Killer .Au Sites & Domains Hit The Market: Sydney.com.au, Melbourne.com.au, Auction.com.au

March 5, 2013 by Michael Berkens

According to a press release we jusrt received some killer .com.au sites and domain name have just hit the market.

“The websites sydney.com.au, melbourne.com.au, brisbane.com.au, adelaide.com.au and the domain name auction.com.au are for sale on the website namesell.com.”

 “The sale is being brokered by Brisbane-based company Domain Guardians.”

 “Mike Robertson from Domain Guardians said the sale presents an opportunity for a major player to own the commercial domain names mirroring four of Australia’s five largest capital cities.”

 “These domains/websites could provide a local entity or leading international corporation with a unique opportunity to become the dominant online player in Australia.

 “There is no other situation in the world where a company or individual owns 85% of the country’s capital city domains. In the US, most leading corporations are lucky to own one two capital city domain names.

 “Sydney.com.au is the No.1 ranked website in the Google.com.au search results when you search on the word ‘sydney’.

 “When you consider the Sydney economy in 2011 was worth $342 billion, what price then do you put on the commercial value and importance of sydney.com.au when the website comes up first in the Google search results?”

 “Mr Robertson said sydney.com.au and melbourne.com.au are lightly developed as tourism websites and already generate attractive revenue streams.”

“All traffic coming to the site is organic and free – grown from strategically placed backlinks dating back to the ’90s. The owners have never spent a cent driving traffic to sydney.com.au or any of the other city domain websites. “

“The domain name Auction.com.au is also for sale, either as part of a bundle with the city websites or as a separate sale.?

    I would not be surprised to know that after the auction we might find out .au will get opened in some time erasing current .com.au valuations.

    that’s why send-level cctlds are most low-risk unlike shaky .com.au, co.uk, com.br etc
    agreed?

    SYDNEY.au is a lot more valuable than SYDNEY.com.au

    That’s why they want to sell all .com.au before value plummet……..
