[sorry for my English] I've seen that, if a domain is "dropped" its price ( at auction ) is consider lower than a 'normal' domain... Is it because it's supposed that a dropped domain has no potential?? If so, I don't understand why there're a lot of sites about dropped domain... Thanks a lot! TIM
if you mean the "buy now" price at places like godaddy, then the price does not include registration.. so if it says "Buy Now" for $5, then it will cost you $5 plus the registration fee on top of that.. Cheers James
They are just trying to get any money out of the domain that they can before it is dropped. If a domain is set to drop in a week, they would rather take the $5 that not take anything at all.
If you read this post (http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1063353) I understand that a dropped domain has a lower value than normal domain.. this is the opinio of mickael4973 ...
in most cases the cost of registration is not included..thats the reason it comes across as if the domain itself is cheaper..
Is there really a value in buying an existing domain? Does existing pagerank stay with you just until the next update or as long as old links are still out there?
