I was reading an earlier post about the power of generic domain names. It is clear that generic domain names open up marketing opportunities, cornering a niche market. They can be key to dominating markets.
I own several generic business and investment domains in eastern European languages. My names include direct translations of investment.com, food.com, credit.com, diamonds.com and so on in several languages. Nearly all of my names are in the .com form. These names have obvious marketability and financial potential, plus they all attain google results in the millions. Yet so far I have not had great success in selling them. Why are no Hungarian jewelers yet interested in diamonds.com in their language? Does anybody have ideas on the reasons for this slowness.
1) Is it related to there being a short supply of sales routes (no major domain seller has a specific place for non-english domains)?
2) Is is related to the eastern European markets being slow to pick up on the financial advantages of the domain market? If so, is there an indication they will speed-up soon?
3) Is it perhaps related to me simply not knowing the sales routes for these domains? If so, please could someone advise me on potential routes?
Appreciated,
