S-E-O.co.uk

    I received an offer on sedo for S-E-O.co.uk
    I have no idea what the price should be, as I've never sold a domain before.
    So I put it on auction, but I'm not sure it was the right thing to do, taking into account the price :confused:

    Basically my question is, what are your expectations when you put a domain on auction and under what circumstances would you choose that option?

    I'm asking because I don't really understand why someone would simply accept an offer, instead of just starting an auction with it.

    :confused:

    Hi info, that is a VERY good guess, in fact, that's more or less the price in the auction right now
    Did you make up that number yourself or did you look at the auction? If you said that number without looking at the auction, let me say I'm very impressed with your accuracy

    no i checked your sedo listing. and as i said domain is hard to type but good for seo- google traffic. if it's seo.co.uk then it may get above $5000 bid.

    I'd sell it for the price its currently going for.

    It will be hard to develop for actual SEO relevancy.

    Google see's dashes as splitting words up, so it will see 'S' as a word 'E' as a word and 'O' as word. So if you had 'seo.co.uk' Google wouldn't see the 'seo' as an abrehviation, it will simply see it as a single word.

    Hope that makes sense?

    So yeah, $200 seems good for it.

    Yes, I see what you mean. When I got it, I was thinking more about the fact that it's easy to remember, SEO separated with dashes. S-E-O. Like you were spelling it. I think that's quite nice, from a human point of view.

    At the moment it's going for £205 in the auction, so about 320 USD.

    I think it may fetch as much as $500. SEO is in really high demand and there are lots of people like me that like domains with dashes :)

    at the moment, with the auction finishing in 25 minutes, it's going for $338
    do you think it will go up in the last few minutes?
