Betelgeuse(.)com - Star name, 1996 reg, HUGE search, PR3! Cool mainstream brandable!
 

Betelgeuse.com is for sale! This is the first time I've posted this on forums and should be the last as well. :)

More and more, the successful sites on the web are the ones that stand out the most and are most remembered. Part of being remembered is having a name that sticks in people's minds with a ring of familiarity. Betelgeuse is one of those names. You've likely heard it at least once in your life between the popular huge star near Orion and the movie that played off its name, Beetlejuice.

Truth is, people don't just hear of it - they search it. Betelgeuse has an average of 40,500 searches per month EXACT on Google - 14,800 by US alone. So it's there already in people's minds, which makes it a GREAT brand possibility, as stars often have. One of the recent examples is Sirius, named after the brightest star in the sky.

For the SEOs out there, the age and PR won't hurt either - this domain is 15 years old and it has Pagerank 3! So unlike most brands you could get right now, this is primed for success right out the gate - you have visibility (search), authority (PR) and establishment (age), a potent combination to make your startup BOOM! (or should I say supernova? :))

Price: $3,000. PM me if you have any questions.

Payment options include bank wire, Bank of America counter deposit or escrow via Escrow.com (buyer pays escrow fees). Multi-forum post, timestamp determines who gets the domain. Post or PM SOLD with which names you wish to buy. All sales are final.

Have someone interested at $2,000 - will split the difference and say $2,500 gets it!

Tempting but out my price range at the moment.

Good luck man :thumbsup

Last call at $2,500 for this gem.

Cool ass domain, to be sure, for the right project!

Someone's interested but won't be able to pay til next week...anyone else cutthroat enough to nab it for $2,500 right away?

Bump so Ford Prefect can see it.
