Insurance Domain Names

mickeystones · 09-18-2009, 09:58 AM

Does everyone out there have a good insurance domain name(s) for their website?

I have quite a few domains and would like others to share what they have as I am considering auctioning off a few of my own.

The three domains I own and do not (currently) use are:

Buy-term-insurance dot com

Health-saving dot com

Single-premium dot com

Any opinions on how good these domain names are? Any input is much appreciated as I'm not sure whether to utilize these myself or sell them off.

Thanks!

YOu won't get much for those names. Those names would get no traffic unless someone pushes them to the sites and just about any other insurance name would be the same.

"someone pushes them to the sites"

With patience, the right help, the ability to write, and spending consistent time...a good site can be developed...even with those domain names.

Of course, there are plenty of good ones (especially state-specific) that are still available for $7.

I've still got www.obamahealthplan.com and have not had any offers what so ever for it.

Domains are a dime a dozen.

20-years from now the Obamahealthplan domain will be great for a "remember when" type of site.

DO you actually have those dashes in between the words? If so it decreases the resale market value.

CHUMPS FROM OXFORD · 09-18-2009, 07:14 PM

The resale goes down but if you have some good key words and only a dash or two, you can work with it.

Disclaimer: I am not an SEO expert. I am meerly a poor boy from Peru. And yes...I know I misspelled "meerly." Well, I was too poor to go to skool (yes, I know!!!) and I never learned how to spell.

any domain will work, its all about driving traffic to it. you cannot depend on google to do it for you. depending on google to do it for you is equivalent to waiting for someone to drive by your home office, stop in and hand you a check for 1 million dollars to invest in a variable annuity. =)

Yeah.....one dash per domain. I wish I had those without the dashes but they still seem a heckuva lot better than alot of other domain names out there.

I noticed a company you work with "HSA For America" has the following domain: health-savings-accounts dot com.

Seems like they do very well with that! My health-saving dot com seems more valuable than that and 2 less dashes! My domain would be more of a catch-all name as opposed to the HSA specific site....which might be something that peters out under Obamacare......of course, HSA's could become even more mainstream too!

As others said, it's not so much the name but the methods on driving people to the website that is most important.

There are better names to be had and only for $7.

The domain names does not drive traffic to your site in most cases. It is up to you to move traffic to your site and any domain name is about the same, as long as it is easy to remember and spell.

I'll repost one of my responses from a few weeks ago:

I would rather have short name than a long one.

Also the name is not very important other than people can remembwr it from an Ad!

Markingriffin · 09-23-2009, 05:30 AM

HOw much did you sell them for or are they going for right now?

where can i find a $7 domain name and what do you think of Annuities4Life.com

Would people type in annuities if they were googling it???

CHUMPS FROM OXFORD · 09-24-2009, 03:24 PM

JM....Your best answer would come from an SEO expert, not Mark (no offense Mark). Maybe Dave, Val, Alston or some of the other SEO icons (not neo-cons!) can help you with that question.
