Domain investors were given ample time to define a strategy<\/strong> involving gTLD domain names.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For the past year and a half, the details of this monumental change in the Internet name space became increasingly available; while the road that led to the creation of a “white paper” on gTLDs has been rocky, the end result is simple: gTLDs are here, and they are here to stay.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Given that conclusion, any investing approach that excludes gTLDs from one’s portfolio can severely undermine future opportunities; eventually, it can prove to be catastrophic, as more end users align their options with meaningful “keyword + gTLD<\/strong><\/a>” brands, instead of opting for long tail .com domains at exuberant prices.<\/p>\n

A strategic approach to domain investing should introduce variety in a gTLD portfolio that spreads the risk and increases potential ROI, by getting in the market early on.
