I got freeps3s.us and was wondering if it's any good? Will I get any refs from it... or does nobody know .usurl==http://=http:///url domains P My site is jordo.us where I host my crap so I mean I like .usurl==http://=http:///url but... is there any way to make freeps3s.us valuable?

I own blingbling.us and I got a $250 offer on it before and it's been appraised at $500. .usurl==http://=http:///url domain names are going to increase in value in the future, they aren't worth that much right now unless you have a really good domain. Check dnforum.com for more info.

freeps3s.us is pretty good for the freebie world then?

Well probably not that much right now, but maybe more later. I don't know of any big free sites that use a .usurl==http://=http:///url domain.

At least .usurl==http://=http:///url is short. There are worse four letter TLDs out there. D

For right now I dont think you can get referrals from it. I doubt many people will type in freepsps.us. They are becoming more valueable though in a few years

well, I think it is useful for advertising so it redirects to your ref link. In case you make posters or had out flyers for it.

yeah, it would be great for flyers.. thats a good idea.

I don't think .usurl==http://=http:///url freesites are a bad idea. Why would they be, after all? Something like freeipods.us is far better than newvideoipods4free and such. You know we're running out of good names when I can't even remember the URL of the site I'm working on.

shamash Open your own freesite. )

EDIT I just looked at the availability of some popular freesite names with a .usurl==http://=http:///url suffix, and all of them were available. If I were to open a freesite open only to the U.S., I would definitely choose a .usurl==http://=http:///url site.

What all are you going to offer?

shamash

It's a rafflesite... but it will be worth it. Since it won't cost a penny.

it was

if all you plan to do is get refs then you are going to have to do a lot more than hope people type in that site name.

I also dont see why anyone would want to buy that site from you when they can just as easily buy their own domain name variation.

i own theps34free.com

i spent $3 at yahoo for it, its just a redirect

but I dont get anyone typing it in and going there. I imagine you won't either. You'll have to advertise it
