Hi,

I have a pr3 tech site and I offered to sell links on it on another forum, few guys contacted me. But then a guy complained about the rates and said that mys domain is a drop down domain.. what does it actually mean?
Is it a technical term or was he just saying that the site is not good enough??

    I did a little Google research for you and couldn't find any clear answer for you.. Now I'm curious. Maybe you could ask him for a specific reason he isn't interested in the domain. His answer may either reveal what this slang term means or that he just doesn't see/know the value in your domain.

    I think it means that your domain wasn't renewed by it's owner and was left to expire,that is called a dropped domain,maybe that's what he meant.

      well if thats the meaning of a dropdown domain, I am pretty sure my domain isn't a drop down.

        To find out the history of your domain go here and enter your domain,it will tell you if it was dropped before.

          well I've looked my website there. I mostly tells me about my webhost because my info is masked or something..
          But even if it was dropped, does it make my site less valuable.. An my domain is a top level domain with .com extension

            No,I wouldn't worry about things like that,I have a few domains that were let to expire by previous owners and they rank just as good as any other domain I have,these types of things are way over exaggerated by people sometimes.

    Maybe he meant something along the lines of your site not being a top level domain. For example if your website URL is something like www.yoursite.freewebsites.com, Your website would not be a top level domain because it is just a sub domain of freewebsites.com instead of it being actually yoursite.com

    Does that make sense?
