I have the pair 18Directory.com and 18Directory.co.uk
I was thinking of opening an adult themed directory as the domains seem perfect for it.

I'd be interested to know what you think they are worth as I haven't got a clue, and having the pair might increase the value?

Also.. do you have to pay to list a site on SEDO if it doesn't sell?

thanks in adv...

James.

like all hostnames;

undeveloped, they are worth the reg fee or what some fool will pay for them.

Why do you say that? - If I owned Money.com I'd say it was worth more than reg fee even if it was not developed.

Capture.net and lowflights.com are both going for $10K+ on sedo right now - and they don't have any content. Even turkish.net is about $6K with no site.

That's where this bit comes in to the equation

what some fool will pay for them.

The hostname has no intrinsic value when it comes down to actually earning revenue. How the leasee can make the site earn money located at that name is what matters.

Having the most memorable, "typeable" hostname in existence won't make a bit of difference if the site doesn't convert.

True but I have had much more success with domains matching my keywords than not. And it is surprising how much type in traffic some domains get. TownDeeds, I think your domains are only worth reg fee though. They have a spammy look to them IMO and you will probably never rank for the word Directory without a ton of work.

Thanks for the feedback guys.
I don't think the domain 18Directory looks particularly spammy, something like directory-4-adults.com would look a bit suspect though

Yup, that's cool.
