its not news its just me on this bandwagon again BUT i am doing a mountain of research and this concept is taking hold across the world.
chris asked for suggestions and i think this should be a new section to keep it all neat.
i've always said i'm in the internet "real estate" industry which may be for whatever i am offering but its all realestate.
so the question is WHYYYY do we sell domains ? lets look at the big guns of the workd, does trump sell? no, does westfield sell? no, does mcdonalds sell? no , they lease...
the owner of a mcdonalds store DOES NOT own the land beneath them, mcdonalds does.
forget google rankings, forget PPC, there are mountains of businesses out there still using traditional media and they need a memorable name eg: bondivet
as google heads down the path of PPC/place/+/ and whatever else is going to happen i think they have screwed up, ma pa in alstonville nsw don't give a shit, the local baker that owns alstonvillebakery.com.au and gets a mailing list and makes offers is going to completely go past google.
now if you own this domain then do you sell it? or do you lease it? as its like a shop front.
this is a really simple example of what i am talking about but you get my drift, i think ther is truly an energing market of leasing site in oz.
PLEASE let me know if anyone is doing it sussefully as i am actually having trouble finding anyone.
