crap. The horse is outta the barn -- forget getting .infos cheap anymore!

Wait a second here... according to MY notes, this domain was in a domainfest auction with a 90k reserve and did not sell. How did it sell $26,000 more than the RESERVE, assuming the reserve was the asking price??

You and Rockefeller have focused your sale/marketing//promotional talents on .INFO... so I blame you both! Seriously though, you two have changed the game in a good way.

Although 'a single swallow does not a summer make' I think this is well and truely spring-time for .info's. :yes:

Apart from the normal strong keywords there is also 'logical' domains for .info, and 'Travel' works extremely well with the .info suffix.

Good sale, Good buy.

Great sale!!!

Great sale for a generic term that matches the TLD. This does not mean every .info domain's value increased overnight.

 

[JuniperPark]

This does not mean every .info domain's value increased overnight.

History says: It SURE DOES!

.com prices went up when the first $100k sales was announced, and more recently the .mobi went bonkers when a $200k sale was announced.

God, don't get me started on the hype behind the flowers.mobi sale (it points to a .com). And comparing .com to .info does not hold any water at all.

God, don't get me started on the hype behind the flowers.mobi sale (it points to a .com). And comparing .com to .info does not hold any water at all.

I agree that it was hype, but my point is (hype or not) it was SUCCESSFUL in raising the dollar value of the .mobi.

 

[Theo]

Travel.info - great name. It's very few .info's that'd sell for 6 or even 5 figures. And no, the LLL .info value won't rise overnight because Travel.info sold for a good chunk of (inflated) dollars.

I guess a key factor in it's impact will be whether it was bought by another speculator or an end-user. The latter would do no harm to the .info world. The former, while it still proves people will pay that sort of money for a .info, doesn't have the same impact.

Also we should bear in mind that the travel market is among the four most popular "affiliate" markets online and short high OVT keyword domains, for now, in those sectors will be sought after.

I still think too many people over-inflate the potential of .info or simply don't understand SEO - do a Google search on ANY half-decent keyword or phrase and you'll have to go a long long way to find any .info domains in the top 10 unless you go down to really small niche phrases.

But hey, the search engine landscape is changing all the time so who knows - that's what speculation is all about eh
