.tv The Geo .TV aftermarket and recent sales

[localexperts]

Yes, I'm back for a minute. Lots of back room discussions (most at 2AM EST when I should be in bed) going on about the Geo .TVs. My impression is that the Geo .TV aftermarket window is closed. I think Poodleman swept up the remaining Geos this week. A couple things remain in the lower end, but nothing in the top 150 cities or top 100 MSAs.

Most of the Tier 1 Geos are in the hands of end users or folks want to hold them.

Our final purchases were:

MyrtleBeach.tv
Sarasota.tv (to go with Bradenton.tv)
Daytona.tv
StLouis.tv
Knoxville.tv
Stockton.tv
Tacoma.tv
DesMoines.tv
Chesapeake.tv (3rd largest city in Virginia)
Hialeah.tv

We are now down to a battle of the dueling GEO .TV networks.

May the best team win.

the thing with geos is that they are not that competitive with each other...

 

[localexperts]

I agree,

but I think it is akin to a bunch of soccer moms. One soccer mom doesn't compete against the others, but they sit around all day trying to look better than the others moms in their inner circle (having cosmetic surgery, etc) so can feel good about themselves.

Our business goal is to be the implants.

I think George may have been referring to any other GEO neworks that own a variation of the same name geo.......whomever has the generic has the advantage for sure, but a company that puts MYXXX.TV in front of every geo will be developing the same turf, and if the concept is good, it can not only be competition - it can beat the competition........

At leat that is what I think George meant

 

[localexperts]

Correct, for example a site like impel.TV has Geos.

Having won another space with the worst domain name in history, I can tell you the domain name makes your job easier (due to branding advantage), but you can win the game with MyDetroit.tv if your business model is superior.

That means if you are the most effective at acquiring, monetizing, and holding your traffic.

And yes, you can take that to mean, that even if we don't have a domain name (for example Atlanta.tv) or partnership, it will not deter me from entering that market with an alternative domain name.

We are a nationwide company with a nationwide user base. I can't orphan my Atlanta users because I can't buy Atlanta.tv.

You cannot orphan your Atlanta users or Atlanta profits!!!!

I wonder if netgenatlanta.tv is open?

Speaking of Atlanta, Buckhead.com just sold for $250,000. The .TV is regged.

I just sold JerseyCity.tv on sedo for $750.

One of my bigger sales so far, so it looks like a good time for the geo .tv market

We would like to partner with you guys to monetize these names. We have a nice video portal up and running, ready to replicate. We have 6 revenue streams built into the site/channels and it is written to move to the TV as the hardware comes on the market to do so.

If you guys have a good name and you want to work it, let's partner. We will 0 out the risk for you. We just want to make money and we understand the concept of 50% of something. We use dedicated servers at GoDaddy and the whole thing is extremely scalable.

If you worried about not being able to sell it (your domain name) if its tied up doing something, we will move the content you collect to another channel. You might find that you can make more using the domain than the few thousand that it will bring over time by reselling it to an end user? You might even just sell your whole channel? We will support your buyer.

Check out http://www.customtv.tv for an example.

Good luck with whatever you guys decide to do with your names. It sure looks like the users of these forums RULE the .tv world, at least with respect to names.

[boboski]

what you guys think of a geo with "channel" behind it i.e.
newyorkchannel.tv as an example (not my domain)
thanks

 

[localexperts]

it could work, but there is ALOT of competition and you won't get immediate SEO benefits of a direct hit like newyork.tv.

You would need to "rent" your advertisers since most local advertisers tend to be small business owners and unless you want to have large sales or customer service team it would be hard to get nationwide coverage.

Just wondering it there could be TM issues with this name as Fairfax is a huge media company.

Fairfax is a city

Nobody own it. In fact, if you go to uspto.gov some companies registered fairfax but no one pertaining to a city.

Well see, I have my lawyers ready to register our own Fairfax.TV trademarks as well.
