   | Geo domains and their value? I have just started to get into geo domains recently and I am curious about a couple of questions have been on my mind. Are .us geo domains are worth anythig and if you find a country .ws will this have any value . Also which keywords are the most valuable after a city name I would like ten of these. What kid of geo domains would you guys buy meanig beside the whole city,state or country geo domain meaning keyword blend like dallashotels or something like that.

| If the city is in India, get the .in. If it is not do not get either. 20,000 people is not that much, especially for an alternate extension. If that is the population, only get .com or the specific country's extension that the town is in. |

  | I suggest getting Geos that aren't available in .com as .info. Your best choice IMO. This is screwy.. check out the Google ad selection for this thread! http://img329.imageshack.us/my.php?i...oogleadjy4.jpg

| IMO I'd have to disagree there as you can be specific with a .info such as GeoBicycleRepair.info and the ext would fit yet that would be a little inappropriate for a .tv (again, IMO).

| Be careful diving to hard into Geos. Cities under 50,000-100,000 probably aren't going to be worth much un-developed outside of dot com or possibly strong ccTLDs. Your better off buying XXXrestaurants, XXXrealestate, etc. on major city domains than buying non-dot com domains of smaller cities in my opinion.

| once the domain is not just a GEO, it lowers the value.. I used to have a bunch of citiesnameonline.com/net/org but they got so little traffic, gave up on them.. the names get too long and people don't care about long domain names.. If you buy cityname+restaurant/realestate/homes combo, you will still barely break even.. BAD BAD advice I don't think MOST people realise how hard it is to develop a GEO name and make it popular.. It is amazingly hard.. Will you go to yelp.com or oaklandrestaurants.com to find restaurants in oakland?? |

The first geo you develop will have a LOT of work associated with it, but once that is done you've got a template for all your other GEO domains. Copy over the template and adjustment information as needed, which means you can get up new GEOs every few days once you've spent a month building your template. You can now important weather information, movie information, and whatever else really easily these days. Heck, most airline/car rental/hotel companies have affiliate programs and actually help you build it into your website. I think to many domainers expect results with little work. I've had a lot of success, but I work 40 hours a week at my day job and 50-60 at night/weekends on my portfolio and websites. Unless you started domaining back in the late 90's/early 00's things won't come easy. Put some effort into your GEOs and you'll get good returns.
