I just bought i-love-you.com ..... what do you think it's worth? I just want to see if I got taken or not, heh.

It has 160+ links in search engines as well, not sure if that counts for much.

It is worth whatever you make it worth.

Seems like a good domain to put personals on and maybe some links to cam girls for those that want instant love. :D

I thought of the personals but the webcam idea is an excellent one and something that i can do more immediately. great idea cleo, thanks!

check out what your 160+ links are for and go with that, ie, if they are mostly for lesbian midget porn then use it to promote lesbian midget sites |bananna| That way you will make the most of your existing linkpop

cheers!

Where are you finding those links? alltheweb.com shows 22 links and Google has 1 link.

http://uk.dir.yahoo.com/regional/countries/united_kingdom/business_and_economy/shopping_and_services/Gifts_and_Occasions/

"i-love-you.com - offers wish list, reminder service, and multi-level search function."

I think the 'wish list' you'd have in mind is a tad different from the previous owner. :)

Doesn't seem they did much with it:

http://web.archive.org/web/*/www.i-love-you.com

It is a nice domain with great marketing potential. I think that is it's true value.

Did you use a bid service like snapnames, etc... or just happen across it?

Good luck- nice find.

paid $50 for it as it's about to expire. i figured i couldn't lose for 50 bucks on a term that is so well known, even with hyphens.

Cleo has it right, make it worthless and it will be worthless, make it usefull along with the 160+ SE Links, and youll have something worth something.

is almost impossible to put a value on a domain name because you have to factor in the persons marketing skills.

Jason-

Pretty much what Cleo said. But I'd probably pay fifty dollars for it easily myself if I wasn't so lazy as to end up doing nothing with it and wasting the money. :D

It is somewhat catchy, probably porn isn't exactly the best utilization for it tho. Mainstream or "semi-mainstream". Lots of stuff you could do. Sell out sub-domains and put up basic templates with pictures (provided by users) and a custom message for customers on subdomains like Vickie.i-love-you.com for $20 a pop or whatever. Ok, that's a bit corny, but you get the point. Your imagination.

Good luck with it.

For 50bucks I think you did alright. :)

Another possibility for the site is ecards. ;)

Jason, $50 is a reasonable price. Get building.
