.info growth

[gpmgroup]

All Afilias has done with .info is recognise the market.

In any extension there are probably at most 100 very valuable names

There are then around 1000 tier 1 names
Around 10,000 very nice names
Around 100,000 names which may deliver $100 without putting the effort into developing (what names are really for obvious but worth mentioning)
Around 1,000,000 names worth a $10 reg. fee

Now what do you do with the rest of the potential names?
Leave the reg. fee at $10 and get a steady drip of registrants? or?

Drop the fee to $1 offer a free for first year (Like with a property lease?)
The problem with totally free some companies took advantage using a numbers game.
A $1 fee solves this.

All extensions will be priced this way once market forces kick in.

How many of the 33,000,000 or so .com registrations are worth a $10 reg. fee undeveloped?

I hear leatherhandbags.com went for $24,000. Yucks.

Who would have thought?

People tend to equate domain value with (1)short, (2)generic and (3)universal. However, a business can either chose to be a small fry in the ocean, or a big fish in the pond.

A single B2B deal can be worth hundreds of millions, and a targeted click can be worth thousands. Quality vs. quantity. The 80:20 rule. Food for thought.
