Asking price? $25,000. So, far no takers, but it got me thinking about local domains. Have these started to take off in price too? You bet… check it out:


Local Domain Auction For New York Keyphases

If you click on the link above it will take you to the auction (new window). Then you can enter a town or city in the box next to ‘begins with’ to check out the prices of local domains near you. With newyorkrealtors.com going for a cool $10grand, who knows?, maybe you’ll get lucky.

Some other interesting domain names I found on the auctioneer’s block:

  • bergencountypsychologists.com – $1,850
  • westchesterflorist.com – $4,088
  • nyfurniture.com – $48,000

I went in and snagged a couple hotties, despite seeing no actual bids beside any of the above terms.

Other Local Notes


  • I corrected the local internet advertising matrix. Local.com gets their first 3 ads from the Yahoo content match… not Google, as I had written. I apologize for any inconvenience that may have caused.


  • Both of the local sites I wrote about last week have returned to their original position on Yahoo!. From #1 to gone… back to #1… strange, but I’m happy they’re back.
