By itself, it is marketing, "something is on the rise", unless it's defined. You said inquiries up but sales "The last four years, my gTLD sales have remained the same" Last 4 years the same, steady, not on the rise.
Let me drill down 2 points, so it's easier. First, go back to Daily Sales, last one:
gTLDs - 262
ccTLDs - 48
New gTLDs - 1 ----------- For something on the rise, this should be more active. There shouldn't be 0, 1, low single digit days. This should be rolling. Look at it.
-------------------
Keywords, people keep mentioning "hot keywords"
I picked 2 hot keywords simply because they were hot, meaning there should be activity. Cannabis and Crypto. Again last 200 reported sales, 1 sale. Where is the activity? So I picked a general keyword shoes, I said go ahead and pick whatever you want. Shoes 3 out of the last 100. Where is the activity? Which leads to Henry's post:
I understand the point you're trying to make, most of these new gtlds are niche extensions, only certain keywords are going to make sense. However, .com is 1 general extension, any keyword can work with it. New gtlds also have some general extensions. .xyx, .online, .website, .site, .gdn, etc. some are iffy but all kinds of general extensions. Still where is that action? The keywords I used, or any one you pick can work with a general new gtld extension. Take shoes, that works with many niche extensions as well, many of them.
And when I pick a keyword, it's not just that keyword, it's that keyword somewhere in the domain. Not just shoes.xzy, you can use the same keywords you find with .com. buyshoes.xyz, basketballshoes.xyz etc.
Where is the action? It's not showing up.
