Interesting thread: The coming bear market for Geo domains ?

June 27, 2011 by Raymond Hackney

In a thread getting a lot of interest on Namepros.com, a poster has called a major bear market for Geo domains due to the new Gtld being passed.

Seems a little presumptive with a lot of info still to come.

Read the thread here :http://www.namepros.com/domain-name-discussion/720489-major-bear-market-expected-geo-domains.html

    I really doubt that just look at the owner who bought arizonainsurance.com, nevadainsurance.com and all the geo state insurance names they just bought.
    Geo domain names are huge. Try six figures for any state geo domain name. How is that for this guy who wrote geo is going down..
    What a dude

    “In our opinion there is little doubt as time goes by the word Scottsdale will prevail as the most popular choice, relegating Scottsdale.com to 2nd tier status, which dot-com decline would be ongoing and the scottsdale.com down-trend be more pronounced as time goes by.”

    Nutty in my view. The extension (.scottsdale) is way too long to be usable and from the get go it is something nobody has heard of.
    I think new tlds will effect all tlds to some degree including .com but long city names make little sense in my view. The only people who would use an extension like that is a government department full of bureaucrats and money but lacking business sense.
    Personally I think any widening of choice is bad for existing extensions. .com to a small degree, new tlds and alt extensions (.us, .mobi, .tv, .net, .co etc) to a large degree but stuff like .scottsdale makes no sense to me.

    This NP thread is one of the dumbest I’ve come across in my four plus years on the thing. The poster Senior Living echos my sentiments. .LA, .CO (as a geo), and .SC have not taken off and the logic that it is because they are ccTLDs doesn’t wash. Extensions are brands. Either the brand has value or it doesn’t. The average person doesn’t know the difference between a ccTLD and a gTLD.

    I only read NP threads for the tags 🙂
    I don’t know who did them except I’m pretty sure Rod put Bikinis.net
