domain podcasts (.) org

[nydomain]

Single word .org domain that was originally registered in 2004 when podcasts started taking off. Podcasts get ~100k - 1M google searches monthly in the US. While it's not .com, kind of curious how you'd value podcasts in .org- particularly for end users. Not looking to sell atm, just curious. Thank you!

It is a great domain name, with podcasts showing no signs of losing momentum in either listenership or monetization. It is taken in 135 TLDs, with quite a few listed for sale, although many as make offer (including this and .net -- the .com is developed).

This is one name where I think the plural is better than the singular, and where the .org is as good, or nearly as good, as the .com. Lots of possible types of site that could sit on it.

I am not good at valuations of names this valuable, but would agree with what @The Durfer and @Compassion gave above.

Best wishes when you do decide to sell it.

Bob

Note: Just to be transparent with any possible conflict of interest, I do hold the same word in a new gTLD.

Respectfully, I think your estimate is too low, LazyDomainz. Admittedly the sales in org involving podcast are just $$$ but those are all much narrower two word domain names.

If we look at the exact word podcasts, it sold for $16,000 in the .tv extension in 2017, $8300 in .fr back in 2013, $3900 in .it, and $2600 in .net but back in 2006. While one might argue .net and .org are somewhat similar in value for this word, value of a name including podcast is much higher now than in 2006. For example, the .tv podcasts name sold for $2000 in 2006 and $16,000 in 2017. I think the 2020 value of podcasts in .org is something in the mid $$$$ to low/mid $$$$$ range, as others suggested above.

Just my opinion.

beg to differ.
org is not something podcast companies would like, imo. dict word .org sales in past have been low.

ccTLD has a different fan base, you can relate French podcasts, and Podcasts TV on other hand. But Podcasts organisation is a bit hard to relate to my taste.

Low 5 figure domain name, all the best with it.

Of course not the only use of domains is for a company offering that service, and many names go to companies with plans to operate monetized links to services, and I can definitely see podcasts working that way - either services for podcast producers, or a directory of podcasts themselves (latter has of course stiff competition).

But, that said, I don't buy your argument about low past sales in generic words. A few examples

• poker.org $1 million
• casinos.org $400,000
• engineering.org $198,000
• bingo.org $75,000
• boats.org $50,200
• physicians.org $45,000

to name just a few. Even multiple word names for clearly for-profit operations have gone for a lot in .org AutoInsurance.org for $440,000, FreeCreditScore.org for $123,000 and GiftCards.org for $45,700.

I think the view that .org is not used for business is dated. Personally, I wish that the domain system had developed in a way so that the original intention of an extension had persisted, but it hasn't, and .org is finding wide use.

Just my opinion. But I think based on some strong supporting evidence. I respect your right to feel differently, of course.

A sincere welcome to NamePros, and look forward to your contributions, even if I disagree with you on this one.

thanks, appreciate.

but i think podcasts.global, podcasts.tv, .fr could be a better name but not podcasts.org, stick to my first point.

health podcasts
environmental podcasts
non profit / charity podcasts

The above have many many results, websites and listeners and there is huge growth potential as voice SEO starts to take on much more significance.

Cracker of name that would fit the extension perfectly if a company / organisation in any of the above niches wants it.

Not sure on value, but I would be looking for 10k - 15k if I owned it......
