Generic .co.uk Domains
I reckon that there must still be some available gems in the generic world of .co.uk domains. Okay, the quality one word’ers have been reg’d just like .coms have, but for decent two word generics I think there is still some scope.
For instance, I’ve just started to develop a mini site around the generic name of broadband cards. Mobile broadband is yet to really take off but hopefully there’s a market there to be tapped. Different searchers will call it different things - hopefully some will directly navigate to my new site!
Of course, new technology will always offer opportunties for generic domains as I mentioned in this post - the downside being that not all new technologies are adopted by the paying public.
I’ve got a couple of other new domains in small niche areas that I’ll post about in due course.
Wirral Domains
I’m UK based and actually live and work in a place called Hoylake, Wirral and as a lad I lived just down the rode in Meols. With a population of over 300,000 I reckon that The Wirral offers enough scope for some localised domaining - the common sort of stuff like hotels, flowers, property, etc
I’ve registered a handful of Wirral domains this morning, making good use of a godaddy promo code giving me .coms for $6.99 (about £3.50). I’ve gone down the .com route as opposed to .co.uk - I’m yet to convince myself which is best out of the two for a UK domain. It’s a tricky call whether to go .com or ccTLD (.co.uk) for localised targetting - registering both would be the ideal but you just about double your reg fees that way.
I’ve parked some but have plans to develop Wirral Golf, Wirral Hotels and Wirral Restaurants
Mummy Sleeping Bags
Bagged (!) both mummysleepingbag and mummysleepingbags.co.uk this week.
Very niche but offering some potential for some affiliate earnings perhaps. Follow the link to find out what mummy sleeping bags are.
I’m also toying with developing my car shares domain - currently presenting some very off-topic ads I see.
