Domain names have emerged as real estate. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco
determined domain names to be Real Property in addition to Intellectual Property.
Domain names are now listed on a corporation's balance sheet as an accruing asset.
Investors are now buying geodomains as alternative investments.
Domain names are a high growth investment. With the continuing expansion of internet commerce,
internet users and broadband connections, the valuation of domain names are always increasing.
Sedo, a secondary domain marketplace, yielded $77 million in domain sales in 2008, an
eight percent increase over the 2007 total of $72 million.

Geo Targeted Domains
Geo targeted domains are domain names that combine a geographical location or region with a generic keyword.
The keyword can be any activity, industry, product, profession or service.
city+keyword.com
state+keyword.com
country+keyword.com
Buy generic domains that redirect to your website to get more traffic without spending money on search advertising.
The surging interest in geo-targeted domains is an "unbroken explosion", according to Ron Jackson,
editor and publisher of DNJournal, a trade publication that reports on the domain industry and tracks
sales figures. "Time and time again, business owners who have bought these domains tell me they are
getting fantastic results," Jackson says.
Benefits of owning geo-targeted domains:
Instant brand recognition:
The names of local areas are well-known brands, as are the generic terms for product and
services, such as city+personals.com or city+employment.com
Category leadership:
Owning a highly relevant geo-targeted domain name enables a business to position itself
as the market leader in its category and locality and gain instant credibility. Owning more
than one geo-targeted domain can limit the competition’s ability to grab a slice of the
local search pie.
Owning versus renting:
Instead of bidding for keywords on Google, Yahoo and other search engines, a business
owns the relevant keywords as long as it maintains the geotargeted domain's registration.
This reduces or eliminates the need to pay fees to search engines, preserving marketing
dollars.
Capturing the attention of online consumers:
The best way to attract online consumers is to establish a highly-targeted presence right
where they search. As more people gravitate to the Internet for information and shopping,
the opportunities to reach more prospects increase.
More qualified leads:
A consumer who uses direct navigation or types relevant keywords into a search engine to
find a specific product already is interested in buying.
Measurable ROI:
Unlike advertising with traditional media, search engine marketing enables business owners
to track the returns on their online marketing efforts. Web analytic programs let owners track
web traffic and customer conversion rates.
Affordability:
Since the knowledge of geo-targeted domains on Main Street is lagging behind online consumer
behavior, many domains are still available at reasonable prices.
Our investment focus is primarily UAE along with China, India and USA. The domain extension of
choice is the .com Generic Top Level Domain (gTLD). It carries with it worldwide recognition. It is the
most desired and valuable of the all TLD's, it is the gold standard.
We have little interest in Country Code Top Level Domains (ccTLD) like .ae, .cn, .de, .in, .uk, etc. and
no interest in trademarked, typo or domains containing the hyphen character.
