I'd guess-and just a guess-everyone of the "Geo" names has a value. Do you have any numerics .xyz? If so PM me please. These are great names. Good luck with them

#This #Insane Post #Reveals the #Secret of Google rebranding strategy with the christening of "Alphabet"

RELEVANCE: The relevancy of Abc.xyz to the term "ALPHABET" definitely played a major role. But IMO it is a one-off thing as far as the extension is concerned. For this particular case "Relevancy" was the most significant deciding factor. It doesn't means just about ANY.XYZ will become valuable. There is no generic model. It's always case by case or Name by Name!!!

PUBLICITY STUNT: Google purposely started this whole abc.xyz fracas. Loads of people got into the conversation just to talk about abcxyz..... I personally don't prefer non-niche nTLD, I would rather build on a .co or .net over .xyz. But one word (i.e. Keyword.Keyword) NICHE extensions do have a future. nTLDs are here to stay!!!! Again it doesn't means nTLDs will wallop past .COM!!!!

nTLD EXPOSURE: The key point here is Google promoting nTLD. There is no denial this will have a significant impact on consumers mindspace, which is their main purpose. It's just the beginning, more will follow soon, specially Entrepreneurs!!!


THE VERDICT:

The coming of nTLD adoption by Entrepreneurs!!!

.COM is and will stay the KING!!! Specially one word .COM will keep on Climbing in value!!!

2 keywords .com will have to tough it out with their Keyword.Keyword counterpart!!! This is where the main fracas currently lies between the two variety of Domainers : Brandologists Vs Spot Speculators. Speculators will continue to speculate but Young Startups will go for a more Unique and Quirky Design approach for Branding!!!

~ "There are two kinds of Domainers Club, those who do the work and those who take the credit. Try to be in the first group; there is less competition there"

2words+nTLD "MAY" have some value but will have to be an UberPhrase (eg. BookMy.Show, MakeMy.Trip, InvestIn.Gold), else .COM will stay the prized one within the one word and three words category!

.XYZ holders, it's the perfect time to cash out!!!

~ "...XYZ couldn't get more lucky on this one lol"

I'm surprised it even went for that much, even with the media build-up on it. It's really not that great of a name. I did find it funny that a potential end user is using an ngtld (.coffee).

Anyways, I'm probably one of the few who actually like .xyz. It doesn't mean anything, not specific to a niche, but it has an appeal to it. Of course I'd never actively invest in them. The only one I have/had is currently pending delete lol. There's better extensions to spend your money on.

 

[mad409]

Agree not that good but he was also selling his initials, LLL.com on namejet and last night it was around 60K.

If anyone has pending LLL, or NNN .xyz's they don't want PM me, lets talk.

 

[ProDomains]

As mentioned nearly all the good .xyz domains are already taken. I gave up trying to secure a solid .xyz. I did manage to pick up xyz . one

How are they nice for bodis? I don't think they have a lot of type-ins

How?
Check the google and you will see
Bodensee (Constance Lake) - most popular tourist location in Germany
Greece islands - One of most popular summer destination in Europe
And you ask me - how?

I do not expect a $M but i will for sure make more then $1 on Bodis in next year. With that and with a possibility of sale Im more than pleased.
Few $ here, few $ there...

Tell me how you will get visitors to your bodis pages? You will not rank in Google for a parking page and people don't type-in .xyz, my prediction is you will not make 1$ per year for each of them. Probably more like 0.05$ each if you're lucky.

Baited!!!!

[Domains - Wanted]

.XYZ is one of the few new extensions worth investing in. Many reasons, but let me point to only one of them: the .XYZ registry is the only one with a coherent promotion strategy, not the least of which is their attractive pricing. This is long term, of course, that is with no expectation of substantial profit for years to come. It's no threat to .COM, to be sure. This said, Google has shown the way and others will follow: .XYZ is a viable alternative to a .COM address. I'm betting (see disclaimer below) this will catch on, albeit slowly.

Disclaimer: my portfolio includes 500+ .XYZ's and counting. Most of my domains are acquired with a specific project in mind and not a quick flip and sale. This said, I'm happy to sell if a good opportunity (read: motivated buyer) presents itself

Dear ..actually why xyz is trending in dm ?

And I'll add again it's truly generic, works with any keyword etc... I've spent the last couple hours looking at .dog, .run and others and just can't pull the trigger on some of this new stuff.

Would like to see your portfolio if you care to share, PM me. 500+ is a lot!

I think .web and .one could give xyz some issues but probably not due to the fact that .web and .one will be so overpriced the wind will be taken out quickly.

They did it right and didn't over price with xyz...

Everyone that is pro .xyz has a shiny new "Joined 2015" under their avatar. Now I'm not knocking opinions of new members, but to shrug off the opinions of people that have seen the trends and new extensions come and go is very foolish.

As an exercise, everyone should do a deep google search for namepros threads that have to do with all previously launched 'new extensions'.

What it comes down to is this: the internet hasn't changed, ICANN just wanted more money.

I think the reasons behind the whole massive gTLD expansions were one (or both) of these motives:

#1) Mobile and direction navigation was leaving ICANN unsure of the future of domains in 10+ years, so they are getting as much money as they can now. Trickling out gTLDS over an extended timeframe was less attractive to them, for whatever reason. Remember, they are a business and not a charity. Money is always the motive.

#2) I'm sure that many of the powers that be that control the domain infrastructure also own significant holdings in .COM. If they dumped a litany of failed extensions it would only make .COM more valuable. Again, money is always the motive.

... either way it was a win win for them to launch the gTLD program.

There is so much room for new trends and growth within .COM that it makes almost zero sense to invest in a gTLD that isn't a true domain hack. (and no abc.xyz is not a domain hack at all).

Think about domaining in general... small business and the general public has no clue that they can pick up some fantastic domains that fit their needs at the point we all purchase them. We all benefit off of what is known as a 'market inefficiency'.

I sometimes equate domaining to digital recycling. Look how long it took humans to come to the understanding that things we use every day needed to be recycled. In a world where people still have no clue how to build websites, it's going to still take some time before the general public truly understands domains.

Once the general public knows about domaining, and knows how to scoop up names like the best of us, that's when there may be an excuse for the existence of gTLD's... and that's still a good 5-7 years away from right now.

Also, .COM still has a lot of room for growth in value/pricing in some very specific formats - one you will likely see very soon that you wish you were buying right now (pay attention).

So with all of that said, just saying that 'gTLD is the future' without knowing past histories and market behavior is borderline irresponsible and definitely just hype-induced wishful thinking.

Most good gTLD's were sold at a premium during landrush, I didn't want them then... and I don't want them now. That's my stance, and I'm comfortable with that.

Would like to see your portfolio if you care to share, PM me. 500+ is a lot!

I went a little... mad last year and need to weed some garbage out. I knew going in this was a long term investment and frankly have paid scant attention to them until recent news about Google's abc.xyz. This prompted me to follow up on my original plans of getting them all online. Will PM after I get some housekeeping done.

.One has been available since April for about $7 per name.
