ΠΟΔΗΛΑΤΑ.com - $50

[domainguru]

Just to make it clear, for at least some of the countries, these are "top gaining" keywords, not most searched keywords, completely different beasts.

Thanks domainguru, that makes sense.
Could you also kindly do a appraisal to the two Thai domains here so that I can adjust the prices?

All reserves lowed to $50.

กยศ.com is kinda weird, it's an acronym - comes from กองทุนให้กู้ยืมเพื่อการศึกษา

Best terms are probably กู้เงินเรียน or ทุนการศึกษา IMO. On the other hand, college kids have their own lingo, and I'm no college kid. Obviously some kids are using this. Final comment is this is bound to be seasonal; I would guess this to be the peak time.

พันธุ์สุนัข.com Dog breeds is good, but I'm not gonna try to put price tags on these.

Can anyone confirm the translation for ΠΟΔΗΛΑΤΑ?

I am pretty sure that this translates as meaning bicycles.

It is the unaccented version of the name.

AlexD is correct.

From truehits.net, daily searches for 10th October:
ทุนการศึกษา - 165
กยศ - 44
กู้เงินเรียน - 0

พันธุ์สุนัข - 0

So ทุนการศึกษา is the only really decent search term, and that is regged.

There is no link for site visitors. I have a paid account with them and can access the keyword tool through that.

And no, that isn't an invitation for everyone to send me their Thai names to ask how many searches they get....

Thanks everyone. Auction closes now and Steve won one domain ΠΟΔΗΛΑΤΑ.com - $50.
AlexD and yanni, could you please advise if the price is fair for Steve or not. If you think this one does not worth $50, I will stop the deal with Steve so to avoid Steve's loses. I simply relied on the google data and have no knowledge about Greek at all.

To domainguru:
Thanks again. I will keep the student loan domain. Also just regged two nets,
งานราชการ.net (xn--12clj3d7bc4hcc.net)
นักศึกษา.net (xn--12ca4excg8bl3a.net)
Care to share how do you feel about these two .

Not a big fan of Thai .nets (hard enough to find value in .coms atm so I think I only own a couple of .nets) but "งานราชการ" (government jobs) is a very strong term, 20K daily searches, so is a worthwhile reg. นักศึกษา.net (students.net) is a 1.5K per day search term, so not in the same league, but could easily be used for a developed website.

Thanks Guru,

Wonder why the same zeitgeist makes such a huge difference.

Definately worth it imo.

[Steve Clarke]

Thanks, Guys...

I am, happy with the name!

Hi Steve
You need to add it to you ND account. The domain is actually getting traffic from EU and North America.

[Steve Clarke]

Thanks, Bud.....added a while ago, just put in for an ownership review.

Thanks, again...Steve.
