zlf.com sold on Bido in Feb. for $3,679, the last bid that I saw on SnapNames was $8,750.00 (I’m not sure what it ended up selling for…but it had several bidders in the last hour of bidding on May 26th 2009).

Note:

according to whois, it is still in the sellers account so it’s not really a “sale” yet (until it is paid for).

CreditCardAPR.com sold for $1400 yesterday at Sedo. I regret that I did not bid more on it. If I wasn’t so damn poor at the moment, I would have.

Google Keywords Tool says it gets 49,500 broad searches, 8,100 phrase searches, and 2,400 exact searches a month. Estibot puts CPC at a whopping $19, and estimates value at $10K.

Check My Credit:
Broad: 14,800
Phrase: 12,100
Exact: 1,900

Estibot puts CPC at $13, and estimates value at $11K.

Either this one flew under a lot of heavy hitters’ radar, or I just don’t get the whole domain name thing.

I know you hate it when posters say this Mike, but somebody got a steal on this one.

RE: Erik Zubkov “I just think checkmycredit.com is an easymoneymaker, don’t you?”

Not really! The average person wanting to check their credit is poor and in trouble and they want a free credit check.

The average person going to LikeNewCredit.com is also poor and in trouble, but is looking for a solution and is willing to pay for it. The site could be easily monetized not only with Google AdWords, but with any number of self-help, residual income products. Or you could funnel leads to a credit repair company. Or. . .well, you get the idea.

i was bidding on checkmycredit.com and would have paid that amount if i had the money to do it. think about it…. it gets a ton of searches each month and all you have to do is throw up a CPA offer to “check my credit” that pays $8 perlead and getv 3,000 people to go for a 30 day free trial to break even. drive enough traffic and that number could be hit every month. then flip the site for 200k in under a minute. just one man’s opinion – i wish i hadnt jumped into the stock market head first or i would own that domain right now. but my stocks are up over 20 % in less than 2 months so im not bitching. i just think checkmycredit.com is an easy moneymaker, dont you?

@MHB

Thanks for the explanation. I totally looked over the gambling part. I’m not a big gambler unless it’s betting on a good generic domain name.

You won’t see any advertisers under bookmakers in the US as it’s a gambling term and neither Google or Yahoo will allow ads for gambling in the US.

Of course its a large world afterall, and in the rest of it, gambling is fine and dandy so in all other countries you’ll see ads.

I think for a gambling company the domain was a good buy.

Yes bookmakers.com is worth 6 figures plus.
