    Hi folks

    first up is:

    [h=1]VIDEOTUTORIALSFORPHOTOSHOP.COM[/h]
    bought for the intention of monitising a site dealing with video tutorials for photoshop however never started the site and its just sitting in my godaddy account. Is this domain name worth anything? its quite keyword heavy.

    my second site I dont really use is

    [h=1]FLOPCOMESDOWN.COM[/h]again bought with the intention of monitising, how ever this would suit a poker themed site as such gambling is against adsense terms so have not really progressed.

    any idea for values would be great should i decide to sell them.

    regards
    Dale

    VIDEOTUTORIALSFORPHOTOSHOP.COM is branded so it is worth $0 for trademark infringement.

    FLOPCOMESDOWN.COM has zero searches, no adwords advertisers, no clear purpose. Your best bet with selling this would be to develop a site then flip it because it has no apparent value now, but it has potential and is definitely brandable. You'd have to have a stellar sales pitch to sell just the domain.

    Branded only matters if you're trying to sell the product, or disrespecting the brand name. Why would Adobe take out a trademark infringement case against a site offering Photoshop tutorials? However, it would be very difficult to monetize, so it's not really worth much more than about $20.

    flopcomesdown.com has the potential to be a brandable poker domain, possibly quite good for a blog, since it's memorable and a .com. Until it becomes brandable though it's not really worth much. If you're looking to offload it cheap then drop me a PM.

    at some point you gonna want to put an ad or an affiliate link on the site and that is profiting of the trademark
    with 3 words and none of them is "poker", there might be better choices
