“People just really like the crime genre,” said Mark Pincus, the CEO of Zynga which publishes Mafia Wars, in a CNET article titled How the Mafia Conquered Social Networks. “I think that people like fantasies that are closer to reality.”

Gangsters.com Listed for Auction at eBay

September 11th, 2009 Comments off

Crime-based games, TV shows, and movies have a rich history that dates back to The Public Enemy and Little Caesar in the 1930’s, The Godfather trilogy in the ’70s,  Goodfellas and Pulp Fiction in the ’90s, and all the way up to more recent works including Grand Theft Auto, Mafia Wars, The Sopranos, American Gangster, and The Departed.

And now there’s a killer domain for sale that encapsulates it all: Gangsters.com.

The domain name was listed for auction on eBay earlier today and bidding will be open until September 21 at 10am PDT. In this short report, I’m going to discuss Gangsters.com and the value it could add to your business or domain portfolio.

Description

Gangsters.com could be used for a music label, a TV series, a book series, or even an eCommerce site for mafia and gangster related products. However, it seems the domain would reach its maximum potential as a hub for a popular massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) created similar to Mafia Wars or World of Warcraft.

Millions of people around the world currently play MMORPGs with worldwide revenues exceeding $1.5 billion.

Industry and Domain Details

  • Gangsters.com has been online since July 22, 1998.
  • Compete.com estimates 400 unique visitors each month over the past year.
  • The owner has parked the domain at Sedo and says it receives 30 visitors per day (an average of 900 visitors per month).
  • Google Adwords estimates approximately 110,000 search queries each month for “Gangsters”.
  • A Google search for “gangsters” returns 5,520,000 results.
  • An eBay search for “gangsters” delivers nearly 4500 related products.

Conclusion

Although Gangsters.com isn’t likely to earn loads of money as a parked page, it has nearly unlimited potential for development. Crime-related movies, books, and games are everywhere these days - and there aren’t many one-word generic .com names around that have as much potential as Gangsters.com.
