Zip Code Domains - Numerical

[Mark]

What is everyone's Ideas about reg'n the actual Numerical Zip Code Domains ?

1) There aren't any/many Towns/Cities left in .com -

2) .US Reserved all #'s in zip and phone ranges -

3) How many times is YOUR Zip typed in a browser/box - ?

4) - Lets Build the Ultimate Local Search - ... lol ....


Thanks for Your Comments -

Well to tell you the truth, I dont think people would be comfortable with using actual ZIP Codes as their domain names. Out of the blue someone could do a reverse search and get information such as phone number, actual locations and etc. It might work, but I dont think many people would actually want to do something like that.

I would pass on zipcodes myself.

Some really popular ones may get some interest like Hollywood, Downtown Vegas, Key West, or resort towns, but I'd guess that may be about .1% of them or less. I'll bet those are already registered. Big cities have many zip codes, so it would be confusing.

ugh, I was thinking the same thing, and was going to see which TLD's were registered, but they're all registered

I own mine - But it's a small town (lots of tourist though)
I had #1 google result for a few months and yahoo for 28460 - Disappeared on google / #7 on Yahoo - Get a few clickthrus a week - No real advertsing or much Development on it "28460.com"

I'll Probably end up buying all in the county (12-13 Total) Just for the heck of it .... lol ...

don't think that will work but it's nice to see somebody thinking out of the box for a change new ideas are always good

Yea this is all kind of a hobby for me - (It actually relaxes me to stress out as long as it's over names/sites) - As long as I'm not in the hole -It's alright -

I like this idea...in fact, GoDaddy just grabbed the zipcode of my city today!

once a bunch of people start doing it, a lot more will start and they will be more popular, not much resale value though, just pleasure

 

[bookee]

You are right they are becoming more popular. I live in Destin and that one is already snagged and being developed www.32541.com

I have to disagree strongly on the point that they will not have much value. A lot of people said the same thing about .tv and .in but boy are a lot of people profiting from those odd extentions today.

Book :wave:

I actually registered a local city zip near my home in 2003 and it does quite well.
Someone now owns the dot net.
And since it's 5 numbers it wasnt such a bad idea. I say go for it. I set it up as a
local message board and invited other local site owners to link to as there own.

 

[JoshHendo]

well, lets all register the 10000 postal codes as .infos and make a local search (yea right)
