dot travel and other recent TLD's: why hardly valued?

JPBlankert · 02-06-2010, 04:24 PM

Why are reasonably new purposeful TLD's as .jobs and .travel hardly valued by search engines?

You never come them across through 'normal' searching (one has to specifically search for .jobs or .travel domains).

And when they exist, as for example Amsterdam.travel, they have a mirror, like Portal to Amsterdam - I amsterdam. IAmsterdan ranks very high in search, Amsterdam.travel almost nowhere. The same with .jobs. Why are people registering and hosting dot jobs and dot travel?

Will there ever a 'switch button' go on and will .travel, .jobs and .aero be valued?

I guessed the purpose of these new TLD's would be: in whatever script or language a search is entered, if it relates to 'work'/'jobs'/ 'travaille'/'Arbeit' that .jobs site would rank higest.

Is this right or wrong? Whem do you guess the 'switch' will happen?

I doubt there will be any switch anytime soon. I think the market is flat overall and even .com's are not worth much compared to a few years ago.
