2BR Apartment In SoHo for $100k? What a Ripoff!
June 21st, 2007 Domaining

I find these sorts of posts to be mind-boggling. I think we’re in an odd time where premium domain names have shot up in value so much in such a short period of time, that even some domainers are saying “Can they possibly go any higher?”

Scotland.com $1,000,000 - Nope, Wow, nice name. But I have a gut feeling, crickets will chirp. I think it is worth it but this is the wrong place to auction it off.
Seniors.com $1,000,000 - Nope, Do old people use computers? I think this one is too high.
ComicBooks.com $500,000 - Nope, Where is Marvel? Someone should broker this sale.

Premium, 1st-tier vertical domains are like Manhattan real estate.
They aren’t going to lose value year-over-year.
God ain’t making Manhattan any bigger and He sure ain’t making a second Scotland.com.
In 2009 these prices will seem laughably cheap, just like NYC real estate prices in the ’80s now seem.
Considering domainers as of yet haven’t grokked the synergy between SEO and keyword.com, it’s not surprising that much of the perceived value remains hidden
.
Now who wants to give me 12M in funding to start a hedge fund?

> Is the SEO benefit that great, compared to buying a brandable and doing $999,994 on SEO/promotion?
If you have a $3M total budget
— hells yes, I would rather have Scotland.com + 2M to spend
— then[[than]] ScotlandWebGuide.com + 3M to spend.
It’s not just the typein.

It’s not just the “direct” keyword synergy.
Also
the links you get for seeming more legitimate,
the branding benefits,
the increased likelihood of offline citations.
If you have little startup capital, the costs of domains seem ridiculous.
If you’re well-financed and going for a major play,
they seem pretty cheap.
