Tours.net.au

[geodomains]

Hi All,
Couldn't pass on purchasing this domain http://www.tours.net.au for $1500 plus transfer fees, the sub-domains will keep me busy for a while. Even though its a net.au I'm stoked to have got it.

Any thoughts good or bad?

I think it is a great acquisition Don - and if you develop it as you suggest, then it will be worth heaps in time to come.

Good luck to you.

Cheers, Ned

I like it and I think $1,500 is a good price for both parties at this point in time.

Thanks guys, yeah I think it will be one in years to come that we all say I should have purchased that. Use to say that with property a lot, hopefully I'm right on this one.

Yeah I noticed the sale. Thumbs Up.

 

[Data Glasses]

that's a great name don , well done , i dont think you would ever lose on that one

 

[Rhythm]

Yeah I noticed the sale. Used it as a selling point for my trip.net.au listing on netfleet.

Having said that, do you guys think tours.net.au sold too cheaply or was holiday.net.au sold too expensively? Or were they both sold to cheaply?

 

[jam]

I dont know the the price holiday.net.au went for but I would say the value is worth more than twice the value of tours.net.au.

tours.net.au could be monitised very well, consider selling a package to tour providers.
Such as, a one page optimised site and the subdomain for a setup free and $100 or so a month.
If a client is paying for "location.tours.net.au" plus a decent 1 page website for $1000-$3000 a year... it would be worth it for you and them.
20 people doing that and you got yourself $50k.

You could have that up and running and making that income in 3 months...

So you're saying if the site: location.tours.net.au was seo'd correctly it would rank for the keywords "location tours"?

Anyone know examples of this sort of search with those sort of keyphrase subdomain+domain in the serps?

Theoretically, with the right amount of SEO and links you could rank the subdomain.domain. Though a note, that for each new subdomain you creat, google looks at it like a brand new domain, so you don't get all the link juice you would normally get with just making a sub folder (domain.com/folder)

Hi Rhythm,

We have subdomained the hell out of Photographers.com.au and our subdomains do quite well in Google.

See http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=...aphers&btnG=Search&meta=cr=countryAU&aq=f&oq=

Well worth it for a generic domain like tours. Just think subdomaining for travel agencies who specialise in things like sporting events. Ashes.Tours, Cricket.Tours, Rugby.Tours etc

Don I am reporting you to the AFP for theft mate. Great purchase and glad to see it in the right hands.

Thanks James

Hey Shaun,
Thats great result, as I have tours.net.au up and running with content, I'm pretty sure I can still create sub domains at hostgator as well. Ill look into this?
