Fred
Mercaldo, a long-time
leader in the geodomain space as the
owner of Scottsdale.com
and Founder & CEO of GeoCentric
Media Inc., has just launched a
new project. Mercaldo, who was
profiled in a March 2013 DNJournal
Cover Story, decided the
time is right for a brokerage
service devoted solely to
geodomains and he made the idea a
reality with the launch of Cities.cc
Monday (January 14, 2019). The
site's Home Page notes, "Cities.cc
is an online marketplace
dedicated to the marketing of pure
brand, exact match keywords of Geo
specific domains. We deal exclusively
with City(dot)com brands, as
well as regions, areas, and
counties." In a an introductory
letter that Mercaldo
posted on the new site he noted,
"we already have over 400 names
available, with prices ranging from
a low of $2,500 to a high of $4,000,000."
Mercaldo
wrote, "We felt that it was
necessary for a domain brokerage
that specifically deals with the geo
space to be created for numerous
reasons. First, it is a very
specialized market. While the
top domain brokers around the world
are a very creative and diligent
group, they have not been as keen on
representing the sale of City names.

names,
in particular small to medium size
cities, have a smaller potential
buyer pool. We felt it necessary to fill
a void in the domain marketplace
by specializing ONLY in the geo
market. It is what we know best, and
we have much to offer."
While
Cities.cc will obviously have a
sales focus Mercaldo also intends to
make it a resource for those
interested in developing geodomains,
noting, "we will be publishing numerous
articles each month on the
development and monetization
strategies that are required in
order to manage a successful and
profitable City portal. As digital
marketing and the internet itself
appears to reinvent themselves
seemingly every month, there are
specific functions and services that
are timeless and required for a City
site to be relevant. There are also
“best in class” partnerships,
marketing strategies, and other
methods from which to generate
revenue. We will discuss all of
them."

you have any questions about
Cities.cc and their services you can
