This time what happens in Vegas may have implications worldwide as three sought-after web addresses Strip.club, Night.club, and Bottle.club go up for auction for the first time ever at the upcoming NamesCon/RightOfTheDot/NameJet Live and Online Auction to be held in Las Vegas on January 11, 2016.
The same auction last year saw Wine.club sell for a record-breaking $140,000 and industry experts expect this year’s auction featuring these “super premium” adult industry web addresses to attract even greater attention.
The strip club industry is estimated to be a $7.5 billion market in the United States alone with more than 3,000 strip club establishments across the country. A search for the term “Strip Club” on Google returns more than 50 million results, has over 280,000 avg. monthly queries in the U.S and more than 550,000 queries globally. The Bar & Night Club Industry is a $24 billion market in the U.S. alone, and the term “night club” has more than 600,000 average monthly queries in the U.S. with over 1.2 million queries globally.
Web addresses with keywords to the left of the dot using the .club extension have already proven to lead organic search results, with examples including businesses such as Coffee.club, Soap.club and Betting.club ranking on page one of Google search results within a very short time after launching. These adult industry keyword names being auctioned all hold similar, if not greater, branding value in their respective categories.
“Adult-oriented online destinations are some of the highest traffic sites on the Internet, and we expect to generate a lot of interest and activity in this auction with these great .club opportunities,” said Colin Campbell, president and CEO of .CLUB Domains. “The word `club’ is recognized and used throughout the world, no matter the language or the alphabet, so it’s a perfect web address for any business that wants to own an entire category online such as the strip club and night club markets.”
The auction, slated for January 11, 2016 at the Tropicana Hotel in Las Vegas, is part of The RightOfTheDot™ Premium Live and Online Auctions taking place at the NamesCon Conference. Pre-bidding is now open at NameJet.com. The .club domain names set for auction include:
Strip.club
Night.club
Bottle.club
