Owning the "right" domain name targeted to your city, state, country or area will bring consumers to your site by "direct navigation" or typing-in the domain into their browser will bring them to your site. Many business that are trying to attract customers to their "Geo" related site are realtors, real estate companies, relocation companies, mortgage companies, builders, banks, hotels and travel related companies.

Total demand for domain names continues to grow. According to VeriSign (NASDAQ:VRSN), domain name registrations now number more than 105 million, having grown 27% year over year. Of those, approximately 25% expire and become available to new buyers each year, making up the core of SnapNames' market.

Concurrent with the increase in total registrations, demand and prices continue to rise in the domain name aftermarket. Being integral to the navigation system of the Internet, domain names that are constructed from intuitive words or typical search phrases are highly prized by advertisers and investors alike. These include:

Domains made up of search-friendly keywords and those used by the growing number of “direct navigation” customers who type domain names directly into their browsers to search for relevant content. For example, vegasrealestate.com sold for more than $53,000 through SnapNames.
Domains with brand value - short, brand-able, memorable, easy-to-type phrases. The domain a1.com sold for $260,250 at a SnapNames auction.
Expired domains with existing traffic and/or name recognition. A recent example, unclesam.com sold in a SnapNames auction for $185,000.

Domain buyers collect portfolios of such intuitive names to display relevant advertising directly on web pages, collecting revenue from advertising syndicates such as Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) and Yahoo (NASDAQ:YHOO) as end-users ''click through'' as they refine their searches.

Purchase prices and overall demand are directly linked to the rise in corporate spending on online advertising and search engine marketing. The online advertising market is expected to top $5.2 billion this year; according to ThinkEquity Partners, in its September, 2006 Advertising Industry Report. Direct navigation search is a $600M advertising business growing at a 35% annual rate, and is expected to generate $1 billion in advertising revenue to domain name owners in 2007. Corporate marketers are just beginning to realize the advertising potential of descriptive domain names, and the implications to traffic generation and potential savings on keyword buys. These new buyers are expected to fuel the next wave of growth, further enhancing returns for those active in the market today.
