Is this domain worth buying?

[Hivartei]

Hello BHW members,

So I won the auction for 2 domains, one for US$ 100 and another for US$ 15 on Namecheap. I believe it might be a good investment, both have catchy names, old, many searches on Google, and so on.

Should I close their deal or not? Are they maybe too expensive?

I don't know if I will use for the next 2 months or so since I have other projects, but I think it's good to keep...

This is the US$ 100:

And this is the US$ 15:

Both look good to me. If you decide not to buy, share with some friend. At least, someone should make benefit of it.

 

[sageshark]

Yeah, both look good to me for the prices they are coming for. It should be a great deal to have.

i think it s worth it tbh

I mean, at a first look they're definitely worth the price. But something intrigues me about the 1st domain. More specifically, I know from experience that short domain names (3-8 characters long) sell for $1000s, especially if their main keyword gets so much monthly traffic. So, the fact that you've managed to "win" the auction for a 6-letter domain for $100 smells fishy to me. In other words, I think the domain is heavily penalized by google, but if you don't intend to use it to rank in google you've got a great deal I guess

They, both, look good to me.

Hi Hivartei, what tool/website did you use for this (esitbot value, keywords, year registered, etc?) Thanks

 

[flprocess]

Both looks great, get them if you can.

 

[Hivartei]

I appreciate all your inputs, thanks a lot!

Ok this is great to know, thanks! Is there a way to see if a domain has been penalized by Google?

The domain is old and there only some really old outdated website a long time ago.

Hi Watty, this is standard info they provide at Namecheap Marketplace, about the domain they sell: https://www.namecheap.com/market/

I don't know. I mean, if you buy it and add it to your GSC sometimes you can see penalties, but not all penalties show up anymore, so there's still a chance you might not see it.

Google "Site:https://domain.com"
If there are pages that are still indexed, then there probably isn't a penalty

Both sites look good to me

Check its web archive to see whether it's spammed to death before the purchase

 

[Hivartei]

Thank you all for the kind replies. However, I bought the cheaper one for US$ 15 in order to see if I can sell or develop it in the near future.

I'm not in the proper mindset to make a 100$ gamble in this other domain which by the way is called:

Spoiler: domain name

sonara.org

This didn't look very promising to me though it has a high volume search.

Curious to know your thoughts on it though.

Best,

Hivartei

 

[Stuart Sergio]

Yes, Ofcourse it was worth for buying.

 

[JoeShuster]

Both sites have different keyword search worth its value 100$ has 42K and 15$ has 6K ans also name length also nearly same so both sites are good to me

gotta be kidding me bruh
as far as i know sonara is a pretty common female name(or words, songs) in south asian countries, turkey and in the arabs and im pretty damn sure the search volume comes from those countries
you should have tell us the domain name at your thread
if you bought it, it would definetly be a big L for your $100

 

[Rulingseo]

I think 1st one is a good investment and also looks pretty valuable,

both are different keywords, good to invest but 1st domain is a good buy and worth it.

 

[Jelly Baen]

both are worth buying, depending on which one is cleaner.
