I can code so don't need to outsource so hoping to get moving fast now.

Will share my experiences (good and bad) in case it's of any use to anyone in a similar situation.

Yeah thats what i mean IMO rather than purchasing a load of random domains you could use that money to buy something reallY good off here or sedo. You will then have one project you can really get your teeth stuck into.

Reckon there's any value to 6teen.co.uk? (have posted in correct forum 'domain appraisals' but nobody has replied as yet)

Would like to shift some of my old domains if I can (if they're actually worth anything) so that I can fund a purchase of a strong domain.

Personally not. you have to think what it could be developed into (monetised) and I cant see anything legal available lol Either that or you need an end user like a company called 6teen.

I just looked and there is a Canadian tv show called 6teen but because you have the .co.uk, you can onl really target the 1000 exact searches that come from the UK. Even if you rank you are likley to receive limited traffic and comms are going to be low.

I've a very small portfolio of domains but looking to the knowledgeable folk on the Acorn forums (enough ass kissing?) to give me a few pointers in return for witty banter*.

*Witty banter not guaranteed.

Ahhhh, well then extended commiserations are due then Sam.

Welcome to the world of domains and all its magical joys and endless pitfalls (& too many late nights and many a 'matchstick under the eye' moments!).

Seriously, though - welcome, AD is a great forum to be and learn about domains!

Yeah I'd seen there was a TV show with the same name.

I had a buyer about 5 years ago (Pharmaceutical company) - only �200 but was worth it for a quick flip, they paid, I went through the Nominet transfer process but they never completed - very strange. Was responsible and tried to contact them but they never came back to me!

Might see if they'd like to buy it again

Thanks Alien! Yeah I guess insomnia is a positive for domainers?
