"CamGirls.com" obviously has value to you, the current owner because you see its possibilities. You see a brand in there somewhere. The value of your domain, is in this idea and this idea alone. You imagine a mega cam site, populated with stunning sexy models and tens of thousands of eager customers shelling out top dollars to chat with them, all under the big giant C A M G I R L S . C O M signage.

This is a great dream. You clearly see this. Shit, *I* see it. It's a good name!.

What you need to do now is to concentrate on building this dream up. Partner with someone, or hire programmers and designers. Start building your dream, and stop quoting numbers. It is pointless to talk about how much traffic it COULD get or currently gets from Type-in traffic. It's useless to talk about potential sales at this point. These numbers are nothing compared to what it can do when properly branded, built, and in operation.

A good domain name need not be a description of what it offers. Do the names GOOGLE and YAHOO make you think "Search"? Today they do, but without branding and the products they have become, they mean nothing.

CamGirls Guy: What you need to do is to find a partner to help you to develop the domain into the brand you dream it can be. Don't quote numbers now: They are completely meaningless. You can only begin to guess at the numbers when you know your actual costs, your actual sale points, your advertising budget, where your customers will come from, and EXACTLY how you will convert them. Until then, it's all just a big fog.

You liked the domain name enough to drop hundreds of thousands of dollars on it. Congratulations on your purchase. Now you need to take the next step and INVEST in your INVESTMENT. Get cracking on BUILDING already.
