The Official GeoDomain Discussion Thread

[GF]

Alright, I know what you're thinking, "Not another so-called 'official' thread!!" but I felt that it was important to begin this discussion.

More and more domainers that I speak with are focusing on GeoDomains due to the falling revenues from PPC advertisers. Additionally, GeoDomains are the ultimate attraction to an end-user. There are so many ways to earn revenue from a GeoDomain: affiliate programs, PPC, selling ad space to local business, and so on.

My favorite GeoDomains are those that are city or country-specific. Examples of these would be: WestPalmBeach.com, Germany.com, Baja.com, Iran.com, PalmSprings.com, etc.

AssociatedCities has done a great job of creating a network of city-specific GeoDomains, and Boulevards.com has also created such a network. In the coming weeks I'll make public my network of GeoDomains that I hope to start up soon.

Do you have any GeoDomain development projects in the works? This is the place to show them off!

I definitely agree with you. Is anyone here developing any of their Geo.tv sites?

Let's show off some of those projects!

 

[GF]

Does anyone have any Geo projects that they want to show off?

No parked pages - just development projects.

For those who have developed their GEO domains, How is your direct end user advertising revenue ?

I haven't begun seeking ads yet - I plan on just doing affiliate links + adsense for now.

Anyone else?

I'm just about ready to start promoting a new site: http://www.pompanobeach-fl.com

Nice looking site

I see you are using Joomla.
You know you can use free directory for your "restaurants" link - SOBI2

Another thing, there is free plugin for your SEF purpose - sh404SEF
Currently, your url look like...
http://www.pompanobeach-fl.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=5&Itemid=2

With free SEF plugin...
http://www.pompanobeach-fl.com/index.php/restaurants/

I have plan to start 51 sites, one for each state plus DC.

Simple, creative, and clean. I like it!

 

[henniemeijer]

what company is good for parking geo domains (till you develop them)
I have a lot of cityname/countryname-blog.com/net domains.
Any site with a good feed(whypark?) with local news or better at a static parking company with hotel/flightads.
