    hello,

    I started a blog like 2 weeks ago about battlefield heroes( game will be free and isnt out yet). I started it just out of interest and because i could register a nice domain. Now i got a offer from someone that wants to buy btfheroes.com of me for 100$ (just the domain). I also have the .net/org/info(got nice discount on godaddy) so i could sell it and still run the blog. I have absolutly no clue if 100$ is a nice price since all seo i done is for btfheroes.com and i get between 10-30 uv a day (some days 150+). So should i accept the offer ?

    if you sell .com and keep other tld surely its a draw back because you will develop .net or .info but .com also gets traffic freely from your work

    so better make a deal for a whole group of .com .net ...

    I'd Accept it if i was in your shoes, you can do a lot with $100, purchase about 5 domains.. Sell them on, Making more and more Profit As you go Along.

    I think it is a great offer. The name is ok but I am not sure it is great. I always say "a bird in the hand is better than two in a bush."

    if i sell it isnt it better to wait till battlefield heroes is released which will be in 1-2 months i think. Since its a free game and made by EA i think it will generate alot of traffic or do i think wrong ?

    If you have a genuine interest in developing this site, I would not sell. 100 bucks is not allot of money and properly developed a site like that could bring allot of traffic. At least enough traffic to rake yourself a couple hundred bucks, and while doing something you enjoy at the same time...

    Like I said, you know you made the $100, the site could or could not bring you earnings. A well developed site can bring good earnings but along with that you have devote time and money to build the site. If you think you are willing to do that, keep it. However, if you are not that dedicated, make the profit and move on.

    You should hold out, develop the blog further and offer it for sale closer to the launch of the game when it would be worth a lot more.

    well u never know when money goes out of your hand, so in my opinion i think it is better that you sell the .com for the price you are getting, you could do a lot with that and still continue pursuing with other tld extensions.

    If the game is going to be successful and wide known then yes develop it a bit more and put it up for auction once the game gets launched and is getting more attention... think you'll get more money in the future for little work.

    If the game is crap and there won't be much hype then sell

    Well, I guess there are a few things to consider...

    1) Could you make more than $100 by developing the site? How would you monetize the site when you develop it? Adsense? Affiliate links? How long will it take you to get $100 and for how much effort?

    2) Are there any trademark breaches to consider? If there are, you may well get shut down at a later stage. If not, then surely the name would be more valuable when the game is actually released, but again comes back to 1) as to whether you can actually monetize the blog.

    Keep it and develop it
    With a 150 uv a day it, you would easily make 100$ in a month with adsense
    and when the game is out you will make much more

    I love how most people are so eager to tell you to sell for $100 bucks, like your making some kinda fortune at that. If your in the business of buying and selling domains then sure any profit is a good one. But unless you immediately reinvest in more domains that can also be sold at a profit, your party will be short lived. As to what else you can do with $100 bucks, I dunno, Sounds like dinner and beer to me ( assuming I am dining alone). Develop the site and use a combo of adsense and some kind of gaming affiliate. You shouldn't have a problem making $100 or more every month.
