What do you think of this domain name, for a bidding directory?

    I own the domain www.golfum.com and currently don't use it. I may invest quite a bit of money and make it a bidding directory, what do you think?

    It sounds like "golf" or something to do with golf.

    Golf something :) Not a general bidding directory. ohhh A Golfing Bid directory.... Not sure how many people in that industry are worried about bidding directory traffic though.

    Definitely sounds like golf. I would not recommend using it for a bid directory unless it's niche for golf.

    It can be a golf-related site and it can also be branded as Golfum (Gold Farm)? I guess it depends on you on whether you want to use it for a bid directory or otherwise but if I own this domain, I will certainly market it as a brand.

    It's a good domain name for golf-related sites . :) , not suitable for general bid directory

    I think with respect taking into consideration all the hard work you will have to put into establishing the Directory, will be an effort in vain, why? Because one of the value added benefits of establishing a successful directory is the opportunity to sell it on at a later date

    The name will be the stumbling block with this URL as for many the golf connection issue will be the reason not to buy
    imho
