As the industry continues to mature, we are seeing major players such as GoDaddy.com, Name.com, BuyDomains.com, and now Sedo.com focus on geodomains. I imagine NetworkSolutions.com is not far behind in adapting the geodomain strategy. It is no secret that geodomains have continued to lead the pack in sales the past couple of weeks and a big part of 2009. These sales can be found on DNJournal.com’s archives. The biggest geodomain performers in 2009 have been ccTLDs. Sedo.com has remained the leader in this category from day one.   

As reported on many blogs, Sedo.com sold Russia.com last week for $1.5 million. The week prior, they sold Sudan.com for $120,000, and the week before then sold Software.co.uk for $249,000.  Yes, ccTLDs are geodomains too. 

So this week, Sedo.com has launched a page devoted to country .com geodomains. This is a smart move, however, they are missing so much opportunity to sell their clients valuable geodomains, by focusing only on .com geodomains. I am sure this is only the beginning for bigger things to come for geodomains listed on Sedo.com.

I still remain optimistic that Sedo.com will launch a geodomain platform that delivers results for its clients. The sales in 2009 already prove their is a demand for such a platform across the domain industry. What are your thoughts on geodomain platforms already launched and future ones to come?
