Example of Instant Marketing Power of a Good .co.uk

Guys

Here's a good example of the instant marketing power of a strong dictionary .co.uk:

Artemis8 - Who???

Found.co.uk - Ah yes.

looking at what they do i bet 99% of all they do is get their clients to piss shed loads of cash on adwords and spend all day tinkering with it

don't like their site design either, yuk

nice domain though

Quite like their website, it's unique. Anyone care to hazard a guess at the value of a five letter dictionary .co.uk like that?

befound_co_uk would have a better ring to it.

befound_co_uk would have a better ring to it.

Hey, when you're starting from Artemis8, the only way is up!

I'd say 15-20k for that one as a fair market value.

IMO if found.co.uk was up on DomainLore and no end user with that sort of branding idea was involved it'd go for £1-3k.

As always, could easily be wrong tho...

if was on domainlore it could go for as low as high xxx imo
depends on whose eyeballs on it
enduser name your price, i bet they paid 8k up range

judging by reg date one of major tags would have sold it i bet, so they would have wanted a good price, nokta, tagnames etc.

Artemis8 had acquired Found.co.uk during or before May 2007.

I've no idea how long they had owned it at that point, but this isn't a new move by them in terms of domain ownership.

Looks like they may have used the domain as subdomains before to generate leads, e.g. http://removals.found.co.uk/

That design isn't unique. I used a 1 page site for my portfolio 2 years ago, which was better designed.

They have overused elements like noise and shadow and it makes the site pretty ugly.
