Ditto! I wanted to make a website to sell this random lot of motorbike grips i bought and lo and behold! Motorbikeparts.co.uk and bikelife are taken... who trusts a site like “motorbokeparts.org” as an ecommerce site?

I think the way Google does their search results now it might make this harder. Google's search engine is absolutely dreadful these days.

What makes you think google makes this harder?

google aren’t responsible for driving traffic to a site, that’s the site owner and their contents responsibility.

My thinking was that domain names are less relevant as only the known brands are now towards the front. Or it seems that way to me, anyway.

You are thinking about people just googling a brand name which isn't what people tend to do in Google, they ask questions

'Cheap Toaster'
'Cheap good laptop'
'Samsung TV'

very few people actually go to google and type in 'Samsung Website'

so if I bought cheaptoaster.co.uk or cheapgoodlaptop.co.uk they could be sold for good money (not that the domains are available anymore lol)

You're probably right, I know next to nothing about this sort of thing. All I know is I hate the way Google search results appear now.

What is it you don't like?

Go do Web Search Evaluator work for Appen. You can help shape the results Google put out that way! lol

It seems to me that only major/advertised sites come up prominently now. And the layout has changed to show less information about the results. I think I applied for Appen ages ago and forgot about it :)

the domain is manchesterfirework.co.uk i’d let it go for anything really. Just don’t have the time or money any more to set up a firework shop and 90% of our sales were through snapchat anyway.

I see you’ve got it on DomainLore at the moment so hopefully it will sell
