Acquired Fridges.com

I was busy over past few days and didn’t have time to blog. I have acquired Fridges.com and I am planning to develop it into a website dedicated to fridges as well as freezers.
I had done my research before I acquired the domain and according to google adword tool, there are around 200,000 EXACT searches per month for the keyword “fridges” and 550,000 EXACT searches pre month for the keywrod “fridge“.
“Fridge” is a short version for “refrigerators” and in the UK, we only use “fridge” or “fridges” and in the catelog, you would mostly see “fridges” rather than “refrigerators”. In Australia, the same applies, I think. Some people told me that in the US also, people use “fridges” instead of “refrigerators” in some parts.
If you have any suggestions regarding this domain, I appreciate any development ideas or even website examples.

How much did you pay ??? xx,xxx ? xxx,xxx ?
I had a feeling from some 1980′s punk song that the American term was fidgidaire, but it turns it is a brand name. The site may be useful for ideas though – http://www.frigidaire.com/
As a Brit I like it a lot, and like Arbel would also be interested in the price.
One problem I have when building sites myself is that I need to be very interested in the subject to keep up the effort. Of course if you are outsourcing or are a fridge fan you’ll have no problem with that.
Nice buy! Appliances seem a little harder to convert with ebay/amazon platform. I’m trying out this datafeed script for joomla – http://www.affiliatefeeds.nl (compatible with linkshare,CJ, shareasale, etc) Only problem is they have limited english documentation. good luck with the name, it’s a great one.
A comparison site may be the way to go with it?
something like
http://www.moneysupermarket.com/c/shopping/sp/household-products/fridge-freezers/
or http://brands-uncovered.co.uk/fridgefreezer/
ps, FS owns Fridgefreezers.com which is more commonly used in UK IMO
Good Luck
I would think mini fridges. Like the little ones by the couch.
But refridgerators for sure.
The abbreviation is what a lot of lazy people type in, great buy.
Nice acquisition, I’m in the US and I rarely hear anyone say the full word, mostly “fridge”. Good luck with the development project!
Very nice name! Would be interesting to know in what price range you bought it for.
I would sure love to have that name, I currently have a site located at portableminifridges.net – fridges.com would be a quite nice upgrade from that
I concur with Michael. I’m from New York and fridge is a common abbreviation used.
Amazing name, congrats on the buy. Try out Epik Product Portals and see if that does anything for you. Currently making around $60 a month on hyphen’d domains as a test. I may be moving more to them in the near future if rankings pick up and stay there.
Nice Buy!
