NewYork.info is a fascinating example of how domaining works.

This is one of the best domains there can be with the .info extension and that makes it a perfect investment!

Lets see the sales history:

NewYork.info $70,000 Jul 07 PvtSale
NewYork.info $46,392 Sep 06 Moniker/DomainSystems
NewYork.info $28,086 Jan 04 Sedo

Every single time when this domain was resold it seemed like a huge amount of money and not a very good deal for the buyer, but short time after that it became clear that the domain is a winner.

Last time the domain was resold a month ago and it was the highest .info sale ever, beating it’s own record from a year earlier! When the seller listed the domain for sale in DNForum.com highest offers he received were in the $x,xxx range. No one believed that he would be able to resell the domain for a profit, but he did and that was a nice profit too - 50% in less than a year!
Right now if you go to NewYork.info … well it doesn’t really look like a 6 figures worth domain should so lets hope it will get developed into something useful.
What’s next? I can see this domain to be worth $150+ in a year easily!

What does that all mean? Just one thing: buy premium domain and you can’t go wrong. However high the current price might seem, it will go up..

Sex.info sold for a Whooping $202K on Sedo - new .info record!

.. And I can still remember the times when I used to register 300-600 .info’s at a time on RegisterFly (R.I.P.) for $.60 each to build adsense scrapers, just because it was so cheap

This is all very good news for .info’s, together with $116K sales of Travel.info in July this year on Sedo and $70K sale of NewYork.info I can see a new trend coming out soon and info’s wont be any more considered crappy cheap domains - although that will take some more time.

.info domains are mostly great for GEO sites, like cities and countries .info so I believe it’s a good idea to go search for some available cities to register with that - I already did I picked up a few hundred .info cities a month ago, will get more soon as well.
ONe thing though, have you seen any .info domain with dashes sold for anything decent lately..? Neither did I, so the hypenated domains are still only good for scaper sites!
