That is a good sale - well done.
I struggle to see why this domain is worth £75 though? Was it because of the high CPC on google keywords?
Surely it will be quite difficult to get high in google? There are some real tough competitors on the first page of google.
Your other listing on the other hand, currencyconverters seems to have received less interest yet gets more searches...
Thanks for your input and thoughts.
It is all down to a possible end user sale and monetisation. For example 1 garage conversion sale is on average £10k and if the person who bought it from me, knows someone in this industry then it is a no brainer to him.
It wouldn't be that hard to get high in google for the keyphrase, the competitiors you mention are not that hard to beat in my opinion (and I have been doing seo for years)
Plus I know for a fact that with some simple optimisation which most developers know, it would be an easy number 1 on yahoo, due to the domain name being the exact match of the searched for keyword.
Currency converters on the other hand, is more of a "useful tool" type name / site, where it gets more searches, but it is harder to monetise apart from adsense (which as quite high cpc too)
Hope this gives you a better insight into this, as I am assuming you are quite new as you only joined a few weeks ago.
Also judging by your own names you are trying to sell, how would you monetise "cab ride" - do you think someone would type that into a search engine ?
