A steady stream of free leads makes corporate identifiers a compelling top level domain business.
A number of companies want to sell domain names ending in company type indicators such as .llc and .inc.
At first I wasn’t very warm to this idea. But there’s something unique about these corporate identifiers that may make them a good business for the registry: free lead lists.
If you’ve ever set up a corporate entity, at least in United States, you probably got a deluge of junk mail afterward. The most common pitch is for credit card services.
That’s because your information is usually made public when you form a U.S. entity. It’s an easy lead list for marketers.
I think a .llc registry could sell a lot of domains by sending a snail mail (gasp!) letter to companies that have just formed an LLC. Since many of these are small businesses, they could also pitch them on web hosting and other related services. A newly formed company spends lots of money on related services.
.Inc has 11 applicants, .llc has nine, and .ltd has seven. .GmbH, which is the equivalent of a .llc in Germany and other central European countries, has six applicants.
It looks like a good idea, until it becomes identified as a “monopoly’ position, in control of the source of all LLC & INC.
Behind a .COM everybody competes equally, in front of, or right of the dot, maybe akin to the centre of an hour-glass.
That’s the simple opinion of a Pro Se!
