      Hi Guys

      Picked this name up a year ago ish.. checked stats last thursday night and the hits has gone from 1 or 2 uniques a day to nearly 1000 a day :mrgreen:

      Anyone watch Dragons Den Last week? :mrgreen:

      Any thoughts price wise?

      Checking my emails - I have had quite a few inquiries on the name previous to this, I think I have one from the guy that was on TV before the programme went live as well :???:

      Cheers
      DB

      they repeated it again last night on TV, you should be making a bomb on PPC with this.

      Monetise the traffic and this will raise its value, you can then offer it for sale at x times revenue.

      Yeah earnings are looking pretty good :-D

      I set up poker links on the name ,and the click throughs are great, obviously that is what they are looking for.

      I might change the term from "Poker" as its paying very little :confused: i think about 0.39$ per click :(

      Looking at the google keyword tool the highest bid on 'poker' is £2.88, 'poker party' is much better at £13.61. I would change the keyword quick, you should be rolling in money from this :)

      Great name! I would really hold out for a high offer on this. His business is built on his name and the fact he has been on Dragon's Den. I have no doubt that he would never have got his investment had the Dragon's not recognised the marketing power of the TV programme.

      I seem to remember in the segment one of the dragon's (Duncan Bannatyne) seemed very interested when he said he had the web address thenutspokerleague. com/co.uk and we all know thenuts .co.uk is a thousand times better.

      One thing to bear in mind a lot of your traffic was probably from domainers seeing what was at thenuts .co.uk having cursed you after checking the whois ;-)

      A shame Duncan Bannatyne wasn't one of the investors he seems very keen on (sub) domains at least:

      Bannatyne Health Club
      fitness.bannatyne.co.uk

      Bannatyne Casino
      casino.bannatyne.co.uk

      Hotel Bannatyne
      hotel.bannatyne.co.uk

      Bar Bannatyne
      bar.bannatyne.co.uk

      Bannatyne Housing
      housing.bannatyne.co.uk

      I'll save you the bother, he also has:

      duncanbannatyne. co.uk

      Thanks lesurf, I couldnt belive it myself when I was watching it, and heard the address come up, all i could see was dollar signs :cool:

      Yup agreed thenuts.co.uk is far better in anyones eyes.

      I was asking £500.00 for complete ownership on previous enquiries.

      ppc

      How do you get paid for pay per click? and is it worth paying for google ad ppc to get websites noticed?

      You use a parking program like sedo.co.uk

      Ref ad words, IMO use all the freebie channels first then targeted advertising on related sites maybe...
