Wich geo .infos do you think are better?

Which of these would you say has better value.

One like Dallastx.info?

Or say just dallas.info?

I know for the larger cities like dallas the one without the state on the end would be better but say for like smaller cities that may have the same name in other states.

dallas.info >>>>> dallastx.info, i am from dallas and collect geo domains related to dallas, I would not spend any money on dallastx.info, probably would not even reg it, but dallas.info on the other hand would make me get my wallet out.

Dallas.info is a great name, though anything not dot com in the Geo space is nothing to get excited about.

Dallastx.info is an awful name. I would rather have a DallasTexas.info or something similar, though the city/state combo in the info extension is pretty bad either way.

Yes you won't get Dallas.info cheap unless the seller is unaware of the value. With .info I would always be using whole words and not abbreviations. DallasBuses.info is an example of a good one.

I will have to disagree with you there partner, some of my best performing parked domains are town.info's with less than a 5k population.

eieio, you seem like a pretty nice and helpful person, I have some questions if you don't mind. What are you doing with your town.info's? Are they parked? Or are they developed with basic information about the town? Any information would help me greatly and thanks. I live just north of denton by the way...

Trickac14 - the majority of my town.info's are parked with namedrive. I get the best .info conversions with them. I do have plans to develop them at some point though into a network of informational sites to server the citizens of those towns. I will not develop them to the point I develop my city or town.coms but they do perform good CTR for me.

Where do you live North of Denton? I actually live north of Denton myself, it's just easier to say Dallas to anyone that don't know the Metroplex cause they don't know wtf Denton is lol.

oh yea, sure do. Well thats neat. Another question about the town.info's are the ones that are receiving decent traffic big towns? Because I am wondering if a town with a pop. of 2,000 or lower would be very effective.

well Jacksboro.info gets about 12-15 uniques per week and 3-5 clicks, it makes about $0.85-2.00 a week. Now as far as traffic thats not alot but it is high CTR, and when you consider that .info's are only $1.99/year you are making $100+ per year off of a $1.99 investment, thats pretty good money in my book plus as i stated im a texas geo collector

as of right now I am regging the heck out of some town.infos that aren't just pure trash. They all have pops at a bout 2,000 and I just found one that has a lot of history to it with civil war battles and one of the oldest towns in the state. Where do you reg names at? Godaddy has the info's at just .99 cents.

not sure where you get that from?

.info is commonly regarded as 'the' geo extension

ok, the com is best for almost everything and of course you would choose first as often built in traffic and com extremely valuable, but info fits geo like a glove .

for example: http://spain.info/

btw to the o/p:

dallas.info is worth high $xxxx up

dallastx.info is worth $xx imho
