Thank you Jamie for your opinion. I also feel that the domains which were mentioned by me are of some good worth. I plan to invest/buy a few of these and might like to also develop a few as most of these domain names clearly indicate and define the subjects of the websites, if chosen to develop. I am, however, not in a position to buy all but would be interested to buy and develop names like BeMyLover.net, LuvDream.com which could be developed into dating/matrimonial sites. I am still undecided to buy the other few names like ChinaBazaars.com, FamousTouristSpots.com and DomainBazaars.com as the price of these are quite high and beyond my budget, although they have great potential of making business. **Jamie Says**

We often experience such cases especially with the .co.uk domain names. so i believe that they are the secret rulers of the domain sales! besides paper work is no longer needed!:) The pricing you do for a domain name especially with a low type in traffic and revenue, depends on the factors whether that domain name sounds good, brandable or if the domain consists of any commonly used, generic, or commercial words which is familiar in the user’s mind. so i agree with the fact “one’s garbage is another one’s treasure.” We often experience such cases especially with the .co.uk domain names. so i believe that they are the secret rulers of the domain sales! besides paper work is no longer needed!:)

As for the value of names. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. That probably explains why I own so much "Beauty". Scott Neuman - Recordweb.com I’m not a fan of hypens either.

Its nothing more than SEO thing. But as most domains are gone, it just might be the next thing. Good reading. I agree with the hypens between words. Its nothing more than SEO thing.

Sometimes, it is not even about keywords or traffic; it's about a name that sounds cool or make sense to the buyer.

Domain name appraisals (espec. the paid one) are a waste of money - spend the money in registering domain names instead.

By end users I am talking about multi-billion software companies like Citrix, IBM and Microsoft- in fact go here and look at the "simplify IT" tab represents multi-billion licensing revenue from the desktops of almost all of the Fortune 500. The dash DOES help for SEO and because it's used internally and linked from pages like our blogs are linked from domaining, it's not the dash- but the name which describes a benefit to the reader that matters. Tagged onto an AdWords ad seen in Google or adjacent to an article as the URL rather then the brand name, this can have enormous impact. In the end it's about knowing end users and needs which is not going to be factored into typical domain appraisals but can only come from first hand experience and insight. **Jamie Says** Thank you for the post Owen and several great points. I guess I am just not a fan of the hypen. When I see one on search engines, I do not even click because 9 time out of 10, the site is full of ads and no relevent content. If I see MakeMoney.com or Make-Money.com right next to each other.. I'd be clicking the one with no hypen, because it's a premium domain and I know from the start, They Mean Business! simplify-it.com is a half million dollar plus name to an end user as a blog name or call to action for ad.
