Keep or drop?

Would you renew τιμη.com (price) and απασχόληση.com (Employment)

They get almost no monthly traffic. Any help appreciated.

They probably won't get any traffic any time soon.

απασχόληση is more like "occupation" with a broader meaning of employment.

Tough call on both because you never know what the future holds. But I believe that the near future doesn't hold much.

If I were to keep one, I would most likely keep the second one.

Thanks a lot Yanni.

I was curious if you would have the same same views for the .gr equivalents?

[yanni]

Tricky question. Even though I prefer .com, the surfers in Greece like .gr
The Greek webmasters/domain investors prefer the .com since it has a track record. They most definately loathe IDN.gr, except for a few who have managed to grab the cream of the crop.
.GR aftersales market is almost non-existent.

I like .gr because it seems to get placement preference in google.gr and many Greek S.E.s
For development purposes, it would fit my needs and capabilities.

Ideally, one day, I will develop all my .gr idns (!), even if most are mini-sites. I only have around 80 or so, so it's possible Even in the worst case, I can write my own content that will at least make sense to the surfer; something that I can't do with the other languages.
I can also approach certain businesses and offer services. Tough job but could be done if need be.

So, to answer your question without getting carried away any more, I would keep απασχόληση for the reasons above, not for potential resale value.

I see, very interesting. Thanks again

Two great areas of development/earnings: price comparison and jobs.

What do you think about greek .net domains? Are there of any value, or would the wait for any resale value be too long and not worth the registration fee? I have a few good keyword .nets but can't decide whether to keep or drop

I have a few Greek IDN.nets that do very well with traffic, so it really depends on whether or not you are seeing any traffic on them. Others I have get zero traffic, but these will not be parked forever as I am starting to workout a schedule for developing many of my Greek IDNs. I am quite confident that they will do pretty well once I have got them up and working as sites, rather than parking them all.
