It seems to me that some type of partnership arrangement is extremely important for development. Not onl is it rare to find a good geo domain that is available for purchase but even more rare to find one for the area that you live or are familiar with.

I was able to purchase a few pure, small to mid size town geos. However, I have never lived in these areas and I am unfamiliar with them. I am trying to justify the cost of developing and maintaining websites for these towns that I have no contacts in and may or may not be big enough to support my efforts. Hopefully, this article will shed some light.

A very good piece. And there are still very solid opportunities on geodomains out there. You don’t have to buy a major city.com to build a very nice business off a geodomain.

You do have to want to develop,as opposed to generic domains, but the rewards are greater as a long-term play.

I honestly do not know. I beleive it was a writer on Domainers Magazine staff. The article doesn’t credit anyone specific.

I think people often forget about the “county” names. Many people relate more to there county of residence than a town.

Every domainer should have a Geo in their portfolio. Not only should they own it they should also develop it. Everyone think worldwide, when there are a lot of low hanging fruits on the trees in their backyard.

All forward thinking news outlets are getting back to local because local is the only way they can stay afloat. The returns are greater than trying to attract national ads that offer lower CPC, CPA and CPM. Original local content is money.

People think all the good Geos are gone. I encourage them to drill down and find smaller division in town and really get local. A city is always divided into north, south, east and west or nicknames for a division pick-up.
