What .gurus Do You Have?

P.S. I have no .guru domains..

Going by stats .guru is already showing good traction. I have registered

- eternalnirvana.guru : Plays on the 'guru' part people do actually look for gurus when it comes to spirituality and religion.

- travelbargains.guru : travel is one of the biggest categories online

- personalinvestments.guru : i think 'guru' adds a stamp of authority to anyone owning this name and sharing advice in the finance space

Happy to hear the group's thoughts on these names.

I don't know heart.guru is someone I would definitely trust if it came down to selecting the best cardiologist...

I am not a huge fan of the new extensions in general, but if I was forced to buy some it would be with one word on the left and one on the right. Phrase hacks separated by a dot. I don't think most 2 word terms are strong enough to have value in these extensions, with some exceptions.

Eternal Nirvana is only taken in .COM. It is available to reg in NET, ORG, and pretty much any other extension.

Travel Bargins - It is a decent two word term in a marginal extension. There are plenty of substitutes for that term - Travel Discounts, Travel Deals, Discount Travel, etc.

Personal Investments - I don't think anyone who is serious about investments would use a .GURU. It just looks unprofessional and cheesy.

In this case, travel.bargains and personal.investments would be best. Though, I'm sure the original (didn't check the websites) owner had to have paid more than general availability for them.

Does anyone recall .mobi?

This was a new "new extension" back in 2005.

It was backed, supported and partially financed by some companies that may be "known"(Google, Microsoft, Nokia, Samsung, Ericsson, Vodafone......)

For anyone new to this industry just research what happened as with "most" new extensions.

.Guru??

History always repeats itself....

It's really up to the domainers (registrars) to shove it down peoples throats. If we're passive holding onto good names, we'll drop and registrars win. If we're active, we could make sales off of the marketing that registrars are putting in.

However, names that just don't make sense in the ngTLD or are just plain bad (.ooo, .xyz) aren't going anywhere.

Yeah but .guru is still kinda funky really, it got lots of possible competitors and no search volume.
You know what amazed me about .xyz (don't get me wrong wouldn't reg it for free) a domainer sold three of them already for high $$$ and low $$$$. Geo.xyz, not huge amounts of money but still worth the fuss for many domainers. But hey probably the marketing making that effect, but there are no such marketing for .guru.

I would have to disagree. If my memory recalls, .guru was the first to be pimped out by GoDaddy for many weeks.

So .guru hire popular bloggers, fake reg domains every day, give away 500k domains for free, and buys http://com.com and so on?

I think you are referring to .xyz in this... not sure what you're getting at. Not defending .guru in anyway, I think it's a poor ngTLD unless used for a CTA page.

Yup the differance in marketing between the two pretty useless extenstions, whereas one leads to a better aftermarket and one to an non-existent aftermarket. But in the end both are shit, no offence
