Hello MHB
Often the simplest answers are the best ones, someting Rick Schwartz covered recently.
When it comes to Online Marketing, that depends on Human response in the its simplest form ,many Tech and Ad people miss the human side of Online Marketing basic facts.
Consumer Human response will render gTLDs useless because they will only transact on trusted .COM sites.
They may happen onto a gTLD site and find it of interest but when it comes to pulling out their wallet they click on a .COM site to make their purchases.
Its tough to fight Human response.

Hello Everyone,
Being Marketing Analysts ourselves, We collectively figured the gTLD Marketing angle immediately.
From a Marketing standpoint,the gTLDs are designed specifically to Market Traffic back to the applicants (.COM Profit Centers )
A Question you may ask yourselves is why would you purchase a gTLD if you did not already own the (.COM Profit Center ) ? ?

Just play along, unless you want to appear stupid.

The perfectly tailored Marketing tool to attract the largest Marketing Demographic is NOT the .Whatevers.
The largest richest Marketing demographic is the Baby boomers.
The Baby Boomers are firmly entrenched purchasers on (.COM Profit Centers ).
Trying to fight this powerfull Demographic is like trying to

Hello MHB,
Is anyone wondering why so many secondary market sales are .COM Profit Centers?
You hardly ever see .whatever sales which are far and few between.
The mere fact that major players the gTLD applicants have chosen to try out Pure Play Generic markers = gTLDs to try to market Traffic back to their .COM Profit centers tells you that they know the power of Generic pure play Marketing Tools.
The catch twenty 22 for them is they do not control the .COM Pure Play Generics ,someone else controls these powerfull devices, it could be you, if you play your cards right. Whats the difference ? their right of the dot is not what consumers will trust to transact on? Is the picture getting clearer here?
