Iran.com no website, what an opportunity right now

[George Verdugo]

i checked iran.com and i didnt see a website , iran is going nuts right now and the owner of it should be capitalizing the moment.

 

[Gerry]

Good call, Jorge. Geo's are ripe for development. The primary keyword is already there.

 

[ksinclair]

www.iran.com is a site - ppc

 

[copper]

yup.
there is parked page.

 

[Gerry]

well, if some people want to refer to a parked page as a web site...

What an opportunity.

Perhaps, just perhaps, the owner is getting good PPC.

Man, I love geo's!

BTW, Tehran.com looks pretty nice.

 

[tristanperry]

I wouldn't class a PPC page as a website.

But yeah, not sure what the owner is doing - there's such a huge opportunity with it. Sure, his PPC has probably doubled or more, but that's nothing on what it could get developed.

Tehran dotcom is owned by the WorldNews dotcom network.. We sold them a good generic news name for a good amount awhile back.. WN owns a lot of premium generic news domains. I am positive that they would pay top dollar for Iran dotcom, and would gladly pay a 10+ year PPC Multiple for it.

Agreed.

Just a parking page and a search bar.

 

[Gerry]

Iran.com -parked
Iran.net - parked
Iran.org - site
Iran.info - pathetic site / no content
Iran.us - parked
Iran.co.uk -parked

Ahh, the life of domainers.

 

[austinandrew]

I think this is Rick Latona's name. Unless he sold it.

 

[Rockefeller]

yea i believe it was in an auction recently for like 500k

 

[Acquisition]

ahh, okay Rock.. I know that the owner of Iraq dotcom has been trying to sell in the domainer meeting auctions as well.

 

[Gerry]

A 500K name that could potentially create a ton of revenue from a well designed site.

IF this name were to be for sale on the market RIGHT NOW,

Do you think having a site would:

a.) With site would sell for more than just a name.
b.) A site would not affect the sale price.

A year or so ago I picked up the domain Iran.com. The name gets 2000-5000 unique visitors a day. Revenue can be as low as 50 dollars but often spikes above 250 dollars a day, depending on how much the country is in the news. It’s in the news a lot.
