Republic of Tatarstan is a federal subject of the Russian Federation (a republic). Its size is 68,000 km² with a population of 3,800,000

still no value?

The .PRO extension is dead. It was fun, but according to my data the party is over. Disable autorenew and/or delete from account ASAP. IMO.

Disclaimer: Please keep in mind that this is a FREE appraisal. This is a guess at quick flip resale value not an unrealistic end-user price. Often times my appraisals are rushed, too low, or too high. Sometimes my advice is totally wrong and occasionally downright dumb. If the post stamp is after 5:00pm EST, the chances are even greater that inaccuracies will occur due to blood alcohol levels.

lol.... Agree with the delete...

Total .pros registered have risen from 8,000 to 37,000 in 12 months. Just because Tatarstan.pro has no resale value, it doesn't mean the extension is dead. The keyword Tatarstan would would be difficult to sell in any extension other than .com and the geo suited .info.

I had 5 .pros in the Jan 2009 DomainFest in Hollywood, one of them was Hollywood.pro, it got no bidders with a reserve price of $1,100. If you can't sell Hollywood.pro at a domain auction in Hollywood, that doesn't bode well for Tatarstan.pro or any geo .pro.

For a geo to work in .pro it's got to be a blockbuster keyword. I hold France.pro, Italy.pro, Spain.pro, Hollywood.pro and London.pro. I am confident I could sell any of those domains on NamePros at any time for at least twice what I paid. I couldn't do that with the premium .coms and .infos I have bought on the aftermarket, invariably I've had to pay a full end user price or premium to reseller value to acquire them.

While .pro remains restricted and is only offered by 10% of registrars by volume to maybe 10% of domain registrants who are eligible to register, that's not going to change. However, if at some point if more than 1 in 100 domain registrants get offered .pro and can register it, there is scope for value appreciation.

However many new gTLD's ICANN sell off, my .pros will always be more aged than them so providing Google and other search engines don't change their algorithms, all other things being equal, they should rank higher.

Greg, I think you need to move on from bashing .pro, .pro is a baby extension, by making it your mission to hammer it at every opportunity, you look like a bully, bullies pick on kids smaller or weaker than themselves.

I don't like to badmouth any extension, but 37,000 is a really low number... But I guess if the keyword fits the ext, that's the main thing... I'm taking a chance on .tel and .me, so I guess I shouldn't put down any other ext.... Good luck with .pro!!

 

[scarecrow]

isnt that an IDN on .pro?
Reg fee on this one.

 

[akcampbell]

Yes, it's a really low number, I agree. But mathematically, if only 1 in 100 domain registrants are being offered .pro and are eligible to register it, it follows that if it was sold by more registrars and more people were eligible to register, that number could rise. Cutting reg fees from $99 to $20 and extending eligibility across all professions and countries has pushed up registrations from 6,000 to 37,000.

The next opportunity for a seismic shift in total .pros registered is in May 2010 when RegistryPro recontract with ICANN. .tel and .me are fine but they were big to begin with so I could never have got the same keyword quality and fit I hold in .pro. For a long time there were only 6,000 .pros registered and they cost $99 to register and renew so people dropped premium keywords and sold landrush domains for relatively modest sums.

The term "Tatarstan" is only taken in 25 total domains. There is not enough demand for the term to hold any value in .PRO

[djsochi]

so you advise 2 drop it

 

[bmugford]

I would say so. I just did a quick glance of .PRO and found several much better GEO domains available for hang reg.

Brad

so you advise 2 drop it

 

[GiftedDomains]

agree.
don't renew this DN if not sold

 

[MicroGuy]

so you advise 2 drop it

Yes! Drop it like it's hot. IMO.

Yes, drop Tatarstan.pro and replace it with something a smart domainer would register like TaxFinders.com. 366 Google uniques for this blockbuster phrase and obviously people want to find taxes not avoid them so it's only a matter of time before you sell it for $28 on Bido and retire.

Hippie.pro is available too
