Dot Org Names

Hey Folks,

Just wondering if dot ORG domain names are valuable?

Thanks

 

Of course, some are. They are right below .net in terms of valuation.

 

so if a dot org as a PR6 is it very valuable?

 

any domain with decent PR is valuable.

Value doesnt counts through domain pricing or TLD, rather the content and popularity.

 

Actually speaking
.org are mostly used for non commercial type sites (this is what I have been taught in Skool )
If you have a commercial site then better go for .coms

 

They were originally meant for non commercial organisations

Like .xxx for adult

but still there isnt any restriction on TLDs you can buy. Feel free to choose any TLD. Only thing I see is restriction is your budget.

 

It all depends upon the Psychological approach thats it!
Rules dont forbid or value apprisal is not against .org so go ahead have fun getting a .org

 

I personally like .org more then .net plus org sites are usually quality sites.

Sure the same name in a .com will fetch more but org is still a good extension.

 

Some fansites use .org and monetize their sites through adsense I think it should be monitored more carefully..

 

I think if the site is good, then it does not really matter what the extension is, though .com is the most well-known so might be more marketable.

 

Personally I wouldn't buy a domain name just because it's got PR unless it was really cheap. If the name is a-erls-4asdf-w.org with a PR6, that's crap. If it was realestate.org, that'd be nice

So you're saying that it doesn't matter if the renewal fees for a domain is $500/year or $7/year or if the TLD was a crappy ccTLD like .tc or a .com, it doesn't matter? I am confused.

 

Not if you turn it into a directory then that's when the PR matters more than the domain name.

 

Mine is a .org website (last link in signature). Customarily, .org has signified a nonprofit, which we are. However, when I bought the .org domain, I recall that I did not have to state or prove that we were nonprofit. Basically, anyone can apply for and get a .org domain. And I'm not aware that it is any more valuable than, say, a .com domain.

 

Short or single word .orgs of course have their values

 

why would you think that .org would be of lesser value then .net?

 

I too prefer .org over .net. The majority of companies are either profit (com) or non-profit (org). (net) is just not used as much in my opinion.

 

my main domain is a .org and of course adsense is on it!

by the way non-profit does not mean it can't bring revenue. you can put ads and still be non-profit.

profit requires revenue to exist, but revenue does not mean you make a profit.

my .org website is, however, profitable

 

Just look at all the past sales. .net is more popular.

 

yes, sold one for $15,000, but can't say which out respect for buyer and an unofficial nda.

 

Because that's how it is. Look at the previous sales & compare them
