Will the new TLDs affect the current domain value?

[z80039]

As you know, new TLDs will be available soon like .shop, .music, .hotel and so on.
With all this coming, don`t you think that the value of the domains containing these TLDs will drop ?

the real question is will the value of the .com drop?

except from the premium names of the coming TLD, the usual suspects [.com] will still be king in almost every niche

yes

I don't think so.
In my opinion premium words will be registered in all the new TLDs and sold for 10% of the value of .coms.
As for all the other names I think .com will be steady and possibly increase the value because the huge amount of new tlds will " mess up " with people's mind and they will seek shelter in the .coms. This is because 99% of people who use internet are not domainers or internet experts

There'll be a rush on some of the new TLDs, but most will flop. After the excitement dies down, the future of the new TLDs lies in the big business (and startups) that choose to use them.

For example, if we start seeing TV ads telling us to visit Microsoft.shop and Apple.shop and Walmart.shop then we have a winner.

Or in other words, if there's little hope of a prominent example being used, don't worry about a TLD.

.Web is the most likely TLD to do well and be a permanent fixture. Everyone calls the internet the 'web', it's more inherent that any site should be a .web, .website is just too long.

Have you seen some of these awful extensions, .party .red .ski. This is just a money making scheme for the internet overlords.

As far as devaluing the current C,N,O,B,I main TLD's I can only see the new TLD's making them stronger because of one value that just can't be modified, bought, or back-linked; DOMAIN AGE.

.COM is king and always will be.

I have seen a huge increase in .info domains in demand lately and people aren't picking up org's or net's just because they aren't sure of the market. Which I think is a bit absurd, because there are plenty of them out there with a 9 year + domain age.

Unless google decides to not use domain age as a metric for page placement, aged exact match .ORG and .NET domains should still maintain a place in your portfolio.

Yes, content is always extremely important; but if you measure two domains against each other with the same metrics the one that has the greater domain age will always rank above the other.

99% of new tlds may repeat the fate aero, name, travel, ws, bz, pw, mobi etc.
Only superkeys will sell on auctions.
New tlds - a business for ICANN, for registrars, but not a business for domainers. Many new tlds could not have a profit and they may disappear.
Only domainers (no ICANN, no registrars) - the basis of Domaining, which attract a funds to domaining.
