I have to say that I am very surprised that advertisers still don't get the value of domain names yet.
I have many generic product names that I would sell for the right price, and I have never been contacted by any big company. I get flyers in the mail from companies that spend millions on advertising on their products, but won't invest a few thousand in the generic product domain name, which they would then own in perpetuity for about $10 a year.
For example shouldn't Canadian Tire or Monroe want ShockAbsorbers.ca?
Don't some people enter "shock absorbers" into Google on the internet to research what's out there. If you enter anything in Google from Canada, .ca does get preference.
Isn't a favourable generic product domain name BY FAR the most cost effective advertising you could possibly have?
I'd be interested in hearing theories as to why the advertisers aren't getting this... Or am I wrong about the cost effectiveness?
What concerns me most is that I still see many premium generic product .coms not being sold to big companies.
