[SOLVED] Domain Name Brokers

**Steadings** · 09-01-2009, 11:01 AM

Hi Guys.

I recieved the following email

"We are Domain Name Brokers and we are offering you a fantastic opportunity to purchase a Top Level Descriptive name for your business:

The name www.bandbhawick.co.uk is available to simply point to your current website.

We are sure you will agree that this is a very descriptive name and these names can potentially help increase visitors to your website. This costs just £50.00 per year and once purchased will be pointed directly to your current website within 24 hours."

The company also phoned after I emailed back and explained that it would enhance my own web site ranking as it contains keywords that I have for my site which is http://www.scottishbordersbandb.co.uk/. I should point out that Hawick is a nearby town to where we run a B&B in the Scottish Borders.

Since the URL is curently available can I do this myself, if what they claim is true?
I hope this makes sense and is in the right forum.

Regards

Search through different domain breakers. You will be able to get a .co.uk for alot cheaper that £50 for a year/2years.

Hi
Thanks for your reply.
I have a .co.uk already and can purchace the one in the brokers email myself for under £3 for two years. Its the bit about linking it to my .co.uk site to increase its ranking on search engines that I wanted to know how to do, as that is the bit that the company is really charging for.
