    Will be setting up an informational site on this domain soon but just wanted to gather some opinions from others first please?

    Of course something like StopSmoking.org.uk would be better but this one still has some appeal, correct?

    Many thanks in advance all!

    Dave :p

    Going down the org.uk route I’d say they have to be very generic and at a push very high volume emd’s anything else is sadly a waste of time. They can’t compete there supporters well disagree but two sites same name everything else equal links seo etc its co'uk or com everytime, The “no” also losses a lot too to emd terms stop, giveup, quit etc?

    Although the org.uk fits the keyword better than most, you will be lucky to flip in the current market. As it stands I would say there is no value there. As stated, an org.uk needs to have high search volumes or be HIGHLY brandable for it to be worth anything..... unfortunately.

    Sorry for the slow response. Yes I decided my plans for development were a bit ambitious and after reading the appraisals above I did cancel it immediately.

    Thank you all! :)
