The assumption is that an economy that is in trouble will necessarily put more importance on the more local economies. A world economy crisis will “degenerate” into national economies and a national economy crisis will result in more individual reliance on the local economy. Eventually it will break down into geographically based economies that would range in locality from “everything west of the Rocky Mountains” to “only things in my immediate neighborhood” and encompassing everything in between.

I’ve been doing a little research lately concerning a whole bunch of things which end up being associated with each other and I thought I’d put down a few thoughts about what I’ve noticed.

There exists a company called “Pay Per Post” and what they are is a place where bloggers get connected with people who want to give them money for blogging about something specific. I looked the site over pretty thoroughly - I joined up - the prices paid range from $5 a post to $156 a post, at least there are some bloggers who don’t take on work for less, according to their profiles. I looked at many samples of their work and admittedly the $5 posts are pretty bad but the more expensive ones are really good.

We’ve been modifying the wp-shoppingcart plugin which can be found at “instinct.co.nz”. We are making it so that it can be used for our purposes which the standard version isn’t. We have a few purposes which we need a shopping cart for.

We have a lot of data concerning the registrations of geo-generic dot coms. We took the top 600 cities in the USA/Canada/Australia/UK/NZ and 300 generics which makes about 200,000 domains. We queried whois to get owners, registration dates, etc and put the results into a database which we can make queries on.

This yields some interesting results like which generics were registered first (as a group), which cities had a given number of geo-generics registered first or by a certain date and other interesting stuff. We have published some of our findings on other sites but we intend to put them on this site as well and will shortly.

We use wordpress and a whole bunch of wordpress plugins to develop our sites. Other people are using our setup and the plugins that we develop and people have asked us which plugins we are using in our efforts. So here is a partial list which we will add to as necessary.

We are working on making WordPress plugins that are aimed at being used by geo-generic domains/websites. The idea is to make a series of plugins that integrate with each other and are tested so that the websites that use them don’t have to waste time reinventing plugins and configurations.

To begin with we have made a sort of integrated ads plugin that can be added to WordPress. It is quite advanced and includes the ability to draw the ads from remote sites, from its own site or from a combination of sites. It can be seen working on this very site and the other “associated” sites that are part of the network.

Another plugin that we are working on is a modification of an existing shopping cart for wordpress with some added features. It will soon be seen working on this site and others.

We never park any of our domains - instead we build sites that are intended to establish a base search engine presence with proper URL architecture. We use wordpress to do it. We have a good deal of experience coding wordpress and if anyone has a feature they need for their geo-generic dot com wordpress site then by all means suggest it here.

Success Click Dot Com has an article about two companies that have done well with their websites - the company that interests us is the company that uses “BeavertonMotorcycles.com” as their domain even though that isn’t the name of the company. A classic geo-generic dot com domain and it makes for valuable reading.

 We at AssociatedGeoGenerics.com have the overall goal of getting geo-generic domains into the hands of end users who will develop the sites and with any luck join with each other to form an association that is able to negotiate for all geo-generics and that will distribute advertising revenue to the individual geo-generic sites that normally wouldn’t be able to approach the larger national and international companies. Getting actual end users to acquire these geo-generic domains is the first step towards that end.

Recently “FairfaxYellowPages.com” was sold for $10,000, evidently to an “end user”. We will do an investigation to examine this transaction as we may obtain some insight into the value of geo-generic dot coms and the motivations of the end users that buy them.

Our first domain that we will be auctioning is “PuebloHomeSales.com” and we are going to examine what the worth of this domain might be to an end user. This is not the same as what do we think it will sell for or anything at all to do with the auction selling price but simply to be able to detail to an end user what the domain name might be worth to them as a business asset.
