The power of a generic domain name
So-called generic domain names differ from company and personal name domains. Instead of matching or closely resembling a person or company's formal name, generic domains are conceptual or common-noun terms that encompass a broad area of interest or enterprise. While a large company will always have its own domain name, the generic name can be used additionally to redirect traffic to the company's home page (or any targeted subpage). For a concrete example of the power of a generic domain name, try browsing to www.radio.com. This generic name is owned by CBS and takes web surfers to an engaging page showcasing CBS' radio stations; and notably it also serves to direct traffic away from the sites of its competitors' radio stations. In this way, CBS helps brand itself as the go-to place for radio, the first and perhaps only radio network the listener will visit. With ad revenue dependent on demonstrated listenership this generic name can add significantly to CBS's bottom line. The potential to direct new and large numbers of customers to a specific company's offerings is a principal value of the generic domain name. The company might be established and looking to direct additional traffic to itself, or it could be a start-up looking to quickly capture a new audience to introduce its products or services. As such, generic domain names are among the most valuable. See some past sales below.
