ready for this one...) �96.84 CPC

one of those rare ones it looks better with the dashes imho
although ideally you have both

I'd stay away but in this case it looks like it works.. Pretty much any domain with good keywords will work for development. Resale is a different animal.

Cheers, guys. I do also think that sometimes dash-dash might look nice (something like Toys'R'Us effect). This one might not be to bad even for a quick flip. But if developed, hmmm... single Adsense click might be more than the reg fee
