question Are geo domain still valuable?

There used to be a time when if you wanted to rank for 'Red Bicycles For Sale in Nigeria', all you had to do was register the domain redbicyclesforsaleinnigeria.com and stuff your content with that phrase.

Google doesn't work that way anymore. Someone with the domain name, wheels.com or redbikes.com or uloko.com can rank for 'Red Bicycles For Sale in Nigeria' if they work on having quality content on their site.

Someone might have sportswear.com and nike.com will still outrank them for the keyword, 'Sportswear.'

It's deceptive telling prospective buyers of geo domains about non-existent traffic data or that they will rank on Google if they buy those names. Just leave that out when you pitch those kind of names.

Best of luck

PS: It's also no wonder that some of the geo domains that sell, drop after a year or two when the new owners realize there's no magical domain that will do their SEO for them.
