Speaking of Expanding domains

A few days ago the newspaper Expansión published a comprehensive report on the market for Internet domain names. Under the heading "Who is a domain is a treasure," Miriam Prieto reviews the market potential of.

To make this more comprehensive report on a page, the author contacted us Yago Arbeloa, Carlos Blanco, Ivan Díaz Calle (SEDO) and myself.

I gather that several views are and how things work. Yago says it has devalued the price of 3-letter domains that came to assert 6.000Eur and are quoted in half, Carlos believes that the market has fallen by 30-40%, and I said that is rarely seen in Spain sales of over EUR 15,000 (of course does not mean that they exist, but are less common than 1 year ago).

For me the issue of the domains is almost a matter of collecting, but begins to be a vital priority. Always insist in interviews that our ultimate goal is development, but if a good offer arrives, and we have no imminent development we sell. In this 2009, we have closed the tap of investment and this has been an early, but the first to close. In the past 6 months we have invested 88% less than the same period last year and I think I can say we had better opportunities to buy and domains that we have offered a 50-75% lower than that asked us a year ago. The situation is entirely logical, in a scenario of a need for liquidity, prices fall sharply as even domains by calling 1 years ago 100.000Eur today for half that price are not finding buyers, not non - worth, is that money under the mattress gives tranquility. A domain does not need to be a good, quite the contrary an investment in the future, and in times of need for liquidity is not normal that if you have developed for trying to start "placing" and reverse investment. At this time, and more than one will agree with what I say, it is quite difficult.
