Big-money domain names are making the news.<\/p>\n

In the article ‘Honey, how would you feel if I was having an affair?’: Making a pitch for a $250,000 domain name<\/a> ABC.com.au talks to people who have spent or been offered large sums for a web address.<\/p>\n

kanyeforpresident.com<\/h2>\n

The owner of kanyeforpresident.com was offered $80k for the name, while someone else convinced his wife they should spend $250k on a domain.<\/p>\n

.com domains<\/a> have a flat pricing structure, making them ideal for people hoping to buy low and sell high. But newer gTLDs<\/a> take a name’s potential value into account with premium domains.<\/p>\n

The benefits of search<\/h2>\n

It’s no secret that while Google doesn’t give new gTLDs any kind of preference in search, the right combination of keywords will see you placed higher organically, and receive a boost from more clicks. A recent study<\/a> has shown once again that keyword-rich domains that match a search query are more likely to get clicked in search results.<\/p>\n

If you’re going to Sydney for the first time, and want to find a pub to visit, you might just type into Google “pub Sydney.” It would make sense that if you want a name for your own Sydney pub you’d see the value in domains like pub.sydney<\/a> or sydney.pub<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Or you might want to snap up the name to join a growing group of domain investors.<\/p>\n

Domain registry .CLUB<\/a> even have a startup program, to allow people to get a high-value name \u2013 like Coffee Club did, snapping up coffee.club for $100,000 \u2013 on a payment plan.<\/p>\n
