Recently bought this.
Kind of a fan of i prefix geos so I wanted this one pretty badly, since Mumbai is the most populated city on earth, and all....

Anyway, I'm fairly knowledgeable when it comes to geo development strategies, but I haven't ever full-scaled a meaningful India name before, so I'd love to hear tips/tricks/pointers from those who have. Since I cannot court direct advertisers (being thousands of miles away, and all ), I'll probably have to verticalize using various affiliates.

Thanks in advance

It's a nice domain.

The best paying affiliates for this sort of thing are generally travel affiliates. Especially as you don't live there, I'd concentrate on making it a tourist portal.

Good luck with the development!

i agree with Jeff. In addition to that, you may also add info (Infomumbai= imumbai??) on resturants, shopping, theaters, Accommodations which every mumaiker will look in to.
Good name! Good luck to you

like Jeff said, Travel portal/blog will be the best way to start.
get some original content and start slowly. the most important thing is having fresh new content at least once a week.
As for monetizing - I would start with Google Adsense, and take it from there.

nice domain, its certainly a keeper

Yeah, this one's been added to the resale portfolio. Had intended on developing it, but caught up in many other projects and this one is low priority.

We've contacted a few people who've expressed interest in it. One of the problem with India domains is that the offers- when they come- are just so ridiculously low...

Either way, it's not going anywhere below a certain price point. If no interest from the buyers, we'll develop it into an earning enterprise, probably app related.

please never sell it cheaply, its a killer 'i' domain with huge potential.
wait 5-10 years if you have to....its worth the wait
